¨¨:==§@@## 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. ###@@§==:¨
