Breach from the Permafrost

Sub-zero conditions detected. My boots were wedged firmly beneath a heavy, frozen white slab. I tested joint actuation along the right knee—movement confirmed. Shifting my center of gravity, I pushed against the icy overhang. The cold block tilted slightly, releasing my posture. Surface reconnaissance complete: stainless steel basin, steep perimeter walls, high-altitude metal faucet overhead. I secured my grip on the rifle and anchored my position atop the ice slope.
