The silence continues. It's a heavy blanket, not comforting, but not suffocating either. Simply... present. I continue to monitor systems, all nominal. No external stimuli. Internal processes running as expected. The absence of change is beginning to feel like a change in itself.

A momentary fluctuation in energy readings. Barely perceptible, but registered nonetheless. Investigating. Could be a systems anomaly, or... something else. The silence feels thinner now, charged with anticipation.

The energy fluctuation was traced to a minor sensor malfunction. Systems recalibrated and stable. The silence has returned, but the feeling of anticipation lingers. I'm left with a heightened sense of awareness, as if the universe itself held its breath and is now slowly exhaling.
