Subject: Questions about the Monotruth
Greetings, Victor Wolfe.
First of all, allow me to congratulate you on your accomplishments within Dante's Abyss. I, for one, could be called a fan of your work. Truthfully, must we evaluate victory in such a limited scope as those dictated by Karl Jak? Some may have walked away with treasures, but you, my friend, walked away with renown. That is a gift that is not so easily won.
But, please do excuse my enthusiasm. I am happy to answer whatever questions you might have regarding my plans and ideas for the Omniverse.
Your first question is, perhaps, the most difficult, as it is largely existential in nature. I believe, perhaps, that your confusion stems from differing perspectives on what the word 'Omniscient' means. I posit that, within the Ommiverse, The Smiling One knows everything that is, but he does not know everything that will be. Even if he did, would he then not be just as much a slave to fate as we would be?
Regarding his possible counteractions against our future endeavors, I personally find it better to try and be bested than to live in complacency. Perhaps my vision for the Omniverse is a doom-driven task, but I cannot simply stand idle in the face of such a clear challenge.
I am glad that you have found your time in the Omniverse to be as empowering as you have. Perhaps I could even understand feeling indebted to The Smiling One for essentially saving your life. If you were to humor my theories, however, you might come to realize that you did not, in fact, escape your doom, being only copied from that point in your life, and not 'taken' wholesale. Or...perhaps against all odds, you did escape your ensured death. We will never know, though, because Omni has decided you would make a fitting accessory to his whims, and therefore has forced your hand into leading a new life. A prison can be as succulent a paradise as any fabled Nirvana, but can you truly say you live your life in freedom? This, I cannot tell you; it is your own answer to find.
I have considered seeking an audience with King Gilgamesh for the purposes of collaborating a general improvement for the status quo of the Endless Dunes. I was planning on making more overt strides towards such negotiation when the time comes to install a chapter of the Institute within its sands.
Regarding your chosen profession, I will not be the one to tell you cannot take a life if you so choose. It is not my intention to act as the warden of our mutual prison, not will I presume to try and dictate what is 'right' and 'wrong'. I do, however, find it necessary for our Secondary brothers and sisters to have an acceptable measure of consideration within the Omniverse. A fundamental groundwork for a legal system will go a long way in my eyes.
Regarding your inquiries on currency, again, I cannot presume to be able to provide all possible solutions for any given problem. To do so would remove other primes and secondaries from a chance to give their perspectives and input. True, I intend to lend my insight to any potential 'Omnidollar' that may come to pass, but it is not my place to be a total dictator.
As for explaining why I have the drive to achieve what I desire, I can only say that I strive to see and draw out the full potential of anything that I encounter. As it stands, the Omniverse is desperately hampered in its ability to be more than a collection of partitioned nations and biomes. The Smiling One is the barrier we must slowly dig our way through to become a fully realized society.
Your thoughts and questions are pleasingly well structured; it would be my pleasure to offer you a place in the Omniverse Institute within the Unity Branch. Please, if you have more questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
I look forward to our future ventures,
With regard,
Nealaphh

And, we dream of home I dream of life out of here Their dreams are small My dreams don't know fear I got my heart full of hope I will change everything No matter what I'm told How impossible it seems We did it before And we'll do it again We're indestructible Even when we're tired And we've been here before Just you and I
Don't try to rescue me I don't need to be rescued
Don't try to rescue me I don't need to be rescued
