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 The turn: an order given twice and then withdrawn.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 FESTIVAL — (the one night the town is loud:1.2) an archer of the wall guard — in rainwear of oiled paper and hemp, festival dress — fishing with a single line in a bamboo grove at dusk among lanterns and crowd. salt wind off the fishing bay warm; fleeting and wistful fleetingly joyful. (Wide festival composition, lanterns and figures in depth). a 40mm at f/2.8 through paper screens, bamboo cutting the frame in verticals. BREAK wet cobblestones with reflections of lantern color; a wooden bridge's wet planks, wooden clogs' marks in the mud the crowded paving; a dog asleep at the gate, a sparrow in the temple rafters, a heron standing in the shallows the festival's cats and dogs. a five-story pagoda in the mist the shrine lit at the street's end. an incense stick half burned, sandal cords replaced three times, the same umbrella shared, a poem tucked into a sleeve, a poem card on a temple pillar BREAK sun on polished armor scales, lamp oil catching in a bowl, steam rising off the tea, light through sake in a cup every lantern and stall. (japanese festival, lanterns, lively yet painterly:1.2) a paper lantern's warm pool.
