Hello. If you're reading this, you've stumbled upon something that's extremely classified and would normally get you shot immediately. But, since i'm so nice, you get a personal pardon from me seeing as you'll learn what happened to all of us later. I have a saved copy of the article, and some information on The Crimson Eden cult in the next. The third tab will have the answers to your questions and some of the teams remaining notes.
I also may have left some of Jones work in there, so you're going to have to piece together the bits because I have more important work to do and I don't need someone contacting me.

ADF-5.
File #: ADF-5
Danger Class: Ira
Obscurity Class: Octa
Current Whereabouts: The United States Of America, State Of Georgia, located in the outskirts of Atlanta. The forest has been zoned off from any intruders and by an extent animals and townspeople.
The forest is about 1 kilometre measured in a square from the centre point
ADF-5 was discovered on January 12, 2014.
Information on the discovery can be found below.
Description:
ADF-5 is a red maple forest consisting of up to multiple anomalous instances of ADF-5a, ADF-5b, ADF-5c, and ADF-5d. The forest has been identified as a collage of multiple types of forest life, including Acer Rubrum, Live Oak, etc.
ADF-5 was discovered after a hired group of scientists were sent to check out a so-called ''flesh forest'' in the United States. Two townsfolk, a farmer and a truck driver who frequented the site, came and reported the forest to a 4-Chan post after coming in contact with an ADR operative. The two townsfolk had mentioned something about the town being on lockdown all the time, and that the government was issuing out Non-Disclosure Agreements ''like it was just another Tuesday.''
Investigation regarding this matter is prohibited, and a cover story has been fabricated.
Rogue agents who violate these instructions will be marked for death and hunted down. [SEE BELOW FOR ADDENDUM 1!]
Information on the anomalous can be found below.
ADF-5a.
Description - ADF-5a: ADF-5a ranges from 25-30ft tall, and bears a major resemblance to an Acer Rubrum. While "normal" leaves are present on all instances of ADF-5a, some of the tree's leaves have been observed to grow out as different, biologically accurate, human organs (eg. intestines, muscles, tendons). These organs may sometimes react (ie. a heart beats or a stomach produces acid.) or start to shift and move. The tree sap is similar to hydrochloric acid, instantly corroding skin on touch.
Acer Rubrums are the only instance covered, as all trees share the exact same anomalous properties, and it would be a waste of time to map everything out.
A comprehensive list of the possible organs, provided by Doctor Klaus :
| LIST OF ORGANS |
|---|
| Human heart |
| Human stomach |
| Human pancreas |
| Human brain (PARTIALLY INTACT) |
| Human smaller and larger intestines |
| Human kidneys |
| Human liver |
| Human lungs |
| Human genitalia (Unisex) |
ADF-5a is also able to bear fruit, dubbed the '' flesh fruit '' by most team members. This fruit is very similar to an apple, and tastes the same. Testing conducted has proved that the fruit is highly addictive, and has been barred from further use.
Consequences are further elaborated below. [ADDENDUM 1]
ADF-5b, with a technical diagram.
Description - ADF-5b: ADF-5b is a human eyeball with the optical nerve rooted into the ground. The plant itself can move on its own, first unrooting and transporting itself across a flat surface until it settles down once more. I theorize that the plant can harness wind currents to move itself across large distances. ADF-5b is also the seed of ADF-5a, in which the current roots would grow and spread into the tree. Some team members have noticed that the eyeball will change colour, specifically between the colours white, grey, black, and red.
