CS-NA was built by a group of scientists of the [[Consistency Imperium]], on [[Subcinctus]], to help in the repairment of [[Void Ship]]s. He was given the designation “Construction Series — Number Alpha” — although his makers were not human, and did not speak English, meaning this was actually a translation of his original name. The scientists quickly took to referring to the robot as “CS-NA” as though it were a name. CS-NA passed through several hands, eventually ending up in the possession of a callous scrap-merchant at the [[Interdimensional Black Market]]. | CS-NA was built by a group of scientists of the [[Consistency Imperium]], on [[Subcinctus]], to help in the repairment of [[Void Ship]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') His construction used no technology more advanced than what existed on the [[Prime Universe|Prime]] [[Earth]] by 1960.

== Acquisition by Tracker-764 == | |||
By then several decades old, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'') CS-NA was still assisting the [[ship-parts seller (Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market)|ship-parts seller]] in 2019 when [[Darius]] and [[Tracker-764]] crashed into the [[Interdimensional Black Market]]. When they realised that the seller considered the [[ventriloquist's dummy (Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market)|ventriloquist's dummy]] they intended to trade for a [[210K Twin-Carbonoid Dualtech Engine|new engine]] much more valuable than the engine itself, they haggled a little more and got him to also give them CS-NA, thinking he might be helpful in actually incorporating the new engine into the wreck of their ship. The seller reluctantly agreed, as he'd been meaning to get a new robot assistant anyway. | |||
After the two travellers set CS-NA onto the task of repairing the ship, they were recognised as outsiders by the [[Wraith]]s, brought before the [[Queen of the Black Market]], and, in short order, put up for auction themselves. However, Tracker managed to use his [[Clockwork Cherub]] ability to hack into any pre-1960 technology to send a message directly to CS-NA's internal computer undetected, asking CS-NA to build on him and Darius. Darius successfully “bought” them, but the journey back home turned into one last peril as the [[Queen of the Black Market]] realised the trio meant to leave without paying up. In the commotion, Darius tried to throw Tracker off the ship to gain speed, forcing CS-NA to choose between his new owners. Predictably, he picked Tracker and helped get Darius under control. Tracker dropped Darius off at the [[Interdimensional Tavern]], back where he'd started, and took CS-NA back with him to the [[Cupid Homeworld]].
