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 The turn: an order given twice and then withdrawn.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: A postcard-wide frame: , and A woman in a crop top and nothing else, strolling through the trees, a soft, round East Asian woman with pillowy curves with delicate pale skin with a dewy fresh sheen, dwarfed by everything around her. She is a tennis player in a white pleated skirt, ball in hand, with delicate gold chains draped across her hipbones, post-workout, muscles warm and aching. She walks on, unhurried, the whole world watching and none of it touching her. and if you look closely, a bare flash of hips where the hem rides up. Bright sunshine lights the whole scene, crisp and clear. bright golden light pouring across the horizon, heavy rain drums against the glass, the room bright around her, high noon, the sun high and bright. The mood is tender and unhurried; the air is jasmine and woodsmoke. Palette: sage green, dusk pink, and ivory. An expansive wide shot as a low wide shot with the sky rising behind her — a 50mm at her eye level, the landscape behind her, shot on a mirrorless body with surgical sharpness, soft creamy bokeh melting everything behind her, cool metal pressed to flushed skin, a clear front view of her in the open scenery.^
