// Someone was accessing the Tanagura Archives, Zico immediately rising from having lain in his seat to check, immediately noticing the patterns of another hacking on the grid. He set to record the movement, loosening security to allow the act in a classic game of cat and mouse, baiting as he saved the progress of the proceedings to report to his benefactor later on... //

The completed Palace of Neu-Jupiter is exaggeratedly large, made up of two areas called the Main and the Courts respectively, both fully-integrated into the central System of Tanagura also known as Jupiter's System, but functions independently of it. It is said that the pinnacle residence is of a pure atmosphere, having its own massive Filtration Components hidden within the framework of the House, the sterile shafts pushing cleaner air in to circulate within the areas, simulating a natural environment typical outside only safer and devoid of contaminants. It also holds enormous backup reserves to keep the Palace running even if the rest of Tanagura shuts down during emergencies, the Tower itself taking advantage of solar and wind made viable due to the structure's height and underwater currents from Ocean a short distance off.
Other frameworks are likewise made unique to the Palace, but for security reasons shall not be disclosed in this article.
The Palace is maintained and cared for by the triplets, from the idiosyncratic Neu-Furniture Series, named Katron, Katrice and Kantre, and the horde of mindless machines under their control, running everything via strict schedules which included but are not limited to that of Iason Mink, his Pet and Exclusive, Riki, and their own. Specifications regarding the manufacturing of these three special furnishings have been made confidential and we bear no further record, though it is stated that as part of these said specifications, none such Furniture will ever be allowed to exist in any other household, the creation thereof forbidden save upon the request of Neu-Jupiter whom holds all rights regarding the making of the Trinity.

The Main referred to in this article is actually the main structure or house of the Palace, a three-floored building made up of private rooms, guest areas, kitchens, among other sections, and the avant garde Floating Garden in and out built on levitating plateaus, open platforms and some hidden alcoves teeming with plant life and hand-picked Flora. It was here that the Pet was first accommodated to when he was yet asleep.

From the Main, a continuous balcony opens to the outside, overlooking the outer suburbs of the city below, Ocean beyond, and the Aerospace Port a little nearer that. The Palace itself has its very own private Aeroport used by the Blondie Master to get to and from work, in turn connected to an even lower level which is the garage where all vehicles owned by him are stored out of sight.
The Main is built closest to the outer dome of Eos Tower Two, and for its protection not only has the barrier and shield of the Tower, but also three separate layers of reinforced shelling [construction unknown] that would stand to any bombardment from the outside and a web of sensors that are linked to the secret defensive components of the House, supposedly including the security droids (hundreds of them - the same that chased the Exclusive out the first time) and something else which Neu-Jupiter himself personally had an unnamed contractor install, in cold sleep, hidden beneath the one of the features in the centre of the Floating Garden and two more supposedly ensconced in its epic chandelier. Further details about this have been kept confidential for evident reasons.

Rumours have circulated that in case of an imminent threat, the Palace executes what is called the Lotus Procedure, whereby the structure automatically seals itself from the inside-out, deploying its various defences until the threat is neutralized if not entirely eliminated, though this is yet to be verified.

The Court on the other would be considered as the exterior of the Palace, though is actually more of a showcase area for other bigger gardens and water features and is encased by the rest of Eos Tower Two's large glass circumference, where infinity pools surround all five of the constructed hanging gardens and their individualized outdoor furnishings, connected one to the other via suspension bridges, which were in turn connected to the topmost portion of the Main. There were also teleportation gates, though they have been rarely used by both Master and Pet as they are believed to just fly to where they wanted to be. The teleportation gates are more for the use of the Furniture or visitors though it has been confirmed that the Palace is yet to receive any of the latter at present.

The Palace is the exact opposition of the image that had been once a standard of the 'metallic city' of yore, itself so far removed from what had been the boring clean of the old god's domain, though is ever as efficient and as precise, all tasks involving the superior Blondie's new domicile carried out by its caretakers with still the same promptness and efficacy or even more, all affairs therein conducted like clockwork.
But it is still a fact that the new Jupiter loved this extravagance, loved to treat his newly-opened senses to grand things such as a burst of colour and grandiose, or at least his own personal desert of roses to which his Pet might also find his amusement, given the belief that when the Exclusive was in slumber, he had likewise developed an aesthete's taste, the old god aiming to inject some manner of culture into the Pet, to what extent though, this is yet untested.
Bottom line, the hierarchy had already been shaken, and despite the refusal of some elites to let go of the monochromatic existence in bodysuits and minimalist-decorated rooms and houses that they had been accustomed of in the past, like this Palace and just like Neu-Jupiter, Tanagura will continue to change into a kingdom its Blondie Master will eventually shape it into.

"There seems to be little information here, but the Tower is apparently built to have some of their most advanced fortifications," said the voice after receiving the information, discussing this on the phone with another dubious character. "As expected."
"Then the best chance would be when he's out? Too bad his days at Apatia are long over. It would have been easier..."
"I don't think it's wise to attack the very nest. Not when it's so well-taken cared of. Do you have information as to what had happened exactly during his absence? We might get clues as to how we can take this Neu-Jupiter off the picture."
"We don't. For some reason, we can no longer hack into the System now. Should we try getting a spy in?"
The other considered and for a while thought carefully. "We need to test the waters first before we do that," he advised, thinking how the massacre of an elite might be as futile as their last attempt after a hundred years.
He decided. "I'll send word in a few days time."
