This seems like a potentially significant event in the history of Omega here, so I'm gonna roll out some things and see what happens. You guys might suddenly be a bit too busy to go on the next mission I have in development.
How is the heart connected to the diffrent members of Omega legion and to the brands, see how one can interact with the brands and the strands that connect them (referring to the strands described when vlad first became undead
If people are in a rush towards the next mission then I think it's time to quicken the pace, to absorb some energy from the heart to keep Vlad up and running for a long while (say a few decades) and perhaps one of the creatures that repair it if it gets close but otherwise time to snip the strings that bind all the prisoners and the brands to it and release them from the confines of Omega.
It is time to shut down the heart.
"Might be rushing things a bit here, but for all the damage, for all the harm this organization has done. For enslaving me and consuming all I was to be turned into another abominable tool for spreading the tyranny and corruption of the Queen, consuming entire planes and planets for the grinding advance for the omega legion. I tear it down and release us all from the service of the omega legion! Let us be free!
I think if I survive the upcoming events I'll make a trip home and say hello."
(1) you absorb some energy from the heart, but is flows out of you like water through a sieve, and activates your hunger counter. You are at 80/100.
(6) you take one of the antlike cyborgs and eat it whole. Unlike normal when you eat something, you do not gain the traits of the thing. Instead, tuiny ant cyborgs burst out of your skin and begin remaking you- destroying and repairing in equal measures.
(6) oh. I better roll a few more bits. this could be big. (2) okay, looks like the effects are gonna be limited. (6) okay.
Here's what those three rolls mean: Vlad has seen threads that connect Omega's prisoners to Omega itself. He is soewhat aware of them through his own cursed nature as an Omega generated Ghoul. He peers into that darkness at the center of Omega, discovering first that the Heart of Omega is not the same as the Heart of Lathal - the mechanicorganic structure he is standing upon at the moment.
The heart of Omega is a black tangle of deep interwoven connections, bindings, contracts, and life forces. the Heart of Lathal is bound to that in a unique way, but is not what fuels and drives Omega. That first 6 is Vlad unwinding one strand in that mass of connections - a pretty big strand that has been bound tightly by Omega's webbed Heart. he springs it free from the overall mass. that 2 limits the effect to this one entity. Nothing else is unbound as a result of this act. that third 6 is the creature's reaction to being so unleashed. Congratulations, Vlad, you've released one of Omega's CAPTIVES.
Lemme roll to see where it claws its way out to. (6) The Heart, of course. The Heart Chamber suddenly fills with a noxious, sickly green haze. Vlad can see no further than ten feet in front of him, but he can feel a presence. He can sense it's effect on the Heart CHamber as tubes are smashed and machinery topples. A piercing, gurgling keen assaults Vlad's earholes, drilling into his brain. The Omega Brand lights up on Vlad like Fire. Similar, but much more ptent lines light up below Vlad's feet, and shine through the green murk from various directions and distances.
As for the rest of you: Your Omega Brands also light up in dull, aching red. You feel a strong urge to head inward, to the Heart. It feels like all the adrenaline or whatever passes for a fight or flight trigger mechanism in your being's soul is activated all at once.
DANGER DANGER DANGER it shouts, urging you to take action or to flee to the furthest ends of the universe to die. You are not alone in this feeling. That big-ass treething that Bruford sparred with is moving, tearing a hole into the base of hte cliff in it's haste to go Core-ward. Other Omega entities are likewise arming for battle.
