Tech had Mini-R2 and Echo do some digging into some of the computers in order to find anything about Omega that would be helpful.
"I honestly should've guessed they were gonna use me for something like this." Boba said. "Especially when Uncle Carmine started having me learn that song to get rid of the inhibitor chips."
"Inhibitor chips?" said Echo.
"Part of the regs programming." Tech said.
"What programming?" Hunter asked.
"It's been well documented that the Kaminoans inhibited the cognitive functions of clones to engineer them to follow orders without question."
"And when the Song Dust was created and got rid of the chips, it allowed clones to be more free-spirited if they so chose." Boba said.
"Precisely."
"Ha! We sure don't." Wrecker said, whacking Crosshair with his Lula plush and wrapping his arm around him.
"Obviously, we are different." said Tech. "They manipulated preexisting aberrations in our DNA resulting in your brute strength, Crosshair's sharp shooting skills, Hunter's enhanced senses and my exceptional mind."
"Well, I was unmodified." Boba said. "Which is why I age like a normal kid and act like a normal kid."
"That would be correct." Tech looked at the data pad. "You possess pure first-generation DNA. A perfect replica of... Jango Fett, the clone template."
"He was my father."
"How many clones like him exist?" Hunter asked.
"Looking... Ah! There is one other. A female clone, codenamed Omega, half of the Alpha and Omega project. Boba was originally codenamed Alpha."
"And Dad decided to rename me after a milk tea? Really?" Boba said.
"That's what you're worried about?" Echo chuckled.
Boba sighed. "No, I've gotten used to it. Too late to change my name now."
"But why wouldn't I have been told I had a sister?" Boba asked.
"Either your birth father didn't know how to tell you, couldn't tell you, or he didn't know about her himself." Tech said. "Did you not say that part of your father's deal with the Kaminoans was just the first clone for himself?"
Boba thought and said, "I guess we know who's the older twin."
But then, Boba thought again. When he was growing up, every few months, Jango went under some kind of procedure with the Kaminoans. At first, Boba had no idea what it was for or why... but then he remembered once when he was smaller and he got bored, and decided to sneak out and explore the facility, when he walked in on what turned out to be how the cloning process worked. And that was when Boba realized... that was exactly what he saw Omega being put through!
Boba remembered now! His father always felt very weak after the procedure. How did it affect a child?
"We gotta get her out of here!" Boba said. "She could be in serious trouble!"
"Right now, our orders are to protect you." Hunter said.
"Ugh! Thanks for the support, guys!" Boba said sarcastically, leaving the room, taking his tablet with him.
"Let him go." said Tech. "He needs to learn to settle his emotions himself."
Boba sat down somewhere and looked on his tablet. On it, there were pictures and videos of him and his family. So many great memories he'd made over the years he'd been a Skywalker.
