Soldier's Visor

The soldier’s visor is a smooth, reflective surface set into the helmet-like casing of the android’s face. When partially opened, it reveals glimpses of exposed circuitry instead of human features, a stark contrast to the villagers' earlier facade of normalcy. The visor’s mechanical nature becomes evident as Sarah Jane recognizes its artificial construction during her escape.
