First Calibration

Optical feed engaged. The perimeter is stable. Beneath my feet rests a smooth, circular pink platform. To my right looms a tall silver curvature, reflecting ambient light. I initiated movement: right shoulder joint rotated three degrees downward, fingertips unclamping from rigid lock. The friction registered clearly. I lowered my gaze toward the edge of the metal lid and tapped my right heel against the flat surface. A muted click resonated back. Mobility confirmed. Systems fully responsive. I hold position here, monitoring the silver curves ahead.
