Floor 5000: You walk up the stairs and see a huge office cubicle. Each computer is running some kind of software. On the software, people have typed out descriptions of floors you've already been to. The shops on Floor 1, the donkey pen on Floor 1443, the Forum Moderator HQ on Floor 2085, the planespotter pad on Floor 3193...

At the center of a cubicle is a countdown. The timer has hit 0. Everyone in the room is celebrating the 5000th floor. There is cheering and someone pops a bottle of Rep. A huge ceiling-to-floor window in one of the walls shows you that you're so high, you can clearly see the curvature of the Earth. You can make out the city beneath you, the ocean, mountains, and above you, the blue atmosphere fading into black space.

You don't know why you started climbing this building level by level, but you feel a sort of sense of accomplishment. You take a moment to let it soak in before continuing on, wondering where this journey will take you next.

Floor 5004: A closed Borders bookstore. Outside, there's a literal fighter jet with one wing painted red parked outside and the pilot sitting inside keeps monologuing and saying gibberish like, "Do you see any borders from here? What have borders given us? This twisted game needs to be reset. That's what V2 is for. We'll start over from 'zero' and entrust the future to the next generation."

He has drawn quite an audience.
