Chapter Eighteen: The End of Life on Omicron Theta
One day the reports began to pour in. It turned out that the Crystalline Entity was very real and was rapidly attacking the other side of the planet. At the rate of destruction, it was calculated that they had approximately six hours to evacuate. Alarms sounded and the colonists began to execute their evacuation procedures. Most of them clearly voiced their opinion that the attack was a result of Lore's final assault on the colony. They felt that he deliberately summoned the Entity to attack them.
A huge group of colonists lined up outside of Dr. Soong's lab with memories, records, documents and other information they wished to preserve in the event of their destruction. Dr. Soong worked as quickly as he could to load all of the information into Data's memory banks. Once all of the records and memories were successfully transferred, Juliana and Dr. Soong traveled to the escape pod with Data in tow. When they finally reached the pod, Juliana broke down. Lore's terrifying words stuck with her and she was petrified that Data would turn out like him. She eventually convinced Dr. Soong to leave him behind.
When the dust finally settled on the ravaged planet, all that remained was an android that lay outside of the hidden laboratory. There was also an identical android inside of the lab, waiting for the day of his reassembly.
