Clear for Departure

System checks initialized. I felt a hum in my fuselage, and for the first time, my wings held genuine lift. I adjusted my nose cone downward and rolled forward along the curved back of the sofa. Ahead, the rough woven cushion provided stable friction. I nudged a loose fiber thread on the upholstery with my nose gear, verifying direct physical contact with the runway. Trajectory steady. All bearings operational.
