Thanks to Victor, Hyze and Tactical Nuke and a special thanks to Vizlox for making the Scenario 1 image block possible.
Also, thanks to Old Man Jenkins' Idea Generator for giving me the inspiration to make this article.

I pronounce "pineapples" like I do "Minneapolis."
I've also made sure that all the images used in this article are CC compliant in case anyone's concerned cough Vizlox cough.
The first one is from CDC but is in public domain: https://sco.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Skin_ulcer_due_to_leishmaniasis,_hand_of_Central_American_adult_3MG0037_lores.jpg
The second one is from Wikipedia Commons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Necrotizing_fasciitis_left_leg.JPEG
And the third one is also from Wikipedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Necrotizing_fasciitis_left_leg_debridement.JPEG

A very well written execution and solid concept behind this entry, I am also a fan of medically themed RPCs and this one isn't the exception. I am quite pleased with the results, however some minor issues I feel the need to point out for the betterment of this already outstanding article:
1- Hemoptysis doesn't need to be capitalized, as it is a symptom and not a clinical entity per se.
2- As i told you before, neoplasia is an umbrella term meaning new tissue formation, used to designate cancerous tissue growth so it is kind of redundant to use neoplasia and osteosarcoma on the same sentence referring to them as different entities. My suggestion is to remove one of the terms, or just rewording it to "Continued progression of connective tissue neoplasms" since this way you cover other cancerous growths derived from connective tissue (which bone tissue is classified as).
3- The term necrosis is well used here, I would just add "extensive" before it.
Aside from these minor issues, this is an entry worth of the first 100 article spots.
What a fun read, the images really make this article pop. Good job on keeping me interested with them. An article done right.

A bit too shocking pictures for my taste, but aside from that the body horror is very well delivered in your writing. I like this entry, you can clearly see the work you put into it.
Necrotizing steam makes for a quite horrifying piece, good job on this one. Though I don't see why the third image would have to be partially redacted? The first two seem "gory" enough and yet are not redacted in any way.
Great execution on this one.
It’s a fairly basic concept brought down by a lack of proofreading. And remove the addendum about weaponization. It’s both unprecedented and a dumb idea in-universe.
Uneven but overall, not bad. Particularly enjoyed the attention to detail paid in the containing section.
Such is life in the Soviet Union
Very detailed, I like it.
Tone and wording was fine and pleasant to the eyes. It’s one of those pretty articles, the ones that are very nice to even just look at, but maybe that’s just due to the NuCorp theme, which is very good looking. Either way, my main gripes are with the anomaly itself.
While the horror is delivered (and being body horror it’s a favourite for me) it strikes me as a love child of SCP-661, zombies and Dead Space Necromorphs; not saying it’s a bad thing, it’s good to be inspired, but the whole skin itching thing just made me go “am I reading 661?” and that’s no bueno.
3/5, but hey, for an article this short, it ain’t that bad.
