First Bearing

A sudden clarity established itself across my systems. I looked down and confirmed my footing was set upon a flat, dark expanse. Gently, I lifted my right arm and flexed the soft fingers, verifying full range of movement without resistance. Then, taking a deliberate step forward, I touched the surface beneath me, feeling its firm, stable foundation. The perimeter remains quiet and unhurried. All initial checks complete; I settled back into position, ready for scheduled operations.
