As the Raccoon City incident begins, the Umbrella Corporation hires a private military firm to help evacuate high-ranking Umbrella executives and government officials. The firm deploys Unit 6, but the majority are bitten by zombies; surviving members JJ and Dylan Blake contact headquarters to seek extraction and medical assistance, but are instructed to quarantine and ultimately eliminate their fellow comrades, leaving JJ in disbelief and angering Dylan. The pair argue until the infected soldiers attack them and bite JJ, forcing Dylan to kill him.
