Stalking Towards the Lava Red Horizon of Xeridia-7088
Dr. Zhang, the team's chief scientist, consulted her scanner, her brow furrowed in concentration. 'Captain, I'm reading a massive thermal anomaly emanating from the geyser. We need to remain cautious.' The team's youngest Lieutenant Ryder gazed up at the spectacle in awe. 'Whoa, look at that! It's like nothing I've ever seen!' Captain Orion's expression turned stern. 'Remember, we're here to collect data, not to gawk. Let's move in slowly and get some readings. We don't know what kind of hazards we might encounter.'
The team could still feel the intense heat, even while wearing fully protective gear, emanating from the molten rock as they approached the geyser. The air was thick with sulfur and other chemical gases as their bio-suits continued to warn them of the hazards swirling within the ground-level atmosphere. Dr. Zhang's eyes sparkled with excitement as she began to collect samples, her gloved hands moving with precision. Lieutenant Ryder hovered nearby, his eyes fixed on the churning lava, his mind racing with the implications of this alien phenomenon.
Captain Orion stood tall, her eyes scanning the horizon, her mind focused on the mission. 'Let's move in closer. We have a lot to learn from this place.'

Batman Standing in the Rain
Batman stands resolute in the pouring rain, the dark skies illuminated only by the distant flashes of lightning, his Dark Knight silhouette. I created this image with NightCafe AI Image generator and then did some artifact clean-ups.

Space Base Exilon-4
Located on the surface of the Moon, Space Base Exilon-4 is a state-of-the-art research facility dedicated to advancing humanity's understanding of the universe. The base is a hub for scientists, engineers, and explorers from around the world, working together to push the boundaries of space exploration and development.
The Research Focus: Super-Helium Production
One of the primary research focuses at Space Base Exilon-4 is the production of super-helium, a rare and highly valuable isotope of helium-3 (He-3). This isotope has the potential to revolutionize the field of nuclear fusion, offering a clean and sustainable source of energy.
The research team at Space Base Exilon-4 is working to develop a scalable and efficient method for extracting and processing He-3 from the lunar regolith. This involves a combination of advanced drilling and excavation techniques, as well as innovative processing methods to extract the valuable isotope from the Moon's soil.
The Benefits of Super-Helium Production
The production of super-helium at Space Base Exilon-4 has far-reaching implications for humanity's energy future. By harnessing the power of nuclear fusion, we can:
- Reduce greenhouse gas emissions: Nuclear fusion is a zero-carbon source of energy, offering a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels.
- Increase energy security: With a reliable and sustainable source of energy, we can reduce our reliance on finite resources and mitigate the risks of energy price volatility.
- Foster international cooperation: The development of super-helium production at Space Base Exilon-4 is a collaborative effort, bringing together scientists and engineers from around the world to advance our understanding of the universe.
While the potential benefits of super-helium production are significant, there are also challenges to overcome. These include:
- Technical hurdles: Developing a scalable and efficient method for extracting and processing He-3 from the lunar regolith is a complex task that requires significant advances in materials science, engineering, and physics.
- Logistical challenges: Establishing a sustainable presence on the Moon requires significant investments in infrastructure, including life support systems, energy generation, and communication networks.
- International cooperation: The development of super-helium production at Space Base Exilon-4 requires international cooperation and collaboration, which can be challenging to achieve.

A Set of Aliens Living in New York (inspired from John Carpenter's THEY LIVE)
I fed Travis Fox's image that I purchased last year featuring a They Live-themed alien into Bing Co-Pilot and had it spit out some AI-generated images. I brought them all into the Affinity Photo, cleaned up glitches, and made a few minor fixes.

Tusks of the Blood Moon: Red Death Lurks Beneath the Blubber
Tagline: “Red Death Lurks Beneath the Blubber…”
Synopsis: Amid the unforgiving wilderness, a remote whaling outpost harbors secrets darker than the Arctic night. The townsfolk speak in hushed tones of a murderous walrus, a creature that emerges only during the blood moon—a time when the line between life and death blurs.
Captain Elias Blackwood, a grizzled seafarer haunted by past sins, leads a ragtag crew aboard the Frostfang. Their mission: to hunt the elusive walrus that has left a trail of mutilated bodies in its wake. But this is no ordinary beast. Its tusks are stained with blood, and its eyes hold ancient malevolence.
As the blood moon rises, the crew ventures deeper into madness. Dr. Isadora Hart, a brilliant naturalist, unravels cryptic Inuit legends that foretell doom. She warns of a curse that binds the walrus to vengeance—a curse that transcends time and reason. First Mate Magnus Bjornsson, a man of few words and hidden scars, battles his own demons. His obsession with the walrus borders on madness, fueled by memories of a fateful encounter years ago. The Village of Togiak quivers in fear. The walrus strikes under the cover of blizzards, dragging victims into icy depths. Its hunger knows no bounds, and its thirst for revenge drives it relentlessly.
As the Frostfang sails toward Round Island, the crew faces not only the wrath of the elements but also their own guilt and regrets. The blood moon looms large, casting shadows on the frozen sea. The walrus awaits, its tusks honed for slaughter. But what if the walrus is more than a mere beast? What if it carries the sins of humanity, seeking retribution for crimes long buried in the ice?
Tusks of the Blood Moon is a bone-chilling tale of survival, redemption, and the primal forces that bind us to the abyss. As the crew confronts their darkest fears, they must answer one question: Can they escape the walrus’s wrath, or will they become its next victims?
Prepare for a voyage into madness. The tusks are hungry, and the blood moon calls…
