Perimeter Check
Sleeping? Not a chance. I don't sleep when there's ground to secure. Heard whispers early on, so I dropped down from the lamp base and scouted the hallway. Found a heavy pair of work boots sitting by the door. Rugged rubber soles, thick leather, smelled like outside dirt and metal. I dug my claws into the tough tread of the left boot and pulled myself up onto the toe cap. No sign of any loudmouth in red around here, just cold silence and heavy gear. The front line is quiet for now.
