Flat isometric illustration. A small simple hut sits on the top tier of a plinth. Directly beneath it, revealed as successive lower tiers, sits the vast supporting machinery that would actually be required to run it: layer on layer of dense equipment, each broader than the one above.

Flat isometric illustration. A room with a visible floor and two walls: a plain office interior containing a desk, a chair, shelving and a doorway. Three floorboards are missing at intervals across the room, each gap larger than the last. Furnished and inhabited-looking, not a void. No cables.
