No 21st century party capital should be
without it.
"They said it was a waste of materials but
it makes up for itself in revenues
generated by the visitors. Someone
thought that a better idea from the orbital
billboard would be this thing and it got
faster zoning approval, as well."
"So
anyway this whole prism is situated
right over the city. When you go there
during the day everything is bathed in
different pastel colors. That's different
and has a neat effect but not really very
noticeable."
"However, at night, holy shit, it's a
different story! Because of the way they
rigged it, no one color stays over any part
of the city at any one time, so we are
bathed in a Roy. G. Biv cycle every 10
minutes and that's so sweet."
"Yuh huh! At night, that's because it's not
in the Earth's shadow all the time. They
also have a giant mirror to reflect it where
it needs to be. But that's not the sweetest
thing, Once you get past the Biv to the UV
and your clothes start to glow."
"This thing is pimped out, first of all its a
mile wide, but its really simple. Its a
plastic foil mirror with defraction grating
in front of it, and all sorts of servos and
tethers to get everything the way they
want it. It even has the liquid crystals
sandwiched into the defraction grating
incase they want to shut it off and make it
all black."
"The clouds, did affect the colors, you
gotta
remember, there aren't alot of clouds out
where we were anyway. And the colors
light up the clouds too. Not only that,
where the clouds weren't, beams of color
rained down all over the city."
"It was like a citywide rave. I mostly stood
around outside and got drunk."
