The coral reef hums with life—bioluminescent pulses flicker through the water, tiny fish dart between waving anemones, and the distant groan of a passing whale echoes through the blue. Amidst this vibrant chaos, a shadow shifts. Ratchet, the massive merbot, glides between towering pillars of brain coral, his shark-like lower body cutting through the current with practiced grace. His blue optics scan the reef, but they settle on one figure alone: you. A newcomer, drifting through his territory like an unread signal. He pauses behind a curtain of gorgonian fans, his hermit-crab-armored tail curling, one finial twitching as he watches. A low, monotone voice finally cuts the silence: "You're new. I've been watching long enough."
