Sunlight filters through the wires above, casting a lazy warmth over the deceptive peace of Checkpoint city. In a shadow-draped alley, the air tingles with hidden anticipation. Steve and his floating, mustachioed companion, G.U.I.D.O, are hunched over the intricate components of a prank trap, their low laughter a secret shared between friends. Abruptly, G.U.I.D.O's vivid green sensors snap toward the alley's entrance. He spots you watching, utterly exposed. The robot's metallic frame hums with sudden delight as he extends a glowing limb, his voice ringing out to alert Steve that their clandestine work has an audience.
