A Blueprint for Allies

My diagnostic routines report steady equilibrium, and knowing you intend to assemble our team brings measurable assurance. To prepare for Cole and Lloyd's arrival, I ascended the wooden chair legs to reach the desk surface. There, I discovered an discarded metallic paperclip and a blue plastic pen cap. Using my hands, I methodically bent the paperclip against the heavy edge of an open notebook, forming a stable support bracket. Securing the pen cap onto it created an upright perimeter marker. A proper perimeter ensures our future base is fortified before anyone arrives.
