##¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨ 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. ##########
