The story begins inside the hideout of the S.T.A.R.S. elite attack force as one of the original members, Barry Burton, discusses a problem with a mysterious elderly woman. A new type of B.O.W. (Bio Organic Weapon) has been developed by the Umbrella Corporation and is believed to be onboard the cruise liner Starlight. Starlight has already begun its voyage to Europe and now rests somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. Leon S. Kennedy, the star of Resident Evil 2, was assigned to eliminate the B.O.W. His last communication confirmed was aboard the Starlight, but he hasn't been heard from since. In addition, Barry can't figure out why a poem he learned as a child suddenly has returned to him: "I loathe the ocean and the secrets it holds, forever deep, dark, and cold." |
