¤$$$:::-.¨ tainaron is a building owned and ¨.-:::$$$¤
#¤^^:.¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨¨¨¨¨.-^¤

#¤^:-¨¨¨¨¨ 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 ¨¨.---:^¤#
###¤$^:-.¨ shut off, preventing entry or exit for ¨.-:^$¤###
#¤¤$^--¨¨¨ the guests. food is no longer served, ¨¨¨--^$¤¤#
#¤$^:-.¨¨¨ but the drinks become more extravagant. ¨¨¨.-:^$¤#
####$^:-.¨ it's at this point that the second set ¨.-:^$####