White is one of the lesser common ones, and has been spotted only three times. Jones theorized that the eyeball turns white when it's travelling, seeing as he was the one who saw it gliding in the air one time.
Grey is when ADF-5b has started to finally settle down, and is the most common out of the four.
Black is the second most common, and is when ADF-5b is growing into ADF-5a.
Red is the rarest, and has been spotted once by a now dead recruit. This state is triggered only when a human tries to harm by unrooting it forcefully. The plant, upon the iris turning red, will begin to bleed similarly to vitreous hemorrhage. The eyeball will begin to spout the same corrosive sap of ADF-5a until said person is dead and begins to decompose, or when the person is no longer in range.
ADF-5b reproduces when an organ of ADF-5a falls off and nearby ADF-5b instances are in range. The nearby instances will, upon seeing said organ, use their roots to grab the organ and dig it into the soil to ''consume'' it. The ADF-5b anomaly in this scenario would then make an egg pop out of the soil as if nothing happened. On a funnier note, ADF-5b instances will brawl over organs by smashing into each others eyeball.
ADF-5b is not only limited to ADF-5a, but also includes instance of ADF-5c, ADF-5d, and ADF-5e. ADF-5a just happens to be the only documented case.
ADF-5c, Cherokee Rose.
Description - ADF-5c: ADF-5c consists of a large array of flowers which are present in Atlanta. While most flowers look similar to their regular counterpart, with obvious differences like red petals and a puddle of "blood" surrounding the base of the stem, other flowers of different species are shown to be more prone to mutations.
A comprehensive list of all the documented mutations of ADF-5c, provided by Doctor Jones:
| LIST OF MUTATIONS |
|---|
| Red petals. |
| Puddle of blood around the base of the stem. |
| Teeth in the receptacle. |
| Human tissue surrounding the stem. |
| Human artery replacing the stem. |
| Cerebrospinal fluid mixed with blood puddles. |
| Bone growing out of the soil. |
A comprehensive list of the flowers more prone to mutation, provided by Doctor Jones:
| LIST OF FLOWERS |
|---|
| Azaleas |
| Cherokee Rose |
| Zinnias |
| Gerbera Daisy |
| Salvia |
Reminder that the flowers are only perfect imitations, and have their own DNA signatures different from their counterparts.
ADF-5d, White-tailed Deer.
Description - ADF-5d: ADF-5d consists of multiple types of animals local to the United States with some major disfigurations and mutations. Some mutations may include flesh clumps growing in and on the skin, or extra organs growing in random spots. While most animals seemingly appear to be in no pain, rarer exceptions include Brown Thrashers and White-Tailed Deer. These animals, while having normal tendencies, seemingly originate from the forest.
A comprehensive list of all the documented mutations of ADF-5d, provided by Doctor Ferner:
| LIST OF MUTATIONS |
|---|
| Red iris |
| Whites in the eye bleeding |
| Extra minerals in blood. |
| Extra tissue growing in clumps on animal. (Interior and Exterior) |
| Multiple extra organs growing on animal. |
| Disfigurations. (Bone cutting through skin, Limbs in the wrong place, etc.) |
A comprehensive list of all the documented animals affected by ADF-5d, provided by Doctor Ferner:
| LIST OF ANIMALS |
|---|
| White-tailed Deer. |
| Black Bear. |
| Brown Thrasher |
| Red Foxes |
| Squirrels (Undefined) |
| Beavers (Undefined) |

