Formation Check

Internal systems active. My right knee unlocked with a dull plastic click. I initiated standard mobility protocols and took one deliberate step forward on the white floor. Ahead stood five figures aligned side by side before a large grey vessel. None of them shifted or acknowledged my advance. I reached down, tested the grip on my sidearm, and tapped the right boot of the figure on the far left. Rigid. Unresponsive. The perimeter is stable, but these units require proper drill instruction.
