: Stage three Jjarro? Are you referring to those stages of galactic
: civilization on the kardashev scale? Stage 3 means they can only harness
: the power of one galaxy... but they escaped the universe! That's gotta be
: stage 4, at least. Maybe 5, but I doubt they have access to other
: universes. That may be stage 6 though, as stage 5 could be where they can
: tamper with the universe's timelines and stage 4 is just controlling the
: universe, but not time.

No, it's not a Kardashev scale thing. The Jjaro timeline implied in Eternal is one where they pass through three stages:

- an ancient civilization descended from time-traveling humans that got wiped out when they awoke a W'rkncacnter 65mya and then Hathor ruined their attempt to survive it;

- the mind-uploads and AIs that were left over from that civilization, and other similar digital intelligences that joined them, becoming the likes who uplifted the S'pht, Nahk, etc.

- those of such digital minds that found a way to transcend reality itself, and other such transcendent beings who are ideologically aligned with them.

: So did I interpret the hints correctly that Hathor IS the W'rkncacncter?

She becomes *a* W'rkncacnter, inasmuch as the W'rkncacnter are those transcendent beings who can escape space and time that are opposed to the Jjaro's plans and generally seen as (and often really are) insane.
