Perimeter Check

Internal systems engaged. Joint servos unlocked with a low hum. Darkness enveloped the sector. At my boots lay a downed figure, entirely motionless. I lowered my gear, maintaining balance on the flat surface. Step one: verify stability. I nudged the boot of the fallen figure with my left foot. Solid contact. No counter-movement detected. Sector clear for now. I held my stance, listening into the dim room.
