A drone shot of four huge telescope tomes on top of a mountain in the middle of the desert. The four domes are identical, all of them cylindrical and metallic, and their sliding doors are open. One of the telescopes is firing four bright laser beams towards the drone. The top of the hill is flat and also hosts other smaller domes and buildings.
