Prompt:
A remote research outpost lies half-buried in crystalline regolith on a tidally locked exoplanet. The comms mast, snapped mid-collapse, emits a faint, impossible carrier tone despite decades of abandonment. Positioned along the planet’s terminator line, the outpost straddles perpetual twilight and frozen darkness. Iridescent ice formations rise like mineral spires around fractured habitat domes. Low-gravity dust drifts in slow arcs, scattering starlight into razor-thin beams. An investigative stillness saturates the clearing. Frost coats every surface, yet dormant consoles pulse with intermittent light. The signal wavers—neither human nor mechanical. The silence feels expectant, as though the outpost is listening back. Micro-drones hover near the collapsed mast, recording its erratic transmission. Crystalline shards crack under shifting thermal gradients. A damaged relay dish rotates with failing servos, locking repeatedly on a vector pointing toward deep interstellar darkness. Cosmic surrealism, radiant gradient haze, volumetric frost haze, disciplined speculars, dynamic composition, heroic framing, hard surface detailing, crystalline refraction bloom, atmospheric depth, void backdrop isolation. As the carrier tone stabilizes, nearby ice structures resonate in sympathetic vibration—forming geometric patterns across their surfaces, as if the planet itself is returning the signal.
