Sheena Island





HISTORY


''Sheena Island'' is a Top Secret island located off the European Coast . It has a city owned mostly by the Umbrella Corporation . The island contains a Research Facility that houses a community of Researcher s that work on the mass production of the Tyrant series. It included the small city and suburban research centers. Sheena Island became a site of another T-Virus outbreak that infected the residing city and the Umbrella owned facilities. Sheena Island's residents (at least those working for Umbrella) were oftenly cruel with the foreign prisoners taken for biological experimentation.

Sheena Island was leaded by Commander Vincent Goldman , a ruthless Umbrella executive. He was stationed in there to supervise the Tyrant mass production in the so-called "Tyrant Plant". He even contrivuted in creating a way in how to perform the Tyrant mass production more efficiently (which included the extraction of a material of the brain of the test subjects during painful surgeries). Goldman also ordered for the abduction of young individuals around the world. These were brought to the island to be used as "guinea pigs" in the Tyrant Plant. They were also drugged with some out-of-the-experiment chemical materials, suposedly to test some Umbrella pharmaceutical products. An Arcade was intentionally used for the enjoyment of the prisoners, to relieve their stress before their impending surgery.

However, one particular prisoner was able to overcome with the situation and became aware of his future fate. In order to retain his consciousness he avoided most meals that appeared to be impregnated with experimental drugs. He then began to formulate an escape plan with some inmates. With the security guards of the prison busy on gathering information about a disaster that ocurred in the United States (the destruction of Raccoon City ), the prisoner gathered his other comrades to formulate their escape plan. They launched an armed disturb and proceeded to escape the prison. But Commander Vincent found about this and killed them all (in one way or another). Goldman then ordered for the coverage of these events. However, some residents of Sheena Island found about Vincent's affairs and began to gather evidence and expose it to deprive him of his position. During these events, Ark Thompson had infiltrated the city and began posing as Vincent to collect valuable information(by orders from Leon Scott Kennedy ). But Vincent (thanks to a local child whom he trusted named Lott Klein) discovered this and he planned to solve the problem with a definite solution.

On November 22 , Commander Vincent Goldman managed to spread the T-Virus over the entire island (making sure it appeared to be an accident). He then attempted to hunt down Ark Thompson to finish the job and and then retrieve to Umbrella headquarters to collect his earnings; and when Ark was attempting to escape Sheena Island via helicopter, Vincent tracked him and shot it down. Ark lost his memory after the fall and wandered aimlessly (though not unconsciously) through the T-Virus infected city. Vincent lost his consciousness when the helicopter crashed, but survived. Somehow he got back at the local Umbrella facility to call Umbrella HQ for rescue. But Umbrella, after getting the disturbing news of the outbreak, sent a squad of special clean-up forces to eliminate any survivor with knowledge of the Tyrant production instead. These Umbrella Trashsweepers (colloquially known as "Cleaners", or "Undertakers") were ordered to recover the Tyrant data and to eliminate the possible perpetuators of the outbreak (Vincent was suposed to be part of the hitlist because of his knowledge, but it is not known for sure).

Meanwhile, Ark Thompson began to uncover some of Sheena Island's secrets as he ventured through the city. He visited certain areas that contained classified Umbrella data. With the help of a local sewer caretaker named Andy Holland (who earlier thought Ark was Vincent Goldman), Ark managed to reach the Umbrella research facility. Upon there, Vincent Goldman released several mass produced Tyrants to dispose of Thompson. He also found the now orphaned Lott Klein, a boy which was the son of an Umbrella employee in the island. He later recovered his memory and confronted Vincent in the research facility. During this, a prototype Tyrant (Hypnos) escaped from its container and killed Vincent in front of Ark Thompson. He survived the Tyrant onslaught and escaped the facility through a train which got Ark and Lott to a small airfield. There Ark found a plane (which was apparently used by the Umbrella Trashsweepers) and used it to escape the island with Lott & Lily (Lott's sister) Klein at his side. However, the earlier Tyrant reached the plane in a more mutated form. Ark managed to fire a stored missile to the mutated Tyrant and launch it out of the plane. He then used a second stored missile to blow the Tyrant in mid air. Ark Thompson and the Kleins escaped to safety.

Sheena Island's fate is still debated. Whether the island was deserted after the outbreak or it was subsequently nuked to stop the infection is unknown. But it is likely that Umbrella Inc could have destroyed it to stop a possible sea-level infection (since some T-Virus infected creatures would reach Sheena Island's shores and amphibian species could get infected).

During the T-Virus outbreak Sheena Island was populated by infected residents of the city and the Umbrella facilities including the Tyrant Plant. Lickers were also produced in the outbreak. Some hunters that were being housed in the Umbrella facility were released by Goldman to dispose of Ark Thompson.
