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 The turn: an order given twice and then withdrawn.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 RUIN THEY KEPT — (a monument to the old way:1.3) a young inventor adjusting a wind-catcher — in a nurse's tunic of plant-dyed linen — walks past the preserved hulk at a canal district crossed by living bridges, wiring a lantern for the night market. gently stubborn of commemoration; long gold across the vertical farm museum-soft. (The old machine made a garden structure, vines through its frame). a tilt-shift for the cooperative rooftop, the sky held open above the rooftops. BREAK a cup of tea steaming beside tools the rusted plate; wooden decking, silvered by sun, a deck scattered with seed husks the reclaimed asphalt; kites that are really drones, ants harvesting dropped seeds, sparrows bathing in the runoff nesting in the housing. wind towers on the ridge, turning the new city risen behind. BREAK the shimmer of bees against the light, the glint of water in a recycling runnel on the plaque. a child's drawing of the canal festival, two names carved into a public bench, a scarf left on a cold bench, for the cold, a repair tag on a mended tool handle, a ladder shared between four flats
