Why didn't Omega see this coming?

>>149263725
Because it was planned in the ether where she isn't able to peek.>>149263725

>>149263701 (OP)
Just a bit of soul magic, nothing big, really.

This actually provides a lot of insight into how the gods act in this comic. They don't actually seem to know how anything works, they just do something and it works. Coyote understands WHY things just work, on a basic level, it's just 'the ether makes it so', but even he couldn't tell you how it does it.
I suppose that is (supposedly) kinda the point. There is no how. Given how Kat's just accepting the supernatural more and more without trying to find an answer, I doubt we'll ever get anything more definitive than we have at this point. I still think there has to be a how. The ether follows rules and there are court scientists who have all but mastered its use who aren't gods like Aata or Kat.

>>149263725
>>149263750
And in other timelines the distortion seems to have apocalyptic consequences. At least for the court. Additionally, any timeline where Omega got fixed would probably also have that effect on her that Annie had where she couldn't see into it properly.

>>149263811
Omega never knew it was possible to fix her. She literally could have just walked up to Kat and asked her, avoiding this whole distraction quest and whatever mess she created with Jenny and Jack that has yet to unfold.

>>149263750
I was thinking more "in the future I may lose my omniscience" like she runs into a dead end regarding how far she can have her foresight.

Omg.kat did the impissible, everybody is happy, everybody showers her in praise. Thrilling.

The brain is still in the machine,untouched. She just removed the access to the robot body and uploaded a copie in it. The real omega is back to eternal darkness

>>149263867
>The brain is still in the machine
That is actually not true, it has rotted away. We saw the skeleton.
Whether her mind was digitized or her soul was bound to a big ether life support is not actually made clear so far in the comic, but it seems more likely to me that it is the latter, especially given how Kat saw it in the abstract. If she had just uploaded Omega's mind to the new person body, she would have said so and we would have been shown so.

>>149263913
Oh, and also, why else would the machine incorporate her skeleton like this is warhammer 40k?

>>149263701 (OP)
Inshallah I will murder tom

Where's Jones?

>>149263844
>>149263811
Her "omniscience" is only the consequence of her being able to observe the trajectory of every particles ever, with the exception of the influence of the ehter. A future where action in the ether may lead to her losing her omniscience is just one she could never predict.

>>149263701 (OP)
Why is she hugging Annie? Annie didn't do SHIT.

>>149264320
Did you not get the memo? Kat isn't a character anymore. Just a plot device.

continuous yawn

based

fuck the retards trying to justify this nonsense
you are literally pulling shit out of your ass (like tom)

>>149264394
Maybe try reading the comic, iunno.

>>149264403
I did, which is why this chapter is garbage. You are literally making stuff up to conveniently justify massive glaring errors in its own continuity.

>>149264320
Omega may be over a century old but she's still retarded

>>149264407
>to conveniently justify massive glaring errors in its own continuity.
What massive glaring errors?

>>149263701 (OP)
... You're a weird bitch, Meg.

And here's where Tony reveals he's a pentuple agent and kills Kat with a silencer now that they've isolated the Omega Device from this hysterical housewife wannabe

>>149263701 (OP)
Are you fucking kidding me?

what's the point of the omega device if it's cut off from omega. she IS the device.
how is she "blind" without it when the whole point was her information attracting quirk was an aspect inherent to HER, not to some external machine

>>149264520
He IS wearing a tuxedo.

>>149264572
>she IS the device.
Not exactly. We have seen it grown from/being build on her body. It was always an addendum, an extension of her original self.

>how is she "blind" without it when the whole point was her information attracting quirk was an aspect inherent to HER
Kat know how her robot-body work to every single cogs, servos and circuits. Isolating one of her sense is not out of reach.

>>149264617
>this great setup
>the utterly fucking abysmal lackluster SHITTY "climax" and conclusion
what a fucking pile of offal this comic has become

>>149264572
We can say with the full benefit of hindsight that omega's personhood was a vestigial part of the device, even if it was seemingly an integral part of omega the person.

>>149264320
This wouldn't have been possible if not for Annie's superb acting! Also Annie is very huggable.

>>149264734
Annie fooled everybody! How clever and charming she is!

>>149263701 (OP)
Is this how she will “kill” Zimmy?

By separating the power from her

So let me get this straight:

Omega is a woman who is so uniquely attuned to the ether, she is constantly bombarded with information while also being able to manipulate small creatures such as birds to do her bidding.
With the help of the Court, she is turned into the Omega device, which has the ability to observe every atom in a certain range both spatially and temporally, making it possible to know everything that has happened and will happen.
She wanted this so she could witness an event (and a "girl who should not be") that would interfere with her observation (and prediction) abilities, causing them to no longer be accurate.

