What it is?
The Chronological File organized the HITS from a textual order to a chronological order. It also serves as the foundation for the chapters.
Hits referring the future is to be understood as to be referring to the exact moment in which they appear on the list below.
Notes
The size of the chapters When you make the chapters you have to keep in mind that they should not overflow the maximum word limit allowed for the book.
As a rule of thumb, more interesting chapters must be bigger and the least interesting chapters must be smaller. In any case, they all should end in an interesting way, making the reader want more.

The entire voyage back to RT-874 would last around twelve years, an interim in which Elijah discovered many things about the secret.
0032
Kallom-4000 used the last mathboosters to go to Mike’s position.
0033
Kallom-4000 tried to fix the problem with the cohesion system, but couldn’t.

Act 1 - Somewhere in nowhere. Begins with Mike waking up in Akrabizont-22 and ends with the crew discovering the nature of all that mystery.
0035
Mike woke up in Akrabizont-22 (not the first time), the only crewmember who still could have access to RT-874.
0036
Exposition: Mike wakes up in Akrabizont-22. Mike wakes up in the middle of the desert remembering nothing. [flag]

0041
(BEGINNING HOOK) Mike began suffering weird states and reality jumps even before rescuing Felix.
0042
Inciting incident: Back to the omniship. Mike finds omniship RT-874 after so long time in Akrabizont-22. [flag]
0043
(BEGINNING HOOK) Mike finally got back to the omniship.
0044
Mike played with the switches on the Cohesion System’s panel as soon as he entered the omniship for the first time.

0046
The crew started reuniting.
0047
TUZ-66941 discovered the truth about Kymintus
0048
The crew started reporting strange “states of consciousnesses” and that sometimes were literally reality jumps.
0049
Crew started reporting strange states and reality jumps.
0050
Due to the faltering cohesion system, as the crew began reuniting, they would all, in some way or another, experience weird states and reality jumps.
0051
Reality jumps started to happen more often.
0052
The crew remained ignorant about the mission since they never got the chance of visiting the Base under Rüdolf’s guidance.
0053
The mission about the five checkpoints was discovered.
0054
The crew started to realize that in that place they experienced many different pleasures that similar they had never experienced, not even as full syrakis.
0055
TUZ-66941 discovered that the four megacorporations were acting in collusion to mask the t-signal of some syrakis. Remember always that they were never evil, but this comes from game theory.
0056
Later they will learn about the Milliarium Aureum Principle and the cohesion system.
0057
After learning about the Milliarium Aureum Principle and the cohesion system, Mike will remember that he had almost hit the irreversible level if not for the automatic countermeasures.
0058
They learned that the problem with reality jumps was connected to the cohesion system.
0059
TUZ-66941 unveiled the purpose of the t-signals’ masking, which was to hide the fact that some syrakis were permanently lost in the expeditionary missions.
0060
Act 2 - We will never get back home. Begins with Mike experiencing the critical error that cast him into an alien world for many days. Ends with the reactivation of Kallom-4000 (by Rüdolf), who finally fixed the problem with the cohesion system.
0061
Outside the Brains' Cage. They find the disturbing truth. It's after this point when they get some notion of what is actually going on, but it's still a very incipient notion.
0062
Mike suffered his longest reality jump.
0063
Mike's great collapse. Mike's worst collapse happens and he stays in other reality for long. The experience complete shatters his remaining notion of safety. [disaster]
0064
(CLIMAX) Mike suffered his longest jump.
0065
Oshiro rescued Mike from the alien world.
0066
Through Felix’s reflection the crew got to know about the fact that they might have been stuck in alien worlds for thousands of years, or more, even though in the omniship’s reality only a few seconds have passed.
0067
Oshiro counterbalanced the problem with the reality jumps.
0068
Oshiro developed a palliative for the problem just after Mike’s longest jump and the intensity of the problem diminished greatly.
0069
Lucia decided to focus on the rescuing of the crewmembers and just then go into the mission.
0070
As the crew started reuniting, for long they still believed they were in normal space.
0071
Members of the crew began reporting strange states and reality jumps.
0072
(BEGINNING HOOK) The crew found Captain Rüdolf’s logs and learned about the mission no one knew about.
