I think we can all agree that WiH's UT was balls-to-the-wall ABSOLUTELY CUHRAYZHEEEEE! Sorts of awesome. And it was all inside a two-way information network too. Taking the most basic of interpretations, that Great Darkness/worm.pof/THING-THAT-MUST-NOT-BE-THOUGHT has to be some sort of zombie/undead/external/all-devourer Nagari presence, although due to the lack of clarification and Lovecraftian/eldritch properties clarification and thus not giving explanation could very well be justified as 2scary4ourtinyminds.
If Ransom were to update/remake Transcend using current FREDding tools how different might it be presented compared to how it was back when? On that note, and apologies for digressing but the Transcend/Sync forums on GameWarden are dead. I've reasoned there were three distinct facets to the Transcendent:
1. The original pilot who wants to return to before (Through false memories that bled through Of the Sync protag? Sunder shares these as well though realizes he couldn't have taken an assignment to escort two freighters, the Esther and Faerie.)
2. That which seeks to spread its influence across the universe and devour everything. (That which was obtained as the Pegasus crossed multiple planes. The ACTUAL ontostatic ontovoric being, 'the Transcendent? Could be related to THAT THING Noemi shouldn't look back at?')
3. The remnants of the man who once was that wishes for death and brings Sunder and Omicron 2/3 into that subspace node to end it's suffering.
I get the cameo is just that; a cameo and nothing more, but as a guy with Asberger's I tend to overthink like this. Please excuse the fanboying, I love stories like BP/Sync/Transcend.
