Whoa. Amazing. Just amazing. Is this how the Omega series ends?
Author's Response:
There's definitely plenty more to come.

I'm not usually keen on murder, but there's always something about hand crush that I can't help but appreciate.
In any case, neat chapter as always. I can't help but think I've heard the surname Reynolds from you before..
You've done a great job creating the tension that always envelopes situations like these. I can't wait for more.
Author's Response:
Thanks! Crush isn't usually my thing either, but it fits the story here.

The hostage takers have control of the security systems : how did they not see a couple of freaking Omegas walk to the building ? Close enough to smash through a wall and grab one of them ?
And yeah, the fact that Jenna was one of the two was, by itself, a recipe for catastrophe.
Author's Response:
Alice definitely did see the Omegas out there, though she's handling a lot of work at the same time, and may not have been watching the cameras at that moment to realize Jenna was so close to the same hallway as Randall. There was enough margin for error there that Jenna could've moved in, found him, and broke in before Alice could connect the dots. Thanks for reading/reviewing!

I might by missing a few memories but this the first time I truly recall Betas being brutally murdered in such a way, well I kind of forgot about the mother and daughter etc.
Still good show.
Author's Response:
This is really the first time we've seen it in-scene in the timeline where most of the stories take place. Thanks for reading!

I kind of agree with Pkong in this case. What the Aegis forces did was incredibly reckless and will only get more beta's killed. A loose cannon like Jenna in a hostage crisis is asking for trouble.
Author's Response:
There definitely were a lot of risks involved no matter what they did. And we will see Jenna having to face up to her choice later on.

I hope the next chapter starts with a bunch of betas getting executed. Not because I ant to see them hurt, but because it is a logical and predicatble consequense of launching poorly thought out attacks on hostage takers, before securing the hostages. Seriously, what were they thinking? You don't attack hostage takers until your sure you can get all of them, otherwise hostages die!
If I were them I would start executing hostages until they give back the guy they captured, idiot though he was. What bad police work.
Author's Response:
It's a fair concern you bring up. I think what has to be taken into consideration is the context of this dystopian world, where history for Alphas and Betas has proven that, with no communications opened up and no way to know what they're up against, failing to act often does mean everyone dies anyway. It's not a perfect plan, for sure, but that's why they're doing it.

Oh, I'm looking forward to the grudge match between Halle and Tricia. It's bound to be the catfight to end all catfights!
Author's Response:
We'll definitely see some of the ladies of this story coming to blows before it's over. Thanks for reviewing!
