Omega Ranch

The Omega Ranch is a research facility in Singapore. Some time prior to 2027 it was known as the Disease Control Initiative. The facility is owned by Hugh Darrow.

Background
After his second visit to Hengsha, Adam Jensen stows away in a cryo pod aboard a XNG Shipping Company vessel. Later, he wakes up in an unfamiliar locale, revealed to be the Omega Ranch biotech labs in Singapore.

It is revealed that this is the place where the Sarif Industries scientists were brought, after the attack by the Tyrants six months earlier. Here, they were forced to work for the Illuminati, to create a new type of biochip, based on Megan Reed's research, which would limit the abilities of mechanically augmented people. The biochip was mass-produced by Tai Yong Medical, and distributed through the LIMB clinics worldwide, after people began to experience glitches in functionality of their enhancements.

However, Hugh Darrow had other plans for the biochip, having seen how divided humanity had become since the introduction of augmentations. He conviced Dr Reed to make specific modifications that would prevent the Illuminati from using their shut-down signal. In reality, Darrow's alterations caused the augmented people to experience horrible hallucinations, driving them mad. It was his way of showing the world that the augmentations are dangerous as they are now, and that humankind's evolution should continue without them.
