All members of the Third Power captured or killed. Scarlett rescued. Helena Frye seriously injured, along with three other team members. Two police killed.

That's the result of Operation Bayonet. A stunning victory - the end of the Third Power in Perplex City, and the end of the fear and murders and death that's been stalking us since the Cube was stolen. At least, that's what the police say. I even believe it, at least for now. The Third Power might have evaded us in the past, but this wasn't a trick or a diversion - this was their real base of operations, which they'd set up following the evacuation of the underground complex containing their portal.

They've lasted for hundreds of years. I wouldn't count them out for the long game. For now, we can breathe easy, if only for a while. I think we all need to. The attack in Ascendancy Point fried my nerves, and even though I was only a spectator to the firefight, it was enough to disillusion me about any action movie. Violet and Scarlet... they'll need some time to recover. I doubt Scarlett will ever be the same person again. She's been through too much. I just hope that she finds some way to move on and forgive.

Caine impressed me yesterday. I admit that I was furious when we spotted him by Ascendancy Point before the operation - we didn't need any distractions and to avoid him making a scene with Violet, we had to bring him along. Of course, we confiscated his key - no-one was carrying unsecured keys during the operation, otherwise it would've been trivial for the Third Power to track us.

Caine didn't know everything that was going on last night, but he understood that it was important. So while he was a serious pain in the ass while we were going through those puzzle locks on the way to the lifts, he more than made up for it by picking a fight with those guards and allowing us to get through. He could've been seriously hurt - not just in that fight, but afterwards, when he was picked up by the Third Power. I hope he'll be able to help Scarlett - she seems to trust him. At least they're both alive.

Patrick Harrison was killed during the firefight. I'd been getting to know him. He was a good guy, very smart. Harrison had barely completed basic training in firearms, but he went in with the rest of them.

There's always a cost to the victors in a battle. I hope we've paid it now.

 		Harrison - fine man. Damn fine man, if you ask me.
Gave his life for the cause.
Crying shame.
Should have been Caine.
What a waste of a good life.

 		Stunning victory, hah.

If anything, it means that the 3P here is going to be working extra hard because they've got nothing left to lose.

Gots to hit the puzzles harder now, I suppose.

Kurt seems more than a little confident... Confused
