![black and white manga panel, dramatic speed lines, Akira aesthetic, bold ink work, An immense geodesic sphere crafted from interlocking pentagonal plates of blackened forged iron, each plate etched with hair-fine concentric rings and riveted with dull bronze bolts; exactly one vertex holds a small, blindingly white sphere of compressed light that spits out a full three-sixty degree burst of razor-thin speed lines, the lines extending into the infinite darkness until they curve downward as if drawn by gravity. The light source is a single directional shaft from directly above, striking the active node while the rest of the lattice falls into near-total shadow. The atmosphere is cathedral-like in its stillness, suffused with the tension of a structure that has just been switched on, with empty space stretching enormously around it.
