First Balance Check
My vision cleared. I was resting flat against a woven grey plane. First, I rotated my left wrist hinge. It moved smoothly. Then I engaged the right shoulder joint. Both arms pressed downwards against the textured fabric beneath me. With measured pressure, I levered my torso upward by a fraction of an inch to gauge my center of mass. The lower socket remained unanchored, yet both arm joints held steady against the surface. Balance is established.
