Copy-paste Prompt

[spoken word only]
In the silence between the stars...
a ship awakens.
Forged from wreckage, bound by purpose—
the Scavenger sails once more.
Through the Flow, through darkness and light,
she carries hope... and heals the stars.

[style]
Cinematic Orchestral + Electronic Hybrid.
Slow-building with deep synth bass, shimmering pads, ambient percussion,
and sweeping strings that rise into a majestic theme.
Mood: heroic, mysterious, hopeful — evoking exploration, unity, and wonder.
Strictly narration at the beginning, then instrumental only.
Imagine a grand space opera opening sequence — Star Trek meets Interstellar.
