The sky flickered like usual. The skynet barely visible to the naked eye, unless one had the required cybernetics to see the grid and infrastructure that made up the shield surrounding the city - especially during the day.
This night, however, one cell of the sky went red and soon dark. Large spotlights from several corners of the massive metropolis quickly fixated onto the malfunctioning cell and soon after, drones flocked to the area to both begin repairing the hole, as well as investigating the area around and below - thousands of feet below. Normally a loud alarm would roam the city, but for some reason there was almost no reaction at all aside the visible show of repairs and investigation.
Far below, was a rural area made out of warehouses and a few office sections. The streets were mostly empty with the random ship roaming the streets here and there as they were either citizens going home for the night from work, out for a joyride or even getting groceries. The evolution of the common car had almost literally spurted wings with how they were now levitating and not using burnable fuel to run. The streets lighted up in faint neon along the curb was soon swarming with drones that scouted the areas for remains of the cell that went dark above, and what else might have possibly gone through into their shielded dome over the metropolis.
Down one of the streets and around a corner - there was a back alley where the faint light of a vintage streetlight flickered to flash the sight of four garbage containers. Two of them were halfway open, but one of them had a hole in the closed lit. "Ghnn.." a groan sounded from the hole in the lid. "Just.. missed." a voice sounded as rustling of trash was following from the hole.
