Norton is staying with his father, [[Edward Folgate|Reverend Edward Folgate]], whose church has seen a rapid drop in attendance recently, since being kicked off of the Ascension project. Lizbeth returns to London and is excluded from [[Operation Catapult]] by de Souza until she threatens to leak information, upon which she learns that de Souza's plan is to send [[nuclear missile]]s into the [[sky]] in the hopes of hitting a spaceship and feigns support. Lyme, meanwhile, visits several [[newspaper]]s in the hopes of writing and publishing a story on a religious group's failure to Ascend and is eventually hired by [[Borage]] at ''[[The Gazette]]''. | Norton is staying with his father, [[Edward Folgate|Reverend Edward Folgate]], whose church has seen a rapid drop in attendance recently, since being kicked off of the Ascension project.

Borage gives him access to the paper's classified department and proceeds to call de Souza, reaching Lizbeth and being told to afford him every access rather than keeping him ignorant as he had previously been ordered.

Lizbeth passes on a message to Lyme to investigate Ascension camps and keeps in touch with Andy, who has discovered a secret [[listening station]] in [[Goonhilly]] in the [[Torchwood One|Torchwood]] files and is looking for signals like those Aleksandr detected in Moscow. Upon learning that the government are inviting people to cheap and free [[pilgrimage]]s to religious sites to get people to Ascend and provide them with fuel, Lyme gets drunk and takes the [[train]] to Norton to inform him and get his help. | ||
De Souza gets cold feet about the project as do several others at the Ascension Action Group and Lizbeth intrudes upon a meeting after Armitage assures everybody that what they are doing is right for the country. When de Souza changes his mind, Armitage continues discussion of which of society's undesirables they are to Ascend. Lyme, meanwhile, joins Father Dinsdale's Ascension camp after losing [[faith]] in Norton, who did not answer when Lyme asked in front of Reverend Folgate whether or not he had ever loved him. | De Souza gets cold feet about the project as do several others at the Ascension Action Group and Lizbeth intrudes upon a meeting after Armitage assures everybody that what they are doing is right for the country.

The operation is brought to an end and de Souza dishonourably discharged to serve as a [[scapegoat]], but Lizbeth and Andy discover from the listening station that other countries such as [[Mexico]] are experimenting with Ascension. Despite the news, Ascensions are still taking place in the UK and both Reverend Folgate and Father Dinsdale continue to perform them for people still wanting to Ascend. Mr Borage sends Lyme to investigate these people for a new story and Armitage decides to formalise these Ascensions. | ||
Lizbeth takes Father Dinsdale to Goonhilly at [[gun]]point to exploit the connection between him and the force responsible for Ascension. When an Ascension takes place, Father Dinsdale uses Aleksandr's device to contact the force and learns that it wants people to be happy. He finally feels bliss himself and Ascends, so Lizbeth and Andy instead fetch Lyme. After being asked by Armitage at Sir Reginald's office to contact and neuter the force responsible for Ascension, Norton travels to Goonhilly and, despite being promptly told to "fuck off" by Andy, takes over. | |||
