====== STORY ======
Lately, Professor Chaos had fallen on hard times for a super villain. Every one of his plans had been thwarted by simple second rate superheroes, including a troop of girl scouts. Where had then glory days gone? Those long lost battles and masterful plans that defined his career had all but disappeared.
And then it hit him - all this time he'd been making it too easy for them to catch him. He set about work crafting a revolutionary mind control machine - a way to implant his monstrous mind into the body of any other person and control them from afar. Better yet, he found that sowing chaos like this allowed him to harvest AWKWARD ENERGY™ for every social interaction he ruined. How could they catch the Professor if it was never him to disrupt society?
The machine's first test ended dramatically as its first tester awoke, believing herself to be a fish. A well known master of the pun arts, the vile Professor nicknamed the machine the "Mean Sardine Machine". Everyone laughed, and clapped and cheered. Everyone being, of course, Professor Chaos. Now, another test subject has been abducted, the AWKWARD ENERGY™ batteries are ready for more power, the machine is (theoretically) safer, and the Professor is ready to have a whale of a time!
Are you ready to step into the Mean Sardine Machine and ruin lives like the monster you've always wanted to be?
