A textbook arc-up barcode: act one opens on the drab browns of Sentinel III before
Gene Starwind's life explodes into vivid motion. The warm midpoint spike captures the
episode's centrepiece — a shootout in saturated neon lighting — before the third act
settles into the quieter reds of the stars themselves. The Red-Orange dominance is
Sunrise's house style of the era: bold, warm, never subtle. Gene Starwind shoots first
and asks questions in primary colors.
