The Tower

The Tower was the base of operations for The Circle, until it was breached in May 2023, whereupon it was gutted for contents and all members found within arrested.
==Location==
The Tower was constructed within the abandoned Flakturm VII G-tower in Augarten, Vienna. Using sophisticated technology from the far future, the interior remained hidden to the outside world by keeping it slightly out of phase with the current timeline, so that anyone who might enter would find it as derelict and empty as it appears.
==Interior==
The Tower had fourteen floors, and among its many facilities, it included:
* offices
* living quarters
* computer labs
* a training facility
* a quantum shift hub
* a swimming pool (on the sixth floor)
* the Council Chamber, with 360° glass-walled panaromaic view of the city (on the fourteenth floor)
== History ==
It is not known how long the Tower was in operation for, but presumably from at least 2020 (during Ethan Taylor's undercover mission within The Circle), and possibly since at least 2017 (when Anthony Giry was tasked with doubling Stéfanie Roux).
In May 2023, thanks in part to a deal that Enora Gallou made with Fran Grenouille and in part to Ethan Taylor's technical ingenuity, the technology protecting the Tower from detection, thought to be completely impenetrable, was disabled, and a huge strike force made up of both the Austrian Federal Army and the Federal Police of Austria breached the Tower and, within 46 minutes, the building was cleared of all hostile personnel. Unfortunately, most of the technical data was lost due to some quick-thinking on the part of two of The Circle's members, who erased it before they were arrested.
The operation against the Tower was taken over by the QIA four days later, with backing by the UN Security Council, and deemed highly classified. It would become known to local law enforcement as Der Geisterturm. ("Circle")
