Dark technical exploded-view illustration in a cinematic sci-fi engineering style.
Solid near-black deep void background, hex #070b14 - completely clean: no stars, no grid,
no texture, no particles behind or around the objects. Matte dark metal-and-glass surfaces
with glowing neon edge lighting: primary cyan #3fbaf5, secondary magenta #e879f9 accents,
cool white rim highlights. Camera: fixed 30-degree isometric angle, subject perfectly
centered with generous empty margins on all sides. Even studio lighting, no vignette,
no lens flare, no depth-of-field blur. ABSOLUTELY NO text, no letters, no numbers, no
words, no code, no glyphs, no labels, no arrows, no callout lines, no UI elements
anywhere in the image - every surface marking must be an abstract geometric pattern
only. Every component is fully separated from its neighbours by generous gaps of pure
void - nothing touching, nothing overlapping, and no beams, cables, or connectors
spanning between the separated parts.

The subject: five machines arranged in a descending diagonal chain from upper left to
lower right, one workstation pulled apart into its stations, each floating alone with
generous void between them.

First, upper left: a compact command module - a dark angular unit with a bright cyan
glowing visor strip across its front, alert and directive, the driver of the chain.

Second: a powerful engine block - the largest unit, dark layered metal with visible
stacked internal plates glowing faint cyan at their edges, an industrial machine built
to assemble and launch things.

Third: a wiring hub - a dark ring-shaped unit with evenly spaced glowing cyan ports
around its rim and one bright magenta port, clearly the connector of the group.

Fourth, lower right: a routing prism - a faceted dark crystal wedge with thin magenta
light tracing its edges, sharp and directional.

Fifth, floating just above the chain's midpoint: a small sealed capsule - a smooth dark
pill-shaped pod with a soft white-cyan glow, the payload this whole chain exists to run,
descending toward the engine block but not touching anything.

## Build-side notes (not part of the prompt)

- **Slice plan:** 5 polygons - kubelet visor module, containerd engine, CNI ring hub,
  kube-proxy prism, the pod capsule. Collapse packs the chain into one tight machine
  (capsule docked); scrub opens the diagonal and lets the capsule hover. Clamp at hero.
- **Legend mapping (v2 terms):** kubelet "node agent - the only thing that starts your
  container" / containerd/CRI-O "pulls images, runs containers (CRI)" / CNI plugin
  "a real IP per pod" / kube-proxy or eBPF "makes Services route" / pod "lands here".
- **Watermark:** Gemini sparkle bottom-right - strip with
  `bztmon-site/scripts/dewatermark.mjs` before slicing.
