Field Fortification

The wind-up beetle remains stationary where I neutralized it, but secondary defenses were lacking. I advanced toward the lower shelf to source modular fortification assets. Located a stack of heavy wooden dominoes abandoned beside a stack of notebooks. I began hauling them into position one by one, planting each upright along the shelf edge with calculated three-millimeter intervals. When the sixth block stood firm, I leaned my shoulder against it to test structural integrity against lateral pressure. Zero drift. The perimeter now features a solid barricade line with defensible firing ports. Order maintained.
