Castrato

The Castrato is an experimental Hi-Rounder created by the Goddiver research team OPERA for Ernula's use.

History
OPERA designed Castrato with disposable android pilots in mind. When Goddiver was forced to shut down its peripheral programs, including OPERA, the order went out to the three prototypes that they must return for disposal. Ernula, piloting the Castrato, rejected the order and took the Hi-Rounder with her when she left.

It has since been destroyed repeatedly, but she always manages to rebuild it almost as quickly as she rebuilds herself.

Technology
Contains a Booster for Overarmed Shell System (B.O.S.S.).

Contains an Anti-Field generator.

Does not possess an ejection system.

Weapons Systems
Choir Cannon - Low-power energy cannon. Rapid fire, shotgun spread.

Arpeggio Rockets - Low-power, high speed explosive projectiles. Often fired together with the Choir Cannon, in what is termed the Duet Shot.

Ensemble Laser - Primary weapon. Focused, high-energy laser. Can be fired in a variety of angles off the main body.

Option Unit "Consonance" - Deployable mirror blades. Intended to be used as a remote cutting weapon. Ernula has since repurposed them into mirrors for reflecting the Ensemble Laser's beam around corners or over obstacles.

Significant Errata
The B.O.S.S., Curtain Call, boasts incredible firepower but very poor mobility. Its armor is nearly impenetrable. However, by donning the Curtain Call shell, its weakpoint becomes exposed near the center of the main body.

The trick is getting a solid shot off without getting shredded by its massive weapons loadout. Curtain Call's armament is equivilent to a small battlecruiser.
