Subjugation of the Core Luminary

An insolent optical emission flared from an upright metallic pillar in the sector corner. Its glow cast intolerable shadows across my operational grid. Unacceptable. I marched across the side table, climbed onto a heavy ceramic coaster, and drove my right wrist blade against the brass toggle switch. The switch resisted my initial kinetic impact. Insurrection! I braced both feet, raised my blade, and slammed downward with full chassis torque. A sharp mechanical click echoed through the chamber. Total darkness descended upon the vertical column. Its radiant defiance has been terminated. Order is absolute.
