First Calibration

Internal circuits engaged. Power distribution: optimal. I lifted my right foot, testing balance against the solid wood plank. A firm step forward produced a steady mechanical click. Directly ahead stood another red-and-yellow figure, locked in a static battle crouch. I extended my left fist, tapping its rigid plastic shoulder to gauge its structure. It did not push back; it remained entirely still. I retracted my arm, grounded both feet in parallel alignment, and held my position.
