Add a darker foreground band of autumn leaves and a rusty railing along the bottom edge, gentle haze on the far trees, sunlight glinting on the creek, a few drifting leaves.

Location: the rusty blue-green girder maze of Rusty Creek (third image). On a broad girder deck the hero from the second image (THD poncho, shadow-filled hood) swings a honey-plywood stacking chair with thin black steel legs in a HORIZONTAL SIDE SWEEP into a six-legged autonomous crab robot, which is knocked back with a small white impact flash and a few sparks and bolts (Dead Cells-style hit feel: short, crisp, readable). Further along the deck a small yellow-wheeled autonomous rover charges in, its lidar glowing red; above, a black autonomous quadcopter drone hovers out of reach. Minimal HUD in the top-left: five battery cells (four full) and a three-segment glitch meter. Dark blurred foreground leaves at the bottom edge. Clean readable silhouettes, no gore.",
