*"Well, my dear Mr. Yellowbeak, it seems thou art smarter than I had thought."*

```

```
 -Tristan Cox, *'A Questionable Enterprise'*

```

Tristan Cox is a 13 year-old human from St Andrews, Scotland. He is the 2nd-in-command of Cluckus Industries.

#### Creation

Tristan, with the help of Nathaniel Honkus, created CPU59 as a pet project. He was a clone of Tristan in every way, except for a defective heart which double-beat.

#### Switch

At about 8, Tristan fell from a tree he was climbing, and broke his spine. Due to this mishap, CPU59 stepped in, taking his place. Tristan, unconscious, was put into a medically-induced coma and hidden inside Cluckus Mainframe 03.

*Note: From this point on, CPU59 will be referred to as 'Tristan', as he has taken that role.*

#### The adventures

In late 2019, the Chooks went to Sweden, risking being captured by the Swedish Animal Control. Tristan confronted them when he returned, having also been in Sweden (with his mum), but all the Chooks escaped, as well as the bounty hunter Nathaniel Honkus. Tristan caught all the Chooks in time for them to look (from the humans point of view) as though they were going to bed. However, Tristan didn't catch Nathaniel in time, and had to sneak out of bed that night to go find him.

Afterwards, the Chooks apologised, and a month later, they pulled off a robbery together. 2 months after that, Tristan completed a device he called the TASM, which was actually a homemade TARDIS. In it, he had many adventures with the Chooks, until he managed to get his hands on a real TARDIS, at which point he gave the TASM to Preston Honkus. He then immediately crashed it in the year 3000, causing him to have to fake a regeneration.

#### The Regenerations

Regeneration was Tristan's excuse for the Cluckus Monitoring Device on Tristan registering a broken spine, then no heartbeat, then a double heartbeat and no broken spine. (CPU59 taking Tristan's monitoring device after the tree incident)

After that, Tristan created a healing implant, hidden in a fake skin glove on his left hand, so that he would always be able to help the chickens. To help his cover story, he added a prosthetic scrambler and hair dye implants, as well as a fake Time Lord fire effect.

When CPU59A shot him (see Merida and Tristan), his implant had been damaged by the crash of the TASM beforehand, and did not work properly. He later claimed that he trapped the face-changing part of the regeneration, using it after the Cluckus Industries Lockdown (see The Time Paradox Part 2)

A month later, Tristan pretended to create his first artificial regeneration, minutes before pretending to succumb to Thirteenth Complex. When he was knocked unconscious due to his implant glitching, he entered his own mind and met a personification of his earlier self, who was determined to reclaim control of Tristan's body. When the two realised neither could beat the other, they forced a stalemate, both working together to force Tristan's body to activate the implant.

After pretending to regenerate into Tristan 3, Tristan was unconscious for about 5 hours. He was woken by a heat on his cheek, which was later revealed to happen whenever a CPU59 used their built-in healing implant.

When the TARDIS crashed into Earth in the year 3000, Tristan was unable to get out in time, and was killed in the crash. A failsafe he had programmed into the TARDIS redirected a bolt of lightning to activate a the implant, causing him to 'regenerate' into Tristan 4. This Tristan had shocking ginger hair, which Tristan was quite pleased about.

Tristan 'regenerated' twice in the Battle of the Cluckus Institute, being shot by Daleks twice. Tristan 5 had blond, extremely curly, hair, and Tristan 6 accidentally 'regenerated' back into the form of Tristan 1, due to using the healing implant to heal a Dalek mutant, causing it to fill the space within its shell and explode. Once back in his own body, Tristan's first meal was cereal in mushroom ketchup!

A day later when the Daleks attempted to exterminate Earth, Tristan, having removed the face-changing effect since it was no longer necessary, plugged the healing implant into the industrial HSI generators, causing everything which had just been exterminated to come back to life.

His ninth 'regeneration' was when he was badly hurt fighting a Raston Warrior Robot, on board the *Canary Bird*.

He last used the healing implant when he jumped 1 1/2 miles down a mineshaft to the HSI lab during a fake battle scenario with the A2 prototypes.

#### 2021

In the start of 2021, Tristan became worried about Hillary Cluckus when she started developing psychopathy. When he found her on the verge of executing Ignotus Yellowbeak, he forced her to step down as CEO of Cluckus Industries, putting Merida Cluckus in charge.

