Use reference images 1, 2, 3, and 4 for the characters. Preserve their facial identities completely, including exact facial geometry, skin tone, eye color, and age. Do not alter their faces, age them, or beautify them. Identity preservation is crucial.

Create an ultracinematic, hyperrealistic, epic RAW photograph depicting a scene from a big-budget live-action film in the style of Ridley Scott’s *Alien: Covenant* (2017).

Four characters stand in formation inside the Engineers’ pyramid, in the egg chamber. Their expressions are tense and focused as they look at something off-frame. Show sweat on their skin and labored breathing, conveying fear and concentration.

COSTUME DETAILS — Dress them in Weyland-Yutani *Covenant* expedition EVA suits, identical to those in the film: durable technical-fabric pressure suits in off-white and light gray, with visible Nomex weave and sealed seams; high-visibility yellow tactical vests with metal buckles and straps; compact life-support backpacks attached to their backs, with corrugated hoses, status LEDs, and a chest-mounted control module; articulated gloves with black tactical rubber coating; reinforced boots; and transparent spherical helmets with thick metal locking rings. The anti-glare visors should be slightly mirrored, with subtle condensation inside. White LED lights mounted on the helmets are on.

EQUIPMENT DETAILS — Use props identical to those in *Alien: Covenant*: one character holds a portable Weyland-Yutani multispectral terrain scanner with a blue holographic display; another holds an M41A pulse rifle with an attached flashlight; a third carries a motion tracker/bio-scanner; and the fourth carries a flamethrower. Give all equipment realistic signs of wear, scratches, and dirt.

ENVIRONMENT DETAILS — Show the interior of the Engineers’ pyramid, identical to its appearance in *Prometheus* / *Alien: Covenant*: monumental megalithic architecture, a 20-meter-high vaulted ceiling, and dark basalt walls adorned with complex biomechanical murals in Giger’s style and Engineer hieroglyphs. Symmetrical corridors disappear into darkness. The floor is covered with a thin layer of ancient dust, remnants of black goo, and low-lying cold mist. The central area is filled with dozens of Xenomorph eggs (ovomorphs), leathery, ovoid, semitransparent, wet, and slimy, with visible veins and biological moisture. Some eggs are slightly open and release vapor. A subtle bioluminescent glow emanates from the eggs. An ancient sacrificial altar stands at the center.

LIGHTING — Use feature-film cinematic lighting. Let the helmets’ lights provide a soft, directional key light, with subtle fill light and delicate rim light separating the subjects from the background. Use natural shadows with a soft gradient, natural HDR with a wide dynamic range, physically accurate specular reflections, and subtle atmospheric volumetrics, including light mist and visible dust particles in the light beams. Show subsurface scattering in the skin and realistic skin-light interaction.

CAMERA AND QUALITY — Captured on ARRI ALEXA 65 with a 50 mm DNA Prime lens, f/2.0, ISO 800, 180-degree shutter, and native 8K RAW. Use extreme sharpness and microdetail: visible skin pores and natural skin-oil texture; individual hairs, beard hairs, and eyebrow hairs with realistic light reflections; fabric fibers, seams, and surface imperfections; and fine grain typical of digital cinema sensors. Render biologically accurate skin tones, balanced contrast, deep blacks with preserved detail, soft highlights with an organic roll-off, natural restrained colors, and high-end cinematic color grading in the ARRI / Kodak Vision3 LUT style, with an extremely natural appearance. Compose in classic 2.39:1 widescreen anamorphic format, with sophisticated visual balance, the rule of thirds, and an epic sense of scale.

Photorealistic, hyperrealistic, 8K, RAW photography, with no CGI appearance. --ar 2.39:1 --style raw --chaos 5

NEGATIVE PROMPT — Do not include: cartoons, illustrations, anime, paintings, drawings, 3D renders, CGI, plastic- or wax-like skin, doll faces, airbrushed or excessively smoothed skin, artificial skin texture, oversaturated colors, artificial HDR, excessive sharpness, artificial bokeh, deformed faces, face swaps, different faces, changes to ethnicity or age, extra limbs or fingers, deformed hands, fused bodies, faces inside helmets, open or broken helmets, spacesuits from other films (such as *Interstellar* or *The Martian*), clean studio lighting, flat lighting, overexposure, underexposure, low resolution, blur, noise, JPEG compression artifacts, watermarks, text, or logos. Avoid excessively graphic horror and do not show an adult Xenomorph.
