A dark, photorealistic futuristic machine with a glowing blue-purple energy core, venting steam. Digital text: 'CORE INTEGRITY: 10%'.

A powerful 4K view of a fusion core or energy regulator in the process of a controlled shutdown. The central chamber glows with rapidly diminishing blue and violet light, which is slowly being contained by retractable, thick metallic shielding closing in from the sides. Digital indicators embedded in the shielding show 'CORE INTEGRITY: 10%' and rapidly decreasing. Steam vents from the chamber's top as the cooling process begins. The scene should be visually loud with mechanical action and the fading but intense light of the core. See more
