¨##¨¨###¨¨ 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. ##¨#¨#¨###
