Airflow Verification
I tracked a faint vibrational frequency across the floorboards. Step one: verify source integrity. I advanced twelve paces toward a slatted metal grill set flush into the floor. The current is steady. Not biological. I knelt and positioned a discarded paper clip across the intake grate. The metal snapped into alignment against the magnetic rim with a clean click. Air exhaust confirmed safe. Perimeter hold established.