0073
At the time of the discovery of the logs, neither Elijah nor Rüdolf were present and the main database remained inaccessible.
0074
At the discovery of the logs, for the first time the crew was explicitly warned about the Milliarium Aureum Principle and decohesion.
0075
Elijah returned to RT-874.
0076
Elijah came back to RT-874.
0077
Elijah reunited with the crew.
0078
At the time of his return, Elijah was still deeply disturbed by what he has witnessed in Akrelabium.
0079
Elijah came back with ZF-78 and tried to convince the crew to return immediately to the Brains' Cage, despite knowing about the Milliarium Aureum Principle.
0080
Lucia ordered the investigation on Elijah.
0081
Susan will disappear somewhere along the way as a victim of the cohesion system’s malfunctioning.
0082
On the investigation, the crew unveiled that Elijah sent Rüdolf to Akrelabium, but they still didn’t know anything about Akrelabium.
0083
The crew eventually learned that Elijah knew about Rüdolf and forced him to reveal that he was in Akrelabium.
0084
They learn that Rüdolf was in the last checkpoint, Akrelabium.
0085
The crew still did not know Elijah held an IBCR/High Plaza oversight assignment.
0086
Elijah didn’t reveal how Rüdolf was sent to Akrelabium and instead explained he was trying to rescue Rüdolf.
0087
Later they will discover the luck they had not hitting the irreversible level due to going astray from the mission.
0088
When Lucia decided to engage the mission, all the crewmembers were rescued, with the exception of Vladimir, Ismael, and Rüdolf. Susan disappeared.
0089
After the end of Mike’s investigation on Elijah, he and Lucia will suspect that Elijah triggered the pistol at Rüdolf, but that will be confirmed only later, on Elijah’s arrest by Rüdolf. The pistol came with Elijah inside the ZF-78.
0090
(CLIMAX) The crew visited the Observatory.
0091
Midpoint: They enter the Observatory. This is when the crew realizes that something very, very strange is going on, as it is clear they are not in normal space. Worse than anything is the fact that Kallom-4000 reveals that what they are seeing is indeed just a computational projection based on the navigational data they are experiencing. Instead, there is nothing outside the sphere, just oblivion.
0092
(BEGINNING HOOK) They reached the Vortex and it was quite suspicious that the checkpoints pointed to super pleasures. [Updated: Checkpoints 1, 2, and 3 were not super pleasures, but due to the amount of super pleasures in the Vortex and Akrelabium, they hypothesize that one, but always contrasting this with the fact that companies are ethical. They will not believe the companies sacrificed them for that.]
0093
(CLIMAX) They started suspecting from KJH-444’s logs that Theravada was really after the super pleasures, but stil trying to find an ethical explanation for that. The reader must realize how ethical the Complex truly is.
0094
No way back home. They realize that there is no way they will come back home, which affects the morale of the entire crew. They prove that the space in which they are is not a normal space or anything physical, but can only be thought in some abstract mathematical manner.
0095
The discovery of Terra Incognita. Trying to rescue Vladimir, they discover the existence of Terra Incognita and realize that their situation is much worse than they thought. Despite their many attempts, the nature of that place is unfathomable and 'pataphysical.
0096
Many worlds. Through Oshiro's research they finally discover the existence of an infinitude of hellworlds alongside paradises and many other types of existence in that 'pataphyisical world. That is a disaster because, alongside those worlds, they also unveil the existence of an infinitude of other Earths and even Universes (like our own), which is totally nonsense. With so many parallel realities, they have no idea how they could return home. It is only later that they will understand that their actual home is actually in the last coordinates of their mission, which leads to the Brains' Cage following the Milliarium Aureum Principle.
0097
Oshiro unlocked Room 0554 and the crew learned all they had to learn via Ivan Oblonsky.
0098
Oshiro opened room 0554.
0099
The crew will only learn why Theravada was after the super pleasures after the meeting with Ivan Oblonsky. It is actually a red herring, part of trying to understand the nature of that place.
0100
AI Oblonsky talked about the dispute among the megacorporations for the control of the reality artistry’s market and how it led to the discovery of that place.
