A sweeping vista of an alien planet. It looks quite a lot like a desert scene from Earth, to be honest. The orange sand gives way to huge, jutting rocks. But in the background, there's a huge, low-hanging moon, and a turquoise sky climbing to starry black.

A piece of game artwork showing several versions of the same character in a tableau, which is very reminiscent of Da Vinci's Last Supper. They all wear a variation of the same pink tracksuit and are all arguing with each other or interacting in some way. It's an energetic image. They are all clones of the same person, living in a base together.
