Unconvinced, Tyrest invoked Section 90, Subsection 16 of the Accord which granted him the power of pre-emptive execution over those who might act against him and a [[Legislator]] removed Ambus from the field of play. {{storylink\|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self\|The Divided Self}}		When the crew of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' stumbled across Tyrest's base, he was on the verge of completing and activating the universal killswitch.