0101
(ENDING PAYOFF) AI Oblonsky confirmed that Theravada was after those alien pleasures, especially super pleasures, but as part of the bigger scientific research effort to ethically understand that place.
0102
They learned from Ivan Oblonsky that the mapped alien pleasures needed filtering.
0103
The crew finally understood where they were.
0104
AI Ivan Oblonsky also suggested that the crash happened due to a possible q-hole overlooked by Theravada, despite the many tests they performed to guarantee the crew's safety.
0105
Rising action: They learn what that place is. After being able to access the documents on the Base and seeing all the research Theravada had done, they finally understand all that is happening.
0106
They will eventually discover the ultimate objective of Theravada: Akrelabium.
0107
Lucia insisted in saving Rüdolf.
0108
Lucia set her mind to save Rüdolf no matter what.
0109
(BEGINNING HOOK) TUZ-66941 learns about the hellworlds, how the corporations cannot guarantee the safety of their crews despite the massive research and investiments on their projects.
0110
Elijah stole the omniship, trying to get back to the Brains' Cage all by himself. It was an act out of despair, not malice.
0111
(CLIMAX) Elijah stole the omniship out of fear.
0112
(ENDING PAYOFF) At this point the crew both knew where they were as well as suspected about some sabotage, which would be both unthinkable and irredeemable.
0113
The omniship was recovered by Lucia and Elijah was arrested.
0114
Lucia recovered the omniship with the help of the other crewmembers still on board.
0115
TUZ-66941 had a serious conversation with CEO Jabari about what was happening and threatened to arrest ver, but CEO Jabari threatened war instead. This is not because CEO Jabari was evil, but because ve loved the Complex so much ve is willingly to go to such extents.
0116
TUZ-66941 and CEO Jabari made the deal.
0117
Mike and Susan were saved as Lucia returned for them. They were stranded investigating a RUN when Elijah decided to steal the omniship.
0118
The next checkpoint after the arrest of Elijah was Akrelabium, the last checkpoint of the mission.
0119
They headed towards the last checkpoint: Akrelabium.
0120
They parsed Akrelabium for the first time and it seemed heaven-like. It reaches Prif positive levels much higher than anything syrakis knew, something mindblowing.
0121
Rüdolf was rescued, but now looked a different person.
0122
(BEGINNING HOOK) Rüdolf was rescued, but he was no more the same person from before.
0123
They rescued Rüdolf using the technology of the pistol.
0124
After the rescue of Rüdolf, the crew continued their mission of mapping as many super pleasures from Akrelabium as possible.
0125
Reports began of Rüdolf talking to verself and saying "You think you can understand, but you can not."
0126
Kallom-4000 will solve the problem definitely after given access by Rüdolf to the main database.
0127
Rüdolf reestablished Kallom-4000’s access to the main database and the problem with the cohesion system was solved.
0128

0129
(ENDING PAYOFF) Rüdolf unlocked the main database for Kallom-4000 and the problem with the cohesion system was permanently fixed by the AI.
0130
Mike started suspecting Rüdolf.
0131
Beatriz reported signs of Stockholm syndrome in Rüdolf’s psychological profile.
0132
Beatriz concluded that Rüdolf’s psychological profile matched the one of Stockholm syndrome and that he was severely abused in the world he was stuck in, but she cannot prove it.
0133
Rüdolf began to be plagued by schizophrenic episodes.
0134
Rüdolf said to Beatriz that he was hearing voices and that those voices wanted him to return.
0135
The situation of Rüdolf would decrease until the point Beatriz didn’t know what to do with him anymore. He could still operate, but was acting increasingly strange.
0136
TUZ-66941 discovered the vast amount of data about that place the Central Algorithm had amassed since its discovery, hundreds of years before.
0137
One day, and suddenly, Rüdolf seemed to get well and the first thing he did was to beat the hell up of Elijah and detain him under mission security terms. That was extremely frightening for all the syrakis, for a syraki never ever hurts another without their consent.
0138
Rüdolf unmasks Elijah as an embedded IBCR/High Plaza observer.
0139
(CLIMAX) Rüdolf beat the hell out of Elijah and forced him to reveal the oversight plan of IBCR and High Plaza.
0140
The crew learned from Rüdolf about Elijah's IBCR/High Plaza oversight role.
