Plot
In Raccoon City, there is a top-secret genetic research facility station manufactured and controlled by the Umbrella Corporation, called The Hive. One day, in The Hive, a thief steals and in an effort to cover their tracks, throws a vial of the T-Virus, a genetically constructed mutating virus, into a lab, causing the vial to break and the virus to spread around the lab and into the air vents. The escape of the virus causes the facility's artificial intelligence, the Red Queen, to seal the Hive and kill everyone inside using the facility's automated systems.
