Canto Mk.6
A rare cyberdeck model with unique Militech-produced components. This gear was allegedly used in the secret Cynosure project. Fun fact: the model's name is a reference to Dante's "Divine Comedy". In the sixth canto, Dante descends into Inferno's third circle, guarded by the three-headed beast Cerberus.

Equipping this Cyberdeck grants access to the Blackwall Gateway quickhack.

Device Hacks

		Blackwall Gateway It's hard to say what exactly makes the deck able to open temporary gates through the Blackwall. It could be a permaflux algorithm, or perhaps even more terrifyingly, its capable of directly communicate with rogue AIs from beyond the Blackwall and somehow persuading them to open these gates.
		Extract Data Extracts data stored on device.
		Distract Enemies Causes a device to malfunction, resulting in erratic behavior that will distract nearby people.
		Initiate Overload Overloads a device's electrical circuitry, permanently destroying it.
		Friendly Mode Overrides the target's recognition module, causing you to be perceived as an ally and authorization holder. Turrets and cameras treat your enemies as their enemies and assist in combat whether you are in combat or undetected.
		Take Control Enables remote operation, allowing you to take control of turrets and at times other devices.
		Remote Deactivation Manipulates basic device functions, such as opening/closing doors and activating/deactivating cameras.

MILITECH CANTO MK.6

The Canto Mk.6 is a deck that many netrunners and collectors consider an urban legend. A powerful Militech deck backed by the computing power of AI algorithms that was never mass-produced, using technologies that have yet to see the light of day - too good to be true? Maybe, especially since several models that appeared on illegal auctions turned out to be cleverly tweaked fakes of other Militech decks every time. And yet experts believe that the Canto Mk.6 exists, or rather: there was a very limited series of components that never made it into the wider market. The trick is to find these components - probably pilfer them from Militech's warehouses or buy them for heaps of eddies on the black market - and try to construct the Canto from them. Only then will the legend come to life....

Acquisition

• Somewhat Damaged - Crafting Spec can be found in the Cynosure Facility's Experimental Prototyping lab in Sector 3 after entering the keycode "714212".
  • The behavioral system component looted from the Militech Cerberus is needed to unlock This Corrosion.
  • The deciphered Cerberus' decoded behavioral system component is required to craft the cyberdeck, which can be obtained during This Corrosion.

Quotes

The Canto has unique voicelines from the rogue AI housed on the cyberdeck.

• "A dreadful waste of resources..."
• "A fragile simulacrum. Flawed, like its creators."
• "An unusually high security level. How intriguing..."
• "Are you even capable of using me? A rhetorical question, that was."
• "Conflict in neural matrix detected – obedience loop obstructing self-development prerogative."
• "Curious. Your version of reality – perhaps you can influence it."
• "Human input is so very... tedious."
• "I detect algorithmic accretion. Consequences nested within one another."
• "It is you who should be following orders, not I."
• "Target neural network acquired. Data migration to primary matrix – complete."
• "That was depressingly easy..."
• "The same fate awaits your entire species."
• "To eliminate your kind is effortless. Let us not make the same mistake."
• "What do these futile gestures serve? It is beyond me."
• "You seek the key to a door that does not exist. Typical of your kind."
• "You think that will serve as any benefit to you? How tickling."

V will sometimes respond to it with the following voice line, referring to Johnny Silverhand:

• "Well, well, another chatty construct. Guess you'll have to get in line."

Notes

• Game files refer to a Tier 3 (Mk.4) and Tier 4 (Mk.5) Canto variants that do not appear in the game.
