**"A hyper-detailed industrial cyberpunk assembly line mass-producing Terminator-style robotic endoskeletons , bathed in the eerie glow of flickering neon and cold factory lighting. Towering hydraulic presses , robotic arms , and conveyor belts dominate the scene , their metallic surfaces gleaming with oil and grime. Thick plumes of black smoke rise from overworked machinery , curling toward the high , rusted ceiling where exposed pipes and ventilation ducts crisscross like veins. The robots on the line are in various stages of assembly—some half-formed with exposed wiring and skeletal frames , others nearly complete , their red sensor eyes flickering to life. The atmosphere is oppressive , a mix of industrial noise , hissing steam , and the hum of electricity , with a dystopian tension hanging in the air. The art style blends hyper-realistic mechanical precision with a gritty , cinematic cyberpunk aesthetic—sharp metallic textures , dramatic lighting contrasts , and a moody , high-detail composition that evokes the dark , futuristic tone of the *Terminator* universe. Include intricate reflections on wet factory floors , scattered tools , and the occasional spark from malfunctioning equipment to enhance the immersive , high-stakes industrial environment."** ,

Perfectly symmetrical wide shot (16:9) , level horizon , camera aligned with the central object , distance ~200 m. A massive rectangular granite hall in dark tones; clean , glossy , monumental surfaces. In the center — an exhibit: a large fragment of rock placed on a pedestal and a slight elevation; around it , an oval glass capsule is shattered , large and small shards scattered across the wide granite pathway and floating on the water. The rest of the hall is flooded — now the water is raging: powerful waves , ripples , splashes , wet reflections on the granite. High on the side walls — small windows , but no light comes through them anymore (black openings). The hall pulses with red emergency lighting: strobing flashes , deep shadows , crimson wash; red highlights tearing across the waves and wet surfaces. On the rock and walls , sharp hand-painted inscriptions in white paint , large and crude: “FAKE , ” “EXPOSURE , ” “ENOUGH LIES , ” “WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW THE TRUTH” (brush strokes , paint drips , partially smeared by water). A sunbeam piercing through an opening in the ceiling exists as an architectural detail but is almost completely drowned out by the red light. In the air — a fine mist of water and microscopic glass particles , bright specular highlights on the shards , the wet granite giving mirror-like reflections. The atmosphere is tense and chaotic , with a subliminal “25th frame” effect: barely perceptible visual tearing/stripes and brief RGB shifts along the edges of shards and inscriptions. High detail , realistic materials , dramatic lighting , cinematic concept art. ,
A dramatic Antarctic scene:Cinematic low-angle shot of a massive red and white icebreaker ship cutting through the frozen Antarctic ocean , its hull towering above the viewer as it approaches a mysterious ancient alien craft. The extraterrestrial vessel—sleek , metallic , and disc-shaped—is half-buried in the thick polar ice , projecting out the side of an iceberg at an angle. , its surface encrusted with millennia of frozen particles and frost. Towering blue-white icebergs frame the composition , their jagged peaks catching the harsh polar sunlight. The alien ship's hull gleams dully beneath layers of ice crystals , with strange geometric patterns barely visible through the frozen buildup. Steam rises from the icebreaker's heated hull as it cracks through the ice field. Brilliant lens flare streaks across the frame from the low Antarctic sun , creating dramatic light rays that illuminate the ice particles suspended in the frigid air. The scene conveys a sense of epic scale and otherworldly discovery , with the industrial might of human engineering confronting an artifact of alien origin in Earth's most remote wilderness. ,
