      Traditional conformal geometric algebra (CGA) is well-suited for representing points, point pairs, planes, circles, and spheres. The extension of CGA to an algebra capable of representing quadrics is a topic of current research. This article builds upon an approach by \textit{S. Breuils} et al. [Adv. Appl. Clifford Algebr. 28, No. 2, Paper No. 35, 16 p. (2018; Zbl 1397.15019)] but alters it in a way that allows for consistent embedding of traditional CGA, the construction of quadrics as outer product of nine points, the intersection of quadrics and the transformations of quadrics via versors in usual CGA style. It is this last property that has hitherto been missing in CGA extensions to quadric algebras. It is the most important novel contribution of this article.
