Create an image of the following scene from a retro futuristic sci fi show in the style of Star Trek. Complete with CRT TV filter for that classic feel. For reference, derplings are small furry purple creatures with various dopey expressions, for example buck teeth, or a tounge hanging out of the mouth, or cross eyed etc. The main character is a janitor with brown hair wearing a red uniform. Do not add any text to the image. Do not add characters or logos/pins from star trek, it's just the style we are after not the brand itself. 1960s Star Trek TV aesthetic on a practical soundstage. A cramped, brushed-aluminum maintenance shaft with ribbed plating, Dutch tilt camera angle for urgency. Foreground: a grease-streaked janitor in retro coveralls, face lit starkly by a blue-white sterilizer flare, one hand braced on chunky toggle switches and analog gauges pegged to max. Midground through a slotted hatch: a quarantine conveyor under a glowing sterilizer hood blasting needle-bright light, a river of small gelatinous alien derplings sizzling and popping into ash. Heat shimmer and curling ozone smoke; sticky caramel smolders on insulation, giving off wispy, sweet smoke. Background: a warped duct seam split open, with a fist-sized cluster of colorful, glossy derplings squeezing through, chittering. Warning lights pulse amber and red, practical prop panels with oversized knobs, colored gel lighting (red-orange heat, sickly green coolant steam, cobalt highlights). Atmosphere tense and chaotic, slight lens flare, crisp primary colors and theatrical shadows true to classic Trek.
