38,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_514","At the emperor's behest, we studied Omega intensely and in secret. Nigh everything about it was beyond the comprehension of our sciences, and it instilled us with fear and awe of what lies beyond the skies."
39,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_515","But then came a momentous discovery: Omega was ever so slowly repairing itself by absorbing the surrounding aether!"
40,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_516","There we found a common ground with aetherochemistry, and set about expediting Omega's repairs by infusing it with aether. In the course of observing the process, we attained many cues that gave rise to myriad new techniques."
41,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_517","And then, within my generation, we succeeded in awakening that which had long lain dormant: Omega's behavioral systems, or its consciousness, if you will."
42,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_518","While its functions are yet limited, it is fully capable of communication. It has even begun forging for itself a face, as if seeking to bridge the gap between us."

47,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_532","The expansion effort itself, however, has encountered unexpected resistance. Rather than submit, the beast clans of these southern lands have begun performing rituals to call forth their tribal deities."
48,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_533","One such “god” is proving particularly troublesome─the resurrected form of the wyrm Bahamut."

52,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_537","At present, the emperor leads his Nightfall Company in an inexorable advance across the continent, and the battle shifts in our favor even as the crystal supplies of our enemies continue to dwindle.

55,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_541","The weapon is ancient, a relic from beyond the stars that was discovered around the time of our first emperor's passing. Research into Omega's properties was responsible for incredible leaps in the field of aetherochemistry."
56,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_542","Four hundred years ago, however, towards the end of Allag's technological revolution, this research was deemed complete. Omega was subsequently placed in temporal stasis."
57,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_543","The truth of the matter was not that there was naught left to learn, rather that we had abandoned our efforts to fully comprehend Omega's functions."
58,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_544","We had gleaned much from the relic, and understood many of its basic operations, but we were never <Emphasis>permitted</Emphasis> to analyze its internal structure or determine the identity of its creators. All attempts to gain full control of the machine appear to have failed."
59,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_545","And now, centuries later, we have rediscovered how completely the true power of Omega exceeds our wildest imaginings."
60,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_546","Even with its stasis systems activated, Omega retained a measure of autonomy. Deprived of mobility, the weapon continued to scan the world around it, searching for a threat to engage."
61,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_547","It was at the time of Bahamut's resurrection when Omega emitted a unique signal─a signal which appeared to indicate the acquisition of a target─and we first discovered that the machine had retained some degree of awareness."
62,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_548","Records were consulted, and we concluded that Omega was more than a match for the god-wyrm's strength. And if the weapon had already identified Bahamut as a priority threat, then it would be a simple matter to command it to capture the eikon..."
63,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_549","The risk was deemed acceptable, and thus we executed the Omega Enterpise."
64,"TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_550","As predicted, Omega triumphed over its prey.

88 84 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_560 <blip> I, Cid Garlond, am making this report to record the latest─and most likely last─expedition into the rift dimension created by Omega.
89 85 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_561 During our battle with this self-evolving entity, we learned certain facts concerning its nature and origin.
90 86 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_562 Omega is a highly advanced weapon that was constructed on a faraway star, the name of which seems problematic to express in any language of Hydaelyn. For the sake of simplicity, I will refer to it as Omega's home world.
91 87 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_563 This home world was involved in a conflict with another planet─a place referred to as the “Dragonstar.” Omega had been deployed to the front lines of this war to engage Midgardsormr, but the wyrm fled into the emptiness beyond the skies.
92 88 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_564 Omega gave chase, and the pursuit continued across unimaginable distances. Over the course of this journey, the machine sustained significant damage, which resulted in the loss of its home world's coordinates.
93 89 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_565 Unperturbed, Omega continued its relentless hunt, only to sense the sudden disappearance of Midgardsormr's presence. It eventually arrived at the wyrm's last recorded position, on the surface of a planet. Our planet.
94 90 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_566 The current theory is that after Midgardsormr entered into his bargain with Hydaelyn, the transformation so altered his aetheric signature that it confused Omega's sensors.
95 91 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_567 When the machine landed and conducted a scan, the wyrm no longer registered as a target. And so, deprived of its primary objective, Omega then entered a dormant state to facilitate its self-repair functions.
96 92 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_568 History tells us that the weapon awoke several times over the intervening centuries, but not until now has it made such an extensive effort to acquire a new target...
97 93 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_569 The revelations presented in this report are based upon Omega's own records, and we have little reason to doubt their veracity.
98 94 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_570 Indeed, our interactions with Omega have enlightened us to the possible existence of civilizations beyond the stars.
99 95 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_571 But that is a discussion for another time. This report is concerned only with our battles with Omega, and the mystery of the weapon itself.
100 96 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_580 <blip> An account of our experiences in the rift would not be complete without mention of Alpha, an entity who fought as our ally despite being one of Omega's “constructs.”
101 97 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_581 This capability for generating artificial life-forms was, originally, designed purely as a means by which Omega could upgrade its own functions and expand its arsenal.
102 98 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_582 As such, the machine could not fully recreate a subject's inner self─only its physical components─and the generation of a truly powerful entity required a substantial commitment in time and energy.
103 99 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_583 Thus did Omega bring forth its “interdimensional rift”─a custom-made reality where it could compare the battle proficiency of various prototypes, and select promising candidates to develop into fully fledged test subjects.
104 100 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_584 Alpha, however, was an exception. The recreation of a “weakling” hero, he was Omega's first experiment, and the only construct to reach what might be considered a state of completion.
105 101 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_585 We have no way of knowing who Alpha's template was. Omega chose his subjects from history, from works of fiction...even from otherworldly reflections of our reality.
106 102 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_586 Alpha shares many features with a chocobo, but he is more than a mere beast. Mayhap those wondrous tools he carries are a hint to his origin, but we may never uncover the truth.
107 103 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_587 On a personal note, I would place less importance on where he's from, and more on where he intends to go. For better or worse, he belongs to our world now.
108 104 TEXT_REGGYR3OMEGATERMINAL_00424_OMEGATERMINAL_000_588 As Alpha travels the land, the soul which has blossomed within him─the soul which his creator was unable to provide─will continue to unfurl. And the sum of his experiences will become the very answer that Omega created him to find.
