Scene prompt - Course III scene B: the pod (one IP, shared fate)

v2 diagram: the jacket around containers - app, sidecar, initContainer, volumes, probes, one shared network namespace. Six parts. Generate ~4 at 16:9, curate with the reject checklist, save to disk for pickup.


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: one sealed capsule blown open into its six pieces, all floating apart in the void, mid-explosion.

The two halves of the capsule shell, upper left and upper right: smooth semi-transparent frosted-glass shells with a soft cyan rim glow, clearly two halves of one enclosure that has been opened, each floating alone.

Centre: the main core - an upright glowing cylinder of dark metal and glass with a strong cyan light column inside it, the heart of the scene and its brightest object.

Beside the core, slightly smaller: a companion cylinder of the same design language but with a magenta light column, clearly a partner unit rather than a twin.

Below the core: a flat gate wedge - a low dark chamfered block with a single amber-white glowing edge, positioned underneath everything like a foundation step.

To the lower right: a short stack of three thin crystalline discs with faint cyan edge light, neatly aligned but not touching, storage-like and passive.


Build-side notes (not part of the prompt)

  • Slice plan: 6 polygons - shell half L, shell half R, app core, sidecar cylinder, initContainer gate wedge, volume disc stack. Collapse closes the shell around the contents (the jacket); scrub blows it open to the hero. Clamp at hero.
  • Probes: NOT in the image - startup/readiness/liveness are legend entries + a small DOM accent on the core, keeping the part count sliceable. The exit-137 field note stays with this scene.
  • Legend mapping (v2 terms): shared network namespace "one IP" / app container "your process" / sidecar "proxy, logs, reload" / initContainer "runs first, to completion - the gatekeeper" / volumes "shared mounts" / probes "startup -> readiness -> liveness".
  • Watermark: Gemini sparkle bottom-right - strip with bztmon-site/scripts/dewatermark.mjs before slicing.
