What Does a Viable M-Count Mean for Omega?
“Shadows of Tantiss” climaxed Omega and Crosshair’s escape from Weyland with the revelation that Nala Se had been destroying Omega’s blood samples to avoid one major revelation: Omega had a viable M-Count for Project Necromancer. Which would mean, presumably, were she to awaken to it, Omega is capable of wielding the Force in some manner, perhaps even significantly so.
This is maybe not surprising—ever since Bad Batch began, the theories around what made Omega as much a “defect” as the other members of Clone Force 99 have swirled around the idea of her being a clone with high Force sensitivity. Although subtle in many ways, she’s regularly been shown to be empathetic beyond just normal means, able to intuit emotions and feelings around events before they occur, which were all seen as potential instances of an untrained Force user using their skills without fully realizing it. It seems that with Bad Batch season three preparing us to expect its endgame to swirl around events at Mount Tantiss, at some point Omega is going to take her first steps into an even larger world she’s escaped back into.
