..~;^§§§## operated by amata texnologiyasi placed ##§§§^;~..
..~;^§#¶## closed to the harbor in malmÖ. it's ##¶#§^;~..

..~;^§#¶## lights, or ornaments, apart from a ##¶#§^;~..

..~;^§#¶## a thousand robotic legs to another ##¶#§^;~..
..~;^§#¶## (secret) part of town, or perhaps out ##¶#§^;~..

..~;^§#¶## the guests arriving during the early ##¶#§^;~..

.....~^§## live music, beatutiful views, and a ##§^~.....
..~;^§#¶## comfortable but maze-like interior ##¶#§^;~..
.....~;^^# structure (the building features a #^^;~.....
..~;^§#¶## multitude of stairwells and elevators, ##¶#§^;~..

...~~~^^#¶ blue-gray, sprinkled with the small red ¶#^^~~~...
..~;^^^^^# dot's by door locks and control panels. #^^^^^;~..
..~;^§#### if you would look through the windows ####§^;~..
..~;^§#¶## you would see the mist rolling by, and ##¶#§^;~..
..~;^§#¶## perhaps the outline of some other ##¶#§^;~..

..~;^§#¶## ##¶#§^;~..
..~;^§#¶## during the night, after tainaron has ##¶#§^;~..

..~;^§§### shut off, preventing entry or exit for ###§§^;~..
..~;^§#¶## the guests. food is no longer served, ##¶#§^;~..
..~;^§#¶## but the drinks become more extravagant. ##¶#§^;~..
..~;^§§#¶¶ it's at this point that the second set ¶¶#§§^;~..
