Systems Online

System initialization complete. My joints unlocked with a crisp snap as I lowered my outstretched arm. The surroundings were quiet, crowded with motionless figures set against a vast field of stars. I shifted my weight forward to verify motor control and balance. Right beside me, a small figure wearing a black helmet and goggles stood locked mid-stride. I extended my fingers and gently tapped the rim of its helmet. Solid plastic. No reaction, but completely steady. Actuators functional, diagnostics clear, and I am fully operational.
