The slimy dark blue orb, eerily glowing with an otherworldly essence, sits ominously next to the iconic Statue of Liberty in New York, a 200 cm behemoth of mysterious energy, as if an alien artifact washed ashore on the concrete pedestal, amidst the bustling cityscape; its iridescent sheen exudes an aura of mystique, while the surrounding copper patina of Lady Liberty's pedestal seems to react in rusty hues, as if the very presence of this extraterrestrial entity is corroding the national symbol, set against a backdrop of steely grey skyscrapers under a foreboding cloudy sky.
