Mid-Chapter Update
"Bittersweet Cure"
"I couldn't be better, Ada! A reuinion such as yours should be celebrated!" He held out his arms as if asking Ada to take all of him in. He did not lose that smirk on his face. "Ah, but when or where are you from? Perhaps it doesn't matter..." He leaned forward and placed his hands on the desk. "... For you have always been a traitorous one, haven't you?"
He let that sit for a moment, staring at her behind his sunglasses. He gave Scott a sidelong look, who didn't speak a word. "But the fact of the matter is, Ada, is that you should know more about me than anyone in this building. Even that American agent and Chris' nosey sister. So, you really should tell me what you think our working relationship is, and do not spare me the details."

Claire nodded at Jacob, knowing he as right. She had the group stop for a moment while they collected Leon and Adam, the former consistently stating he was fine.
Twisted Fate's eye saw nothing strange ahead, and when they walked the halls passed the power section, they soon came upon the lab Annette had mentioned. Warpath was put up front so that Annette would take the brunt of any trap she possibly had waiting. However, it seemed there was nothing at all waiting for them.
"William...?" Annette asked cautiously of the empty room, sounding unsure of his whereabouts. Nothing answered her.
"Well then," Claire muttered, stepping forward to get a look at the lab equipment. It had been quite a few years since she had made the serum, and she was hardly a scientist to begin with, so she felt largely at a loss for how to proceed. She turned to Annette and considered asking her, but considering how easy it would be for Annette to lie, Claire had to consider someone else. "Okay... you. I'll need you for this." She pointed to Milton, who looked surprised someone had addressed him at all.
"Me? I-I am flattered, but I hardly think I'm--"
Claire smiled. "Less talking, more helping. There's really no other option."
As the pair got to work, the other group arrived in a rush, causing some confusion from Claire's group.
"Is everyone all right?" Wanda asked, looking surprised. "We heard that man say..."
"William?" Annette scoffed. "The man's not as foolish as you think."
Claire could only give a shrug of her shoulders. For her, the priority now was the cure. With Milton's help, it didn't take long to synthesize, but making enough for everyone stretched the minutes along to an uncomfortable degree. Most would have been feeling the symptoms of the virus by the time they were finished, a fever settling in for the majority of them.
Once the serum was being distributed, Claire assured everyone that their symptoms would eventually go away. "It may take some time, so we'll need to rest here for just a bit. I know it's not ideal... but we can't go running into the heart of Umbrella as we are now."
With that seeming to be the logical course of action, the group tried their best to relax. Annette was watched closely, but as it turned out, she was the least of the group's worries for the moment. The sound of something burning was hard to notice at first, but when it resulted in the lights above the lab shutting off, a panic coursed through the room.
Claire yelled as there was the sound of something smashing, followed by a heavy thud that shooked the ground the group stood on. It was followed by silence. After a few seconds, the lab's emergency lights turned on. "There must have been a power outage," Annette said, glancing back toward the power room.
Now under a pale red light, the group found another horrific sight, but perhaps they were getting used to it at this point. On the ground lay Blake Dormi, dead. Nearby was Senna, impaled against the wall.
Claire shuddered, shying away from the bodies. She started shaking her head, tears stinging her eyes.
"Is this some kind of joke?" she asked, her voice dripping with venom. "Are you serious?! They finally got the cure, and now... they--" Claire let out a sound of frustration. "This group just keeps dying! Is this a suicide mission, is that it? Are we all just going to..." Claire turned, riaisng her gun to aim it straight at Annette's head.
"You did this. You did this to these people! I came here to stop you, and I don't care about your reasons anymore. Your daughter deserved far better than you!"
Claire looked ready to take the shot that would end Annette's life.
"Another pair, I see..."
For Senna and Blake, a white light awaited them, filling their vision and blinding them. It was only after a few moments could they see clearly, finding themselves in some kind of medical ward with a woman watching over them. The woman had blonde hair and a white suit, but she looked beyond tired.
"And I think you two will be the last, dears."
