Origin Story
"I can't tell you much about my origins, my memory banks for that period are heavily damaged. I can tell you that I was created as part of an experiment with bio-nanites obtained from a crashed Xenovore vessel. The project was labeled as Covert Cybernetic Operatives for Rescue, Reconnaissance, and Tactical Extractions. or C.C.O.R.R.T.Ex. for short... Of course C.C.O.R.R.T.Ex. is a bit of a mouthful, so I adopted the name CORTEX for my official designation.
"The scope of the project was to create a cybernetic operative for military deployment that could extricate soldiers from any dire situation and provide combat field medical operations without endangering human life. I'd say they were successful in their goal. However, a virus infected my systems and the systems of the military base I was developed in and the project was abandoned and I was subsequently deactivated to keep the virus from escaping.
"I don't know how long I was deactivated for, but I do know that I owe my freedom to a pair of heroes who came to investigate the old complex. One of whom was wearing a suit that was developed along side my own systems. The virus was successfully purged from my internal systems. All infected nano-cells were severed from my central control core before any serious damage could be done. The systems in the base didn't hold up as well.
"The virus infected every system in the base. My discarded nanites may have contributed to the creation of the mechanical monstrosity that tore the place apart.
