PELICAN

A grotesque alien with a golden crown and a glowing eye implant leans forward, extending a hand toward a human man in a dark, high-tech chamber with a large clock-like window; the man reacts with a grimace as the alien speaks. The scene cuts to a close-up of a shattered, dark mechanical object, then to a woman in a grey uniform aiming a pistol at a figure in a dark cloak, with another soldier visible in the background.
