As for whether it is alive, I will not count this question. I have determined it is the same thing as asking "Is it a species".

18 Questions remaining.

Was it seen in a production produced before "Second Chances"?

It's natural, but less that double Frank's mass, and not a humanoid life-form. That's a tough one.

I'd go for those quantum singularity aliens in "Timescape". That's an official guess.

I think it's a good idea not to allow asking of "Is it alive?" or "Is it artificial?". It makes it too easy.

Ahem..... it appears that I screwed up. After visiting the episode list, it appears that the SSA appeared in an Episode BEFORE Lessons. Not after.

That means that all of Omega's Questions are null and void.

So.......

- It is not larger than double of Frank's Mass
- It did not appear in more than one episode
- It did not appear before the start of DS9
- It did appear before the start of Voyager
- It was not in DS9
- It is not Artificial.
- It was not seen in Season 7 of TNG
- It is not a humanoid Lifeform.
- It is not the Nexus
- It WAS in an episode before "Lessons"

Still 18 questions left.

As for the artificial thing, we do have Artificial Lifeforms, namely Data and Lal, and we also have natural Anomalies, such as Tykens Rift. I wouldn't discount that question yet.

Did it appear in an episode produced before "Tapestry"?

Guess: The bio-mimetic (or whatever it was called) life form from "Aquiel".

*mutters* that was TOO easy. Wait until my next one!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA
