#¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ##########
