{"prompt":"A dynamic wide shot, from a slightly low angle, captures a bustling, innovative Namekian-Viking engineering forge. The grand hall, carved from dark, rugged stone with ancient Namekian runes etched into its towering walls, blends the architectural majesty of a Viking longhouse with advanced technological marvels. Colossal, partially assembled handling and lifting equipment - imagined as intricate, green-energy-powered Namekian machinery with visible gears, articulate arms, and robust chassis - looms in the background, bathed in pulsating green auras, hinting at advanced mechanical and mechatronics fields.In the foreground, a seasoned Namekian mentor stands prominently. He is a muscular, green-skinned humanoid with sharp, wise facial features and long pointed ears, dressed in an ornate, rugged fur cloak over finely tooled leather armor, adorned with metallic belts and a majestic horned helmet from which soft green light subtly emanates. With a powerful hand, he gestures towards a shimmering, three-dimensional holographic schematic displaying complex mechanical blueprints for a new lifting device, embodying the mentorship and career preparation aspects of the bursary.Around him, several younger Namekian students, equally muscular and green-skinned, with keen, focused expressions, are actively engaged. They wear more practical but still distinctly Viking-style leather armor, some with smaller, less ornate helmets. One student intently manipulates a smaller, glowing mechanical component on a workbench filled with intricate Namekian tools and holographic display tablets, representing hands-on work experience. Another young Namekian operates a miniature, fully functional model of a telehandler, its green energy core humming softly, demonstrating practical application in industrial equipment technology. The air is thick with a determined, hopeful atmosphere of innovation and learning.Cinematic lighting combines the warm, flickering glow of torch-like energy lamps scattered throughout the hall with the dominant, mystical green light emanating from the advanced machinery and holographic projections. Streaks of cold, pale moonlight filter through high, narrow windows, creating sharp contrasts and highlighting the determined faces of the characters. The overall mood is epic and inspiring, emphasizing a future built through ingenuity and mentorship within a powerful, ancient culture, representing the comprehensive support system of the bursary.