In early May, 2021, Tristan and Merida were onboard C.I.S. *Sahara* when an experimental time-travel device malfunctioned, causing the ship to nearly reach Hyperspeed 10. The hyperengine soon gave out however, sending the *Sahara* spinning onto a direct collision course with the C.I.S. *Canary Bird*. Tristan and Merida used the *Sahara*'s Captain's Shuttle to destroy the ship's saucer section, but the ship's self-preservation protocols caused the stardrive section to detach and utilise the time-travel device to travel back to 1906. The time distortion near an antimatter explosion caused the saucer debris to zap backwards through time. One piece of debris hit CPU59D's escape pod, sending him back 320 years to Earth, along with Tristan's prototype device, the Immortaliser. Another piece hit the Captain's Shuttle, sending it back to 1906 as well.

#### 1906

When Tristan and Merida were sent back to 1906, they encountered the C.I.S. *Apollo*, an Interplanetary-class Cluckus Starship from July 2021. Merida used the *Apollo*'s dome section to return to May 2021, but thanks to the tomfoolery of Eris Loris, Tristan was left behind.

Soon after he was left behind, a rift opened to a parallel universe, which was being destroyed due to a paradox. Tristan was able to retrieve one thing: a 'watch' containing Mexican Tristan. A while later, the two Tristans worked together to defeat Eris Loris, however, this caused more Bakrêsh to arrive; namely Eris Loskas, Eris Laertes, and Eris Locutus. Erises Loskas and Laertes were supposedly killed, but Eris Locutus decided to side with the crew of the *Apollo*, admitting he'd only joined the Bakrêsh infantry to be with his brothers.

After that, the *Sahara*'s heavily damaged stardrive section appeared. By going onboard, Tristan discovered the self-preservation program, and thus how it had survived an antimatter explosion. Mexican Tristan tested all the controls, and the ship was in good condition, considering what it had been through.

The next day, Tristan was testing out a new modification for his Cluckerbang, when he accidentally shot a bullet into the rift that Mexican Tristan had come through. This started to break down the barriers between universes, causing duplicates of the *Apollo* and the *Sahara* to appear, and even what was thought to be a version of the C.I.S. *Yamato*, but was later revealed to be the C.I.S. *Ruptured Duck*. The C.I.S. *Mojave* also appeared.

Although the ships eventually got back to their own universes, 3 *Apollo*s and 3 *Sahara*s stayed behind longer, interlinking their teleporters and replicators to build an entirely new dome section for the *Apollo*.

After the last 6 ships had gone, Tristan, CPU59Ƿ, and Mexican Tristan blew up the TASM next to the rift sealing it for good. However, moments before the TASM exploded, a small gooseship flew out, containing Iotus Yellowbeak. He was eventually captured after blowing a hole in the dome section of the *Apollo*, and later he suffered a heart attack, dying in his cell.

Later, Nathaniel and Preston Honkus arrived, with Preston's stolen body of CPU59C in severe need of repair, having lost vision and control of various parts. Tristan put Preston's consciousness into the body of Iotus Yellowbeak, which caused CPU59C's dormant personality subroutines to active, resulting in CPU59C 'waking up' for the first time.

A few days later, Tristan accidentally crashed the *Sahara* into the Wild West on Earth, after enlisting the help of two cowboys to unbury it, he took off again, and he and CPU59Ƿ finally went home.

#### 2021 Part II

Once home, Tristan rendezvoused with the C.I.S. *Challenger* and Mrs Pennyfeather. He quickly recognised the Captain's Office, and learnt of the fate of the C.I.S. *Yamato*, the ship he captained. Using a fake suitcase in his old quarters, he was able to regain access to the TASM, beginning repairs and landing on the bridge of the *Yamato II*. Onboard the *Yamato II*, Tristan expressed surprise at the Bird-of-Prey project having gone ahead, stating 'Guess I have been gone a while.'

Afterwards, he met with Hillary and Merida, both of whom were joyous at his return. Mexican Tristan also arrived, and was placed in command of the new C.I.S. *Sonoran*. The two were placed in a training mission, which was a completely useless exercise as the two ignored everything they were supposed to do, Tristan even saying about the *Mojave* turning up, 'Just bash it with the swing-wings.' However, the two were still placed in command of their respective ships.

