     Elza Walker never walked again.
     There are many who would have reacted badly to that. Many would have taken the old Linda's path and gladly stepped into the role of professional victim. Some might have even despaired enough to be driven to suicide. Not Elza. She was never that kind of person. "Like the saying goes," she told Rita the day she and Kevin paid her a visit. "When life serves you lemons, make lemonade." She was not about to let little things like not being able to walk or now having only one eye stop her. She did not look at these as limitations to endure, but rather as challenges to be met and obstacles to be overcome. If life was going to limit her in this way, then she would find another way to live. As had Maria in The Sound of Music, she would look for the open window. That was all there was to it. So she couldn't live a normal life with only half a body to live it with? Fine. She decided to instead go in the direction to which Ozwell Spencer himself had pointed her before this whole Outbreak nightmare started. She would develop her mind.
     As it turned out, at least one of her friends had already been thinking along the same lines. Even as Elza was recovering, Dr. Hamilton had already been in contact with a number of universities and colleges in the immediate area. He had also taken the liberty of telling them about Elza and her unique situation, as well as something about the kind of young woman that he was championing. By the time he finally shared with Elza about what he was doing, almost every one of them had willingly agreed to honor her now-defunct full scholarship to Raccoon University. She had picked the best of them, based on Dr. Hamilton's own recommendation, and then promptly enrolled. She worked even harder at her studies than she had before she was crippled, and earned her bachelor's in record time, and then her masters, and then eventually her doctorate. Along the way, she also picked up two more master's degrees, two bachelor's, and an associate’s degree to boot. Her main degree, however, the one for which she eventually earned her doctorate, was in biochemistry. That had been only a single required course of her original Umbrella scholarship. Elza had decided to use her newly developed mental talents in order to help prevent another Raccoon City from happening, not to mention working with those trying to fight the new problem of global bioterrorism that Umbrella's efforts had spawned. She pursued her new life's path with all of the zeal and determination with which she had chased after her old pastimes and dreams. This surprised no one who knew her, or no one who came to know her in her new life, for Elza Walker was and always would be both a remarkable and formidable woman. However, before that particular chapter of her new life began, there was one more act to play out with regards to Elza's adventures in Raccoon City during the Outbreak. That was when the Umbrella Corporation was finally put on trial for all of the crimes it had committed. What many would later acknowledge as the high point of the trial came on the day when Elizabeth Ann Walker was scheduled to testify as a witness for the prosecution.

COMMENTS

Dr. Hamilton had already been in contact with a number of universities and colleges in the immediate area - Earlier in Exodus I revealed that Dr. George Hamilton (the RE Outbreak series) had been Elza's academic advisor for her freshman year at Raccoon University. Dr. Hamilton's connections with the university were revealed in the RE Outbreak (File 1) scenario "Decisions, Decisions."

worked even harder at her studies - It took a number of years for Elza to earn all of those academic degrees, even given how quickly she earned them. She also did it while doing other things in her later life, as we eventually learn in the Epilogue.
