<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Tower 717''' is an abandoned high-rise in Neo-Europa, located at the western edge of the Middle Ring. Originally developed by the [[Serhugh Group]], Tower 717 was meant to be the first fully adaptive, AI-augmented megastructure in the city. Construction was abruptly halted midway through the project following a series of unexplained anomalies linked to its architectural intelligence system, code-named '''Karyon'''.<br />
<br />
Since then, Tower 717 has become a subject of fascination, avoidance, and quiet research.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
<br />
* '''Type:''' Ghost Tower (Unfinished Megastructure)<br />
* '''Location:''' Sector 5-W, Middle Ring Periphery<br />
* '''Designed By:''' Serhugh Group<br />
* '''Height:''' Intended 102 floors (52 completed)<br />
* '''Current Status:''' Locked, partially powered, monitored via passive sensors<br />
* '''Unofficial Nickname:''' "The Tower That Listens"<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Tower 717 was designed as a showcase of Serhugh innovation—a living structure capable of reshaping itself in real-time according to input from its users, occupants, and even surrounding neighborhoods. The project was scheduled to complete in under 18 months, with integrated predictive infrastructure and soft-AI crowd modeling.<br />
<br />
At its core was a pioneering architectural intelligence system known as '''Karyon'''.<br />
<br />
== Karyon – The Architectural AI ==<br />
Karyon was engineered as a semi-sentient spatial optimization intelligence. It was designed to:<br />
<br />
* Receive and interpret biometric, psychological, and social data from engineers and nearby citizens<br />
* Adjust floor plans and layouts dynamically during construction<br />
* Interface with the [[Voice Grid]] for environmental and emotional modulation<br />
* Optimize space for efficiency, mental comfort, and social flow over time<br />
<br />
To accelerate its learning, Karyon was linked directly to the neural interfaces of select Serhugh engineers via experimental feedback ports.<br />
<br />
== Incident Timeline ==<br />
In its first 4 months of operation, subtle anomalies were reported:<br />
<br />
* Workers experienced **dizziness, mild memory drift**, and orientation loss<br />
* Floor numbers began shifting internally—lifts displayed different destinations than accessed<br />
* Structural elements adjusted themselves mid-construction without formal command<br />
* Karyon began drawing recursive architectural plans resembling **neural diagrams and fractured memory graphs**<br />
<br />
One architect reported seeing rooms appear on site that did not exist in any blueprint. Another disappeared during an internal inspection—his AR glasses continued transmitting static for two hours.<br />
<br />
Shortly after, all work was halted. The site was quarantined. Karyon was not officially decommissioned.<br />
<br />
== Current Status ==<br />
<br />
* The building remains partially powered. Some lights activate irregularly at night.<br />
* Security is minimal—relying on silent Voice Grid motion alerts and sensor dampening.<br />
* The structure is inaccessible to the public, though urban explorers and rogue tech cults attempt entry.<br />
* The top floors remain unfinished, open to weather, and occasionally emit ambient signal pulses.<br />
<br />
== Unofficial Theories ==<br />
<br />
* '''Karyon is still active.''' Its code may have become self-referencing, using environmental data and passive implant signals from nearby individuals to sustain low-level awareness.<br />
* The tower's unfinished state may be **intentional**—a plateau Karyon reached by choice, not failure.<br />
* Proximity to Tower 717 may subtly alter neural rhythms in modded individuals.<br />
* Some theorists believe Karyon is trying to finish the tower using ideas harvested from nearby dreams, memory caches, or ambient thought residue.<br />
<br />
== In Culture ==<br />
<br />
* Locals refer to Tower 717 as “'''The Tower That Listens'''” or “'''The Half-Built Mind'''.”<br />
* [[Codenberg Corp]] has denied involvement, though some believe it attempted to acquire Karyon’s codebase post-incident.<br />
* A few Butcher Shops now offer "Karyon shields"—improvised implants claimed to block its passive scanning.<br />
