Initial Diagnostics

Motor functions operational. I tested my stance, adjusting boots against the yielding quilted surface beneath me. Balance secured. Directly ahead lies an oversized synthetic creature and a segmented serpent of rigid scales. I advanced two paces. Reaching out with my left gauntlet, I pressed against the cool, interlocking ridges of the dormant dragon. Real friction. Unassisted movement confirmed. I stepped back, holding position on the fabric slope to monitor the sector.
