The Infection

**ANOMALY NUMBER**: 51

**The Infection** is a strange disease discovered by Wilford Inc.

## Appearance

Victims of **The Infection** take a distorted and unrecognizable appearance, every specimen is different, however they bare the same general features: Deformation and completely asymmetrical features, entirely made out of flesh of different types, and body parts randomly located. Results of specimens are completely random. Some specimens have claws and wings, feathers and scales, tentacles and slime, while others may be attached to the ground.

## Sighting

The first Infection specimen was encountered on September 27, 2020. A man only known as Todd Saunders was walking on the quiet streets of his town, walking past graffiti, utility poles, street lamps and trash cans. Soon, he noticed he had a small cough and sweats. He passed it as a fever and decided to rest home. Soon however Todd began to notice chest pain, nausea and blurry vision. He became very weak, and soon had a painful experience going from human to abomination of flesh. With Todd gone, the fleshy specimen wandered out of the house, tearing the door off with incredible strength. Soon, it's first target was a young woman named Pamela Mathis. Fortunatly she saw the beast going after her, but when she attempted escape it chased her with immense speed and soon infected her. Eventually the small town was filled with the infected flesh balls and Wilford Inc went after it. It captured all specimens and demolished the city and burned any item in it to prevent another outbreak.

### Origins

**The Infection** virus was a highly evolved virus that was created unknowingly by a scientist named Jeffrey Morlock. It infected the lab and soon escaped. The lab now has been demolished and the items have been incinerated, while the specimens are also contained.

## Abilities

Abilities of victims vary. But every specimen has these abilities

* **Enhanced Strength** - Every specimen has enhanced strength, some being able to rip down doors while others and destroy entire buildings.

* **Adaption** - Specimens can adapt to different environments if they are habitable.
* **Enhanced Speed** - Specimens have unusual speed, and can go very fast.

## Behavior

Specimens are non-sentient and non-spient beings that only have one instinct: to survive and infect. They have hostile and aggressive behavior, and are willing to infect just about anything. The virus itself is sentient and sapient and controls specimens.
