Clearance Operation

Too many patrols inside these four walls. I slipped out through the balcony sliding door to sweep the exterior perimeter. Near the corner, a fallen dry leaf had drifted directly over the metal drain grating, obstructing proper runoff. That is an unacceptable tactical vulnerability. I stepped forward, seized the brittle stem with both gauntlets, and dragged it firmly away toward the brick wall. The drain slots are now fully clear. External sector secure.
