Thank you for the death data. We wish to comment.

The Filth is partly made up of a system of roots, similar to those of a plant. These organs are used to anchor a primary position, to transmit nutrients from deep within the soil, and finally, to spread and multiply.

Unlike other destructive forces - flues, fires, and floods - this one does not purge. Filth does not make the world stronger. Everything withers before it.

It is preparing the way for something we cannot comprehend.

Consider the data forwarded. For now, we're not convinced the Filth targets different organisms in substantially different ways. If the date palms are showing a more advanced stage of corruption, it's likely just a matter of severity: the roots of larger plants tend to get entangled in those of the Filth. The Filth uses this system - vascular, tentacular, whatever - to anchor itself before spreading.

Generally though, the Filth initiates the same infection cycle in every organism it comes in contact with. There's really only one notable exception: you.

The white coats even put in a request to have you diced up and analyzed.

Don't worry, it'll probably get denied.

Fine work. We appreciate any Filth-related results we can get.

Early indications are that the Filth takes a particularly vicious interest in vascular plants. We believe this is a kind of competitive survival instinct: the Filth uses a system of organs that are analogous to roots.

We're not quite sure what the Filth roots are feeding on in the soil, but they most certainly are getting their fill.

Continue to gather whatever data you can. A little research never hurt anyone.

Well, that isn't entirely true.

Walkthrough

There is 1 tier to this mission.

Tier 1/1

• Examine the Filth's effects on a standard human subject
  • Infected corpse entwined in Filth at 918,256
• Examine the Filth's effects on flora subject s-14
  • Infected palm tree at 892,235
• Examine the Filth's effects on fauna subject s-31
  • Infected gullt 878,249
  • This is easiest to get after subject x-96. As you come back down the hill from x-96, there is a visible cliff ridge line on your left, starting at 857, 257, that will lead you to this subject
• Examine the Filth's effects on flora subject s-17
  • This is easiest to get to after subject s-31. As you stand at s-31, you will see an arched rock, and a path up it, starting at 861, 231 with a Dead bush at the end.
• Examine the Filth's effects on fauna subject x-96
  • Infected locust at 826,246
