Im going with original RE Lore here but the progess of infection of Raccoon may have gone as follows:

1: Something survives the Mansion, be it a dog or crow or random zombie, the infection continues to spread, but very slowly.

Is there a way of making the bottom floor of the Library show as search completed/blue on Claire A?

It's the only room in the station that is red for me and I can't see what is causing it.

Actually, no. It's kind of a funny story, in a sad way. Let's see if I remember it.

Spoilers about William Birkin: there's a file in RE2 '98 that says, straight up, that Birkin planned to use his perfection of the G-Virus to bulldog his way into a seat on Umbrella's board of directors. He was a lifer; he had no intention of leaving. The question was why an Umbrella strike team proceeded to shoot him and steal his poo poo. It was a big plot hole, back in the day, and one of several.

The explanation we ended up getting was really hemstitched together, from "Wesker's Report II," a new file that only appeared in the N64 version of RE2, and a Japanese audio drama about Ada that was never translated.

(This appears to just be something that Shinji Mikami loves to do, since things also get "explained" like this a couple of times in the Evil Within games, like what the gently caress the Anima is supposed to be in the second one. One of the funny things about RE5, especially in the unlockable files, is just how many plot holes got hastily closed in them, all at once, explicitly and finally, because Mikami hadn't bothered to do anything about them before he left Capcom. It also doesn't help that Noboru Sugimura, who wrote RE2, dropped dead suddenly in 2005.)

Basically, when Birkin and Wesker were younger, they hosed over Umbrella's French division and stole all the credit for a big project. Ten years later, the head of Umbrella France turns out to be the one who sent HUNK's strike team to steal the G-Virus from Birkin.

So in the original, Birkin got chopped due to inter-branch warfare at Umbrella. In the remake, his funding got cut and Umbrella's making some very pointed observations about who actually owns the G-Virus, since he made it on their dime. Birkin's subsequently getting ready to cut and run to the U.S. military when the strike team jumps him.

The Special Forces strike team in Raccoon City in RE3 is, to the best of my knowledge, never actually explained. It's meant as an open question as to why they were there at all, since there are a couple of other files in the game that broadly hint that Umbrella was in bed with at least elements within the American government. It actually got picked up again in RE6, somewhat.

Is there any achievement related to hoarding every item? The keys no longer get auto discarded, which got me thinking there might be something like that.

Capcom has already announced that there’s a free DLC coming that will add a “roguelike” mode with new characters, a new enemy, and an item shop system!

I've no video skills so here is what one of you have to do: Record a bunch of death scenes at the hands of X. Create a compilation video that builds suspense, uses the music you hear when he chases you, then cuts to X Gon' Give it to Ya once the punching begins. Viral hit. You're welcome.
