&....&.... 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. ...&&&...&
