November 16
We've closed down the research center.
It's strange, but I don't really care. I'm indifferent to the whole thing. I feel the same way as when I heard that the Arklay facility and Raccoon City were destroyed. When did I become so apathetic?
I've spent every waking moment research and extracting the Progenitor virus. Everything I did was for Dr. Marcus.
Actually, when I think about it, I probably stopped caring the day I heard he had died all those years ago.
I didn't feel angry or happy or even shocked; I felt nothing at all. It was as if all my emotions just shut down. I just kept sending out samples of the Progenitor virus to all of Umbrella's laboratories. I was just an automated machine reporting to Umbrella's headquarters every time one of my subordinates made a breakthrough or discovered something new.
I was like a zombie ambling through life. No thoughts, no feelings.
And now the Research center where I've spent half my life is closed.
I really don't care one way or another.
It's probably all for the best. Perhaps it is too late to have any semblance of a life again.

研究所が閉鎖されることになった。不思議と、どうでもいい気分だ。
そういえば、アークレイ研究所とラクーンシティが消滅したと聞いたときも同じような感じだった。
こうなってしまったのは、いつからだろうか?
始祖ウィルスの抽出と研究に明け暮れた日々。
全てはマーカス博士のためだった。
……そうだ。
十年前、博士が亡くなったと聞いたあの日から、私は全てに対して鈍感になった。
怒ることもなく、喜ぶこともなく、驚くこともなく、ただ始祖ウィルスを抽出し、アンブレラの各研究所に送る日々。
部下がもってくる研究の成果をただ評価し、使えそうなものは本社へと報告するだけの、ただの機械だ。
私はすでに死んでいた。
そして、私の半生をかけて育てたこの研究所ももうすぐなくなる。
もう、未練はない。
そろそろ潮時だろう。
Analysis[]
This journal left by Brandon Bailey mentions closing down the Umbrella Research Facility in Africa. He had spent a good deal of time researching and extracting the Progenitor Virus for the late James Marcus. He felt no emotion, sent Progenitor samples to other Umbrella labs and was acting in a zombie-like manner in his work.
