Thorn Infestation:
The Thorn Infestation became a noticeable problem in around 2012. Believed to be a Tiberium mutation of a pre-existing thorn plant type, the Thorn Infestation quickly started dominating areas abundant with trees and plant life, most commonly sprouting from small lakes or water pools and making it's way onto land. The Thorn would quickly spread and massively leech resources from it's local areas surroundings, usually in the process choking any attempts for other vegetation to get nutrients or to grow and spread any further, very similar to the effects of Tiberium. It is unknown how exactly a Thorn Infestation sprouts or begins, whether it is a particular plant or form of vegetation is unknown, as Thorn Infestations have emerged from nearly all regions of the globe. This unfortunately makes it difficult to combat or try and contain Thorn Infestations, as they can emerge at any location without warning and the definitive source can not be found. Attempts to burn down Thorn "fields" have only proved moderately successful, whilst the Thorn's themselves proved to be heavily damaged from an inferno, they were able to recover incredibly quickly and also seemed to become more resilient to fire damage in the process. What could be triggering this new Infestation?
