Kaine returned to Sector Phoranth-9 with unprecedented support.
Not just Emma and Keiko. The collective guardian—39 former Absolutes unified. The guardian-network—thousands of transformed predators. Her mother. The Awakened. Archive consciousness. Tessern. Everyone. Every being she'd connected with. Every consciousness she'd transformed. Every guardian she'd created. Every supporter she'd gathered. Everyone came. Everyone supported. Everyone witnessed. Everyone participated.
Unprecedented gathering. Unprecedented support. Unprecedented attempt. Unprecedented everything.
They approached the first Absolute together. Thousands of consciousnesses unified in purpose. Thousands of beings supporting single transformation. Thousands of guardians enabling final attempt. Thousands of everything supporting ultimate transformation.
