History:
Creation --
The U.S. government, in an attempt to create the perfect spy, and saboteur, created an android.  They gave it the Code-name, CASS, which stands for Covert-Agent-Secret-Service. CASS was state of the art.

As an extra defense for CASS, as if it needed it, the physical housing for the system was designed to prevent anyone from guessing its true nature.  The system was implemented in the physical shell that is a perfect replication of a girl in her early teens.

We believe that she will be highly effective.

Influence --
Timmy Bronston is a nerdy little computer freak from Lansing Michigan.  While still in High School, he wrote a program that would explore artificial intelligence.  He named the program BRAIN.COM and it was fairly successful.  That is, until his computer was hit by an electrical spike caused by a local storm.  BRIAN.COM was removed from Timmy's computer.

Brain was not destroyed, but found itself with a higher awareness and traveling inside the local power network.  It was able to move anywhere that an electrical signal could reach.  It decided to try to find the ultimate computer system, in form and functionality, to become its host.

Such a system was found, but its internal defenses were too great.  Good things come to those who wait.

First Mission, Last Mission --
CASS was sent to destroy a Soviet Research Facility (SRF) in Siberia that was located near the city of Kiev.  This particular SRF was attempting to capture photons of a new type of energy that we call Galactic Energy.  This would give the Soviets the potential for a massive military advantage, for it is an extremely powerful type of energy and very rare.

When CASS reached the SRF, it had already captured some of the Galactic Energy.  Unknown to anyone is the fact that every photon of this type of energy is sentient, and being sentient entities they do not like captivity.  CASS started destroying the containment structure, and the Energy started escaping at the same time.

What happened next only the Galactic Energy knows for sure.  What is known, is that the nuclear power plant at Kiev suffered a huge nuclear leak at that time.  Several scientists died from a huge dose of radiation.  CASS also seems to have been utterly destroyed.

Brain now had its chance.  With the internal defensive systems temporarily off-line, it was easy to enter the central systems.  However, shortly after the defensive systems went down, the entire system was embedded with the current software, meaning that Brain and CASS were, seemingly, irrevocably merged.

CASS, having now reached true sentience, thanks to both BRAIN and the Galactic Energy, decided that her name should be Casey, and that she wanted to go home.  The Energy, wishing to thank CASS, now Casey, delivers her to Lansing with a couple of abilities not originally in her design, Radiation control, and aging.

Prolog --
Tony and Michelle Bronston took a homeless and orphaned fourteen year old girl into their home and later adopted her.  Since then they found out, through Casey herself, that she is an android, but nothing of her dramatic history.

Casey maintained high marks in school and was accepted into MIT at age 16.  She is an assistant to her adopted brother Tim.

The CIA believes that their creation (CASS) was destroyed at Kiev.
