I have messaged Coeur Al'Aran about changing my story to better fit his classifications from his most recent chapter. He returned my message and said that I can keep my original classification the way it is. However I have reused his classifications and used them as a Risk to exposure. I have also updated my previous chapters. Enjoy!

Anomaly 220
NAME: Genie Virus
CLASSIFICATION: A
DESCRIPTION: Bloodborne virus similar in nature to Anomaly 120 (Vampire Virus)
RISK: Mythic
INFORMATION: Anomaly 220 is to be placed in a medical cooler with a biohazard symbol on it. Locked with four different locks alongside a airtight seal. Placed in a four-foot-by-four-foot- by seven-foot room to be cooled at below freezing temperatures.
While similar in nature to Anomaly 120; which turns its host into a mindless bloodied skeleton covered in arteries and veins with a maddening hunger for blood, Anomaly 220 is slightly less in terms of physical mutations while also keeping their intellect. However, despite this, they will still seek out victims to feed on.
Within two hours of infection, the host begins to secrete a mucus-like substance from their pores making them look like a really greasy or moist individual. Within seconds of any individual who comes into contact with this substance via their skin, they fall into a coma where their mind lives a fantasy world where their deepest wish becomes a reality. Hence the name "Genie" based off of the same mythological entity from Vacuoan legends. This allows Anomaly 220 to take their victims to their lair and feed on their blood at their leisure. At average, their victims can last a whole week before expiring.
Within their dream-like state, which ARC Corp is calling their "wish world" the victim is ignorant of their real surroundings and believe their "wish world" is the real thing. When they die in their "wish world" they wake up in the real world where very little time has passed compared to their dream world equivalent. In the event this happens, the host of Anomaly 220 will have to administer their mucus substance on their victims again and the process repeats.
Instead of being infected via a bite like Anomaly 120, Anomaly 220's infection can occur when a normal individual ingests the mucus substance orally. Virus takes 72 hours before infected becomes a new host for the virus.
HISTORY: It was actually Blake Belladonna of ARC CORP Containments Branch in Vale who stumbled upon this Anomaly on her way back from picking up groceries for herself on her day off. Jaune Arc, Head of the branch sought her out when she didn't return home.
After investigating, he found her tied up to a bed with an IV and blood bag hanging right next to her. Alongside her were three other individuals (two pre-teens and an elderly individual who recently expired).
The current host of Anomaly 220 was a former nurse of a local free clinic and was using her medical expertise to keep her victims alive as long as possible. After a struggle, Jaune killed her via stabbing her with a scalpel she tried to use on him.
Whether it was the death of the original host or some other factor, the victims woke up from their coma. Upon being awakened, Blake kept muttering. "So real." "Just like I always dreamed of." No further questions regarding what her wish was. Jaune called the local police anonymously for the victim's location.
Once again, I used supernatural as a reference to two anomalies. The first being 120 for vampires since season one episode 20 is when we are introduced to them. The same with 220 for the same reason.
