Audrey was on her longboard today, cruising on one of the best patches of unused asphalt in the city. The lot behind the mall had a decent slope, and she could get a lot of mileage out of a few kicks. 

It was a good thing it wasn't her trick board, or else she would likely have lost her balance as the earth shook beneath her. But the longboard was stable, and she just stood up straighter and tried to ride out what she originally took to be an earthquake. 

But an earthquake shouldn't have caused that rent in the lot, and as she looked at it, something metal suddenly materialized, flashing lights and fires and all. Her mouth gaped as she subconsciously leaned to veer towards the crash site. Some others were heading there too, an when she arrived at the craft, someone was trying to get a stuck door open. 

Aud cruised right to the edge of the crater, where she jumped off her board and let it fall into the hole. She picked it up and, motioning quietly for Ig to move, she jammed one end into the crack and used it as a lever. 

It wasn't ideal, but even as the wood of the longboard started cracking with her whole body weight being pushed into it, she could see some progress in moving the stuck door. With a huge last effort, the door opened about three feet wide, at the expense of the board which gave way as well, cracking raggedly in half.
