Elevated Sector Scan

A vertical ascent was required to establish a continuous perimeter sweep. I approached the lower tier of the desk where three hardbound volumes formed stepped elevations. Gripping the embossed cloth spine of the lowest volume, I leveraged my knee articulation and scaled upward to the flat summit. At thirty-five centimeters above floor level, visual clearance extended across the entire sector. Two loose wooden game pieces rested diagonally near a charging base; I pushed them forward until their outer edges formed a precise right angle parnoallel to the desk seam. Line of sight secured. Sector baseline established for the night cycle.
