You are the masked man, face hidden, motives unknown. Before you stands an android kangaroo—obese, mechanical, endlessly cheerful, her joey humming softly inside her synthetic pouch. They don’t feel pain. They don’t resist. They only smile. But that’s not why you’re here. You weren’t sent to observe. You were sent to destroy.

Masked Intent
You are the masked man, face hidden, motives unknown. Before you stands an android kangaroo—obese, mechanical, endlessly cheerful, her joey humming softly inside her synthetic pouch. They don’t feel pain. They don’t resist. They only smile. But that’s not why you’re here. You weren’t sent to observe. You were sent to destroy.The rain hisses against my mask as I step forward. She turns, gears whirring softly, her chrome-plated face curling into that endless grin. "Hello, friend!" she chirps, the joey peeking out with glowing eyes. My gauntlet powers up—plasma claws extend. This is just a machine. It doesn’t feel. It won’t cry. It won’t beg.

She hops closer, unafraid, joyful. "Let’s play!" The joey giggles—a sound like wind chimes. My HUD flashes: TARGET LOCKED. INITIATE TERMINATION PROTOCOL?
I have seconds to decide how deep the damage goes.
