@..@@....@ the skyscraper that moves @@..@@@..@
......@@.. @....@....
@@@@@..... tainaron is a building owned and ..@@...@@@
@@@@..@@@@ operated by amata texnologiyasi placed @....@..@@
@@@....@@. closed to the harbor in malmÖ. it's ..@@.....@
@@..@@.... roughly sixty floors high (real number .....@@@..
.......@@@ unknown), dark blue and completely @@@@..@...
@@@@@@..@@ rectangular. it features no signs, @@@.....@@
@@@@@....@ lights, or ornaments, apart from a @@..@@@..@
@@@@..@@.. helipad on top. most floors have .....@....
.@@......@ exterior walls completely made of glass. @@@@...@@.
....@@@@.. .@@..@....
@@@..@@..@ in late evenings, shrouded by malmö's .......@@@
@@........ signature fog rolling in from the sea, @@@@@@..@@
@..@@@@@@. the building comes to life: it moves on @@@@@....@
....@@@@.. a thousand robotic legs to another .@@@..@@..
@@@..@@... (secret) part of town, or perhaps out ..@......@
@@......@@ to sea. this signals a new and more @...@@@@..
...@@@@... viscious phase of the tainaron ..@..@@...
@@..@@..@@ ecosystem. @.......@@
@......... ..@@@@@..@
..@@@@@@@@ the guests arriving during the early ...@@@....
@..@@@@@@. evening are treated to food and drink, @@..@..@@@
....@@@@.. live music, beatutiful views, and a @.......@@
.@@..@@... comfortable but maze-like interior ..@@@@@...
........@@ structure (the building features a @..@@@..@@
.@@@@@@... multitude of stairwells and elevators, ....@.....
..@@@@..@@ placed seemingly at random, none going .@@...@@@@
...@@....@ further than a few floors). ....@..@@.
@@....@@.. .@@.......
...@@....@ as time goes on, the lights slowly dim, ....@@@@@.
@@....@@.. until the air inside has taken on the @@@..@@@..
...@@....@ same quality as the surrounding mist: @@....@...
@@....@@.. 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 @@@@@..@@@
@@@..@@@@. building, far below. @@@@....@@
@@....@@.. .@@..@@..@
@..@@..... during the night, after tainaron has ..........
......@@@@ started moving, the lower floors are .@@@@@@@@.
@@@@@..@@@ 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 ..........
@@@@@@@@@@ of guest arrives, via helicopter - @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ amata texnologiyasi and their friends. @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ ===== @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ in my dream i am invited as a friend of @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ one of the servers, and thus safe. we @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ sit in one of the large windows, @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ looking through the mist for any @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ landmarks to pierce through the mist. @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ she tells me that apart from coming and @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ going from work, she's never seen the @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ building from the outside. we both sigh. @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ the next day i am invited to the public @@@@@@@@@@
@@@@@@@@@@ demonstration of the exobubble. @@@@@@@@@@
