Ghost Skip emerged when a disgruntled Enforcement Division chrono-tech spliced illegal time-bending modules into standard disc sensors. During the 'Crisis Clash' blackout event, prototype phase-shifters overloaded, fusing the technician's consciousness with corrupted temporal frequencies. Now it exists simultaneously in multiple time slices, appearing as static ghosts during sabotage operations.

Manifests as unstable temporal energy contained within a cracked disc sensor shell, phasing between visible and static states unpredictably. Emits chroniton particles that destabilize nearby electronics and can briefly 'skip' forward 3.7 seconds to avoid detection. Causes temporal disorientation in humans with core temperature fluctuations between -200°C and 500°C during phase transitions.

Creates temporal blind spots during recreational disturbances allowing undetected course manipulation, and selectively disrupts enforcement surveillance by phasing through monitoring equipment.
