A grand, vertical establishing shot reveals the awe-inspiring industrial beauty of HMS Aetheria's engine room, 10,000 feet in the air, as the camera slowly rises to showcase the massive mechanical worldbuilding. The foreground features intricate pressure gauges, valve wheels, and brass piping, with patina on copper, condensation, and rivets adding to the worn aesthetic. The midground showcases the main drive gears, steam pistons, and catwalks, with polished brass, iron framework, and leather drive belts highlighting the mechanical complexity. The background features upper decks visible above the main machinery, with coal furnaces and ventilation shafts adding to the sense of scale, as well as heat shimmers, worker silhouettes, and smoke stacks creating a hazy atmosphere. Warm, flickering furnace glow illuminates the space from below and sides, while electric arc lamps provide harsh white-blue spotlights on key machinery, portholes cutting through the steam with daylight white shafts, and indicator lights accenting with amber and red points throughout.
