could the T-veronica virus be infecting the tube-girl in RE5?

Alexia = cyrotube preserved
tube girl = cyrotube preserved

I just have the random feeling that the t-veronica virus could be in the tube-girl's body for some reason. sorry if its been discussed to death, but anyone have any thought on this?

I got the impression it (whatever the woman is infected with, if anything) was something TriCell developed, especially if it is a TriCell laboratory. AFAIK, Wesker isn't yet involved with TriCell (i.e. before the game), so they don't have T-Veronica. I could be wrong, though, I haven't been keeping up with everything.

That's actually not a bad theory, but the T-Veronica just isn't that well known of a virus. I don't know, there's every possibility.

Wesker is obviously involved with TriCell, if after he recovered Jill's body, he turned it over to Excella ("You're just one of Excell'a playthings"). Besides, it seems that maybe TriCell was working with Umbrella all along, hence Chris & Sheva finding a TriCell cargo box next to the Umbrella one.

Hmm, well like I said, I haven't been keeping up with all this stuff, so I hadn't heard that quote. I stand corrected.

^Don't think of it that way. After all, I could be wrong. It is just my interpretation of the media I have seen. Once you have seen it all, you can make your own assumption.

Plus Capcom's BSAA website has information on the T-veronica virus. They could be hinting at something.

What's the URL of the BSAA website?

My thoughts exactly. When I checked the site before, I was like "huh..."

Either way...the anticipation for this game is starting to get really, really hard.

Thanks.

The impression I got was that the flying plaga seen in the demo and trailer was a plaga infected with T-Veronica. They looked reminiscent of Alexia.

[Darkmoon]

It is quite possible. I know I was talking to Alexia about this yesterday and mentioned if Sherry was in the game I'd think serious thoughts about her being in a tube being infected by T-Veronica. She could have been exposed and frozen nearly ten years ago...

This doesn't stop the idea of a different strain of T-Veronica being used on whoever is in the tube. One that only takes, say, two or three years to turn you into a controlled mutant. Or that what we see is a character part way through the process who may turn into a hideous beastie when prematurely released. Oh the irony. Or a clone. Although I hate clones and intend to go producer hunting if that crap makes any more apperances.

[Red-Jackal]

Well, there are actually more hints to the virus than we can simply see from the BSAA website.

Taking the images of the T-veronica cells into consideration, these same cells(shown splitting and connecting together, much like neurons) are shown in the intro of the RE5 title,and in different segments of the trailers, Theatrical: seen right after the appearance of the Isonade-like boss(Irving) and right before Wesker's line "six billion cries". 2009: Interestingly while cutting between clips of the red vial in Birdlady's hand and Irving's, these cells seem to shown as if they are what should be contained in the vial...

Hrm...if I'm not mistaken, the syringe in which Excella has ahold of, looks like it contains a rather red tinted liquid/viral agent as well.

Something intriguing about those images though. It is noted that they have suffered erosion, which would not be the case if they were taken from someone who had undergone stasis while symbiosis of the virus occured.
The sample would have come from a person infected before stasis...

And as I mentioned before on another forum,(if I believe that it should work this way); you take the variation of T-veronica from Alexia, which was allowed 15 years to bond with the genetic make-up of a human; then take that strain from the host, inject it into Steve...
Here's the part we need clearance on. Now Steve could either have been put into stasis afterwards, up until 2009. Or, if we consider another theory:
Spoiler:

show spoiler

Up till 2006, with the fall of a certain someone. Now my estimation may be a little rough, but you take 15 years in symbiosis with Alexia, and 7 years possibly within Steve. Then if it becomes the case that Jill is injected with this variation right after her fall, and put in stasis till 2009, you have a total of 25 years to sort of "perfect" the virus to be manipulated by a human specimen. This may go hand-in-hand with the time it took for Lisa Trevor to produce any results with the interaction between the viruses and the NE-T parasite(21 years), and therefore bearing the G-virus.

The Archives seems to note that also, even in her evolved state, Alexia was still imperfect...meaning that perhaps further symbiosis was needed.
About the plant thing, I think it was also mentioned in Archives as well; or various sources. It likes to point out the plant-like features on Alexia's different forms. I wonder if there is any connection to the "SonnenTreppe" flowers...

Wouldn't surprise me if Wesker's company sold the T-veronica virus after the Rockfort Island incident to Tricell. Someone within the company stealing the T-veronica virus and sell it to Tricell isn't quite farfetch either. Afterall, RE: Degeneration have shown that most if not all of Umbrella's virus have already been out on the black market. WilPharma (Tricell) got their hand on the G-virus and T-virus, while Curtis Miller got his hand on the T-virus.

Anyway, my point is, its not hard to gain access to Umbrella's virus, when you have people within Umbrella waiting to stab the company in the back for years. Federick Downing and Morpheus are just some of the people who have stolen the T and G-virus and sell them to the black market, and we also saw how Wilpharma (Tricell) and probably other more yet-to-surfaced companies gotten their hand on the virus by RE5. Tricell could have gotten the T-veronica from the black market easy without Wesker, simply by purchasing it straight from Wesker's company. T-Veronica isn't Wesker's personal keepsake.

yah, that was what gives me the feeling. Plaga's been confirmed to be appearing in the game. we have the leech monster which gives a possibility of Progenitor virus appearing in the game too. Then there's the naked guy with tentacle sprouting out from his body in the trailer, and I associate that with hint of the Nemesis parasite's presence in the game. If all these are true, then all that's left is the G-virus (which appeared in Degeneration) and the T-veronica virus.

These are just my speculation.
