Those born within this Zone are pleasant. Science is preferred to art. The underbelly of this parallel is much seedier than that of Zone Zero, however less organized despite being harder to catch. It is advised that Travel is done in pairs.

Known as Jim’s folly, Zone 2 is left standing for the purpose of observation only. Severely altered in 1974 following a series of unsolved murders that resulted in worldwide response, most major cities have ceased to exist. Amhaven is one of few standing cities, though desolate like the rest. Nature works to reclaim the land. Most buildings are experiencing heavy overgrowth. A stunted population uses this to their advantage. Technology is very rare, and therefore of high value. Lawless, Zone 2 is considered highly dangerous for Travel. There is no public safety effort. Travel at your own risk. CHQS employees hired in Zone 2 are offered safe living quarters on property, in the company’s underground facilities.

There have been ungodly scientific advances that have only served to better humanity as a whole. Generations within Amstelland today have never known anything but tranquility. This, above all else, must be maintained while traveling in Zone 3.
