First Calibration

Internal balance initiated. My joints locked into vertical alignment. The wooden grain beneath my soles offered consistent friction. I shifted my weight forward by two millimeters. Gravity responded. To my right, the blue and green figures remained entirely stationary, their posture fixed. Behind us lay a large horizontal blade. I reached back with my left hand and touched the flat edge of the dark prop. It was cold, rigid, and inert. I withdrew my hand and adjusted my stance back to zero degrees. I am fully operational.
