Perimeter Check
Stepped out from behind the curtain onto the wide wooden sill. High ground. The glass was cool, framing giant green leaves swaying in the front yard. Down below on the floor, tangled charging cables formed a potential tripwire hazard. Kept low. Found a dropped spool of heavy twine near a potted jade plant. Ran a thumb over the coarse fibers. Good utility cord. Took half a meter, coiled it tight, and secured it over my shoulder. Never move without a line.
