At the oil field, Valentine gave Irving's an ultimatum – he knew too much to allow his capture by the BSAA, nor could the BSAA be allowed to track their departure from the oil to the Tricell facility. Over the next day, Irving rigged the oil field with bombs to be set off if the BSAA caught up with them. In the event the pursuit continued, Irving was provided with a Dominant species Plaga egg to inject into his own body.[48] When the BSAA tracked them down at the oil field, Valentine made her escape on a speed-boat, leaving Irving to fight Redfield, Sheva and Captain Josh Stone.[49] Arriving at a cave system,[50] Valentine made her way through the old ruins of the Ndipaya kingdom and towards Tricell's facility, meeting up with Wesker at what was once the palace of the Ndipaya kings, through which they were to gain passage to the coast, where a Tricell tanker was waiting to pick them up. Redfield and Alomar, who were in pursuit of Gionne, also reached this palace.[51] To buy time for Gionne, Wesker and Valentine began fighting the two BSAA agents relentlessly pursuing them across the palace. After seven minutes, Wesker ran out of time, and caught up with Gionne, leaving Valentine behind to deal with them.[52] Realizing the device on her chest was affecting her behavior, the two forced Valentine to the ground and ripped it out. Still weak from the fighting, Valentine stayed behind and urged the two to continue on.[53] she is evil until u remove that device on her chest.