Eventually, Loup uses Zimmy as a power source to create the distortion, the event Omega wanted to witness. This somehow turns the Omega device into one of Kat's humanoid robots, but not the entire machine, just the "human" part (whatever that means).
Using the power of reverse non-induction, Annie manages to map out where the Omega device is by knowing where it is not. Kat then uses her Godly powers to partition Omega's "human" part from the machine part.
And now after being effectively lobotomized, she expresses to the people lobotomizing her just how thankful she is for being turned into a "normal" person. Despite having at no point expressed that she was not content with what she became.

I just don't understand how Tom fumbled this story this hard.
Unless he's just making stuff up as he goes while using Kat's God powers to explain everything?

>>149264780
No. Zimmy was afraid Kat would find out her secret. Something only Omega (and now Jack) knows.

>>149264811
It's amazing, you somehow got pretty much every single thing wrong!

One more character rejected

>>149264780
At this point? Who the fuck knows with what kind of retardation Tom will come up next.

Now there's no reason for Annie to object to Omega getting plowed by her father!

>>149264811
>With the help of the Court, she is turned into the Omega device, which has the ability to observe every atom in a certain range both spatially and temporally
No, the machine was created to let her process the information easier. It doesn't give her additional abilities or whatever.
Charles then expanded the scope of his machine to keep her alive beyond her body's death.
>She wanted this so she could witness an event (and a "girl who should not be") that would interfere with her observation (and prediction) abilities, causing them to no longer be accurate.
She wanted to be alive to witness that, yes, see above.
>Eventually, Loup uses Zimmy as a power source to create the distortion
Not in the slightest. Loup had no say over that situation whatsoever and Coyote certainly didn't plan to create the distortion, either.
>the event Omega wanted to witness
No, the distortion's effect on her sight is entirely separate from Annie's effect on it. Omega additionally was fully aware of the distortion happening in plenty of timelines and doesn't seem all too interested in it, except for the fact that this distortion appears to be stable, which was noteworthy to her.
>This somehow turns the Omega device into one of Kat's humanoid robots, but not the entire machine, just the "human" part
It gave her a body. The exact details are unknown. My own theory is that Omega was and is still the original Omega in the machine and that the new person Omega is being puppeteered by her remotely, but that's not been established.
>partition Omega's "human" part from the machine part.
No.There is no 'machine part'. Not any more than a person in an iron lung is 'part machine'. The machine is a very fancy life support. Kat separated Omega from a part of herself. The same part of herself that the machine was designed to separate from her as well.
>at no point expressed that she was not content with what she became.
This could not be more wrong. This was all she ever wanted.

>>149264860
I am fully aware of the page you were referencing, thanks.

>>149264922
>No, the machine was created to let her process the information easier. It doesn't give her additional abilities or whatever.
She used to be overwhelmed by information, her mechanization helped her control this ability until she was able to peer in both the past and future (2937, 2941).
>Loup had no say over that situation whatsoever
He quite literally caused the distortion by attacking Coyote while near Zimmy (2817). I probably should've worded this better to not make it sound like it was planned.
>No, the distortion's effect on her sight is entirely separate from Annie's effect on it.
The distortion and the girl are both part of the same event Omega wanted to witness (2943).
>It gave her a body.
It did. Why? No one knows. Not even Tom.
>The machine is a very fancy life support.
No, Omega has very much passed away (2945). The only thing that remains is her mind, which may or may not have been etherized or mechanized.
>This was all she ever wanted.
Feel free to provide a single page where she has stated as much.

>>149264965
>Feel free to provide a single page where she has stated as much.
Her entire backstory was about accomplishing this exact thing Kat just did.

>>149264811
>Omega is a woman who is so uniquely attuned to the ether,
I think the whole point is that the ether is the one thing she can perceive, so the other way around.

Are y'all pretending to be this stupid or are you actually this dumb and getting angry you can't understand a simple webcomic?

>>149265599
>y'all posting

Tom, you are no longer "the yuth"

>>149265712
I'm southern

Do people ask chat gpt to make those answer you guys keep pimling up fake logic and fanfic that ignore every page ever written in that story

>>149265935
>ESL
You will not speak until spoken to.

>>149263784
>but even he couldn't tell you how it does it.
Coyote absolutely could, but that would be boring.

>>149263844
That already started when her predictions started being wrong whenever Annie was involved, as Annie was supposed to be dead but was still around due to ether-based time travel.

>>149266554
The dumbness of this story is giving a shit about Annie at all when she's just a consequence of Kat's retarded deus cuck machina plot annihiliation

>>149267428
finally someone said the correct answer

>>149265980
>cant refute a single point.
yup, its really just schizo shit

>>149267428
Obviously.

So, Kat can just fix Annie, too, right?
Right?

>>149263701 (OP)
Kat being able to just do anything with no consequences has ruined this comic. I fucking hope her now also gaining the omega device actually leads to something.

>chapter 99
so is chapter 100 going to be the epilogue and then thats the end?
crazy that they planned out the chapters like "hmmm, yeah, this is going to take around... 20 years to finish"

>>149263701 (OP)
I wish Annie could hug me

>>149268889
>so is chapter 100 going to be the epilogue and then thats the end?
One can only hope
