Fleet-State Expressions

Ed's face reacts to the fleet. Each emotion maps to an overdue severity threshold — from "all clear" to "critical." Generated via Higgsfield (nano_banana_2) using the original artwork as reference input.

Steady

Neutral default / working

Slight closed-mouth smile, calm confident ready-to-work stance. The baseline Ed.

Cheerful

Fleet healthy / all on track

Big wide grin, eyes closed in joy, gold sparkle effects radiating around head. All services on track.

hf:12811fef

Watchful

Items approaching interval

Side-glance, one eyebrow raised, flat mouth, suspicious look. Services on the horizon.

hf:b1992c62

Concerned

Services past interval (overdue)

Furrowed brows, downturned frown, uneasy posture. One or more services have lapsed.

hf:6c945d35

Alarmed

Critical / badly overdue (20+ days)

Wide open eyes, open mouth gasp, sweat drop, hands clutching dungaree straps. Critical overdue state.

Steady and Cheerful are closest to the original source proportions and solid-fill dungarees. Watchful drifted taller/leaner with a white cap. Concerned lost the solid fill (outline only). Alarmed reads well emotionally but the fill weight is lighter. Re-runs can tighten consistency by emphasising "solid navy filled dungarees, stout round proportions matching reference" in the prompt.
