cinematic film-quality slightly-grainy analog film still . A science fiction scene set in a deserted starship crew commons deck. Against the back bulkhead, a large ancient plains-dwelling squat armour-plated body, an alien creature, is locking horns with a rival. It is a silicate browser, covered in brass-gold sleek short-bristled hide. It has four articulated arms, a pair of quilled ridges and four whisker filaments. It bears a single sulphur-yellow luminous stripe and a vertical slit mouth. A hatch standing open at the far end is visible behind it.
