	Although Point security claimed to be prepared to apprehand any such thrill seekers, two base jumpers succeeded in parachuting off of Ascendancy Point in May, 2006 (269 AC). In the early morning hours of 17-MAY-06, an unknown jumper made his way to a little-known service hatch, climbed to the very peak, and leapt from the highest point of The Point. Then late night 21-MAY-06, another base jumper by the name of [[Raoul Benton]] attempted to jump off the pinnacle of Ascendancy Point, but hit the side of the building on the nineteenth floor and slid the rest of the way down, sustaining injuries on the way. He was later arrested by police. Raoul insisted he was not the person who successfully completed the jump on the 17th. [[Clarissa Oh]], the last person to attempt such an event, in 2003, was caught before making her way to the top. Such base jumpers are often part of an extreme puzzling movement which attempts to solve difficult puzzles while performing extraordinary physical feats.

			===Operation Bayonet===

			[[Operation Bayonet]] was a "dark" operation by special operatives of the PXC Police Force, headed by [[Helena Frye]]. The operation was launched when the [[Third Power]] kidnapped [[Scarlett Kiteway]]. Police investigations, with the help of the people of Earth, led to the discovery that the Third Power had a base inside of Ascendancy Point. The goals of the operation was to infilitrate this base, rescue any civilians being held as hostage, and hopefully retrieve any information related to the whereabouts of the [[Receda Cube]].

			The operation took place in the early evening hours (GMT) of 30-JAN-07 (270 PXC). The team was successful in rescuing Scarlett. This operation was not without its casulaties, though: police operatives [[Patrick Harrison]] and [[Petra Fishcook]] were both killed in the firefight. Three other operatives were seriously injured, including Detective [[Helena Frye]]. Four members of the [[Third Power]] were killed, including Academy member [[Roberto Solitano]].
