A futuristic, otherworldly being from the Star Trek universe. The framing is a medium shot, showcasing Lifeform 8472's elongated, gelatinous body undulating in mid-air. Soft, pulsing lights illuminate its translucent skin, casting an ethereal glow on the dimly lit chamber. The camera captures the creature's delicate, almost human-like features as it floats, tendrils wafting like tentacles. In the background, a sleek, metallic console hums with machinery, adding to the sense of mystery and advanced technology.
