The Corruption

The Corruption is a parasitic like mutation of The Biomass, to any newcomers, it may just look like red biomass, however its means of infection, creatures and origin are much diffferent from that of the Biomass.

# Origin

> The first documented cases of this corruption (Or COR, its shortened name) mainly came from families, who stated that one of them had gone out, and had seemingly come back enraged, attacking anyone who came into their sight, this stage is referred to as COR-1, it’s believed a parasite that lives in COR infected grass enters a humans internals and begins corrupting the mind of its host.

# COR Levels

So far only 3 levels of COR have been documented, those being COR-I: Incubation, COR-II: Transmutation and COR-III: Drone.

# COR Levels In Depth

COR-I sees the host infected by a parasite (Dubbed COR-0) and going back to the last location it was at and attacking anyone in sight. Testing has revealed that the host is still alive in this stage and still sentient, however has no control over its body, only being able to see through its eyes, though it has been noted some have been able to fight back the parasite for upwards of 3 minutes before losing themselves to the infection.

COR-II sees the body go limp, most of the time laying against a wall, during this process a material with a similar texture to grass is seen growing around the body, the material is able to be removed, but will cause bleeding, this material seems to replace skin, your best option in this stage is to simply shoot the host in the head, as that kills the parasite, the body should disposed of as soon as possible as the material has been seen “melting” to the floor.

COR-III is where The Corruption takes full control over the body, the frontal areas of the skull are visible in this stage, with two glowing eyes being visible and teeth being as sharp as a razor blade, Some cases show the material now dubbed “Crass” not appearing on the wrist, but skin still disappearing, only leaving bone, its not known why this happens but its believed it may be a side affect of malnutrition.

# COR Side Forms

The only two known COR Side Forms are Infected Seals (COR-S) and Infected Drones (COR-D), along with the discovery of COR-D it was discovered that COR has the ability to tamper with machinery as well as grow on it, the first documented case of COR-S and COR-D we’re in a SEAL Attack on a COR Hive First they sent a Var B Seal, when it didnt comeback they sent a team along with a drone, when the drone didnt come back, the team investigated, the drone was nowhere to be seen however the Var B was seen guarding the gate alongside two COR-3s, The Var B’s pilot was seemingly crushed into the torso of the suit, its head being replaced by a large yellow eye, the right arm had been pushed out, being held by what has been called C-Bone (Corrupted Bone), it was noted that this arm was twitching, seemingly still able to move, the other arm was still connected to the suit, but it had grown a claw on the arm and a large spike on the shoulder. It was also seen that a head had been pushed through the torso plates, with one singular yellow eye.

# Cure

As of now there is no cure for COR, your best option is either containing them and contacting someone or killing them if possible.

# COR's Abilities

Currently COR has two known abilities, being able to tamper with machinery and being able to corrupt almost anything, though scientist say that this “corruption” is just

Crass absorbing the material and then replicating it in itself.
