	We now know that the Third Power are based in Ascendancy Point, the city's tallest building with over 170 triple-height floors and tens of thousands of occupants, but we do not have access to their surveillance systems. Instead, we must pinpoint their location with Ascendancy Point by other means.		We now know that the Third Power are based in [[Ascendancy Point]], the city's tallest building with over 170 triple-height floors and tens of thousands of occupants, but we do not have access to their surveillance systems. Instead, we must pinpoint their location with Ascendancy Point by other means.

	While Third Power messages from Earth to Ascendancy Point are being sent via Relaynet, the opposite is not true. Rather, Police have intercepted encrypted radio transmissions coming from within the Tower, presumably to the Centre for Reality Research.
