¨:~/%&£###  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 ##£&%/~:¨¨

¨:~/%&£### 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 ##£&%/~:¨¨

¨¨:~/%&£##    comfortable but maze-like interior    ##£&%/~:¨¨
¨:~/%&£###    structure (the building features a    ###£&%/~:¨
¨¨:~/%&£##  multitude of stairwells and elevators,  ##£&%/~:¨¨
¨:~/%&£### placed seemingly at random,  none  going ###£&%/~:¨

¨:~/%&£### 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.           ##£&%/~:¨¨

¨:~/%&£### 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   - ##£&%/~:¨¨

¨¨:~/%&£## looking   through   the  mist   for  any ##£&%/~:¨¨
