With this UPDATE, both novels are brought to their conclusion.

1ST Transcendence: Chapters 46 to 54

Baktor arrives aboard the Arcielle and quickly explains the true intentions of the Neologues planned extinction of Earth. He bonds quickly with Fred as they decide how to escape the planned attack by the Neo1. Ginger immobilizes the Milito guard sent to control Baktor so that they may prepare the escape. On board the Neo 1, Tranche has taken control after exposing Baktor’s communications with the Arcielle, ousting Gargan as the new Supreme Doleur. Both Gargan and Jonathon are placed in the truthtelling machine as Tranche initiates the torture of both. However, Johnathon’s nanobiotic entity absorbs the energy ultimately tranforming him into a pure energy being as the Arcielle begins its escape with the Neo1 in pursuit. The nanobots positioned on the Neo 1 note a point of vulnerablity which Baktor and Fred exploit sending the Neo 1 into their own mine field. The story ends with Baktor and Fred combining their skills and knowledge to make the Arcielle an even better space ship as it heads back to earth. And Ginger is left with a transcendent legacy by Jonathon who is left behind to meet the coming Neo Fleet.
