### Summary of Events

#### The Kurtherian Gambit

In ***Life Goes On*** while the BYPS are being laid the pilots encounter a Kurtherian that wants to speak to TOM. This Kurtherian is nick named by Bethany Anne as ***Glorious PITA'*** the name they give to TOM and BA is never mentioned. Glorious PITA wishes to Ascend and since TOM is a Pilot he gives the information on the Path to Ascension to them.

#### The Empress' Spy

In ***Diplomatic Agent*** Phina discovers the trader in the Spy Corps that has been working against the Empire and the Kurtheriane behind them. When she is pulled into the Etheric the Kurtherian reveals herself as **Glorious Penitent in Transcendence to Ascension**.

#### The Kurtherian Endgame

When the Ooken begin attacking Bethany Anne's people she eventually discovers that there is one Kurtherian behind them and that Kutherian has taken control of all of the remaining seven clans.

At the end of ***Finish What You Started*** at a secret meeting of the Kurtherian 7 ...

*Gödel had culled those whose obsession with the moral high ground overrode their good sense to keep them all out of Death’s crosshairs.*
*Gödel’s entourage entered first. Two carried her throne onto the dais, and the other four fanned out at the base of the steps and raised their glowing hands to the roof. “Rejoice in supplication,” they proclaimed. “Gödel has come.”*
*No one present knew their leader’s true designation.*
In ***Enter Into Valhalla*** when Bethany Anne frees Qu’Baka from the Kurtherans her and Michael find a chest full of crystals that are Kurtherian memory chips.

Gödel sets a trap for her within an Etheric Storm/Rift that would put Bethany Anne into an emotional loop for eternity, but it failed because of her attachments to the living.

In ***The Valkyrie Returns*** When Gödel goes after her library, the chest of crystals that Bethany Anne and Michael had recovered from Qu’Baka, the AI Izanami caught her aboard the QBS Baba Yaga. Gödel dismissed her a being nothing, since she wasn’t a biological, but Izanami wasn’t so easy to dismiss and she infected Gödel with some kind of virus which her nanocytes couldn’t neutralize.

At one point in this story, Gödel gloats over how she had fooled TOM, who she often referred to as a "heretic" ...

In ***Promises Kept***, Gödel is obviously going more insane, thinking to enact revenge against “Death” (Bethany Anne), she prepares to descend on “Earth” with a hoard of genetically altered "Skrima".

But while she is preparing for that mission,  Bethany Anne’s armada is complete and they set out to destroy the factories that they know about and hopefully find information on the rest of them.

35 years later -

Phina has located the Temple of the Ascension Path and TOM recognizes it as once being Azzhur clan’s capital city that has been ripped from it home planet.

The clone of Gödel was killed by Phina and her entire library was captured before the temple was destroyed. But no sign of the original was found.

In ***The Bitch Is Back***
*Almost a hundred and fifty years had passed since she had taken the cream of the Federation's military and pointed them guns-first at the Kurtherians.*
