A surreal digital forest representing cyberspace, with impossibly tall glowing trees shifting colors--pink, green, blue, yellow. Floating among them: a translucent beetle avatar, shimmering data-creatures like multicolored birds, iridescent insects, and snake-like reptiles with glowing circuit patterns. In the distance: a colossal tree radiating magnetic energy, with sprouting branches where message-birds land and vanish. Scattered below: wireframe fields, carmine lakes, violet-lit mesh networks, and ghostly golden obelisks.

A vast, futuristic interstellar spaceport beneath a towering, mist-filled ceiling that drizzles a faint indoor rain. The structure is massive and worn, with flickering neon signs in alien alphabets and aging metal surfaces. Holographic billboards shimmer erratically above the bustling crowd of alien travelers from thousands of worlds. In the foreground: a small, 3-foot-tall greenish humanoid with red eyes, vaguely Yoda-like, alert and focused (Twiglet), standing beside an 8-foot-tall figure (Uful’lan) covered in dark blue-black fur, wearing round, frameless glasses and a garish souvenir T-shirt that reads “MY CLONE WENT TO NEW XANADU AND I ONLY GOT THIS LOUSY T-SHIRT.” Uful’lan has large, majestic eagle-like wings folded behind him. The crowd parts instinctively as they pass, intimidated by his towering figure. A massive holoscreen above reads: “ROBOCABS FOR ALL DESTINATIONS.”
