Aboard the ship you can find dozens and dozens of coffin-like stasis chambers that these poor women are shipped in.Small wonder that one of the detainees you find in the labs begs for you to kill her. The survivors are shipped off to Panchea to interface with Hyron until they inevitably die from the turmoil (it takes about a year for this to happen). Many die halfway through this process and could be considered luckier for it. The compatible ones are placed on an operating table for God knows how long as they have their spines removed and refitted with augmented ones. Those who are incompatible for whatever reason (augmentations are one such factor) are killed or shipped off to the Omega Ranch. Random women are taken off the street, incarcarated in an offshore base for no reason, then sent down to a lab for testing. You get to see all of the consequences of being selected for the Hyron system.The Missing Link DLC adds a ton of this once you get down to the science labs:.Especially when you start reading emails from employees who've been told to pack up and leave in a hurry. Having Adam walk through the pristine but recently evacuated and empty news room of the world's largest media conglomerate, spilt coffee and all, is just plain creepy. While hardly the scariest thing you'll ever encounter in gaming, Adam's initial steps into the Picus building is incredibly unnerving. And in the dissection rooms? All those signs about handling 'subjects' and avoiding contamination, and obviously there's something on the tables, and just as obviously those 'somethings' are not human. None of them activate, but they keep making noises. But, on closer inspection, it turned out to contain hundreds of inactive Boxguards (read: combat robots eight feet high and wide when compacted). The first has a corridor which, at first glance, appeared to be filled with large crates. Two of the scariest areas for some were the room in the FEMA facility immediately preceding Barrett's fight and the dissection rooms in Omega Ranch, both of which embodied Nothing Is Scarier.Sarif even going so far as to cut off Adam's arms and legs just to add more experimental augmentations, along with everything in the company catalog. The emails and conversations that make it clear that David Sarif went far beyond what was medically necessary when rebuilding Adam, replacing almost every organic part of Adam's body into machines.If you fail the minigame, Sarif will be pissed about you 'focusing on the unnecessary' and tell you to bugger off. So much so that he'd only tell you the truth and send e-mails about Adam's past if you actually win a social battle minigame against him. Turns out Sarif, your boss actually knew about this all the time. The experiments mentioned by the former White Helix employee, of which Adam was the only survivor.Even if you know or suspect what Hyron is already, the final fight against Zhao connected to the Hyron hub takes it to a whole new level. Just look at some of the sentences it leaves at the bottom of its official messages, and what it is powered by. What's going on at Omega Ranch, especially seeing the numerous experimental subjects followed by the refrigerated morgue.Meaning that the interment camp is in fact still fully staffed and operational, waiting for the order to come in to start detaining people.]] Their notes state to stay professional because they might have to come back and work with FEMA again. Only Belltower and the Tyrants were pulling out. If they didn't evacuate, they could have easily swept over the city before anybody realized what was happening. it's bad enough to think Oh, Crap! at the notion of facing this massive force, but the true Fridge Horror comes when you realize that nobody in Detroit knew about this place. Going down the elevator, seeing floor after floor of mercenary battalions and Boxguards. The hidden FEMA base in Highland Park.A perfect metaphor for the Transhumanism in Deus Ex, but also incredibly creepy. Adam's spirit then rises from the body, grows angel wings and ascends, before they are burned away, Icarus style causing Adam to plummet to the ground. The dream (or possibly nightmare) Adam has in the trailer, with a group of men in a cathedral during the Renaissance, studying the corpse of a man with dissected arms, who looks exactly like Adam himself.
