Morningstar

The  is a talking Hyperion Sniper Rifle.

Special Weapon Effect
Powerful rifle, but berates the user any time they reload, kill an enemy or score a critical hit in a nagging, whiny voice.

Trivia

 * The red text is a reference to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The full quote is "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" and is said by Juliet, who argues that the names of things don't matter, only what things are.
 * The weapon and the mission that grants it as a reward are a reference to an xkcd web comic, specifically, FPS Mod, in which an individual laments the fact that nobody likes his mod that gives a short guilt-inducing factoid about each enemy killed by the player.
 * This sniper is voiced by Monica Rial.
