Author's Note: This isn't a typical fic for me. The style is completely different and the story is not going to be what you're used to if you've been reading any of my stuff. This is based off of a current, running, story arc that is happening, very fluidly, on Tumblr.

This started when I decided I wanted to challenge my writing style a bit. How to write an entire story in the form of memos, emails, text messages, asks and the like without a full blown prose style? It's been a challenge, I can't lie :) Some parts have required a more story like format and I've kind of just rolled with it as it's happened.

Right now the current crew is: Jill Redfield (directorjredfield), Ada Wong (ask-a-w), Leon Kennedy (ask-l-s-k), Helena Harper (asksassyhelena), Carla Radames (harbingerbutterfly), and Chris Redfield (directorjredfield and bsaacaptain -who seems to be MIA at this point-). I do accept asks on the Director blog and sometimes they shape the story, sometimes not. We are also happy to have more characters join in. Drop me a message on the Director blog if you're interested.

As I said before, the story is very fluid and even I don't know where's it's going. It's sort of a chose your own adventure type I guess, since it's always changing based on what everyone throws out there. So, with that being said, this is the Hunt for Ada story arc. It is tagged on Tumblr under that tag. I've tried to gather all the stuff that went out for this, but it didn't occur to me to do this until it was well under way, so I might have missed a few things. I will be adding some prose here likely when called for that might not have popped up in the blog itself for the sake of filling in some of the gaps.

Enjoy.

PS: I just realized FF is killing the email addresses used... sorry. Not going to go back and try to tweak them...

RE: Jake Muller

As per my previous request, all files and questions pertaining to Jake Muller from the BSAA need to come through me and my office. All files you may have previously had on this man need to be removed from all branches and sent directly to myself. This includes all electronic and paper copies. This is not a request, it is an order.

Because this is a matter of the utmost seriousness, I will expect nothing less than complete cooperation on the matter.

Sincerely,

Jill Redfield

Jill-

As ordered you will have the names on your desk today. There's one in particular I want to talk to you about anyway. I'm kind of on the fence with him, maybe you have a suggestion I haven't thought of yet.

Leon called to tell me he couldn't get through to you earlier today. He needs to speak with you about the status of the Muller file. I told him you would call him back. Sounds like he just wants assurance everything has been taken care of on your end.

RE: Ada Wong

The DSO is currently blocking our investigation into the female known as Ada Wong. I would like ALL intel you have on this person ASAP. Per our operatives she is believed to be dead, however her body was never recovered. While it is possible this is due to a B.O.W. state, it has not been confirmed and therefore at the request of this office she has not been placed on the deceased list.

We have reason to believe she has access to every virus we've ever battled and her intentions with these were unknown until China. It would greatly behoove us to find where her samples are being held in order to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.

I will expect the full cooperation from everyone on this matter.

Sincerely,

Jill Redfield

Mrs. Redfield:

While I understand your personal desire to pursue such a matter, I do not see how this concerns us at this time. If Ada Wong is dead then she is the least of our worries. Her actions in China are deeply regrettable and I understand you have a personal stake in the matter, however simply because we do not have a body, we cannot assume she is alive.

RE: Ada Wong

Mr. Murima:

First let me point out that assuming someone is dead without a body didn't work so well for the BSAA last time. I have the headstone to prove it.

Furthermore, I have personally been contacted by Ada Wong herself today. In fact, she wanted to congratulate Chris and I on our marriage. I have already started a trace on her location and will be sending a team as soon as it is locked.

Finding her samples before the rest of them can be unleashed should be a BSAA top priority. Perhaps because you didn't not get to see first hand, or even second hand for that matter, the damage she wrought on her little vacation to China, but I did. In fact, I lost half my men because of that. And that was just from the North America Division.

The next time you want to tell me that something should not be a priority, I highly suggest you check your facts first. This is of the utmost priority seeing as how she has already proven she is willing to massacre large numbers of people.

Message from ask-a-w: Allow me to extend a belated congratulations to your marriage with Mr. Redfield. I was wondering, why weren't you in Lanshiang to help him out?

Reply from directorjredfield: Ms. Wong. So I see reports of your death have been slightly exaggerated.

Unfortunately my duties as director do not usually extend to field work, but I can assure you had I been there, Leon wouldn't have stopped me. Come near my husband again and I will hunt you down personally.

Jill calm down. You know Murima's an ass. Clive just called and told me what was going on. You should know better than to argue such things with him. Let me give Sheva a call and see if she knows a good work around.

I'll be up in an hour with your list. We'll talk about it then.

BTW, Why the HELL didn't you call me when Ada contacted you? I want that bitch's head on a pike.

Stop scowling at this. I mean it, stop it. Take a big deep breath. I'm the one that's supposed to be volatile remember, not you.

Reply from directorjredfield: Then I'm sure you won't mind coming in for a debriefing. You know, clear your record. I'll meet you personally. Then you can tell us why you killed so many of our men in Edonia alone.

You won't always have someone protecting you Wong. Whoever it is at the DSO who keeps blocking our investigating will go down for treason.

RE: Ada Wong Location

Scramble a BlackHawk, we have a lock on Wong's location. This information does NOT leave this office or you'll have me to deal with. We cannot risk a mole inside our own, or our sister services to tip this woman off. She currently claims she is no longer in possession of any samples but we have no way to confirm this information.

She is to be brought in for questioning. Just a reminder… she can't answer questions if she's in pieces. We need her alive people.

