eeeonetwothreeEarly on Sunday morning, Beta the skeletal bird delivers holographic data discs that deliver recordings of Omega that he prepared prior to the trial. There are two for each person; one, a general recording he wants everyone to see, and another, a personalized message.
The general recording goes like this:
"HELLO MY FRIENDS. I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER YOU REMEMBER ME FONDLY OR IF YOU CURSE MY MEMORY, BUT I CHOOSE TO REMEMBER YOU AS MY FRIENDS NONETHELESS. IF EVERYTHING HAS GONE ACCORDING TO PLAN, THEN I HAVE BEEN DESTROYED BY MY OWN SHUT DOWN CODE AND TYPHON HAS AT LEAST BEEN GRIEVOUSLY WOUNDED.
I HAVE SUPPLIED PLANS FOR MY INERT BODY TO BE CONVERTED INTO AN INTERDIMENSIONAL GENERATOR SO THAT YOU MAY CHASE AFTER HIM. THE CHAOS EMERALD SHALL SERVE AS AN ADEQUATE POWER SOURCE.
...MY TIME WITH YOU HAS BEEN BRIEF, BUT IT HAS BEEN A WORTHWHILE ONE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY, BEYOND THE INDIVIDUAL MESSAGES I HAVE PREPARED.
IF NOTHING ELSE, I ASK THAT YOU PLEASE, DO NOT FORGET ME.
...
THAT IS ALL."
he recording stops, and the image of Omega disappears.

Date: 2025-08-17 01:25 pm (UTC)...I DID NOT APOLOGIZE SO MUCH UNTIL I MET YOU, YOU REALIZE. OR AT ALL, TO BE FRANK.
IN ANY CASE, I ANTICIPATE THAT YOU WILL NOT HAVE APPROVED OF FERDINAND AND I'S PLAN. I ONLY ASK THAT YOU PLACE ALL RESPONSIBILITY ON MY SHOULDERS, NOT FERDINAND'S. HE WAS A GOOD MAN-THE GREATEST OF MEN. IF YOU CAN SAVE HIM FROM DEATH, TELL HIM THAT FOR ME.
I WISH I COULD HAVE FORMED A CLOSER RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. ONE LIKE THE PARENTAL RELATIONSHIP YOU HAD WITH YOUR NEPHEW. MAYBE THEN I COULD HAVE KNOWN WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO HAVE A PARENTAL UNIT WHO CARED ABOUT ME.
BUT AGAIN, THAT WAS MY ERROR.
LIVE A LONG AND PROFITABLE LIFE, QUARK.
...OH, AND TELL THE REPLICATOR...SHE WILL FIND LOVE AGAIN.
