When Jamie stepped through the doors of Arrivals and Departures, she was immediately enveloped in a kaleidoscope of multicolored light and noise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">After living for over four months in the cramped and monochrome environment of the Mariner, followed by two weeks in quarantine, the reds, blues, yellows and greens of storefront signs, clothing, trailing and potted plants was overwhelming. A throng of talking, laughing, arguing people moved in front, behind and across their path as she and Dan left the terminal and walked out onto the cathedral-like expanse of the main concourse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">After taking a few steps, Jamie stopped and looked up at the atrium that stretched one thousand, two hundred and fifty feet from the lowest level of the station to its ceiling. Filling much of this space was Everest, a biohybrid structure that combined synthetics with the biological properties of a sequoia redwood. Jamie watched the fronds of the biohybrid ripple and spiral as it followed the heat signatures of the crowds moving along the causeways that intersected the atrium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;Read More&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#303030&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-545c17f1-4e53-478d-9e2b-03daafc524a2%22:%91%22closed_toggle_background_color%22%93}&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;gcid-545c17f1-4e53-478d-9e2b-03daafc524a2&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; closed_title_font=&#8221;Syne||||||||&#8221; closed_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; toggle_icon=&#8221;&#x43;||divi||400&#8243; open_toggle_icon=&#8221;&#x42;||divi||400&#8243; border_width_all=&#8221;0px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px||0px|false|false&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-25px|||||&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Dan slipped an arm around her waist. \u201cYou\u2019ve seen Everest about a thousand times.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cYeah, but I\u2019ve never really appreciated how green it is.
