########## up the stairs to your platform. the ##########
########## station is in several levels, all ##########
########## placed within eachother by some ##########
########## intelligent designer, and full of ##########
########## stairs, elevators, shortcuts, ##########
########## bazaars... you sight your train through ##########
########## some glass windows. it's... not where ##########

########## ##########
########## you're finally entering the city. while ##########
########## it is indeed a very high speed train ##########
########## you're traveling in, the journey has ##########
########## been long. but it's about to end! ##########
########## ##########
########## society is growing denser around you, ##########
########## through the windows you see first small ##########
########## shacks, built of metal and stone, then ##########
########## proper houses with mortar to keep them ##########
########## together... who in turn make way for ##########
########## the industrial buildings, the urban ##########
########## maze, protective walls, jungle ##########
########## network... ##########
########## ##########
########## the tracks leave the ground, which is ##########
########## needed for other purposes. you are ##########
########## carried gently, curving upwards until ##########
########## you're moving upward along the wall of ##########
########## a building. it's made of slabby stone, ##########
########## with great glassless window holes ##########
########## looking out the way you came. it is ##########
########## pitch black inside. ##########
