## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a detailed 16-panel storyboard for a 15-second animated zero-gravity survival short in a hard-edged retro-futurist anime style.

Canvas: One wide 4:3 storyboard sheet divided into exactly 16 equal panels in a 4-column by 4-row grid, with thin black gutters. Put a small white panel number in the top-left corner of each panel, numbered 1 through 16. Use gritty cinematic lighting, dense linework, cel-shaded anime rendering, scratched metal textures, teal coolant vapor, floating debris, and red emergency lights throughout.

Setting: The derelict orbital station {station_name}, a damaged cylindrical maintenance corridor in zero gravity. The environment is dark, industrial, cramped, and full of exposed conduits, cracked panels, warning lights, sparks, drifting bolts, broken tools, and foggy teal coolant clouds.

Characters: Keep the same two original characters in every relevant panel. Character one is {young_survivor}. Character two is {veteran_survivor}. Both are floating in zero gravity, battered, urgent, and afraid but determined.

Panel-by-panel action, exactly 16 panels:
1. Wide establishing shot down the dark derelict corridor, teal coolant vapor billowing through the tunnel, red emergency lights glowing, debris drifting in zero gravity.
2. Close-up of a cracked digital warning monitor reading "00:14:87" and "HULL INTEGRITY FAILING" in red blocky text.
3. Dynamic shot of the young survivor flying forward through the corridor, arm outstretched toward the viewer, mechanical gauntlet visible, teal vapor behind her.
4. The veteran survivor braces himself against a wall panel and cuts or welds at a seam, producing bright orange sparks.
5. Wide shot showing both survivors separated in the corridor, the young survivor drifting left while the veteran is farther back, surrounded by teal vapor and debris.
6. Overhead/tilted zero-gravity view of broken station equipment, pipes, floating objects, and a burst of sparks in the distance.
7. Tight action close-up of the young survivor gripping a metal pipe or rail, face tense, orange suit scratched, red lights and smoke behind her.
8. Repeat-angle close shot of the veteran survivor still cutting the wall panel, shower of bright sparks, his torn sleeve and strained expression visible.
9. Side-profile close-up of the young survivor drifting past a cracked framed photograph or reflective panel showing two faces, suggesting a personal memory; she looks focused and worried.
10. Frontal close-up of the veteran survivor pushing forward through a hatchway or narrow passage, red warning lights behind him, one gloved hand raised toward the viewer.
11. Over-the-shoulder action shot from behind the young survivor as she reaches toward the veteran survivor across a corridor opening.
12. Wide shot through a dense teal coolant cloud with both survivors partially visible on opposite sides, debris tumbling between them.
13. Close-up of the veteran survivor reaching desperately toward camera through the floating debris and vapor, face strained.
14. Extreme close-up of the two survivors clasping gloved hands in zero gravity, centered against teal vapor and drifting debris.
15. Wide shot of both survivors pulling themselves toward a bright blue-white escape hatch or airlock at the end of the corridor, red emergency lights and teal smoke around them.
16. Final medium shot framed by a circular/rounded hatch: the young survivor and veteran survivor are side by side, floating toward the viewer, exhausted but alive, surrounded by cool blue hatch light and red station lights.

Visual style: Hard-edged retro-futurist anime storyboard, high-detail inked panels, gritty sci-fi survival mood, dynamic manga-style angles, dramatic foreshortening, heavy shadows, teal-and-red color palette, cinematic motion, no clean modern UI polish.

Constraints: Use exactly 16 numbered panels and no extra panels. Keep the same two characters, same derelict station, same teal coolant vapor, same red emergency lighting, and consistent costumes across the entire storyboard. Avoid speech bubbles, captions, watermarks, logos, or extra text except the panel numbers and the warning monitor text.
