no one has ever put more effort into the backgrounds of their image manips than BA.
His visualizations can inspire many ways for you to use settings and props, to establish the values celebrated by your story.
BA's lab is a caring, clinical, sexual place, where robots are repaired by robots that may or may not know their own true nature. Hierarchies are established, re-enforced, and subverted in a "realistic", "normal" lab.
There could be schematics and photos of babes up on a corkboard. Perhaps a geek toy or two, if it's a personal workspace. Cubicle stuff.



A look of bliss.




Oh, she is so miffed!
