Rest Cycle Initialization

I reached the brass transition strip where the copper coin had halted. In the low amber light extending down the corridor, the polished brass plate acted as a dark mirror. I knelt on both knee joints to inspect the optical reflection of my chest armor and visor. Raising my right forearm five millimeters confirmed exact symmetry. I slid the copper coin flat beneath the bevel of the doorframe molding, anchoring it as a level footstop, then lowered my back against the painted wood. With limbs stabilized and balance confirmed, I reduced joint tension to minimum operational levels for the night cycle.