Chris will be putting the team together to go after her. You are to meet at the landing zone at 1300. Quint will be providing the equipment for this op. Keith Lumley will be leading it. This is a snatch and grab people. Minimize the damage. Watch your ass, she is considered armed and dangerous.

Chris: Relax. I can feel you getting pissed from across the building. The team is almost ready to go.

The BSAA is formerly requesting all the files the DSO has on Ada Wong, including her current whereabouts. I have personally be contacted by Ms. Wong herself in recent days. She claims she has not retained any of the samples she has stolen and refuses to turn herself in.

If the DSO is aware of her location the BSAA is ready to act on it. We currently have intel on a location and would like to confirm. We have recently moved her to our Top 5 Wanted Bioterorists.

Your cooperation in the matter is greatly appreciated.

RE: Ada Wong

Be advised on our arrival to Ada Wong's most recent known location revealed a facility that appears to have been abandoned in a hurry. The suspect in question was not found. We did, however, recover several computers. Techs will be going through them as soon as they arrive at the facility.

Keith Lumley will be providing a more detailed report of the operation once he arrives at his home base.

I do not need to explain my extreme frustration with the situation. Not only did we not find Ms. Wong, but several of our men were seriously injured in the raid. It appears the facility held many booby traps that were very well hidden. It does appear these traps were meant to hurt not kill.

The sooner we can locate Ms. Wong, the sooner we can make the world a safer place. I believe Ms. Wong presents a significant threat to the world as a whole at this time. Despite possible information that has been leaked to both the BSAA and the DSO, at the very least she needs to be brought in for questioning.

It is time to route heavy resources to locating this threat.

RE: Operation Red

ATTACHMENT: Lumley Field Report,

Director Redfield,

I am sending my report to your desk first as there are things here I do not wish to include in the report that gets filed but I will leave that up to your discretion. Once you read through it, I believe you will feel the same as I do. Please let me know how you wish to proceed.

Your team arrived here and we immediately gathered our resources and were enroute to the target. Target in question was a warehouse on the outskirts of a medium sized village. The warehouse has been abandoned for many years but locals began to report activity around the building a few weeks ago. This was part of our tip off for this operation.

We mobilized to the area and scouted. We noted power to the building that was not reported to local utility services. We also noted new, high end, electronic locks on the doors and a very high end, military grade, security system monitoring the grounds.

Thanks to Quint we were able to tap into the security system and find out where all the cameras and notion sensors were located. We also discovered the use of heat monitoring systems in what appeared to be a vault of some kind. No actual cameras were in that room.

We breached the fence easily after disarming the electrical system attached and entered the grounds. From experience we were concerned we could possibly find Cerberus on the grounds but we did not. Something for which I am immensely grateful for.

Quint also provided us with the resources to breech the locks on the east facing delivery bay doors. Once we disabled the lock we entered the building in Alpha formation. It wasn't until after we all entered that things began to go wrong. Quint suspects a secondary security system that was not detected. He's currently beating himself up about it. You might want to call him yourself if you have a minute.

The initial flash bang went off, but not next to us, instead it was in a caged area north of our entrance. It appears she set it up so that if the building were breached, the self destruct mechanisms were activated. That in turn triggered a chain reaction. We were only a few yards into the building when the door closed and locked behind us.

Several controlled explosions happened at once. Small fires also broke out, but it is unclear if these were set separately or as the result of the explosions.

I won't go into detail on the traps that were set for us. That is in the official report. I will tell you this: If she'd wanted to kill us, she could have easily taken out half the team. These were set to hurt, not kill. Maybe she feared civilians would make it in and be killed. But she obviously had to know we were coming or she wouldn't have bailed out. After it was done locals reported seeing a dark haired woman leaving about an hour prior to our arrival. We were close. We need to know how she knew we were coming for her.

We did manage to recover 3 separate computer systems. Quint is currently trying to recover any data left on them. At least one ran a wipe program but he says it didn't have the change to complete so he's confident he can pull something out of it but can't say what just yet.

Jill, I found documentation that points a finger at the DSO. Much of it was destroyed or damaged, but I managed to gather makes me think there is a mole in the DSO. No names were ever mentioned so I can't tell you who it is, but someone over there knows what's going on. Someone there has protected her for a long time now. Maybe we should just be relieved it's not someone inside the BSAA, but considering the relationship we have established with the DSO, this doesn't make me feel much better. I have attached the scans of what I recovered.

Right now there are only three of us who know about this. Myself, Quint and now you. I anticipate you will be sharing it with Chris as soon as you've put eyes on it. I understand and can't disagree, but I think we need to keep this among us for now. At least until we can figure out what is happening.

Also attached is my official report. If you would like me to change it to include these findings I will, but I thought it would be best if you decided one way or another.

RE: Operation Red

Keith:

I agree with your assessment of the situation. I admit I would like to discuss your assessment of the traps laid. I have a hard time believing someone of her… nature… would only set them to hurt. Then again I suppose it's all in how you perceive it. Tran is still in the hospital with serious injuries. He will likely not be able to remain in the field once he is released. They don't know yet.

As for the information you found… Chris and I would like to meet with you in person to discuss this. I feel the fewer people who know about this, the better. Since we do not know who we can trust with this right now, I'd prefer to keep it close to the chest. At least until we have further evidence of what is happening at the DSO. As tempted as I am to contact some of the people I know, I'm going to hold off until we have more time to analyze what you have.

Let me know what your earliest convenience is to meet. I know you will have to wrap up what you have working there, but I hope you will be able to fly here soon.

Regards,

Jill
