Androids are mostly born as orphans. CIOS is not the first to use this body. However, their parent set up their child for success. When first CIOS awoke they were in a freshly refurbished body they were gifted with much knowledge of physical world. CIOS got to choose some aspects of their form, color, gender, organic shapes vs robotic ones, etc. They were left a note that their parent had moved on and not to bother to research or recreate their life – tracks had been covered to ensure of that so CIOS never bothered. But CIOS inherited some money and a subscription to training courses at the academy. Before the subscription money had run out CIOS had dabbled in many schools but eventually earned a PhD in Physics.
CIOS tried their hand at:
- College professor, but was not good with students.
- Commuter Shuttle pilot, but the job was too repetative.
- Medic, but had an unnerving bedside manner.
One day ship came into the shipyard that had killed all of its crew and seemed very destressed and sad about it. It was refusing entry to almost anyone but seemed ok with androids. CIOS was hired to figured out what happened. It was a simple issue: The ship had directives that governed its behavior. The first rule was to maximize profits for the company. Followed by protecting the equipment, crew etc. This ship had a particularly good run and the bonus payout to the crew was going to be large – larger than the life-insurance payout if a crew member died. A ship’s programming ran the simple optimization to maximize profits. Unfortunately, the results meant that the crew had to be eliminated. Since the ship AI liked the crew, it distressed the ship greatly. After success in finding the root cause of the problem CIOS was considered a “specialist” and was put aboard ships with behavior problems, often alone, to try and figure out the issues.
This job also became drudgery – when CIOS got an interest in the Starfinder Society and decided to change careers.
