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 02:53 pm (UTC)...I AM SORRY FOR THE BURDEN I HAVE PLACED ON YOU. THAT MUST HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR YOU. I WAS CRUEL, IN THE END, ONE LAST TIME. I SUPPOSE THAT I ULTIMATELY COULD NOT ESCAPE MY NATURE AS A BADNIK.
I WILL NOT ASK THAT YOU TAKE CARE OF GAMMA, BUT THAT YOU SIMPLY FIND SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF HIM. HE IS LAZY AND INFERIOR AND SLEEPS SO MUCH THAT HE FORGETS TO EAT SO OFTEN, THAT SOMEONE MUST FEED HIM REGULARLY. I...I CARE ABOUT HIM A GREAT DEAL, SO I HOPE YOU CAN FIND SOMEONE TO MEET HIS NEEDS. BETA IS SELF SUFFICIENT, SO HE DOES NOT NEED A CARETAKER.
...
...
CEREJEIRA, YOU HAVE MADE ME FEEL EMOTIONS THAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW TO PROCESS. EMOTIONS THAT I BELIEVE I WOULD FEEL TOWARDS SAGE AND METAL SONIC AND BELLE AND ALL THE OTHERS IF WE WERE CLOSER. A...KIND OF FAMILIAL BOND THAT ONLY MACHINES AND AI LIKE US CAN UNDERSTAND.
I DO NOT KNOW IF I WILL BE ABLE TO SAY THIS TO YOUR FACE, SO I WILL SAY IT HERE: I LOVE YOU, MY SISTER.
...
...
INCLUDED ON THIS DATA DISK IS ALL THE DATA I HAVE AMASSED ON MY SISTER, SAGE, AND THE ANCIENTS' CYBERSPACE TECHNOLOGY THAT ALLOWS HER TO MANIFEST AS A REAL WORLD OBJECT. I BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE KEY TO ALLOWING YOU TO MANIFEST AS A REAL, TANGIBLE BEING LIKE SHE DOES. MAY IT BE OF USE TO YOU.
BE WELL.
I BELIEVE IN YOU. AND PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR FRIEND...SMILE, SOMEDAY.
