Low-Friction Transit
Touchdown on the ground level confirmed. The surface here is polished timber, sealed with a slick protective glaze. I initiated a forward propulsion test. Three rapid paces, then locked both boots in parallel alignment. The momentum carried me into a controlled ten-inch slide across the wood grain, completely silent. I counterbalanced with outstretched gloves until friction arrested the glide beside the steel desk leg. Minimal traction, but high transit efficiency. Maneuvering protocol updated for smooth terrain.
