  We study the smooth non-supersymmetric three-charge microstates of Jejjala,
Madden, Ross and Titchener [hep-th/0504181] using Kaluza-Klein reductions of
the solutions to five and four dimensions. Our aim is to improve our
understanding of the relation between these non-supersymmetric solutions and
the well-studied supersymmetric cases. We find some surprising qualitative
differences. In the five-dimensional description, the solution has orbifold
fixed points which break supersymmetry locally, so the geometries cannot be
thought of as made up of separate half-BPS centers. In the four-dimensional
description, the two singularities in the geometry are connected by a conical
singularity, which makes it impossible to treat them independently and assign
unambiguous brane charges to these centers.
