“Especially before disasters.”
A Sky hero of The Skybreakers

He was an ironworker, and when the call is too big for the street, Vesper looks up — and Skyhammer is already falling. He drops from orbit and lands like a verdict; his kinetic strikes have stopped a runaway freighter and one very bad day. He polishes his boots every morning. Even before disasters. Especially before disasters.
The old Meridian drydock's keel is cracked and the whole basin is leaning wrong — Skyhammer spent the morning holding the frame true while Dawnforge crews welded it, standing in the rising water like a lighthouse. He refused the harness. The crews refused to argue.
Ironclad's Mountainheart has challenged him to a contest nobody will officiate: who can stand still the longest under the worst the harbor can throw. Bulwark is already selling imaginary tickets. The bedrock is bracing.
“No wind. No storm. Skyhammer was two miles down and has an airtight alibi made of witnesses. The bell rang once, a note Highnote says wasn't in the tower's range — she would know, she's tuned herself to it. The rope is fraying from the inside out, fibers parting like pulled teeth, and the clapper hasn't moved. Bell-ringers are professionals, and professionals are afraid.”
The North Tower bell rang once, with no hand on the rope.
Vesper's aerial guardians — the ones who answer calls above the rooftops. They ride the harbor winds, run the sky-lanes between the old fire-towers, and treat gravity as a suggestion. When something falls in this city — a plane, a crane, a kid off the Foundry bridge — a Skybreaker is already under it.
