+# Ranger Archive V2 Bilingual Epigraphs — Design
+
+## Deliverable
+
+Create twenty bilingual original epigraphs, one for each V2 project image. Every item contains one self-sufficient English sentence and one self-sufficient Chinese sentence expressing the same idea.
+
+## Editorial direction
+
+- These are original epigraphs, not quotations from the referenced science-fiction works.
+- English is written as English rather than produced by literal word-for-word translation.
+- Chinese may be more compressed, but may not introduce a different claim.
+- Each pair must refer to a concrete object or event in its corresponding V2 image.
+- Each pair must also express the project’s distinctive act of knowing: measuring, coupling, testing, recovering, certifying, remembering, bounding, transporting, or generating.
+- Avoid generic interchangeable claims about humanity being small, the universe being large, seeking answers, or facing the unknown.
+- Use no quotation marks or false attribution to an author or fictional character.
+- Keep each sentence short enough to sit beneath a PR hero image.
+
+## Output structure
+
+The final artifact is `docs/showcase/ranger-archive/CAPTIONS-v2.md`. Items are numbered 01–20 in the same order as the image manifest. Each item includes the issue or project, the science-fiction lens, an English sentence, and a Chinese sentence.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. Exactly twenty numbered bilingual pairs exist.
+2. Every English and Chinese entry is one complete sentence.
+3. Every item maps to the same-numbered V2 image and project.
+4. No pair is presented as a source quotation.
+5. No two pairs are interchangeable without losing a specific visual or scientific connection.
+6. English and Chinese agree in meaning while remaining idiomatic.

+# Lost Science-Fiction Covers V2 — Design
+
+## Purpose
+
+Redesign the twenty Ranger Archive banners as twenty unrelated “lost science-fiction book covers.” The first version failed because a shared deep-space palette, glowing geometry, circles, networks, and a recurring probe made distinct subjects look like variants of one generic AI-science-fiction image.
+
+The second version prioritizes human-scale places, used objects, weather, season, and publishing history. It does not retain the Ranger probe or a common rendering style.
+
+## Approved direction
+
+- Direction: **twenty books from different eras and publishing cultures**, 100%.
+- Human presence: people do not need to appear; their use, absence, labor, and memory must remain visible in objects and environments.
+- Variation: each image uses a materially different medium, location, time, weather, palette, and dominant silhouette.
+- Recognition: each science-fiction work is recognizable through an iconic but ordinary setting or object.
+- Copyright boundary: do not copy a film frame, actor likeness, franchise logo, proprietary spacecraft, or cover layout. Reinterpret the work through original composition.
+- Scientific subject: appears as one anomaly inside the ordinary scene, not as a generic glowing diagram.
+- Output: 2.5:1 PR banner, no generated title or caption.
+- Preservation: keep the first version under `assets/missions`; save the redesign under `assets/missions-v2`.
+
+## Twenty covers
+
+| # | Project × work | Publishing medium | Human place and trace | Scientific anomaly |
+|---:|---|---|---|---|
+| 01 | Issue #148 × *2001: A Space Odyssey* | 1970s large-format landscape photograph | Dewy dawn grassland, survey stakes, abandoned canvas field bag | A severe black slab divides triangular and honeycomb plots; brass measuring rods imply √5 |
+| 02 | Issue #35 × *The Wandering Earth* | 1960s Chinese gouache science poster | Snowbound school courtyard, enamel lunch bowl, red wool scarf, engine towers beyond rooftops | Water in the bowl and window glass share the same phonon ripple |
+| 03 | Issue #114 × *The Martian* | Faded instant-film field documentation | Mars greenhouse bench, potatoes, duct tape, wrench, stained verification checklist | One repaired tensor device passes a row of physical reference tests |
+| 04 | Issue #71 × *The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy* | 1980s British comic paperback illustration | Roadside café table, tea, towel, scribbled receipt bearing 42, absurd folded road atlas | All routes run backward from 42 toward an empty question box |
+| 05 | Issue #82 × *I, Robot* | 1950s three-color silkscreen | Drafting desk, typewriter, punched rule cards, pencil corrections, articulated metal hand | Three rule cards admit one syntax branch and mechanically reject another |
+| 06 | Issue #73 × *Arrival* | Ink wash and translucent watercolor | Foggy meadow outside a temporary language classroom, wet glass, notebook and rubber gloves | A single imperfect ink glyph leaves a measurable phase offset at its seam |
