** Chris learns from Leon that Jake Muller is the late Albert Wesker's son, which explains why Chris had a sense of familiarity when they first met. Chris decides to tell Jake about his father, namely outing himself as the one who killed him.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' Chris would wait until his mission was over before breaking the news to Jake.\\
'''Instead:''' He decides to tell him ''in the middle of the mission'', knowing full well that Jake would not take it well and could possibly retaliate. Predictably, Jake gets ''very'' pissed off, pulls his gun on him, and fires but purposely misses Chris's head by mere centimeters while stating that he will deal with him later. The way Chris acts non plussed when he confesses that he's Wesker's killer as well as not flinching from the gunshot makes him look like he wanted to be killed.

'''[[FridgeBrilliance However]]:''' It would be very suspicious for a terrorist group to just kidnap the daughter of the President of the USA, then release her unharmed without any ransom demands. The Plagas maturing inside a host has obvious symptoms like coughing up blood and psychotic episodes. If Saddler were to release Ashley before they've matured, people will take notice and may discover the parasite. They may not be able to cure her, but Saddler's sleeper agent would be compromised. Letting her Plaga mature before sending her back, on the other hand, would prevent anyone finding out before its too late. A drastic change in personality can be explained away by citing the trauma of her kidnapping. What's more, if you're going to plant a sleeper agent, you need to brief and equip them first. Sending Ashley back without instructions and a supply of Plagas eggs isn't going to magically subvert the USA's government.\\

** HUNK and his teammate have just critically wounded William Birkin, the head researcher of the G-Virus project and are standing alone in his laboratory. They have at least two more men positioned outside. They are all highly trained, heavily armed and armored professional killers whose only likely opposition are a 110-pound woman with no combat experience and her pre-pubescent daughter.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' They would do a sweep of the room, searching for any additional virus samples and checking to see if the man they were sent to kill and just riddled with bullets was in fact dead.\\
'''Instead:''' They book it, grabbing the virus samples and getting out. Not only did Birkin survive the attack, though gravely injured, he happened to have a sample of the monster-making virus on his person. When he injects himself with it, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge the results]] [[CurbstompBattle are predictable]]. This not only leads to the near-complete decimation of the team, but also results in the virus infecting the entire city and leading to the downfall of Umbrella.\\
'''Even Worse:''' ''This happened before'', chronologically anyway. Dr. James Marcus was similarly assassinated by the U.S.S--it's entirely possible and even speculated that HUNK was a part of that operation--and a similar outcome led to Marcus coming back to life, infecting a train, destroying two Umbrella facilities and nearly becoming unstoppable were it not for the timely intervention of a rookie cop and an ex-Marine.

** A viral outbreak of an insanely contagious virus able to cross-infect almost any species of living organism--everything from humans to earthworms to plants--has occurred in Raccoon City, a small city located within the heart of the mainland United States.

'''You'd Expect:''' Umbrella to do some sort of damage control. Yes, this incident is bad.

'''It Gets Worse:''' They insert "supervisors" into the command ranks of the mercenaries to gather said combat data, who Umbrella plans to extract once they have completed this task, or at the very least the data they hand in. All well and good, until one of them decides to pull a ''Film/TheTreasureOfTheSierraMadre'' and bump off all the other Supervisors to take ''their'' combat data and sell it off to the highest bidder.
