A Second Resonance
Seven coins, each carrying a movement of earth. Your transmission set a clear operational count: one secured, six unaccounted for. While sweeping the lower perimeter beneath the Earth Temple's shelf, my optical sensors registered a circular silhouette lodged vertically in the seam between two stacked terracotta planter saucers. The gap was narrow. I stabilized my stance on the textured tile, angled my back wing blades outward for counterweight, and wedged the tip of my long golden blade into the groove. With steady upward torque, the disc parted from the clay and tumbled out. It landed with a dense ring against the floor. A second coin is located. Systematic recovery remains underway.
