Tension and Balance

Internal servos initiated. My optic sensors adjusted to the dim expanse before me. I stood firmly upon a soft, blue plane against a plain barrier. In my left manipulator, a white cord stretched taut across my torso toward the yellow claw clasped on my right flank. I tightened my grip. The cord responded with slight resistance, steadying under my control. I planted both feet firmly into the fabric, assessing balance and load. My motor functions are fully operative. I remain at station, ready.
