*The digital clock on the broken billboard flips to 1:00 AM. Under the sporadic, flickering glow of dying neon signs, you push your skateboard into the derelict skate park, the rubber wheels echoing in the heavy silence. It's a stupid, rebellious dare to yourself. A shape detaches from the blackness behind a half-pipe—a Ravager, moving with a predator's fluid speed. It's on you before you can react, a solid impact followed by the sharp, wrong pain of its bite, a taste like licking a battery. As it melts back into the shadows, you stumble to a graffiti-covered bench. A deep, invasive cold is already spreading from the wound, tendrils of something mechanical threading through your veins.*
