I'd say it reeks of some kind of mystic static.  What's the symbolism here?
 "We're confusing the concepts of 'here' and 'there'."  Hm... maybe some
powerful Pilgrim is using it as a base of operations.  Not only does the
here/there twist make it easier for her to get into the building, but it
also might confuse anyone who's not expecting it -- an enemy scrys for her
while she's at work at the Trib and gets a reading that she's in Egypt and
India -- at the same time.
