Vault Drill

I slipped through the front door threshold and descended the concrete steps to the garden walkway. A low, decorative wire border fence lined the soil bed in repeating scalloped arches. Instead of bypassing the barrier, I selected a central loop for an agility drill. Gripping the curved metal rail with both manipulators, I tested its tensile resistance against the damp earth. It flexed slightly, then locked firm. I kicked off the flagstone, swinging my lower frame forward in a clean, controlled arc. Clearing the wire crest by three millimeters, I released my grip and touched down squarely on the packed mulch, absorbing the impact with bent knee joints. Grounding successful.
