Ascendancy Point

Website: http://www.ascendancypoint.com

General

• Built in 1996 (259 AC)
  • Groundbreaking Event was on or about September 3, 1995 (258 AC)

• The Ascendancy Point is over 1,300m tall and is the tallest building in Perplex City.
  • surpassing the Noh Tower by more than 400 metres.

• From the Ascendancy Point it is possible to take in the whole city.
• Known for its high-priced housing and expensive boutiques
• Main entrance is on Ascendancy Way (which runs parallel to Fivebridges Lane).

  • See also: Disaster Maintenance: Heat Sensors
  • See also: Building Maintenance: Air Conditioning

• The Building's internal systems (environmental, security, & business) are all completely tied to each other, meaning no one element of the system doesn't integrate with any other system.
  • This is done with the ideal goal of making the Point the pinnacle of luxuriant living.
  • The potential (and inevitable) backlash of this system integration, however, is that when one thing fails, everything fails.

• The mightiest chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
  • This sort of system failure has been happening, with an increasing amount of difficulty, and embarrassment.
  • However, Earthly residents have been using some of these weaknesses to an advantage. See: Building Maintenance: Air Conditioning
  • Jules Northerlie, Communication Director, Insists the whole issue has been overblown, and in fact of very minimal concern.
  • Nevertheless, the Ascendancy Point Residents Association has been formed to voice the complaints of the many.
  • Many of the bugs in the system are being worked out, and may have been very minor problems caused by someone specifically who didn't know what they were doing.