+| 07 | Quantum Geometry × *Flatland* | 1880s hand-colored copper engraving | Victorian study, checked tablecloth, ruler, teacup and spectacles | The printed grid physically rises and bends while its ink inhabitants remain flat |
+| 08 | Issue #230 × *Anathem* | Medieval illuminated manuscript and egg tempera | Sunlit stone cloister, open proof book, wax tablet, extinguished candle | Shadows of two columns form certified lower and upper bounds around a gold horizon |
+| 09 | Issue #115 × *Project Hail Mary* | 1970s technical-airbrush paperback | Improvised interstellar workbench, coffee pouch, burned circuit, handmade alien material sample | A fragile circuit is rebuilt as a rugged rust-colored core across two environmental zones |
+| 10 | Issue #33 × *Ender’s Game* | 1980s arcade-box screenprint | Empty dormitory desk, scuffed shoes, handheld tactical board, wooden fleet pieces | One economical gold move solves a board crowded with costly alternatives |
+| 11 | Issue #36 × *The Expanse* | Industrial photo-collage and shipping ephemera | Worn asteroid cargo dock, grease pencil, gloves, ration tin, numbered loading bays | A conveyor cycle returns to its start while one sealed parcel advances exactly one bay |
+| 12 | Issue #129 × *Interstellar* | Naturalistic 35mm rural cinema still | Green cornfield and grass, weathered farmhouse, porch chalkboard, wristwatch and child’s model | A determinant grid on the board bends toward a small gravitational distortion in the sky |
+| 13 | Issue #121 × *Roadside Picnic* | Gritty 1970s Eastern European documentary photograph | Overgrown rail yard, abandoned lunch, survey flags, muddy boot prints | Dangerous debris floats above false paths; one ordinary footprint trail remains sign-safe |
+| 14 | Issue #122 × *Solaris* | 1960s Polish art-film still | Quiet dacha room, empty chair, half-cut apple, analog instruments, window onto the sea | The ocean repeats the room’s waveform with a critical delay |
+| 15 | Issue #123 × *Recursion* | 1990s family-photo contact sheet and VHS texture | The same kitchen photographed at four dates, tape recorder, birthday objects subtly displaced | An earlier frame leaks into a later one, making memory visibly non-Markovian |
+| 16 | Issue #15 × *Death’s End* | Contemporary Chinese literary-cover painting | Golden wheat field on black crystalline soil, old silver jacket hung on a scarecrow | Wheat bends into opposite left- and right-handed gravitational textures |
+| 17 | Hydrodynamics × *Dune* | Japanese woodblock print with mineral pigments | Desert survey camp, water flask, folded cloth, footprints erased by wind | Individual grains transition into river-like streamlines and one breaking vortex |
+| 18 | Issue #158 × *The Dark Forest* | Rough charcoal and linocut | Snowy forest clearing, cold camp stove, radio notebook, distant dark trunks | Sparse local tree marks gradually align into long-range order across the whole forest |
+| 19 | Issue #128 × *Foundation* | 1950s modernist paper collage | Vast reading room under a city dome, paper timelines, punched cards, librarian’s lamp | Many future strips diverge; a transparent error ruler contains only certified trajectories |
+| 20 | Issue #133 × *The Last Question* | 1960s risograph educational-magazine cover | Empty classroom at sunrise, chalk dust, stacks of accepted and rejected question cards | An electromechanical problem press validates many inputs and releases one blank luminous seed |
+
+## Anti-repetition matrix
+
+- No recurring protagonist, probe, logo, border, or color accent.
+- Only #06 may use a circular glyph as the dominant form.
+- Only #11 may use a closed transport cycle, rendered as a physical conveyor rather than a light ring.
+- Only #12 may feature a gravitational sky phenomenon.
+- Only #18 may use a predominantly black forest.
+- At least twelve covers are daylight or interior-light scenes rather than deep space or night.
+- At least ten covers use visibly worn domestic, agricultural, educational, or workshop objects.
+- Adjacent covers must differ in medium, dominant color, horizon geometry, and spatial scale.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+1. Twenty distinct V2 PNG files exist, one per mapped project.
+2. Every file is approximately 2.5:1 and suitable for a PR banner.
+3. No two files are byte-identical or near-duplicate compositions.
+4. A contact sheet shows immediate medium, palette, location, and silhouette variation.
+5. Each image contains the specified recognizable setting/object and scientific anomaly.
+6. No image contains visible franchise logos, copied actors, watermarks, or unusable generated text.
+7. The first version remains intact for comparison.
