Pitch: One pilot flies a patron's escort with two medium laser hardpoints, a broad radiator hood and Arctica thrusters. It is gorgeous in the first exchange and has no spares in stock.

## Prompt

Design the Vasuki, a small single-pilot Alakrita escort gunship. Its whole body follows a cobra rearing with its hood spread, laid level for flight: one long, thick body rising into a broad, thick, rounded hood behind a small head. The hood is the radiator, a wide, thick slab with sharp creases fanning across it. One medium laser emitter sits at each outer edge of the hood. The cockpit is a narrow canopy where the cobra's eyes would be. The body behind the hood is long and smooth, tapering to two drive nozzles. Ivory lacquer body, wine-red hood face, gold inlay lines along each hood crease, a small gold inscription panel on the throat. One complete ship, centered with clear margin around it, three-quarter front view from slightly above showing the dorsal surface and one side; moderate lens; plain seamless light gray background; soft key light with gentle form shadows; matte finishes throughout.
