Damon confirms Omega’s destruction

Damon enters the computer room to deliver the end of the crisis as Omega’s anti-matter core is neutralised.

The threat lifted, the Doctor’s mission is fulfilled yet the universe’s scars remain. Every political and existential debt hangs in the air, now unpaid but no longer explosive. key_dialogue: [ DAMON: The anti-matter source is gone. Omega has been destroyed. BORUSA: Unfortunate, wretched creature. My hope is that he has found peace at last. ]
