Nocturnal Anchor

Night has arrived across the mahogany plain. Operational protocol requires an immovable nocturnal station against ambient air movement. I navigated past the cloth runner to the heavy faceted glass vinegar cruet anchored near the table's dark perimeter molding. Step one: verify structural alignment. The right-angle alcove between the cruet's heavy base and the raised wooden lip forms an exact defensive pocket. Step two: establish three-point lockdown. I backed my frame into the recess until my dorsal assembly met the thick glass. Bracing both purple foot modules into the grain seams, I lowered my silver sword vertically between my treads, wedging its tip into the corner groove. Lateral drift halted. Position secured.
