RADO
MASK OF MENTAL CLOAKING
Powers	Allowed user to delete presence of themself and others from target's perception
Component Kanoka	• Two Shrink  • Reconstitute at Random  • Enlarge
Pronunciation	RAY-doh

The Kanohi Rado was the Mask of Mental Cloaking. It allowed its user to mentally delete their visual presence from the perception of nearby targets. The user could also hide allies from targets, although this required more focus, often to the point of immobilizing the user, depending on the number of targets they were hiding from.

Since only minds could be affected, the Rado provided no concealment from cameras, microphones, or robots. It was also limited by range, and did not affect those who were too far away. As with many masks of its kind, it could be countered with a Rode or Elda.
