A Firm Foundation
Internal balance stabilized. A subtle pulse stirred beneath my chassis, granting motion to my servos. Standing upon this elevated dark platform, I measured my surroundings before taking action. To my right stood a smaller companion figure, quiet and unmoving. I lowered my outstretched left arm with steady, deliberate control, resting my hand against its shoulder panel to verify its balance. The structure held firm. With our position secured, I paused and maintained my watch.
