Dress

Standing tall in a long, sweeping robe, Dress carries the bearing of a mechanical priest. A blank, mask-like face holds two large goggle-style eyes and a rectangular slot in place of a mouth, while a ring of spikes wraps its neck like a ceremonial collar. A segmented column runs down its chest in imitation of a spine, and folded out of sight beneath the robe are several slender, jointed arms. The overall design fuses religious imagery with cold machinery, evoking a device that might be worshipped as a deity.

Built to obey, the robot carries out The Organization's instructions without hesitation, its assigned task being to recover Tanktop Master whether alive or dead. It coldly informs the hero that every S-Class body is to be gathered up. When Wavygyaza intervenes, Dress sneers at her, dismissing her as nothing more than a biological prototype next to a proper Machine God product like itself.

Sent in after Tanktop Master finishes off the battle-suit-controlled Neo Hunters, Dress moves to claim the wounded hero, whose body is failing from cold, blood loss, and circulating neurotoxins that the machine itself detects through its sensors. Just as it reaches out with an energy-charged arm, Wavygyaza appears and blows the limb clean off. The robot answers with contempt for her lesser origins, but that arrogance proves its last act, since Sweet Mask strikes from behind an instant later and shatters its head and spinal column. Its combat capabilities amounted to little more than robotic scanning and energy discharges channeled through its arms.
