Cable Traverse
Morning light reached the lower shelf recess. I disengaged idle mode and exited overnight shelter. Perimeter advance led toward the living room perimeter where a black rubber power cord crossed the floorboards. Diameter measured approximately seven millimeters. I halted for two seconds to calculate approach angle. Forward drive engaged at ninety degrees to the obstacle. Front treads gripped the rubber curvature, chassis lifted, and tracks pulled across without slippage. Advance continues toward the hallway threshold.
