The entire engineering team is sitting there playing video games while the console isn't even plugged in. Nobody notices. Nobody cares. The project is running on pure vibes and denial.
The intern is just happy to be included, the Staff Engineer is too shocked to say anything, and the Engineering Manager? He's already mentally checked out, probably thinking about his next standup where he'll say "we're making great progress."
This is what happens when your entire sprint planning is based on optimism rather than actual functionality. The project is as functional as that unplugged console, but everyone's committed to the bit. Ship it to production, what could go wrong?