0141
Rüdolf proved Elijah was an embedded IBCR observer.
0142
Elijah was formally detained by Rüdolf under mission security terms.
0143
Elijah was detained under Theravada's mission security protocol.
0144
Despite the pressure of his arrest, Elijah guaranteed that he hadn’t sabotaged the route of RT-874. He would never do that.
0145
Act 3 - A place of horror. Begins with Rüdolf proving that Elijah held an IBCR/High Plaza oversight role. Ends with they returning to the Complex, to the Brains' Cage.
0146

0148
The horrific event with Elijah happened and he died.
0149
Elijah’s horrific event happened.
0150
Elijah's event. Elijah's horrific event happened, making the crew experience the horror even more. Elijah was actually not killed, but randomly transported using the pistol.
0151
(ENDING PAYOFF) The crew considered the mission completed and decided to head back home.
0152
TUZ-66941 discovered about the lost crew of omniship RT-874.
0153
TUZ-66941 confronted Jabari about the crew of RT-874, stating that there was still a way for recovering them.
0154
TUZ-66941 revealed to Jabari that Akrelabium was deemed a hellworld by the Central Algorithm, which no one knew. That disturbs even Jabari.
0155
Mike noticed a twisted sexual arousal from Rüdolf as they described Elijah’s suffering.
0156
The mission was already completed when they decided to go back after Elijah’s horrific event.
0157
The crew considered the mission completed and started to head back to the Brains' Cage.
0158
Rüdolf tried to convince the crew to return to Akrelabium, but to no avail. He tries to convince the crew in that idea that Akrelabium will bring true transcendence.
0159
Mike saw Rüdolf’s fiendish red eyes for a brief moment.
0160
Eternal damnation. They realize Akrelabium is actually a malignant place. They need to get out of there as fast as possible. [disaster]
0161
(CLIMAX) Rüdolf stole the omniship and set a route back to Akrelabium.
0162
Climax: Rüdolf's betrayal. Rüdolf betrays them to the Akrelabians, making the crew believe that that will be their forever doom. [flag]
0163
(CLIMAX) Rüdolf revealed himself and tried to immolate the whole crew in the final battle.
0164
Rüdolf revealed more details about his torments, including that he hadn’t been there for just a few months, but millions of years.
0165
Rüdolf, in his final madness, revealed that it was he who immolated Elijah to the Akrelabians and that he intended to do the same to the whole crew.
0166
Rüdolf initiated the auto-destruction sequence.
0167
Rüdolf set the auto-destruction sequence.
0168
Kallom-4000 suggested abandoning RT-874 for ZF-78.
0169
They uploaded Kallom-4000 to ZF-78 and fled in that omniship. The ZF-78 was not prepared for more than one person, but since they are close to Brain's Cage, they risk it out of despair.
0170
The crew fled from Rüdolf’s craziness inside the ZF-78.
0171
Rüdolf disappeared alongside RT-874 in an intense multicolored flash.
0172
(ENDING PAYOFF) The omniship RT-874 exploded with Rüdolf inside as the crew flew away with ZF-78.
0173
The ZF-78 could not sustain and was about to decohese, but they received the help from TUZ-66941.
0174
(CLIMAX) TUZ-66941 helped the crew reconfigure the route back to the Brains' Cage.
0175
Denouement: The return. They finally begin returning to the Brains' Cage. [flag]
0176
(ENDING PAYOFF) They returned to the Brains' Cage, to “their reality.”
0177
From all the crew members, Rüdolf, Susan, Vladimir, Ismael, Elijah, and Naifa (whom they rescued and was not an original crewmember from RT-874) never came back.
0178
(ENDING PAYOFF) TUZ-66941 was deactivated by the Central Algorithm.
0179
Talking with CEO Jabari, Mike privately confirmed that it wasn’t a q-hole neglected by Theravada what caused the crash, but the omniship was actually sabotaged.
0180
By the end of the book CEO Jabari suggested that mysterious forces were behind the sabotage on RT-874., but they may never know whom.
0181
Mike meets Dury again and experiences extreme pleasure and love.
0182
The Central Algorithm and CEO Jabari had their philosophical conversation.
0183
The last mind-blowing scene took place.
