OB - 002

Anomaly ID: OB-002

Threat Level: SUBSTANTIAL 

Confinement Details: OB-002 area includes an airtight reinforced chamber filled with carbon dioxide, three decontamination chambers, and a testing chamber. A level A hazmat suit, and 24-hour post-interaction quarantine and testing are mandatory for all personnel entering containment area. Should containment be breached the balst door will automatically seal and the area pumped with chemical agent ████. An immediate deployment team of SOU 3 is required in order to completely sweep the area to make sure that no entities are present.

Description: OB-002-1 are 2 foot tall, yellow and orange plants with green leaves arising from the bottom. OB-002-1 blooms only when oxygen is present. When OB-002-1 blossoms, it releases parasitic spores that can infect animals, including humans.
The infected will proceed to go through 3 distinct stages of infection within the course of 24 hours.

• Stage 1: The parasite attacks the brain once infected and attempts to take over. Once completely infected the parasite takes over all major bodily functions, infected are then to be reffered to as ET-002-2. So far the complete infection rates is 100%.
  
  

• Stage 2: The parasite then continues to grow in the brain and eventually breaks through the skin, most notably the eye socket. Due to the infection breaking through the eye socket. The infected's vision begins to diminish. It is at this point that the entity develops echolocation through croaking sounds.
  
  

• Stage 3: During this stage the prolonged exposure to the parasite has resulted in the growth of the parasite all over the face and body. As a result, the infected is completely blind and relies solely on echolocation to get around. What used to be a croaking noise has evolved into a more precise rapid clicking noise.
  
  

Addendum 002-1: It is noted that some of the infected at stage 2 will lie down or stay in one spot at which higher levels of contamination bind it to the ground and walls.

Addendum 002-2: Some infected have been known to have additional mutations. Most notably where during an investigation of an infected town, a huge infected fully covered in 002 withstood multiple high caliber rounds and a direct hit from an AT-4 until it was brought down by a hellfire missile.
