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 The turn: an order given twice and then withdrawn.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 MENDING — (the old sweater, loved longer:1.3) a woven tapestry deer in a glade — tatted in fine lace chains — loose gauge showing the gift of time, quilting the three layers into one over a damaged favorite at a workshop shelf of labeled yarn. joyful in small loops of devotion, the cool light of a snowy window sill table-lamp. (Repair close-up, the mend visible and proud, not hidden). a 24mm for the studio wide, a basket at the frame's edge for scale. BREAK a tangle of color on the table the darning mushroom; the well-worn cushion of a chair, a rug braided from old clothes the wooden table; a cat eyeing the yarn ball, a mouse nesting in the wool scraps, a moth with no idea how lucky it is the companion animal. a shelf of colored yarn cubbies the wardrobe it belongs to. BREAK mohair halo catching the sun, a glass bead catching light on a felt eye, a needle glinting mid-felt on the matching thread. the first stitch ever made, still visible, a cat hair worked into the weave, a seam re-sewn three times, a row counter clicking, a moth-hole mended with a flower
