Contest Brief

I need a background image for grub which is a computer bootup manager.

Here is a link that describes grub's image requirements:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Displays
GRUB 2 can use PNG, JPG/JPEG and TGA images for the background. The image must meet the following specifications:

JPG/JPEG images must be 8-bit (256 color). Else you will get errors saying "Too many Huffman tables". Since most of the time you will not want to limit yourself to 256 colors (which is totally yesteryear) you will probably find PNG much preferable.
Images should be non-indexed, RGB.

Please pay attention to the text grub puts (example image added) -- the safest place to put the bulk of the images is the right side.

Theme:
This image should be an artistic hybrid between the greek mythology of the Argo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argo and hacking.

Instead of a ship, we use a laptop and we send to it attack and capture data valuables.
