Tricell Researcher Miguel's Journal 1 is a file that can be found in Resident Evil 5.

Location[]

The file can be acquired in the Progenitor Flower Research Lab (the lab with the flowers inside fluid-filled capsules) inside of the Progenitor Virus House, during Chapter 5-1. Turning on the black flatscreen computer closest to the doorway into the lab will give you this file.

Feb. 19

When I heard it was THE laboratory used by Umbrella in Africa, my expectations were raised, to say the least. But when I saw it, well, it's a lab in name only. I don't know how Umbrella ever used it, and Lord knows how Tricell could possibly have any use for it.

The place was abandoned long ago, so there's nothing there of any value to us. Not one piece of lab equipment remains, at least nothing that still works. I can't say I'm surprised because I half expected this.

Anyway, the important thing is the Progenitor virus.

If we didn't need that virus for our research, there would have been no need to come to this run-down Umbrella facility anyway. We already have samples of the T-Virus, the G-Virus, the T-Veronica virus and even the Las Plagas parasite. We have everything we need for our research.

We just didn't have that damned Progenitor virus.

But we finally got our hands on it. Hopefully this will give us that much needed breakthrough in our research. I can't wait to start working on it.

I wonder who came up with the name Licker for those creatures. I mean, when you see its long tongue you just know that it's the perfect name.

But for researchers like me, B.O.W.s like Lickers are just a pain in the ass. If I said Lickers were too perfect, I'd probably be going too far in my praise. But they're pretty much an evolutionary dead-end. There's no room left for improvement.

B.O.W.s that were created using the T-Virus don't seem to show much improvement when the Progenitor virus is administered.

I mean, their abilities show some slight improvements. For example, their sense of smell seems more or less improved.

But that's all we've got so far. They're still blind as an old lady, and they're ugly as shit. The biggest jump in their evolution seems to be their ability to reproduce.

I hate when things don't go according to plan, but since there's still a demand for Lickers on the B.O.W. market, I guess things aren't all that bad.

"あの"アンブレラのアフリカ研究所って聞いていたから少しは期待していたけど、
実際には研究所と名のつくところなんて、
アンブレラだろうがトライセルだろうが大して違いがあるわけじゃないな。

すでに遺棄された研究所だから、
ろくな研究も残されていないし、ほとんどの機材が運び出されている。
まあ、予想していなかったわけじゃないから、それほどショックじゃないけどね。
大事なのは始祖ウィルスだ。

これがなければ、わざわざアンブレラの古びた研究所まで来る必要なんかない。
俺たちはすでに、t-ウィルスやG-ウィルス、t-Veronicaさえ持っている。プラーガだってある。
何でも揃っている。

だが、肝心の始祖ウィルスがなかった。
それを、ついに手に入れたってわけだ。
こいつがきっと、俺たちの研究にブレイクスルーをもたらしてくれるはずだ。
ワクワクするね。

リッカーって名前は誰が付けたんだろうな。
あの長い舌を見ていると、上手い名前を付けたもんだって思えるよ。
だが、研究者にとっては厄介なB.O.W.だ。
完成されすぎていると言ったら褒めすぎか。
進化の袋小路に入っているのかもしれないな。

t-ウィルスの作用で変異したB.O.W.を始祖ウィルスで更に進化させようとしたが、
どうにも上手くいかない。
確かに、多少の能力の向上はあったよ。
感覚器官で言えば、嗅覚は多少鋭くなったようだ。

だけど、それだけだ。
相変わらず視力はないに等しいし、醜い外見もそのままだ。
大きく進化したと言えば、繁殖能力ぐらいか。
本当に世の中ってのは思い通りにいかないもんだ。
ま、これはこれでB.O.W.として需要があるから良しとするか。
