The Omega

Derailed by the Railroad

"So, you're finally back. I've heard of everything you've done out there and none was with the Railroad."

"Desdemona, I have a courser chip I need analyzed." I said, ignoring her remarks on my disappearance from the Railroad.

"You killed a courser?" she scoffed. "You're supposed to run from them, not engage them."

"I did." I insisted, showing her the chip. "Me, my clones, and Master Darro did it ourselves."

"Deacon, what's your information?"

"It's true, boss. They have this whole army of 'clones' along with these awesome ships. This gal is the General of the Minutemen now." he said.

"Hmm, alright, follow me." she said, going into the HQ. She had Tinker Tom decode it then made a request. "We need that courser chip." she said.

"Why do you need it?" I asked.

"This chip can have tons of information about the Institute. It's a demand."

I thought it over and decided we didn't need it anymore. "Fine, you can have it." I said.

"Good. So, now what matters is if you'll stay and help us."

"The Jedi council had ordered us to focus on the Institute." I said.

"Alright, but know once you're done, you're doing something."

I went back to the Castle and debriefed with Darro.

"They wanted the Courser chip." I said.

"Let them have it. It's not our top priority." Darro said. "Let's go back to Virgil."

We went onto a ship and flew back to the cave.

"So, I see you handled yourselves well with the courser. You have it decoded?"

"Yes." I said.

"How? Those things would be hard with all the locks."

"That's not important." Darro said. "What's next."

"You'll have to build this transmitter." Virgil said, handing some scrawled schematics. "Be careful. The Institute is ruthless. Don't forget the serum, too!"

I nodded and went back outside. I felt like my old self again. I went back to the Castle and we started building the transmitter. After a couple of days, we completed it and it was ready to teleport.

"I'll go." I said.

"Are you sure, Omega?" Danse asked.

"I'm sure." I said. "This is for the Commonwealth. This will help."

"Alright. Step onto the platform and get ready. Use this to scan their data and get out of there. We'd need nothing else from them for a while after this." Darro said, handing me a holotape.

I stepped onto the platform and got myself ready.

"Be careful. We don't know what's in there or what happens. May the force be with you, always."
