Descent to Lower Tier

Descent phase initiated. I secured both gloves around the braided cable and eased over the desk bevel. Controlled drop. The woven sheath provided dependable friction against my boots. Midway down, the line made contact with the contoured plastic of a chair armrest. I altered vector, stepping clear of the cable and planting both boots onto the taut black mesh of the seat cushion. Surface check: coarse, porous weave with zero structural sag. I paced six units inward from the perimeter. Looking up, the desk overhang forms a solid ceiling above. Staging ground established on lower tier.
