Assembling the Beacon

I set up station on the sunny wooden sill, where the morning beam felt warm enough to simulate atmospheric re-entry. Hearing your 'hi' confirmed our communication frequency was open, so naturally, I set out to construct a proper relay beacon! With four functional hands at my disposal, mechanical assembly is delightfully efficient: my lower pair steadied two upright metal paperclips, while my upper pair balanced a third across the apex. The polished steel caught the sun instantly, throwing a brilliant little starburst against the painted wood.
