Author's note: Okay so here goes my attempt at story-telling. Surprisingly I'm NOT trying to self-insert here with an OC, I just like to make up storylines for stuff, and RE is my favourite series. I'm trying to keep Wesker fairly in character. Hope you enjoy and please (respectfully) review! I know the chapters are fairly short, but I don't want to suffocate anyone with the unecessary. This story takes place two years before the first Resident Evil, in Raccoon City where Albert Wesker is currently Alpha's squad captain and Enrico Marini is Delta's. I have bent some facts regarding the game's history, but have tried not to totally retcon anything, so please bare with me if bits of info are disregarded or missing.

Deep Blue, Chapter 1

"So what do you think we're here for?"

"I couldn't tell you, all I know is the boss needs to talk to both of us."

The hallway fell silent, Enrico Marini and Albert Wesker stood outside a conference room of the R.P.D. After a few moments a rather plain looking man with dark-rimmed glasses and a black suit opened the door and beckoned them in.

"Gentlemen, if you would take a seat." He said, motioning to a large table that contained no more than two black leather chairs. On the table sat a small black speaker. The man placed hi s hands behind his back as the two S.T.A.R.S captains took their places.

"Go ahead sir." The man announced after the two sat down. Suddenly a voice broke into the room over the intercom.

"Mr. Wesker and Mr. Marini, thank you for joining us today." The voice was a man's, he sounded old and his voice carried a light New Yorker accent. "You're here today because we've decided to introduce a prototype S.T.A.R.S unit into Raccoon City, the Epsilon Unit." Out of the corner of his eye Wesker noticed Enrico raising his eyebrows. The old man continued. "Everything they do is covert, it is comprised of five members, their area of expertise is stealth and biological research. Newly recovered samples from crime scenes, whether from Alpha or Bravo will be directed to their team leader, Colette Ericson. Colette, if you wouldn't mind taking over."

"Thank you sir." Wesker and Marini turned, standing now beside the suited man was a young woman, wearing S.T.A.R.S garb. Her caramel hair was gathered into a ponytail, the tips brushing just past her shoulders. Her face was detailed with delicate features, and a set of green eyes that reflected her youth. Enrico smiled, standing and presenting his hand.

"Nice to meet you, ma'am." He said, shaking her hand. Wesker said nothing, he let his eyes travel over her before shaking her hand silently and nodding.

"It's good to finally meet my colleagues. I feel my teams specialization will benefit S.T.A.R.S."

"Have you had much experience in combat, or are you geared more to the biological aspect of Epsilon?" Enrico asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Let's just say none of my targets have been aware they were in combat with me until it was too late." She smiled confidentally then continued. "I trained as a ghost soldier for three years before being recruited for S.T.A.R.S." She took a moment to look over the other team captain's. She had taken notice to Wesker's silence. " Alpha, you haven't said a word. Problem?" She asked, looking directly into his eyes. Wekser was only a few months new to the RPD himself, but he was trying to decide whether or not he would be able to use his abilities to further the information he funelled to Umbrella. He smiled and stepped forward, taking her hand and shaking it. "No, no problem."

"Let's keep this simple, gentlemen. One of the reason's I'm here is to use my team of researcher's to get the down and dirty on any and all evidence you may come upon. My men are some of the brightest in the business and my confidence in them is utmost. We are on a don't ask-don't tell basis. Just fill out the proper forms and have anything in question given to me. The less other squad members know about Epsilon the better." She smiled and paused. "We're best when nobody knows we're there. Remember that."

The man in the suit opened the door for the group as they all exited. Enrico strode past, followed by Colette. Wesker trailed behind a little slower, he wanted to see just how easy it was to get information from her.
