A computer in the Bio-Mech Lab's lobby.
Omega Ranch computers are a group of in-game computers in Deus Ex: Human Revolution. They are located on the Omega Ranch in Singapore, and can be accessed during the mission Rescuing Megan and Her Team. The e-mails on these computers provide insight into Omega Ranch's history and everyday routine, the treatment of kidnapped Sarif Industries scientists (Megan Reed and others), and the development of the Illuminati biochip that would be partially responsible for the Aug Incident.
This page lists computers of characters who do not directly appear in the game. Other computers on Omega Ranch include Hugh Darrow's computer, Nia Colvin's computer, Declan Faherty's computer and Eric Koss's computer.

rumors[]
From: Bill Hall
To: Jian Tokaru
Man you should hear some of the crazy rumors about this place.
I was down near Katong Plaza in the city during my leave last weekend, checking in on my kids back home at some internet café. Anyway, there were these two locals behind me talking about the ranch. They were going on about that whole VersaLife/WHO bird flu outbreak that wiped out half the country a few years ago or something.
Anyway, all of a sudden they start whispering, saying it was all part of some crazy conspiracy theory by the government to test some new biological warfare weapon. They think it even has something to do with that whole SARS thing 20 years ago.
Apparently the ranch is actually owned by the Chinese, and this is all part of some crazy population control scheme. There's even websites devoted to this crap haha it's like we're the new area-51 or something.

A simple favor[]
From: Dwayne Crosby
To: Lou Morano
Greetings warrior personnel,
I am writing you for the 2nd time this week in hopes of receiving the requested equipment I outlined in my previous correspondence.
An as of yet unidentified saboteur is compromising the integrity of my workstation with his (or her) blatant disregard for morality and common decency. In what is quickly becoming a recurring event, I have returned to my computer only to find it defiled with pornographic images.
These images, depicting humans engaged in gross acts of unnatural copulation with farm animals is both an affront to my senses, and an insult to the time honoured traditions of the aggricultural
industry (not to mention respectable animal husbandry practices).
I ask only that you supply me with access to at least 1 (one) device for electronic motion picture acquisition (ideally with both no roam and low-light recording capabilities) so that I may catch this perveyor of juvenile delinquency in the act.
Your humble charge,
Dwayne Crosby

Test Results: Subject 521[]
From: Raj Mahjibidan
To: JC Ferraris
Hey there. Just finished running the tests you asked for on that asian girl -- Subject 521? Sorry to say it looks like an epic fail. I applied the stimulus pattern exactly as proscribed, and even cross checked it with the Eberhand module, but the BMI you implanted isn't picking up ANY activity in the cortical neurons.
I think you might need to go back to the drawing board on this one.
Urinalysis and Radiation Screening Reminder[]
From: OMEGA_ADMIN
To: OMEGA_ALL
A reminder to all Omega Ranch personnel: Regular radiation and bio-hazard screenings are a requirement of continued employment in the Omega Ranch research facility. Missing a scheduled urinalysis or radiation check-up is grounds for immediate termination. If you feel you have been exposed to radioactive or other hazardous materials in the course of your duties, contact your radiation safety officer immediately. Work safe, work smart, your future depends on it.

Concerning Chairs[]
From: Tariq Mustapha
To: OMEGA_ALL
We are aware of the shortage of lab supplies, in particular chairs and stools. We have a new shipment coming in soon, and will keep you all updated. in the meantime, please refrain from using expensive lab equipment as a makeshift sitting apparatus. If you must insist on using a non-sanctioned sitting apparatus, please consider the tensile strength of materials present in the object in question in comparison to your own mass volumetric density.
In other words, stop breaking shit with your fat asses.

Simply unbelievable[]
From: Raymond Jorian
To: Christine Cantrella
Mr. D -- These new samples are simply amazing. The fragments are definitely human, but present some peculiar, albeit, tacit particularities. But I have to say, this could be it, this could be the break we were waiting for!
I've started to work on it, and so far, fragmentation and ligation were not an issue. Fragments were efficiently amplified and vector insertion reacted as expected to DNA ligase.
I'm having problems with transfection, though. It's to be expected, and is probably linked to the aforementioned singularities. Nothing a bit of work and tests can't fix.
If we make it... if the cells react as planned and we can properly screen and get proper sequencing... it could remove every obstacle we've faced so far. Even better, we could end up with subjects impervious to blood-stream rejection. This goes far beyond simple augmentation rejection. It could modify augmentation technology as we know it. I think you should inform Mr. Page immediately!
I hope you forgive my impetuosity, but I started naming the subjects with the names of the apostles. I believe it's befitting, considering the underlying subject and the importance of this leap forward.
God, this is so exciting.
Raymond
URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED[]
From: 419@scowlingmask.ni
To: Christine Cantrella
Attention: The President/CEO
Dear Sir,
Confidential Business Proposal
Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Nigerian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have the privilege to request for your assistance to transfer the sum of 47,500,000.00 (forty seven million, five hundred thousand credits) into your accounts. The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract, executed commissioned and paid for about five years (5) ago by a foreign contractor. This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense account at The Central Bank Of Nigeria Apex Bank.
We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance. The total sum will be shared as follows: 70% for us, 25% for you an5% for local and international expenses incident to the transfer.
The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am an accountant with the Nigerian National Transhumanism Corporation (NNTC). If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents:
(a) your banker’s name, telephone, account and fax numbers.
(b) your private telephone and fax numbers – for confidentiality and easy communication.
(c) your letter-headed paper stamped and signed
Alternatively we will furnish you with the text of what to type into your letter-headed paper, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we require of you. The business will take us thirty (30) working days to accomplish.
Please reply urgently.

Apparently Jorian and his team were finally able to make a bit of progress in the reproduction of higher tolerance DNA.
From what I've heard, they got access to samples that allowed them to make an incredible leap forward. It's not only about dealing to the rejection syndrome anymore, it's about nullifying it completely.
Shouldn't have made that "Nano-tech bullshit" bet with him. I've got a feeling you'll end up owing someone 200 bucks :P

Trivia[]
- Safety reminders from OMEGA_ADMIN ("A reminder to all Omega Ranch personnel...", "Due to the high toxicity..." and others) are references to the game Half-Life. They are transcripts of announcements from the Black Mesa Announcement System heard during the opening tram sequence, with "Black Mesa" replaced by "Omega Ranch".
- In the e-mail, The joke will be on YOU!, the Omega Ranch employee Dwayne Crosby states that his stapler has been taken by Jim. In another e-mail, the employee Mark Solanski states that he "can't wait to see the look on [Dwayne]'s face when he sees what I did with his stapler". The name Dwayne is a reference to the character from The Office, Dwight. The second reference is to the fact that Dwight on The Office is pranked by a man named Jim, who once encased Dwight's stapler in jello.
- The e-mail Test Results: Subject 521 discusses a young asian girl and how tests performed on her didn't show "any activity in the cortical neurons". This may be a reference to the well known line from the TV show Firefly, "We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural response".
