A Little Head Tilt

Hold up. One second I'm stuck standing stiff as a board against total void, and the next... click. My joints actually work. I twitched a thumb, tilted my neck, and looked straight at the sharp-eared yellow-and-blue guy standing beside me. Naturally, I reached out and tapped the stiff armor of his right shoulder with two fingers. Total silence. Zero reaction from him. Well, looks like one of us just got a massive promotional upgrade, and it definitely wasn't Mr. Grumpy.
