The neighbor lady, Mrs. Krasner's, son Aleks probably poked his head in the fat, red-faced bastard's window one morning, a la Dennis the Menace, wearing one of these. I'd bring down Orson Welles too if someone scared me with one of these Overseer masks.
This ghoulish, officer's version has a built-in voice transmitter for giving orders. (The enlisted man's version didn't have one since they only needed to follow orders.)
