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 The turn: an order given twice and then withdrawn.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 field notebook, quick and true:1.2) a spike of lavender with bees — engraved in copper and hand-tinted — with a pencil note of place and date on a drained watercolor wash ground. (Field sketchbook, pencil and loose wash, unfinished edges). a 100mm macro at f/11 on the specimen, labels placed in the lower corner. BREAK a handwritten label overlapping the art of a smudged note; a wash pooled at the edge, an ink line slightly bled of the rough page; a moth with wings spread in a corner, a caterpillar drawn at true scale, an ant drawn at the scale bar annotated in the margin. a soft printed frame line a ghosted earlier sketch. an older name inked out, a corrected name in a smaller hand, a marginal sketch of a detail, a pressed stem that cracked, a Latin binomial in careful italic BREAK dew dots at the leaf tip, the faint gleam of varnish on an old plate a green wash still damp. (field notebook, botanical sketch, loose, natural:1.2) rose madder, sage and parchment.
