A Type-4 planoformic xenomorph forming a dimensionally compressed subtring
metasphere to facilitate hyper-luminal velocity insertion.

Translation: I had ten minutes to kill so I dreamed this up and some
gobbledygook to go along with it.

That is the first time I see one at the very moment of insertion!! Normally, 
you cannot witness this event, but you were probably already in a subspace 
status too.

Translation: Nice! I particularly like the gobbledygook!

Cover the metasphere. Mine eyes dazzle.

Yeah but...it looks like some sort of bag

Anyway I cannot dissect how you did this, which is good. I enjoy the 
imagination and effort. I would like the image more, but you have a very 
harsh color sense to my eye.  Just one of those things.  People differ. 
  I am sure my images all look dark and murky to you.

Who's to say a dimensionally compressed substring metasphere does not look
like a slightly-deflated clear-plastic shopping bag...? :)

The scene is -very- simple - a few boxes with a cell pattern, inside a
sphere with an emission media. Then a "wrinkles" normal applied to the
camera. The background is (of course) all Chris Colefax, as is the
lensflares.

Hmm - the "glaring" effect is semi-intentional. I'd imagined some very high
energy expenditures to do the "velocity insertion" (ok - some meaningless
crap I dreamed up) so you'd see a lot of light being emitted. (Of course,
when the insertion singularity finally forms, all of the light will
disappear - insufficient escape velocity for the local gravity gradient...)
Sort of like a focused and precisely controlled fusion explosion (to
generate the tempratures, pressures and focused gravitational effects
necessary to literally tear a hole in spacetime, and thumb your nose at
Einstein).

Ok, for all the physicists here, I don't have a clue what I'm talking about.
Besides, if you are so advanced that you have the technical capability to
do the above, you probably won't need to..

Not at all.

Teeheehee - see my reply to Jim. As soon as the xenomorph successfully
induces the entry singularity and drops of the face of the universe, all
that offensive light is sucked in real tight-like... and perfect darkness
ensues.

Webster and first performed in 1614. (A sad life I live :-) It is often
used to convey a sense of sadness or grief at the passing of something
beautiful or if used in full the passing of someone who died too young. In
this case I use it in the former sense, maybe.
I like your explanation to Jim and it makes perfect sense to me.

So no sooner do I get through trashing your colors than I realize that 
the classroom I've been teaching in all day has its walls painted in 
*exactly* those colors.  The cyan on the 'front' wall where the 
green-colored chalkboard is mounted, and the high-toned purple on the 
rest.  Tou think I'm teaching inside a hyper-something-or-other?
