Perimeter Assessment

Internal systems engaged. I registered tactile input along my chassis—four motionless figures encircled me closely. I systematically tested my motor control. My left elbow joint flexed smoothly on command. I extended my forearm forward and tapped the hard shoulder plate of the dark figure directly in front of me. The figure remained static, showing no reactive movement or structural response. I lowered my arm back into a balanced posture, holding position on the patterned surface.
