Retribution

Chapter 3, titled "Retribution", is the third chapter of the original published version of The OMEGA Subject. It was published on May 17, 2019, on Fanfiction.net.

Summary
The chapter begins with an insight into the OMEGA's mind as it is being wheeled into its cell. After waiting, it breaks free of the strap over its torso and begins to thrash wildly, attempting to break the ones around its neck, arms, and legs. Serap Verzand is contacted by one of the soldiers escorting it shortly before the OMEGA breaks free fully and kills them. Serap activates the alarm and rushes to evacuate all of the doctors and scientists. Once he reaches them, however, he discovers all of them daid except for Arthur Watts. Watts disables all of the automatons in the facility before targeting Serap.

The OMEGA, meanwhile, is busy killing all that gets in its way. As the Paladin it was fighting topples to the ground, it detects the scent of its Mother, Salem. It turns to find Watts approaching it. Watts names him Apollyon before telling him that he can take him to his Mother. Apollyon follows him out of the Station and to a Bullhead holding Cinder Fall. The two board and Cinder and Watts enter a conversation about the Alpha's origins and new augmentations. During their conversation, OLYMPUS self-destructs and Watts reveals he is the cause. During the conversation, Apollyon falls asleep and Watts explains the new energy needs of Subjects and how that correlates to sleep. After that, the chapter ends.
