4844TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_501I am a technologist of the Allagan Empire, charged with conducting aetherochemical research. Owing to the classified nature of this information, I am unable to disclose my identity.
4945TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_502Lest you are unfamiliar, aetherochemistry is a wondrous field of science established by none other than the great Emperor Xande, who reigned until some 170 years ago.
5046TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_503In his boundless wisdom, he shone the light of science upon the enigma that was magic, and exploited such discoveries as were made for the betterment of the realm.
5147TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_504Since its inception, aetherochemistry has blessed Allag with unprecedented prosperity. Such prosperity as could be believed to endure for millennia─nay, for eternity.
5248TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_505While Emperor Xande's contribution to the science was immeasurable, we technologists who follow in his footsteps have also done our part for progress.
5349TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_506Our greatest breakthrough came twenty years ago, when we finally succeeded in activating the weapon.
5450TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_507At first, it communicated in some unknown language. As if sensing our confoundment, it began to acquire our tongue. In mere moments, it mastered it. And it called itself Omega.
5551TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_510<blip> <buzz> We first discovered Omega some one hundred years prior.
5652TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_511It was excavated from deep within the earth, where it had lain for veritable eons as though a fossil.
5753TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_512Soil samples collected at the site told a startling tale: Omega originates not from this star.
5854TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_513Yet another source of mystery was its condition. Among the many scars it bore, there were those that could not be explained by its impact with the ground alone.
5955TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_514At 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.
6056TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_515But then came a momentous discovery: Omega was ever so slowly repairing itself by absorbing the surrounding aether!
6157TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_516There 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.
6258TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_517And then, within my generation, we succeeded in awakening that which had long lain dormant: Omega's behavioral systems, or its consciousness, if you will.
6359TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_518While 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.
6460TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_519Truly, Omega is a miracle of technology! Its discovery has advanced our civilization hundreds of years, and given time it will advance it hundreds of years more!
6561TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_520Through our research, the Empire's star will rise to heretofore unimaginable heights. Indeed, I envy the generations to come, who will live to glory in the realm at her zenith. Glory be to Allag! Long may she endure!

6763TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_531Our campaign in the southern continent of Meracydia has succeeded in revitalizing our ailing society, stagnant as it was from long years of peaceful reign.
6864TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_532The 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.
6965TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_533One such “god” is proving particularly troublesome─the resurrected form of the wyrm Bahamut.
7066TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_534Though we dispatched this formidable creature once already, the prayers of its worshipers have returned it to life with a power orders of magnitude greater than before.
7167TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_535We must be thankful, then, for the grand vision of our emperor. In his infinite wisdom, he sees potential value in even the most deadly of foes.
7268TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_536The capture and containment of eikons has proven well within our capabilities, and such will be the fate of Bahamut. We shall imprison this entity along with its faithful, and siphon its energy to fuel our latest technologies.
7369TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_537At 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. If we are to strike at the wyrm god, there will be no better time.
7470TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_538Omega is the key to victory. We will awaken the weapon sealed away in centuries past, and command it to subdue the unsuspecting Bahamut. History shall know this moment as the Omega Enterprise.
7571TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_540<blip> <buzz> The details of the Omega Enterprise will be documented in a separate archive. This recording is concerned with the nature of Omega itself.
7672TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_541The 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.
7773TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_542Four hundred years ago, however, towards the end of Allag's technological revolution, this research was deemed complete. Omega was subsequently placed in temporal stasis.
7874TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_543The 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.
7975TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_544We 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.
8076TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_545And now, centuries later, we have rediscovered how completely the true power of Omega exceeds our wildest imaginings.
8177TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_546Even 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.
8278TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_547It 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.
8379TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_548Records 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...
8480TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_549The risk was deemed acceptable, and thus we executed the Omega Enterprise.
8581TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_550As predicted, Omega triumphed over its prey. We secured Bahamut, and eventually succeeded in returning the weapon to it former stasis─an effort from which the ranks of both our military and research divisions have yet to recover... <blip> <buzz>
8682TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_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.
8783TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_561During our battle with this self-evolving entity, we learned certain facts concerning its nature and origin.
8884TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_562Omega 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.
8985TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_563This 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.
9086TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_564Omega 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.
9187TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_565Unperturbed, 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.
9288TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_566The 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.
9389TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_567When 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.
9490TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_568History 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...
9591TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_569The revelations presented in this report are based upon Omega's own records, and we have little reason to doubt their veracity.
9692TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_570Indeed, our interactions with Omega have enlightened us to the possible existence of civilizations beyond the stars.
9793TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_571But that is a discussion for another time. This report is concerned only with our battles with Omega, and the mystery of the weapon itself.
9894TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_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.”
9995TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_581This 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.
10096TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_582As 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.
10197TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_583Thus 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.
10298TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_584Alpha, 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.
10399TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_585We have no way of knowing who Alpha's template was. Omega chose its subjects from history, from works of fiction...even from otherworldly reflections of our reality.
104100TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_586Alpha 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.
105101TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_587On 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.
106102TEXT_CTSOPN52OMEGATERMINAL_00669_OMEGATERMINAL_000_588As 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.
