It sits completely under the water. Only poking its head through the lowest waves, the great building is a mystery. Like some frozen whale, it juts its polished head through each valley, and is submerged again by the next rising wave. The tower is anchored to bedrock on the ocean floor. Crafted to reduce water resistance, it is perfectly circular with the top coming to a sharp point. Only the top fifty feet is glass; the rest has no need for windows with it being too dark to see near the bottom. The center of the building is hollow, with the exception of the one room in the glass-enclosed top. The hollow is half the diameter of the building, to allow for rooms around the perimeter. It contains five levels.

The first floor is at the base. Five doors and a ramp look over the polished white floor. One door takes you to the outer hatch; the next four are classrooms used to teach young clones. The spiraling ramp is the second level. It winds around the edge of the hollow center, its continuity broken only by the single elevator that goes to the top. The floor ascends in a clockwise direction so that, as you walk up, glass panes are to your right and doors leading to dormitories are to your left. Every clone is given one; it is his own room with an office for his off-hours and paperwork.

The ramp flattens out, creating the third level. This flattened area is the cafeteria, with seating on the left. After a single revolution, the walkway again bends upwards, making the fourth level. Dormitories occupy the left, with glass on the right. This continues up to the top level, where the ramp finally opens out to the recreational facility. The floor, no longer hollow in the middle, extends the width of the building. Couches, computers, tables and a snack bar fill half the room; the other semicircle is dedicated to an auditorium where concentric rows of white chairs face a white podium. The spotless white floor reflects the foamy green sunlight filtering through the waves. Sitting three miles off the coast of Maine, the facility braves the worst storms with grace.

Five years after the building was finished, the hatch at the base had been sealed from the outside…never to be opened again. This was done to ensure that the clones would never escape.
