Arel and Sile knew what impact their actions would have on their families, but they would rather freedom of choice, rather than living a life decided by others. They had focused their attention on the new designs of the robots they would be manufacturing. Getting set up was never going to be difficult for them. With how easy technology was to use nowadays, they could have the factory manufacturing within a few weeks.
There was a reason that the most abundant job in the empire were soldiers, because humanity's only advantage over technology was their cunning. Deception was an absolute necessity for war, and robots had not advanced to the stage where they were capable of cunning, perhaps because technology hadn't advanced enough, or humanity just wouldn't allow it.
Either way, people still had places that were beneficial to them. Stroking their fragile egos. At the moment the two omegas were finalising the designs for the farming robots. Arel and Sile had chosen a degree in mechanical engineering when they started university. They knew it was integral that they understood every step of a machines construction, they would definitely need it.
Now, the two omegas had already brainstormed the design, and drawn blueprints. If the empire knew that machines that could complete their long wished idea for mass production of vegetables, fruits and grains, were about to be created by two runaway omegas, they would probably berate the two families that didn't take them as treasures.
They both scoured through ancient Earth texts about farming. This knowledge was hidden away by their families. They probably didn't even know books on the subject existed in the vast family libraries, which allowed the two a general direction to go, instead of the blind tests the government's agriculture department were doing.
Watching the blueprints they designed slowly begin to take shape in front of them, the two omegas that were always calm finally showed excitement befitting of their age. After all, the two were only twenty years old.
The robot was quickly completed. A hulking monster of technology, it dwarfed them. It's size comparable to those ancient earth movers that the mines of old would use. It looked like less of a damping machine, and more like a giant Terra forming colossus.
Now they had discovered a problem. They had arbitrarily assumed that their storage device could carry a few of these Goliath's, but now they seem to have realised that wasn't going to be possible. The only way they could think of was letting the spacecraft carry it to the next planet. So Arel took on the job of ferrying these machines over while Sile kept a lookout for any problems on the mining planet.
Machine after machine was attached to the bottom of the spacecraft using the tractor beam. Sile watched as they disappeared into the sky, while new machines were being fabricated non stop.
Arel piloted the ship to their liveable planet. She didn't start the machines when she put them down. This was something she wanted to witness with Sile. The process didn't take long, more and more farming machines were brought over, and after the last one was taken, Sile boarded the spacecraft. The two needed to wait and see if there was enough ore to set up their planetary defense system, so they stopped manufacturing the farming machines.
Taking the last one over, they finally returned to the serene planet they had accidentally discovered years ago. They finally had the chance to take off their spacesuits, and looking at their sweaty lovers, the both of them couldn't help laughing at each other.
Stepping down onto the small hill, Arel turned to Sile and said with the most radiant smile, "We're home, Sile".
Sile couldn't stop her eyes reddening. She embraced Arel, letting the tears fall, responding with a peck on her lovers beautiful face.
The two still had many things to do before they could relax. They needed a house to live in, and the land needed to be reclaimed for farming, but today they had done enough, they needed a break. They had been exhausted for the last month, and right now they just wanted to rest in each other's embrace.
They both went back to the bedroom on the spacecraft. Although it was a tight squeeze, the two lovers didn't mind if they had to squeeze closer.
After the arduous day, they fell asleep almost as soon as their heads touched the pillow. Their pheromones which were always biologically incompatible even felt comforting at the moment. The two fell into a long and pleasant slumber, their bodies intertwined.
Back in Erdime, the sound of objects breaking sounded in one of the estates of the noble district.
"How dare that slut run off with another Omega?!" a terrifyingly deep man's voice roared.
"Why is Master angry over a mere Omega", spoke a gentle voice, but if you listened closely, it was easy to notice the trembling in the voice.
The male Omega was one of Eric's many concubines. As long as the main position was held by the fiancee, the other family didn't much care how many other bed partners the alpha had.
This was the first time Eric had been so humiliated, he was born in a noble family, the grandson of the great duke, who was a war hero the empire admired. No one had ever embarrassed him to this point. A mere Omega chose to escape with another Omega instead of obediently marrying him. How could he not be angry?
His political rivals had gone about making sure everyone knew that his fiancee would rather be with an Omega than him. Catching the slight trembling coming from the male Omega in front of him made him furious. He stepped forward and repeatedly slapped the delicate Omega in front of him.
"Why do you tremble? Am I not treating you well enough? You have money and status, what more does a useless thing like you deserve?"
The male Omega was used to this treatment. Eric was a very violent alpha, and many of the omegas he kept were beaten by him, just so he could vent his anger. The male Omega just curled into a ball, trying to restrain the painful gasps that wanted to escape. If you showed a reaction, you'd only get beaten harder, so he just let the tears silently fall, his teeth biting desperately on his bottom lip.
After what seemed like an eternity, Eric seemed to get bored, spat on him and left. He just laid there bruised and bleeding, envying the rumoured fiancee that managed to escape the fate of marrying this lunatic.
