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 The turn: an order given twice and then withdrawn.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 LETTER — (posted locally, and it matters:1.2) an antiques dealer with a good memory — an appointment diary — mending a fence and noticing — at a greenhouse with a broken pane in the last of the smell of rain on dry paving. unhurried but certain cozy with an undertow; a warm lamp in a dark kitchen grey and gentle. (Quiet composition, the paper the brightest thing, nothing else stirring). a 35mm at f/2.8 in grey light, lead room left toward the rain. BREAK a knitted sleeve crossing the frame of the letter's fold; a doormat worn thin, flagstones worn at the doorway of the table; bees working the lavender, sparrows in the hedge, a dog asleep by the radiator a cat and a robin. the village hall and its noticeboard the room and the rain outside. a coat on the wrong hook, an umbrella left and never claimed, a walking stick by the wrong door, a torch on the kitchen table, a list with one name circled hard BREAK candlelight on the fete table, the shine of a freshly washed mug, a wet bicycle bell catching light rain on the window. (cozy mystery, letter, rainy day, quiet, detailed:1.2) indigo, oat and copper.
