VA-2 is an area of spatial anomaly characterized by a profound absence of all sound within its perimeter. This zone, variable in size, nullifies all acoustic waves, including human speech, mechanical noise, and ambient sounds.
Attempts to record or measure the silence consistently fail, as all audio equipment ceases to function upon entering the zone. Entities and personnel report disorientation and psychological distress after prolonged exposure.
Field agents investigating unexplained radio silence in a remote location discovered the anomaly. All communication devices failed within a 50-meter radius. Personnel experienced acute anxiety and disconnection from their senses.
Extended exposure to VA-2 resulted in hallucinations, cognitive dissonance, and temporal disorientation in subjects. Symptoms persisted for several days post-exposure despite removal from the zone.
The origin of VA-2 remains unknown. Some theories suggest it is a spatial rift or an artifact of failed containment. Further research ongoing.
