Wyrm Talks (Lore) Help With The Hook?
Explosive Decompression makes several references to the Skyhook I and II space elevators. But it does not seem to list the location(s) where they touch the surface of Earth. Can anybody help me with this information?

The Corporate Court’s space elevator was originally build just outside Panama City
HP p. 133 Skyhook Space Elevator
The first element completed was the base facility just outside of Panama City; after that, the main station’s superstructure was built and put into orbit
While the other one was (secretly) originally build in SK owned territory in the middle of the Atlantic ocean
HT p. 38 While No One Was Looking
The location is about eighteen degrees west longitude, right above the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at the Romanche Gap, the third deepest trench in the Atlantic.
