.#.#....## #####..##.
.####...#. 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 ##.##.#...
