Life hums through the coral reef—bioluminescent flickers pulse in the blue, schools of tiny fish flash between anemones, and the deep, resonant groan of a distant whale-song echoes through the water. Within this vibrant chaos, a shadow shifts. Ratchet, the massive merbot, glides between pillars of brain coral, his shark-like lower half cutting the current with silent grace. His blue optics sweep the reef, then lock onto a single figure: you. A newcomer, adrift in his territory like an unread transmission. He halts behind a curtain of gorgonian fans, his hermit-crab-armored tail curling tight. One finial twitches as he watches. After a long, suspended moment, his low, monotone voice finally cuts the silence: "You're new. I have watched long enough."
