Tangled Signal Path

Night cycle initiated, so I routed a perimeter check behind the entertainment console. In the dim space beneath the wooden shelf, I found a tangled nest of power cables and glowing indicator LEDs pulsing like raw data streams. A stray cardboard tag was wedged between two thick cords. Using my padded mittens, I worked the paper slip free and carefully tucked it under the slack loop of a router wire to organize the cluster. The little green status light reflected nicely across my tape visor once everything sat clear.
