CS-NA: Difference between revisions

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. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market (short story)|Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market]]'') 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 [[Ship-parts seller (Misadventures in the Interdimensional Black Market)|callous scrap-merchant]] at the [[Interdimensional Black Market]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Winter Quests (novel)|The Winter Quests]]'')  

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.
