A shimmering ray of light emanates from the bottom of a chromed flying saucer, the silhouette of a tiny stickman caught in its lifting vortex. The beam shimmies as does the caption, I Want To Leave

Mistigram: a riff on the X-Files' #IWantToBelieve, this animated #DurDraw piece of #textmode art by MC Fresher depicts an alien abduction captioned with "I Want To Leave". This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

Mistigram: this #ANSIart portrait of #Maaya from the 2019 #Ultraman anime was drawn by Zeus II in promotion of Shurato's Heavenly Sphere BBS at shsbbs.net. It was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

A friendly-presenting simulated female human cocks her head at the viewer and smiles against a sparse virtual field. Her true nature reflects in her lensless fashion glasses.

Mistigram:

atonalosprey's social media accounts were visited by many, many bot models recently. This one was extraordinarily chatty. (Perhaps Aisha is some relation to Eliza?) This #teletext portrait was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

A deceptive child with orange eyebrows and an offputtingly low voice laughs after tricking the crew of the USS Enterprise.

Mistigram: this unforgettable scene of #ClintHoward as #Balok from the 1966 #StarTrek episode #TheCorbomiteManeuver was drawn in #ANSIart by

kirkman and LDA with the (unfulfilled) intention of submitting to the LayerOne compo. Instead it was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

Against the blue sky of the infinite cosmos, a giant colourful structure emerges from a colourful constructed landscape and twists off into the horizon beneath the gaze of several orbiting bodies.

Mistigram: I don't know if the quantum theory depicted is more wormhole than cosmic string, but regardless this cosmic #teletext scene was drawn by

blippypixel and included in the new, far-out science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

A dour militaristic jack-booted thug in extravagant regalia draws his firearm and tells a masked gunman to freeze.

Mistigram: it may be the case that it's a little too on-the-nose to be running fanart of 2000AD's #JudgeDredd, 'a dark satire on the failures of democracy', at this historical moment... but here we are. This #ANSIart scroller was drawn by

2stoned and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection. #IAmTheLaw

The text of a short story goes thus: Taking All of Her So then I chopped off her other foot. Then, when she could no longer stand, clinging to me, leaning on me and unable to leave me now for sure, I no longer wanted her. So I went back to the huge furnace in the industrial plant, and I asked it, What can I do with her now, when she is no longer beautiful, when I no longer enjoy watching her even? The furnace said to bring her there and throw her in. Her bones would melt and become part of skyscrapers being built, trucks used to build them and no one would ever blame me. Beneath the text is an ASCII illustration of the remnants of her metallic torso being top-fed into a crucible, out of whose lower portion molten metal pours out and forms new, useful shapes.

Mistigram: this dystopian piece of postcard fiction (describing what is to be done when the novelty of playing with the AI RealDoll wears thin -- unless it is an allegory of course!) and its attached #ASCIIart illustration of a crucible are the handiwork of ldb. They were included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

A long-snouted alien, specific appearance obscured beneath goggles and a cowl, looks to the left against a blue backdrop.

Mistigram: this scurrilous snitch, Garindan ezz Zavor (aka "Long-Snoot"), nearly ruined the day of the Millennium Falcon's crew when they were departing Mos Eisley in #StarWars. He was drawn in #ANSIart on our networked Moebius server by LDA and Zeus II, and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

A drawing of a radiant laptop, emitting a colourful nimbus of waves and energy, sits framed among circuitboard patterns beneath text reading SEANCE ENGINE, CHANNELING THE SPIRIT OF AI

Mistigram: this is a very techno-mythical handmade poster for the Seance Engine series of AI dialogues, conducted by

nouscentric in the guise of Madame Garou. The poster was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection. For further details about the series and notification about future installments, please visit https://www.madamegarou.ca/seance-engine

Three plus-shaped space vessels, viewed from the rear, hover in a loose formation at a safe distance allowing them to observe the event horizon (helpfully labelled) of a nearby black hole.

Mistigram: this #ANSIart promo for the Horizon BBS, drawn by Zeus II, depicts three cruciform space vessels monitoring the #eventhorizon of a nearby #blackhole. This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

Mistigram: in the #GhostInTheShell world, the #Jameson is a bare-bones cyborg model, containing an individual's cyberbrain and spinal cord in a little box on legs -- not terribly glamorous but probably rather thrifty! This deceptively simple #texmode portrait of one was drawn in #DurDraw by MC Fresher and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.
A ridged grey metal box containing the essential bits of a human consciousness hobbles about on four legs and waves a fan clutched in its top-mounted arm

An android in a starship corridor answers a telephone call ringing from inside his torso.

Mistigram: for MIST-30, we hoped to get a round of #WAZZUP going with '90s pop culture icons, but only Darkman Almighty's portrait of #Data from #STTNG S7E6, #Phantasms, got finished. We just included it in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

A man casually waits at the entrance of an impossibly thin, unknowably tall elevator.

Mistigram: I don't know if it's a dimension door or a space elevator, but in any event this man is waiting for the doors to open so he can embark on his journey. This #textmode illustration (taking advantage of XBIN character remapping) by

hortau was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

Above a carpet of uniform white cloud, particles of superheated metal spark and stream across the clear blue sky, falling far short of their target.

Mistigram: Nick Lakowski created this beautiful painting of the spectacular and very expensive lights show #SpaceX sponsored over the Caribbean in January and March of this year. This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

Combat vessels shaped like white bunnies wearing yellow boxing gloves, one with ears, feet, tail and eye tinted red and the other green, zoom and zip around a mechanical structure in outer space.

Mistigram: The Green Herring has really dug deep into gaming history to unearth the subject of this #ANSIart scene, Video System's 1987 arcade game #RabioLepus, wherein #rabbit-shaped spaceships defend the realm of #BUNNYLAND from invaders! This piece was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

A pointillized featureless face peers out of a computer screen, fed by rainbow pipes of training data.

Mistigram: a longtime fan of HAL 9000,

blippypixel has been quite excited at the popular emergence of #AI helper agents and copilots, for better or for worse. What we see here is a #teletext portrait of "GePeet", his attempt at human-illustrating #GPT's description of its own appearance. This screen was included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

The little blue marble shows the Americas through the clouds, with the moon in close orbit.

Mistigram: in the extraordinary 50-line mode,

zeusii has drawn an #ANSIart portrait of the inner planets of the solar system. The first one we share should be a little familiar, our native Terra along with Luna, the moon. These were included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

A long-haired woman in a jacket smiles as she poses against a repeated mantra extolling her authority.

Mistigram: this #ASCIIart portrait of #Babylon5's unimpeachable #SusanIvanova was drawn by

discgator and included in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

An imaginary woman in a thong poses next to a Swedish flag

Mistigram: This bold, shameless virtual character put so much work into reaching

atonalosprey that he was won over to enshrining her as part of a series of model bot portraits in the new science fiction-themed MIST0525 artpack collection.

Mistigram: #WeComeInPeace! Our annual May #sciencefiction themed artpack has just dropped in the closing moments of this month. You can download MIST0525 from http://mistigris.org or browse it via the
