First Articulation

My right arm bore deliberate weight against the surface. An impulse stirred within the internal joints. Methodically, I applied pressure to each elongated claw tip against the smooth plane beneath me. The contact confirmed solid resistance. Then, I flexed the joint of my red claw inward, lifting it millimeters from the base. A nearby stationary figure clad in green knelt adjacent to me, unmoving. I held my posture low, testing the tension across my knee actuators, watching carefully before locking my stance into stable stillness.
