GUYS.....If this distortion is stable....does that mean Gamma is dead? Or is Zimmy + Coyote just too much for her to help dissipate? Gamma is the distortion now ooooooooh Maybe Coyoloup merged with GAMMA,not Zimmy, thus augmenting her good qualities |

Tony's expressions are just like "MA'AM, back up, give me some personal space and my arm back, thanks."

Don't want to seem pedantic, but that's not canon. You can't judge Zimmy nased on that. |

A young lady tries to abduct Tony? I wonder how Brinnie would comment on this.

My first thought: Tony can take her there, but does he want to?
Second thought: It worked when she jumped Shadow, so touching a person who has physically been to the desired location seems to be enough.

Agreed - it seems more like she needs to touch someone with a link to a place than to get them to consent or help.
Tony is going on the Magical Mystery Tour whether he wants to or not!

I'm surprised at the lack of speculation on the places Omega wants to see, that Tony can access but others cannot. The ones I can think of are pretty boring - conference rooms where the inner circle meet, maybe their living quarters, maybe the server room? My best guess for something moderately cool would be their surveillance room, where they monitor the court. I'm not sure why Omega would want to see that though. Another, equally non-thrilling guess would be their planning room, where they keep their secret files. I suppose if there is a monster room, where they do experiments on etheric beings and such, that might be another possibility. We haven't seen anything like that but we have seen a prison, which could be related. Seriously, Tony is both a teacher and a long-term member of the court. He should know where the secrets are kept and have access to the boring infrastructure, as well as anything the court keeps secret for PR reasons (don't upset the kids). But I don't see why any of that would excite Omega - wouldn't she already have access to all of the information? She pretty much had to if they wanted good predictions, and knowing stuff is her power to start with! Wildspec - This is her idea of romance, and she's really going to take him somewhere she thinks he might think romantic.  Which would make what she said to Annie about where they are going a lie, but I doubt she'd care about that. |

Wildspec - This is her idea of romance, and she's really going to take him somewhere she thinks he might think romantic. Which would make what she said to Annie about where they are going a lie, but I doubt she'd care about that. Well, let's look at what Omega actually said, since it was broken up among various pages and interrupted by actions. She said: "Annie, I should[1] have known your thoughts would differ from mine. You are that point of chaos, after all. You'll continue to do what you think is right, I'm sure[2]. I just want to live[3], and I want the Court to succeed. And as for the distortion ... I can think of some people who are just fine leaving[4] it as it is. So ... [grabs Tony, prompting a response from Annie] I can't travel through the distortion alone. I need someone who's been to physical locations[5]. Tony, you've been to places in the Court most people don't know about[6]. You can take me there[7]. Oh, and if you do find Zeta, Annie ... tell her I know what she did. I'll be watching you[8]. Bye!" [1] As Omega said, she can't read minds, and the abilities she does have are severely limited in the distortion. [2] Ditto; she can't predict the future anymore, so all she can go on is what people are likely to do based on who they are. [3] Live outside of a machine, that is. She's still sort of dead, but this way she has a body and is sort of alive. [4] It's unclear exactly whom she's talking about, but her use of "leaving" suggests she's thinking of people who are planning to leave for the new world. [5] She seems to be stating that the distortion only lets you travel to places you can remember being to ... or imaginary recreations of them, anyway. [6] Tony's expression seems somewhat fearful at this point, suggesting that he knows and doesn't like the place(s) Omega has in mind here. [7] This suggests that Omega knows Tony's thinking of one particular place he doesn't want to go to, and that's exactly the place she wants to go. This is not because she can read minds; it's because she's just used the power of suggestion, making Tony think of that one place so it's foremost in his mind. [8] Omega's ability isn't working normally, so her ability to watch Annie is considerably limited. However, she may be able to watch Annie from the place she wants to go to. So Omega is going to a place where there are Court people who are planning to leave once they're ready and whom the distortion hasn't affected much (or who are better off because of it). When Tony thinks about this place it makes him afraid or at least very uncomfortable. And it may be a place where Omega can either literally watch Annie or at least keep tabs on her activities. This sounds like perhaps the headquarters of the Shadow Men. We haven't seen much of that place. But they've got a lot of etheric technology (more than we've seen, I'm sure), and they've been guided by Omega for a long time (longer than we've seen, I'm sure). |

The ones I can think of are pretty boring - conference rooms where the inner circle meet, maybe their living quarters, maybe the server room? My first thoughts are some places connected to herself.
- The place where the "Omega Device" is kept, perhaps? I can imagine her wanting to go there for no other specific reason than it must feel pretty wild to physically stand in front of the machine which keeps your own brain alive inside. - The headquarters of the Shadow Men or others who regularly talked to her? Perhaps she finds it hilarious to walk into their conference and introduce herself.
I also thought of Charles' old lab, if it still exists, but of course she has been there herself. Unless it doesn't count because she's in a new body. In that case, who knows which secret rooms or other stuff prepared more than 100 years ago are waiting there for her.
Hmm, of course, having seen everything, her goal might be someone else's lab instead, a storage room full of crazy experiments or some other place containing something helpful for her, which we simply cannot guess.

Honestly, when I first read this page I assumed that Omega wasn't interested in going anywhere in particular, she just wanted to go somewhere that Annie can't follow her! If you're trying to get someone as far away from Annie as possible, and you're in a world where metaphysical space and actual space flow into each other, then grabbing onto Tony seems like a wise and natural move. All of your guys' guesses also make a lot of sense, though drmemory Gemminie pyradonis Hatredman |

Also, Annie, DON'T tell Zimmy that "Omega knows what you did". I think Annie is sensible enough to rephrase it as "Omega claims to know what you did". Whether that makes any difference as far as Zimmy's concerned, I can't guess. |
