Uh, yeah, that might be Kat you are looking for, girl. While Kat was the reason for Annie's survival, I imagine the nature of Annie's continued existence being a deviance from what "should" be makes any action of Annie's, no matter how mundane, a vector of chaos in a pre-ordained timeline. I should have known. Of course Omega's entangled in a parasocial relationship with Annie. Omniscience means being a voyeur, willing or reluctant 😅 Uh, yeah, that might be Kat you are looking for, girl. I doubt Omega could make such a mistake. However, "point of chaos" and "catalyst for unpredictability" would make Annie Omega's favorite, just for not being boring. It also explains why Annie is also Coyote's favorite. They both would find people very predictable, but being around Annie would be like reading a book for the 100th time, only to find that some parts are different this time. I doubt Omega could make such a mistake. However, "point of chaos" and "catalyst for unpredictability" would make Annie Omega's favorite, just for not being boring. Yeah, there are several beings that break the laws of nature for Annie's sake on a weekly basis, and Kat's only one of them. Using the terrain analogy, Annie's submerged up to her neck. And yet, if they "fixed" somehow this anomaly called Antimony, Kat could keep sending things back in time to mess with Omega's predictions, so yeah, she should look for Kat. |

Well, Annie's etheric rizz continues. You'll find her irresistible unless you're alive and a biological human! Maybe she emits anti-pheromones? one more bad experimental pickup line and im gonna turn your independent variables into dependents So you'll be my underlying cause? That lowers my variance ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) right that's it when i'm done with you the only journal you're getting published in is Acta Archaeologica |

major 'ace person getting hit on out of nowhere' vibes Or, indeed, anyone who's not comfortable being hit on. Now that you mention it, I'm reminded of my reaction when a friend's fiancée (whom I'd just met) said something flirtatious to me. |

Like many folks I've always thought that Annie wasn't very special since it was Kat who changed the timeline by saving her. But now it occurs to me that even with the ether in the way, Omega has correctly predicted every event up until Annie surviving her death. So, what if that means every timeline has been identical up until that point — that the world IS one predictable closed system? But when Annie survives, all of those timelines turn out differently from each other — that no two Annie timelines are the same?
I think that would make the most sense. It's not just that Kat altered time, but that Annie herself must act differently in every timeline after she survives — if she didn't, it should've been easy for Omega to simply factor in the fact that she survived and predict the rest of time. Plus, Kat had altered time even before she saved Annie by leading her parents to the old robot lab, but Omega never mentions that. Annie is special because somehow her actions are unique across the timelines, and because she's unpredictable she's the only one with free will in this closed system. Her free will has been affecting the predictability of everything around her, thus making her, not Kat, the point of chaos.

I for 1 would prefer it if this didn't get redirected to Kat.
Honestly I'm more surprised Omega isn't focusing on Andrew. I guess her calculations successfully accounted for his probability manipulation.
Actually that does make sense. As long as his ability can be measured she could calculate his influence on events by calculating what outcomes he would desire.
He'd just be a significantly bigger factor than most people, but not an unpredictable factor.

Also, she seems unhinged. A stark difference from her first introduction in the distortion. She's like that person you know who is generally shy and quiet until you randomly mention rocks and find out they are totally into rock collecting and then you can't get them to shut up about it. Except her obsession isn't rocks, it's herself. |

Yeah, she may not have had an emotionally intimate conversation in the 100+ years since she was disembodied. I wonder if she's talked directly with Tony before? His mind cage seems a lot like Omega's and Zimmy's issues, actually. I wonder if his mind is etherically enhanced: excellent at working with sparse data (hence his charm with individuals), but overwhelmed by too much info. |

Revisiting today's comic when it is no longer 3am I noticed clear Noob seams on Omega's hands in panel 4. I doubt she went through the transfer process, so she either made herself a new body with the power of the distortion or found herself in one and that latter is a longshot. [edit] I should also observe that if Omega is on her own Kat-like journey then her waiting for Antimony is more than justified. Antimony is the catalyst that will help her finish her own... transmutation process, I guess. [/edit] Well, she said herself that the distortion allowed her to "form" a new body, so for now I'm assuming that's indeed what happened. Unless she is lying, because in reality she found an NP looking almost like her old self and stole her body. Btw, as I mentioned one or two threads ago, she has been depicted with visible NP seams on her wrists and an NP speech bubble since her introduction, so it has been clear since then this is either a genuine NP body or one very carefully crafted to appear like one (unlikely). |

Yeah, Omega had the same seam back in #2902 but she still looks like a Noob even after she's been outed, at least to Antimony. Maybe she just hasn't taken a moment to be human again but maybe it wasn't just about infiltration. Maybe Omega wants to stay a Noob because she thinks that, even if outed, it'd make it easier to interact with the others later. I would think, all else held equal, that when the distortion happened her default body would be human, then she later Noobed herself. However, it may be a preference. Her human body may have had something wrong with it; she isn't shown on her feet until after the amplifiers and Charles said it'd been a while since she used her eyes, though that may be a side-effect of her condition rather than a disability. Maybe Omega got used to being connected to devices and she actually preferred a mechanical one, the latest high-end one in fact. When she asked Robot why he hadn't gotten a new body she looks perplexed at his extended reply. Was Omega really asking why Robot didn't undergo the transfer, or was she asking why he didn't just make himself a new (working non-barnacled) body when the distortion happened? So yeah, not a big deal, just noting that she's still a Noob and waiting to see if her form changes in a bit... or doesn't. |

Regarding several comments saying things like "wait until she learns about Kat" or similar: I'm still not convinced Omega doesn't know about Kat. She should have seen* the original timeline and thus seen original Kat meddle with time. She knows Kat, but the whole Norns incident was hidden by Etheric Waters. It all happened in the Norns realm. |
