Have you tried anything? for a start you can use a Basic: as a flag and only print newlines when your extended newly created line ends line ends
Code:
awk 'FNR==1  {printf("%s ", $0); next }    # print the first line with no newline  and continue reading the next line first time we see Basic:
       /Basic:$/  {print ""}  # print new line because we already came to the end, this is the second time we see Basic:
       Here you print each line with no newline - you code it.
       END{print "" }   # print the last newline   because there are no more line to read
      '  inputfile > outputfile
