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 The turn: an order given twice and then withdrawn.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 CHART ROOM — (a lamp, a chart, a decision:1.2) a harbor pilot boarding from a skiff — in salt-crusted wool and tarred canvas — bracing the wheel in heavy weather at a lighthouse on a lonely rock with a key on a leather cord spread out. the copper of a sunset off the port bow a single chart lamp; lawless and merry deliberate. (Overhead-ish composition of the chart, hands and brass in warm light). a 50mm at f/4 with lantern key, a low angle up the masts. BREAK a lantern swinging close the chart's ink; tar in the seams gone soft in heat, rope fenders trailing the scarred table; gulls wheeling and screaming, moths around the lantern, barnacles furring the hull the lamp's moths. another sail closing on the horizon the cabin's dark joinery. a song remembered wrong, a spare tooth in a tin, a parrot that knows two words, a mended sail with three patches, a chart marked with a false bearing BREAK the shine of wet brass, sun through a bottle of rum, coins catching lantern light brass and lamplight. (pirate charts, candlelit cabin, detailed:1.2) the low sun across a long swell.
