A massive machine resembling a fortress on wheels crawls across a jagged volcanic plain during a solar eclipse. Its towering smokestacks belch plumes of black steam, merging with the darkened sky. The machine’s front is a giant drill-like structure, tearing into the earth and leaving a glowing, molten trail behind. Above, the blackened sun is ringed with a fiery halo, its dim light reflecting off the machine’s massive armored plates. Tiny vehicles and workers scramble across its surface, their lights barely visible against the scale of the mechanical monstrosity.
