==Plot==
The Transcenders are a group of three individuals who never seemed to exist before the events of the story, and they haven't been heard of ever since.
The story begins on September 2, 2013, when the Transcenders (Gerald, Damien, and Clyde) tour the city of University Place, Washington. They preach about the apocalypse, which they claim is set to occur on August 28, 2019. Some desperate people come to them to take them away from their doomed Earth, while others see their claims as nothing but nonsense. The desperate people are never heard from again, arousing suspicion. These events persist until September 14, 2013.
On September 14, 2013, the Transcenders are apprehended by the police and sent to an asylum. They are placed in straitjackets and confined into separate rooms. They initially react casually, almost positively, though their sanity slowly deteriorates. Their sanity worsens due to their need to return to their dimension of origin after a prolonged expanse of time. None of the guards understand this, and so they allow their sanity to become more dilapidated.
On September 15, 2013, the Transcenders finally go mad. Three individuals are sent into their rooms with cameras to record what is happening. The videos show the Transcenders lashing out and going crazy before a strange noise is heard and the cameras go white, ceasing to function. When the guards investigate, they find nothing except for the cameras. The video files are investigated, though nothing comes of it. Both the Transcenders and the people sent in to record videos remain missing to the present day. Many theories are speculated regarding their disappearances.
The videos are the only evidence of the Transcenders' existence.
