The Icehouse was a secret Psi Corps facility located on the Jovian moon, Ganymede. In November 2256, the facility was rocked by an explosion, in which Alfred Bester was wounded. Claiming that one of military officer Johnston's guards turned on Director Kevin Vacit during a late night meeting, Bester shot the guard in the leg before he set off a bomb. The damaged modular section quickly flooded and Bester had only just been able to escape before it auto-detached to save the rest of the complex, though the Director was not as lucky. Officially the bombing was blamed on the Telepath Resistance. Unknown to anyone besides Bester's inner circle, it was actually Bester who staged the assassination, spending years planting telepathic triggers in Johnston's aides.
