ACT II — THE CONTROL ROOM — (watching other people fight:1.3) (the same recurring cast, consistent faces, bodies and clothing across every image, identical character design:1.2) Featuring Sergeant Kade, armourer, forearms like winch cable, a welding mask pushed up on the forehead, drums of ammunition stacked behind; also Lieutenant Dana Sorren, frame pilot, a flight suit with three kill marks, hair cropped under a helmet, a photograph taped inside the cockpit; and at the back of the room, Corporal Bright, trainee pilot, too young for the suit, a helmet two sizes large, chewed fingernails on the control sticks. a gunner checking the turret travel by hand, in the darkened room with the map projected on the wall. No light but sodium lamps hazing the apron, and the room reads proud of a hard-won frame. (Dark room lit by monitors, backs of heads, one pilot's face). a 14mm with the screens wrapping the room; cockpit framing with instruments crowding the edges; graded ice blue, steel and orange lamp. Watching a screen that is not theirs: the one who thinks the war is already lost. Written down but never reported: a drink taken at an hour nobody saw. Across the headsets: a hand on a shoulder instead of a sentence. BREAK a boarding ladder rung huge at the edge; on the tiled floor, mud caked on frame feet, oil pooled in a drain trench; and going cold on a desk, fitters eating on a crate, a rat along the cable trays. Filling the far wall: the city skyline smoking. The turn: an order given twice and then withdrawn. BREAK a pilot who has not slept, a replacement pilot nobody has met, a rotation list with the same names on it. BREAK Reflected in the screens: light running along a rail, the polished brass of a worn instrument bezel, hot metal spitting sparks, chrome catching hangar light. (mecha control room, screens, cinematic:1.2) ice blue, steel and orange lamp. Avoid text, lettering, watermark, signature, extra fingers, deformed hands, extra limbs, blurry, low detail, jpeg artifacts, organic monsters, medieval weaponry, fantasy magic, hand-drawn linework. · queued — waiting for the driver

prompt: Looking down from the cliff edge: a figure sinking into a warm hot spring while snow dusts the boulders, tiny and still far below. a petite Latina woman with a tiny waist and full bust with cinnamon skin with a natural radiance, a pale form among the rocks and water. She is a surgeon in scrubs, surgical cap still in her hair^4, with a collar with a small brass bell that rings with every move, in the staff bathroom, the lock flipped. goosebumps prickling her arms in the cool air the pale curve of bare skin where her shorts should be. Warm late sun pours bright through the trees. a bright sky after rain, everything rinsed clean, a cool breeze raises goosebumps across her arms, a hazy late-summer afternoon. The mood is desperate, clinging, on the brink; the air is the metallic tang of the storm. Palette: lavender and pewter in soft haze. A vertiginous high-angle shot as a centered wide shot, her facing the camera — a 35mm holding her and the whole vista, shot on a 24mm with slight barrel distortion, split diopter with her and the background both in focus, the grain of film over every highlight, a clear front view of her in the open scenery.^
