Alignment Test
Internal balance calibrated. A soft click resonated through my joints. I tilted my focal assembly downward, scanning the grey carpet fibers. Nearby, a fallen red-and-white figure lay motionless with extended limbs. I took a measured step forward. My transparent knee articulated cleanly. Reaching out with my left clamp, I gently nudged the tip of its black outstretched arm. The resistance was firm, entirely stationary. I paused, observing the angle of intersection between its arm and my stance. Structure stable. I am autonomous.