Addendum 1: Flesh Fruit
Yeah.
Jones was kinda messed up in the head, like, really. I'm not going to elaborate further, but it was sick to watch him do all that stuff. If you don't know what i'm talking about, you can see below. He came back to his senses after, thankfully.

NOTE FROM DOCTOR JONES MCARBINE TO HIS TEAM!
Hello, as some of you may know, we are experiencing a large breach in some of our projects secrecy after a certain someone ran off with his group to make an extra buck. Lichen decided to take a bit of ADF-5a's fruit into a grocery store and starting trying to make a deal with the store owner by passing the fruit off as as some apples, all so they could restock in the name of ''good will.''
I want Lichen's head on my desk by the end of the week, or else your going with him.

Recovered log from Doctor Klaus Rikowski on routine patrol.
Recently, I stumbled upon someone, or something, that looked like an ordinary person. They had the same shape and stock, but there was something… off.
They walked up to me and started trying to ask me for directions, but their voice sounded off. It was a real reality check of what this place is, and now I know to bring others on my patrols.
I decided to take them back, and we interrogated them (SEE [DATA EXPUNGED]) for a little bit. We put them into an ADR Containment Facility, and started studying them.
The most notable features of this person was their bleeding eyes, multiple fleshy patches of skin, and some eerie movement patterns as if they had dislocated their joints.
One researcher, Doctor Ferner, decided to test how they would react upon being put into a radius of multiple different instances of ADF-5 anomalies. Results below:
ADF-5a : The person (referred now as The Subject) was moved and put near an ADF-5a instance around the centre of the forest.
They immediately to twitch impulsively, but nothing else was reported.
ADF-5b : The Subject was put near an instance of ADF-5b.
Immediately, both of them started staring for about 10 minutes until The Subject snapped out of it and started to have no recollection of what just happened.
ADF-5c : No effect, just a flower.
ADF-5d : Upon coming in contact with an instance of ADF-5d, The Subject would start to convulse and lose motor function

Interview #7 - Michael Alabaster, Local Resident.
BEGIN
Doctor Jones - “Alright Mr. Alabaster, tell me what you know about the forest.”
Michael Alabaster - “It’s been here for as long as I can remember. People tried going in for dares and crap… like me.”
Doctor Jones - “Ok, but what do you know about the forest.”
Michael Alabaster - “Okay, err- it’s fleshy and gross and disgusting-”
Doctor Jones - “This we know, anything else?”
Michael Alabaster - “One man's opinion, but, I think there's a cult in there.”
Doctor Jones - “A cult?”
Michael Alabaster - “Yeah, people used to come into the forest with backpacks and tents like it was some sort of camping trip. I heard voices coming from there every night, and smoke up in the distance. It only stopped when you guys showed up with your investigation team and eventually uploaded it onto this database, I think.”
Doctor Jones - “Interesting. Is that all?”
Michael Alabaster - “Yeah, yeah.”
Doctor Jones - “Alright, thank you for making this incredibly short for me.”
Michael Alabaster - “Really wanna go to sleep, ey?”
Doctor Jones - “… Yeah.”
Michael Alabaster - “I feel you, man.”

Interview #12 - Asher Richmond, Local Painter.
BEGIN
Doctor Klaus - "Okay, what do you know about the red maple forest near your place?"
Asher Richmond- "The weird fleshy one? It's actually been a tourist destination funny enough. People charge admission fees to enter the place, 18+ of course since you don't want a child seeing that. They still try sneaking in though."
Doctor Klaus - "That's why we set up chicken wire. Continue."
Asher Richmond - "Once you people came and claimed you were ADR, that's when everything just kinda stopped. Kids didn't wanna get shot by you guys, but some still tried."
Doctor Klaus - "Do you know anything about a… cult or sorts?"
Asher Richmond - "Matter of fact I do. People come in and out over days and weeks. Some come out much earlier and look like they're on a deathbed and others looked like they had a feast. I don't know if they're cannibals or anything but I think it's possible."
Doctor Klaus - "Is that all?"
Asher Richmond- "Yeah, I think."
Doctor Klaus - "Very well, thank you for your time. This has proved very informative."
END
Interview #15 - ???, Cultist.
BEGIN
Doctor Klaus - "Alright, who are you?"
??? - "I ain't telling!"
Doctor Klaus - "Well then, tell us the so called '' information '' that you hold.
??? - "I was apart of a cult, okay? I ran from 'em to save my own skin because I knew they were gonna kill me!"
Doctor Klaus - "Alright, whats the information?"
??? - "Uh, well- it's based on the cults whole hierarchy."
Doctor Klaus - "Hierarchy?"
??? - "Yeah! We put most of the anomalies head first, and everyone else would just follow them. Living gods basically."
Doctor Klaus - "Not bad. . go on."
??? - "The cult is extremely secretive, but relies on recruitment. If you want to take them out, take out their recruitable population?"
Doctor Klaus - "Surprisingly informative, is that all?"
??? - "Errr… yes?"
Doctor Klaus - "Very well, thank you for your time.
??? - "Can I leave?"
Doctor Klaus - ". . you can say that."
??? - "Wha- WAIT WAIT WAIT!"
BANG!
