True, but the problem is that the movie presents some theories like Reading Steiner differently than the VN, in which case it is probably better to refer to the VN. You still claimed that only Okabe possesses the Reading Steiner, which according to the source material is wrong. As I said, the difference is the "power" of Reading Steiner, which leads to those deja vus in people that don´t have one as powerful as Okabe´s. About the fever, while it isn´t proven, it is very likely to be the root cause behind Okabe´s Reading Steiner, seeing as he described both to be similar multiple times in the VN.

The butterfly effect also affects S;G though. Even if we only mix the Alpha and Beta AFs, the way the characteristics from both will interact with each other is still unknown and might lead to something completely different than the individual AFs. The Omega AF happened because Okabe tried to merge the "good" points from two different alpha world lines (the one where he receives the IBN and the one where Faris´ father is alive), but the resulting changes were big enough to change the AF. And the same could have happened with the S;G worldline, which as you said, merges characteristics from Alpha and Beta, which are even further apart than two wordlines on the same AF, and as such, it is not theroetically more dangerous to enter the Omega AF than to enter the S;G, because both were unknown to Okabe before entering them and because Okabe did not expect the resulting change to be this enormous when sending the D-Mail in Faris´ route. Let´s admit it, the S;G was as much a gamble as any other action Okabe took, the Butterfly effect applies to everything with a small change. And while the S;G worldline was "created" in 2010 and the Omega AF in 2000, that merely means that by 2020, the change in he S;G worldline might be as big as the one in the Omega AF, be it positive or negative Change. And we do know that SERN is less powerful. The only reason why SERN managed to rule the world was because of the lab´s experiments. No lab, no SERN dystopia, simple as that. Which is also the very reason why Okabe reached another AF, namely Omega, to begin with. Another dystopia might occur, but the SERN one? Very unlikely.

It was mostly speculation, but I see no real reason for Okabe not to approach Daru and co, especially because him being lovers with Faris automatically allows him to meet both Daru and Mayuri easily. That, or he dies at the hand of 4c or what that guy was called, lol.
