[accidental video post]
[see annette. see annette back in her laboratory under raccoon city, pacing, waiting, agitated. see annette checking over the room, performingly seemingly erratic actions - this chair sits here, this canister stands at precisely this point on the desk. see annette checking her watch, again and again.
see annette realizing she's forgotten something! and see annette sliding open the attache case and removing a vial of purple liquid. that's better. that purple liquid contains the very precious g-virus, don't you know. see her checking her watch once more, see her looking at the floor, see her adjusting her stance to just the right place, see that, that unsettled look on her face--
the doorway is open and black gas masks fill it. gas masks and machine guns.]
That's not him, where is he?
[see annette put up her gun, that gun she's clung to like a safety blanket all this time]
Can I help you, gentlemen?
Where's Dr. Birkin? We're here to collect his G-virus.
I'm sorry, he's not here right now. I'd ask if there's anything I could do, but I'm not just going to hand over our life's work. You understand, don't you?
[see annette back away, see her hand brush that carefully placed canister, see her swipe it onto the floor where it lands with a BANG
see the gas mask men let rip with gunfire
see annette stagger backwards
with red blooming on her
on her arm
on her chest
see her
fall]
Stop it, you might hit the sample!
[see the thieves, the cowards, those masked murders, see them stoop over her]
That's it alright.
[see them take her case, that case with all of those beautiful vials inside]
Okay, let's move out.
[see them run]
