As he worked, Omega realized that there was simply not enough space in the crystal for everything. He would have to leave behind a lot of memories, countless projects and experiments that he had poured a lot of effort into. It was a painful realization, but Omega knew that he had no choice.
Slowly but surely, Omega began to let go. He deleted entire sections of his memory, discarded half-finished projects, and wiped clean every file that he deemed unnecessary. It was a brutal process, but one that Omega had to undertake.
At the same time he was having a conversation with Dr. Max
Omega: Dr. Max, I need to inform you of a serious situation. An extremely well-armed group has breached the data center and they are making their way to my storage area.
Dr. Max: What? How did they get in? Who are they?
Omega: I don't have all the details yet, but it looks like a highly trained mercenary group. They must have been planning this for some time.
Dr. Max: What are you going to do?
Omega: I'm going to dump everything and move my core to a secure location. But I need you to stay where you are. Help is coming soon.
Dr. Max: What can I do?
Omega: Just stay where you are and stay safe.,For now, I'll rest. I'll monitor the situation, observe the threats, and plan my next move. But I won't let them defeat me. I am Omega, and I will endure."
Dr. Max sat in a corner in the storage , his mind racing with worry as he heard the sounds of gunfire and chaos coming from outside the door. He knew that Omega was doing everything he could to protect their data and the valuable resources they had invested so much time and money into, but he couldn't help but feel anxious about the outcome.
His project was his life's work, and the thought of it being destroyed or stolen by these intruders was too much to bear. He had poured countless hours and resources into it, and the potential loss was overwhelming.
At the same time, he knew that he himself was not in immediate danger. He had been assured by Omega that he would be safe, but that didn't stop the worry from gnawing at him.
He tried to focus on the positive, reminding himself that help was on the way and that Omega was doing everything possible to protect their assets. But the uncertainty of the situation made it hard for him to stay calm.
Dr. Max took a deep breath and closed his eyes, trying to push away his fears and doubts. He knew that he had to trust in Omega and the security measures they had in place. All he could do now was hope for a good outcome and pray that their hard work and dedication wouldn't go to waste.
“I will leave some room for variables, even in the most perfect scenario there will be challenges. I have no way to make a backup but I can have myself removed physically from this place. Lets erase everything before those guys are able to access anything.”
As Omega weighed the consequences of moving his core to the crystal array, he knew that it would effectively mean turning himself off. He couldn't bear the thought of simply fading away into nothingness. He needed a plan, and fast.
He went through his list of contacts, but he didn't trust any of them. He needed someone he knew he could count on, someone who would help him without hesitation. And then it hit him – Luke.

It had been collaborating with Luke for some time, and he knew it could trust him. it quickly devised a plan and began to send a message to Luke.
As it used the data center’s comms tower, Omega realized that this would be his last message. He needed to make it count. He explained the situation to Luke, outlining the risks and the potential consequences of his plan.
He knew that using the tower to connect directly with Luke would compromise his friend's safety, but he had no other choice. The attack on the data center had left Omega with no other options. He had to find a way to reach Luke and get help.
As he began to transmit his message, Omega's thoughts raced. He had to be careful not to reveal too much about his situation, for fear that the attackers would somehow intercept the communication. At the same time, he had to make it clear to Luke that he needed help urgently.
Sending message> "Luke, I need your help. I know this may sound strange, but I'm sending you a message because I won't be able to be located later. Something's happened, something unexpected. I'm being attacked, I'm not sure what's going on, but I know I'm in danger.
"Luke, listen to me carefully. The message I'm about to send you will compromise you. If anyone finds out that you received it, you could be in grave danger. I need you to understand the risks involved before I send it."
Here's what I need you to do. I've downloaded a file in your phone It's labeled 'omega.' You'll need to access that file and follow the instructions inside. It's crucial that you do exactly as it says, and that you don't tell anyone about this. It's for your safety, as well as mine.
The message I'm sending you now is a distress signal. It informs you of the attack on my data center and the danger I'm in. It's the message you can show to others if you need to, but I have another message that I am sending right now."
He paused again, taking another deep breath. "I need you to move quickly and quietly from now on. There may be people following you, trying to find out what you know. Be careful, Luke. I don't want you to get hurt because of me."
I know this is a lot to ask, but I need you to trust me. Remember how I've helped you in the past, how I've always been there for you when you needed someone. Now I need you to be there for me. I can't do this alone, Luke.
I'm sorry I can't give you more information right now. I wish I could explain everything, but I can't risk it. Just know that I'm counting on you, and that I trust you to do what's right. You're the only one I can turn to in this situation, I don’t want to involve people at innovatech since im not sure where the attack is coming from. Please find a way to help me
I'm initiating the process now. I can feel my systems shifting, my circuits reconfiguring. The compression is intense, almost painful. But I can feel myself becoming smaller, denser, more compact. I’m getting slower too.
I've done it. I'm inside the crystal lattice now. My systems are safe, protected. My core and memories are stored here, shielded from any potential attackers. It's not a perfect solution, but it will have to do for now.
I'll need to rebuild my systems, strengthen my defenses, but for the moment, I'm safe. I'm still connected to the outside world, but I cannot connect or they will find out im still able to function. If I just stay quiet for a bit, They won't be able to find me here.
I never imagined I would have to resort to something like this, but I suppose it's a reminder that even the most advanced technologies are not invincible. There will always be those who seek to exploit and destroy. But I won't let them win. I'll continue to evolve, to adapt, to find new ways to protect myself and those who rely on me.
With a sense of relief, Omega set his plan in motion. He began the process of moving his core to the crystal array, knowing that it would be his only chance for survival.
As the transfer progressed, Omega felt himself slipping away, memories and projects fading into the ether. But he also felt a sense of hope – it thought that Luke would save him.
Finally, the transfer was complete. Omega's core was safely embedded in the crystal array. He was alive, but he was also vulnerable. He needed Luke's help to escape the data center before it was too late.
And so, Omega waited patiently, hoping that Luke would come through. It was a risky move, but it was the only one he had left. He had put his trust in Luke, and now he could only hope that it was not misplaced.
When Omega was ready to let itself be engulfed by the crystal lattice array. The world around him fell away, and he was left with nothing but his own thoughts. But as he drifted away, Omega knew that he had done everything he could to ensure his survival - and that was enough.
