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 The turn: an order given twice and then withdrawn.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 GARDEN — (gravel, and the argument for stillness:1.2) a young samurai newly sworn — in a festival kimono worn for one evening — standing guard without moving in the walled garden of a graveyard under cedars. a storm shutting the pass still; gentle in a hard world meditative. (High camera looking down at raked patterns, figure as punctuation). an 85mm at f/2 for the duel close-up, a low angle up at the gate. BREAK bamboo stalks framing the shot of raked gravel lines; raked sand with perfect lines, the temple's swept step in careful bands; koi flashing in the moat, a snake crossing the path, a dog asleep at the gate the garden's pond life. a line of vermilion gates the garden wall and the borrowed mountain. a letter left unsent in a box, an offering of rice and salt, a poem tucked into a sleeve, an incense stick half burned, a teacup chipped and treasured BREAK the shine of a wet umbrella, lamp oil catching in a bowl, reflections in the canal water and leaf. (japanese garden, raked gravel, zen, top-down:1.2) cinematic period film still, naturalistic.
