The night sky below is calmed by the blue afterglow from an unseen aether--making just enough night-light to read by. Her skin is accented with the blue night to make her look like she is the most peaceful creature in all the universe. Confronting her, storming seas dare not disturb her serenity she most undoubtedly deserves. Her complete halcyon appearance is supported by the way she sits in the Forward Commons area chairs. She neither sits up, nor is sinking, but leaning as if trying to attain some half-awake sleep. The chair is completely average in all visual aspects: gray padding supported into pale bent wood arms with some slight, attempted articulate curves to fit every human form. But these chairs have to be the most comfortable chairs in the entire Tower, if not the most comfortable chairs ever crafted. Then again, any chair is comfortable after a long week. Her intense and much needed relaxation is only contradicted by her piercing eyes, vividly reading the poetry before her.

Finally, she needn't worry about anything, anyway. For now, she’ll let the soft cerenkov blue wash away all her stress. This week alone had been nothing but reports and experiments, all of which needed to be reconfirmed or resent to Base Office. All she does is maintain the Tower Support Materials Integrity, being the materials engineer artist that she is. Now, she was a free woman from needing to bother with such things for a few days. For right now she was enjoying a too long deferred bask in Forward Commons at the outer edge of the Tower. It is always amazing to see your world upside down.

She tilts her head back to rub the lower of her neck and soothingly smiles. She sets the book down to venture to the invisible panes of “metal” glass at the edge of Forward Commons. “The Tower is as much a symbol for our need for beauty as it is a powerful sign of our genius and achievement. It certainly was not a symbol of our practicality” calls the voice of her professor. She stares out of the inner windows to see the beginning of the large spiraling hexagonal Inner Tower encased in the superstructure of the Outer Shell. This commons area is at one of the closer points to the Outer Shell, only 50 feet or so away. Many sets of transparent metals exist to prevent the vacuum of space evacuating the towers. The many sets of glass are pleasing to look at, reminding one of ice atop of a pond.

She stares down, out into the vast infinity of space and can turn to see the sun almost behind her, blocked by the opaque panes of metal. She compares the lightly speckled space about her to how dark it becomes in the inner sanctum of the Tower. She could see sixty feet of the infinity that this tower seemed to be.

Above her, she can see the Earth, hanging at the end of the Tower. The Tower falls away into a hair's breathe wire as it reaches the surface of the Earth. The blue of the Earth fills the room with that afterglow. She is almost a third of the way to Moon and there is still enough earth-glow to read by. Stillness is the only thing she feels when she looks upon the Earth. The Earth is still compared to the Tower.

These are the heights that unravel minds but they do not boggle her, her office has a better view of the Earth.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

It took 500 years to complete the Millennium Towers—many of the original designers are alive today to see it. The two towers, on the equator of Peru and Singapore, are quite literally the standing achievements to human innovation. To think, a century before the Towers were built, no one believed that such things could exist, there weren’t the materials or the materials with strengths to support such Goliaths. But it is there, clear as day. The monuments to artificial matter.

Each Tower, ten miles across, extend a third of the way to the moon. It reaches the height where the centripetal forces cancels the gravitational pull, and then some. The sense of up is turned inside out when you pass that point, and your view of the sky becomes the face of the earth and your down is the night sky.
