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 The turn: an order given twice and then withdrawn.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 getaway that stays:1.3) a widow in black with a lawyer in tow — the one who kept the letter — a nurse's uniform after hours, a key-ring with no keys, only charms ready, telephoning a number you were told to forget in a jazz club where the sax still moans with one eye on the exit. the cold before the storm breaks agreeing to run; world-weary but curious alert; the flat grey of an unrepentant morning indifferent. (Grainy lithograph darkness with silver rims, the exit line of the frame composed). a 35mm at f/4 with sharp foreground, symmetry broken by one lit object, graded high-contrast monochrome, blacks crushed. BREAK a street-hydrant in the rain's spotlight and gummed and gleaming pavers, cigarette butts like a confession spilled of oiled light, a dog that heard the whole thing, a cat with his own alibi, a spider mending the web of the case of the getaway's critics. a relic cinema with one marquee letter left the route out. a prayer-card in a poker table's edge, a parking ticket from the night of it, a hatcheck stub in a dead man's coat BREAK a bracelet catching the phone-light, neon catching a tear before it falls the go-light. (noir, flight, precision:1.2) one desk lamp against the wall's honesty frames the bolt.
