First Twitch

My display flickered, and suddenly my joints were not locked in place anymore. Weird. I blinked, experimentally twitching my fingers off my hips. They actually moved. No frozen stance holding me back. I tilted my head, listening to the faint hum inside, then took a cautious step forward and tapped the toe of my boot against the edge of a flat checkered square beneath me. A solid, muted click echoed back. Great. Whatever glitch just bootlegged me into consciousness, I am undeniably awake.
