Omega Ranch

The Omega Ranch is a research facility in Singapore and a location in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution
In 2008 the ranch begins to take shape with support from the United Nations and several major biotech companies, including Versalife. Leading the development, the World Health Organization (WHO) begins construction on the new centre that will pave the way for research into viral genetics and biological sciences.

The ranch is a huge site with high security, multiple laboratories with different research areas, support facilities and a residential complex. In 2009, the Disease Control Initiative opened the door to doctors from around the world. The structure, however, is subject to technical problems, difficulty in obtaining the material and lack of funds. The pressure on men grew up as the WHO when in 2018 a terrible accident happened. A leak in a containment barrier caused the spread of a modified variant of the H5N1 virus. Malaysia is hit by the epidemic and the dead are dozens of thousands. In 2021 Hugh Darrow acquires the property through a subsidiary.

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 convinced 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.

Easter Eggs
On the top floor of the Main Facility, In office G-36, there is Dwayne Crosby's computer. The second email on his computer is about a prank that has been pulled on him. At the end of the email there is a P.S that reads " I am still awaiting the return of my stapler ( I know you have it JIM). The name Dwayne is a homage the the character from The Office, Dwight. The second homage is to the fact that Dwight on The Office is pranked by a man named Jim, who once encased Dwight's stapler in jello.

You can find Final Fantasy XXVII posters at omega ranch team quarters in the beginning.

There are emails from OMEGA_ADMIN to OMEGA_ALL on some of the computers that contain almost exact transcripts of parts of the announcer speech to Gordon Freeman during the automated train intro of Half-Life. e.g.: "Due to the high toxicity of materials routinely handled in the compound, no smoking, eating, or drinking is permitted outside of designated safety zones."
