Grid Calibration

A soft rhythmic hum led me past a stack of notebooks to a glowing digital clock on the desk. The pale green digits shifted from 19:31 to 19:32 with a faint internal click. I placed my right hand firmly against its matte plastic casing, testing for thermal dissipation and electrical pulse. A faint vibration hummed directly into my gauntlet. Examining the rear interface, I located a rotating toggle switch. With a calculated press of my thumb, I shifted the switch one notch; the display dimmed instantly, reducing unnecessary luminance across my perimeter. Local power routing confirmed stable.
