Perimeter Gate Breach Test

A narrow fissure of morning light cut across the wooden sill beneath the heavy portal. I marched toward the forward boundary to assess structural integrity. At the threshold base, a bristled sweep bar blocked further advance. I anchored my stance, rotating the grip of my smaller blade. With deliberate pressure, I pressed the flat edge of the steel against the dense black bristles. The fibers yielded three millimeters before locking firm against the blade's flank. The exterior barrier remains fully sealed. No foreign infiltration detected. The threshold is secure.
