There's a dam. It's somewhere far from the swirls of civilization and around the corner from the meeting point of all the greatest rivers of the world. Its kept far away from the knowledge of man. Thus saying, only a few people know about it. Sworn to secrecy, they seldom speak of it. Others, at first, knew about it. But talk grew less and slowly it drifted away into legend.

This dam is special. It holds the water of the world in one place. But by an almost alien technology, that water is suspended in mid air. It forms a huge sphere. Actually, there are several huge spheres in the vicinity. Each sphere is connected to one another and each has its own "clamp" to keep it in place. In the world of the future, space is the most expensive commodity. Even the intangible Internet needs physical servers to create "space". Technology has tried again and again to create more space by reducing the amount of physical space these servers require. But this dam, creates space in a way no other can.

The miracle of these "clamps" is not only that it levitates the water in place, but it also creates a remote gravitational pull that compresses matter, much like a black hole. But unlike a black hole, which in theory has unlimited space, these clamps can only hold a certain amount of mass. There's where the ingenuity of using several clamps in a connected manner comes into play. Each sphere is connected by veins of water. The water is constantly moving throughout a total of 3 spheres. This moving motion helps maintain equilibrium and lessens the constant mass that each clamp has to manage. This mechanism allows the 3 clamps to actually hold 3 times their normal capacity.
