The Southern Reach is dedicated to intellectual study and environmental protection. Our top priority is security and information.
We are aware of the abnormalities detected in the Midwestern region of the United States of America. We are in the process of investigating the source and extent of this phenomenon, which we have designated as the Organized Heteromorphic Irregularity Observation (OHIO). We are currently working to contain the anomalous unit of OHIO and determine to which degree it is comparable to Area X.
The threat level of interaction with OHIO is currently indeterminable. We do not advise any travel to OHIO, nor do we endorse any attempt at escape from OHIO. In general, interaction with OHIO is ill-advised.
Please be aware that we are still investigating any and all anomalies within the borders of OHIO. We do not know the full danger capabilities of OHIO, but we can confidently say that OHIO is not safe– physically, psychically, or spiritually. Please refrain from thinking too intensely or too often about OHIO, as this may have negative effects on the human psyche.
You have never been to OHIO.
You do not know anyone from OHIO.
You can think of no reason to go to OHIO.
You have no proof of the existence of OHIO.
You have no reason to believe in the existence of OHIO.
On behalf of all personnel employed by the Southern Reach, we thank you for your patience and caution in this investigation. We will share more information as it is made available to us.
