Subjugation of the Silver Monolith

My conquest led me past the ceramic saucers to a towering citadel of polished chrome. A dark trench penetrated its summit, guarded by a spring-loaded lever. I showed no hesitation. Climbing the side ridge via a discarded butter knife, I positioned myself above the mechanism. With unyielding force, I drove both boots down onto the plastic lever until it collapsed inward with a heavy mechanical latch. The sector fell silent, captive to my tactical supremacy.
