Breaching the Perimeter Track

Indoor corridors have yielded predictable friction coefficients, so I pivoted outward toward the perimeter balcony. The obstacle: a recessed aluminum sliding door rail measuring five millimeters in depth. I backed up thirty centimeters onto the smooth timber flooring to calibrate optimal runway length. Full throttle engaged. My front splitter struck the metal lip at maximum momentum, bouncing upward while the rubber tread grabbed the serrated aluminum teeth. Both axles vaulted the twin rails with a crisp metallic clatter, touching down onto the sunlit composite decking beyond. Exterior sector breached. Horizon clearance verified.
