Whatever happened to OMCOM?

OMCOM played a very important role in Rome's Revolution. He was Rei's first contact with the Vuduri civilization. He was instrumental in getting Rome Cesdiud (cast out) so that she could override the Casimir pump restrictions in the memron fabricator. He invented the concept of the VIRUS units although he used the Socratic method to lead Rei to design them.

When the Stareater attacked Skyler Base and OMCOM transferred his consciousness into the mass of VIRUS units, he became what is now called Planet OMCOM.

He's shown up at various points via his null-fold relays. He guided MINIMCOM when he first became a starship. He supervised the destruction of MASAL. He supplied a clone to serve as the data storage device for Rome's library. He even told Rei and Rome they had to produce a daughter named Lupe in the next few years.

But other than those minor interactions, what has he been doing out there, orbiting the remains of Tabit for all these years? Nobody knows. And you won't find out until 2014 when the last novel in the series, The Milk Run, is released.

Needless to say, it will surprise you!
