Prompt

A cinematic sci-fi mystery set during a violent Martian sandstorm.

0–3s: A lone astronaut struggles across the red Martian desert during a massive sandstorm. Visibility is low, winds howl violently, and warning alerts flicker inside the helmet HUD.

3–6s: Lightning flashes through the storm, briefly revealing enormous ancient stone structures buried beneath the sand. The astronaut stops in shock as glowing alien symbols begin illuminating under the dust.

6–9s: The explorer enters a gigantic hidden temple doorway carved into a mountain. Massive pillars rise into darkness while strange blue energy pulses through the walls. Footsteps echo in silence.

9–12s: Deep inside the temple, an enormous floating artifact activates as the astronaut approaches. Ancient holographic star maps appear in the air showing galaxies, Earth, and unknown civilizations.

12–15s: Final cinematic shot — the astronaut stands before a colossal glowing alien throne while the storm outside clears, revealing the full ancient city hidden beneath Mars for thousands of years.
