Welcome to my Umbrella Chronicles guide, fellow RE fan!             - Berserker
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The first known incident of the viral outbreak occurred in the Summer of 1998. 
It all started on the outskirts of the American Midwestern Town of Raccoon 
City, in the Arklay Mountains.  The virus eventually spread into the peaceful 
community and caused a widespread of panic and chaos as the inhabitants of the 
the city were transformed into the walking dead through the mutation effects of 
the T-virus.

The President of the United States declared Raccoon City a disaster and ordered 
a missile to be launched in order to sterilize the city and keep the virus from 
spreading.  On the morning of October 1, 1998, Raccoon City was literally wiped 
off the map with a destructive blast.  Umbrella, the worldwide pharmaceutical 
enterprise lead by Ozwell E. Spencer, was to blame for the release of the T-
virus upon the unsuspecting public but little evidence lead to Umbrella 
Corporation's involvement.  Only a select few knew the full truth as to 
Umbrella's guilt but there was no proof.

Fast forward to the year 2004 and Umbrella has been disbanded after an 
indefinite suspension of business decree ordered by the President resulting 
from new evidence found that proved Umbrella's involvement in the Raccoon City 
Incident.  The full truth behind the fall of Umbrella is a secret to which only 
a select few are aware of.  What exactly happened to cause their downfall and 
by whom?

Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles answers that question and takes us on a 
journey through the untold events that helped to lead to the downfall of the 
Umbrella Corporation.  Reboard the Ecliptic Express, reenter the Spencer 
Estate, relive Raccoon's Destruction, all leading to the epic fight at a secret 
Russian Umbrella base that will cause Umbrella to lie in ruin at the hands of a 
select few.  There are two sides to every story and this tale shares both of 
them allowing you to play as the people behind Umbrella and those that pursue 
them.

Within this guide, you will find a full detailed walkthrough of all the 
Scenarios and Subscenarios of the game along with a full File and Item list 
that will help you to complete each stage in its entirety all typed up by an 
obsessed Resident Evil fan.  Together, we will find the truth behind the rise 
and fall of the Umbrella Corporation starting in the Arklay Mountains of 
Raccoon City...

===============================================================================
Here are a few aspects that have not been added yet, need work, or that I need 
to remind myself of: ("X" = DONE!)

(X) ^ That intro needs to be redone since I don't like it... (I do now :D)
(X) Secondary Weapon pickups have not been identified in some chapters.
(X) Recommended weapons are not present for all chapters.
(X) Basics section needs to be beefed up. (still feel it could be better.)
(X) Some of the enemy names need a bit of work.
(X) Only half of the chapters are described, others will come shortly.

   (X) Raccoon's Destruction 1
   (X) Raccoon's Destruction 2
   (X) Raccoon's Destruction 3
      (X) Death's Door
      (X) Fourth Survivor
   (X) Umbrella's End 1
   (X) Umbrella's End 2
   (X) Umbrella's End 3
      (X) Dark Legacy 1
      (X) Dark Legacy 2

(X) Files and Items section needs some major format changing and some of those 
    descriptions need to be beefed up a bit since they are standalone in that 
    section. (nah, it looks good as it is)
(X) Weapon Info.
(X) Hard Mode S-rank tips/strategies. (CANCELED, view Egheadfool's S-rank Guide 
    on GameFAQs.  I would only be rewording his strategies basically.)
(X) Might add a characters section. (I did.)
( ) PROOFREAD - seems like I never get to this step nowadays.
