Is this Zimmy?
Either that or Omega's original look before getting turned into a spooky scary skeleton, but probably Zimmy.

I swear, it's confounding! With each page Eggs gets more irrecognizable!

Despite the resemblance to Zimmy, she still looks more like Omega to me. Also, as Corvo said, Zimmy never sleeps.

And, of course, there's the fact that the title of this chapter is Omega.
I wonder if this chapter is going to be kind of like chapter 40, "The Stone", with a slow reveal.

Looks more dead than sleeping to me. Like the classical burial posture. |

Looks more dead than sleeping to me. Like the classical burial posture. Which is an important observation because Zimmy would have to be dead before she would let anyone put that dress on her. I am wondering about the significance of the thingy in the upper left. |

Speaking of the dress—doesn't strike me as modern Court garb. Omega must be at least a century old.
I'm so tempted to call this arc The Ones Who Walk Away from Omegas 😆

just spitballing here but I wonder if Omega and Zeta were ever the same entity, or at least derivatives of this person, whoever she is...a bit like Annie used to be split into two then merged again.
Except maybe in that case both Zimmy & Omega had different life trajectories.

An AI powered by a Zimmy-a-like in repose.
Huh.

Perhaps Zimmy is failed Omega clone. Gotta have backups.

Can Zimmy's power be passed down genetically? Can it move from parent to child? Is this Zimmy's ancestor?
If so that could be one reason why they were so keen on observing Zimmy for so long. To compare and contrast her abilities with the girl they turned into Omega.
Zimmy is known as Zeta by Court Officials so the titling pattern applies too.

Omega is a back sleeper. Mystery solved.
From the dress and cobblestone, we may be looking at a flashback, like others have said. That would certainly be helpful lorewise. I'm still leaning toward split personality. That way Kat can "kill" Zimmy with Omega, when trying to heal them/her.

"What else" and "mistery solved".Tom does not interact in the forums anymore, but he is definetly reading thoroughly te last few topics. Speaking of the dress—doesn't strike me as modern Court garb. Omega must be at least a century old. These are 19th century garments, I believe. Maybe early 19th* century. So I would guess between 150 and 200 years old. But GC (the comic) is notably not era-accurate in clothing depiction - as in the old discussion of Jones' fashion in The Stone (chapter 40), the Founders' uniforms in The Medium Beginning (ch 17 a loooong time ago), and Surma's gang in Get Lost (ch 64). Also, the colours (kind of sepia), lighting and overall nightish mood hints for a Jack The Ripper setting. So, again, 19th century. I am wondering about the significance of the thingy in the upper left. Well, there's an Omega letter in there. * I abhor the use of roman numerals for centuries. I know it's the norm, but I find it pedantic and you will never catch me using it. |

Or a nap. I nap like this. On coblestone? She took a brick of magnesium to the head S/N: I love the way her face, framed by the darkness of her hair, echoes the inner negative space of the omega symbol |

Well, there's an Omega letter in there. Which is what makes me wonder :3 If I had to guess, it's some kind of special vision overlay. Or even more meta, a reverse chapter end mark? I wouldn't be that suprised if Ω is powerful enough to mess with the fourth wall just a tiny bit. |

Either that or Omega's original look before getting turned into a spooky scary skeleton, but probably Zimmy. I don't think it's Zimmy, I think the court cloned Zimmy to make Omega. It would explain the resemblance and her etheric-warping powers. It would also explain why they were willing to bring Zimmy to the court and then largely left her alone. They were only after her abilities wrapped up in her DNA. |

Looks more dead than sleeping to me. Like the classical burial posture. It's also vaguely reminescent of Gamma sleeping in the toy pile in Zimmyngham. Maybe this is still the distortion (the buildings were brown in those first scenes with nature and architecture morphed) and we're actually seeing Gamma or someone else instead of Zimmy.
Or maybe, judging from the vintage dress and the normal eyes, we'll see Zimmy's past before she became an ether sink, and she'll turn out to be way older than she looks

A lot of people have been assuming that Omega was created from Zimmy, but Zimmy being a failed Omega clone, or a failed first attempt at making what is now Omega actually makes a lot of sense Theory: this is maybe Zimmy-mark-1, the first attempt at Omega, in a human. Last century, hence the period clothes. Experiment failed, subject died. Zimmy herself is Zimmy-mark-N, the most recent, and final attempt attain an *organic* Omega. As crafty Coyote said, the Court wants to become gods, or have god-like prediction ability. Originally they thought they way to go was orgranic, but after repeated failures, they finally succeeded (sort of) with current machine Omega. |
