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 The turn: an order given twice and then withdrawn.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: THE CAROUSEL — Hello Kitty — a golden retriever with a brown beret on his head, round pudgy body, short legs, soft cream-colored fur — rides the carousel at a birthday party with a three-tier cake, a mermaid tail with scales Sunday-best, a teacup with a saucer held tight. watching fireworks at night: circling to the wind chimes ringing softly. sparkly: pure joy. a warm beam from a smiling sun golden. soft lavender and baby blue, digital painting, soft shading, dreamy glow, studio quality, close-up of faces with sparkly eyes. BREAK a blanket of rose petals on the ground the gilded pole; cobblestone street with puddles reflecting sky, pebble path lined with tiny flowers the platform's shine; a caterpillar wearing a microscopic hat, a snail with a polka-dot shell sliding past, a pair of fireflies blinking in sync the painted horses mid-leap. a canopy of cherry blossom trees overhead the spinning world, a sky streaked with cotton-candy pink and gold above. BREAK bokeh orbs floating through the air, prismatic light splitting through a crystal, rainbow light refracting through morning dew the lights of the ride. the soft whoosh of a kite in flight of the calliope. a bee with a tiny briefcase, a bird reading a mini book, a well with a cup that never empties, a carousel horse mid-gallop