Later, Tristan began the construction of the A2 cyborg series. A201 was activated on his own, just to test out the series and make minor adjustments before producing the rest of the cyborgs. While Tristan and A201 were spending time together, for A201 to gain first-hand experience of social interaction, a TASM malfunction caused the two to end up in the Chernobyl power plant on the day of the Chernobyl disaster. Afterwards, due to the TASM malfunction, Tristan and A201 were forced to send a note to the *Yamato II* in the future, which arrived to return them home. However, a confrontation with the Daleks caused the *Yamato II* to be presumed destroyed, with the crew evacuating through the temporal rift created when the *Yamato II* arrived.

A couple of months later, Tristan was put in command of the new Refit Type 2 Solar-class C.I.S. *Yamato III*.

Between the presumed destruction of the *Yamato II* and the construction of the *Yamato III*, the rest of the A2 cyborg series was produced, and Tristan, along with other Cluckus higher-ups, frequently participated in capability tests with the A2s.

#### 2022

Some time after the construction of the *Yamato III*, Cluckus Industries fell prey to a Bakrêsh trap. This caused all Cluckus ships to desert Earth to combat a new Bakrêsh warship in the Bakra system. When Tristan and the *Yamato III* returned, they found the populace of Earth gone, with only 59 Lade Braes remaining intact.

Upon arrival at the Lade Braes, Tristan and his crew activated Protocol 914, causing 59 Lade Braes to descend into the bunker, the bunker then becoming the C.I.S. *Patriot*, thanks to Tristan having built a spaceship around the bunker. Tristan's crew then contacted Nathan and Preston, utilising the TARDIS to go back in time and prevent the invasion.

Some time between the Bakrêsh invasion and the A2 training simulation, Tristan borrowed and crashed the C.I.S. *Cluck II*.

Afterwards, another training simulation was requested by the A2s. During the final fight of the exercise, Baron von Kluck appeared on the *Mojave*, helping out Tristan's team. The C.I.S. *Ferocity* was thrown backwards towards Mars by a deflector dish blast by von Kluck. Regaining minimal system control, the *Ferocity* made a warp jump straight at Jupiter, however one of the rifts appeared, the explosion backwash saving the ship from crashing, and also firing a car tyre onto the bridge.

A few weeks later, Tristan, Merida, and von Kluck encountered another, much smaller rift in the Cluckus Bunker. With his armour, Baron von Kluck was able to retrieve a piece of debris from the other side of the rift, which turned out to be Geeky's registration plate.

After the Geeky Incident occured, Tristan became a ghost, but with the help of the AI power armour suits Lazarus, Diablo, Spectrum, Helicon, and Halcyon, was able to put time back on course - at the cost of sacrificing himself. When time corrected itself, CPU59B was the one in the car with Tristan's mum, and the car got hit by a bus, instead of the TARDIS.

When Tristan should have died for good, he got sucked up by the Iconian prison computer Dominion. There, he found Eris Laertes. When Mexican Tristan discovered Tristan's watch, which he had turned into a communication device, Cluckus Industries were able to contact Tristan, who instructed them to remove the communication chip from the watch and destroy the chip, as well as destroying Mexican Tristan's gun. They were also to use Mexican Tristan's gun to destroy the *Titanic.*

After that had been done, all of the links between the reality created by Dominion and the real world were sealed off, and the *Titanic* was also inside Dominion's reality. Tristan used the freedom of the reality to repair the *Titanic* to some extent using atoms from the interior. Afterwards, he created a self-replicating program, crashing Dominion and causing it to release its prisoners, including the newly-upgraded *Titanic*. Dominion then ejected them from the surface of La Planeta Fantasma, launching the *Titanic* and its passengers towards Earth. Eris Laertes used his technical skills to give the *Titanic* a set of fake Cluckus codes (C.I.S. *Borealis*, Kaiser-class), prompting Merida to ask 'What is it?', to which Hillary responded, 'Tearing itself to pieces', which was true as the *Titanic* was by no means spaceworthy.

As the crumbling *Titanic* approached Earth, Tristan and Eris Laertes jumped aboard the *Cluck III*, where they engaged in a fight with Merida's bodyguards as they attempted to get to the bridge. After greeting Merida and Hillary, Tristan teleported to the Cluckus Industries bunker, where he greeted a depressed Baron von Kluck as 'Lord Buckethead'. However, Valery then made his announcement of the separation of the Cluckus Institute, having used Tristan's apparent death to get his people into position. It was then revealed that about half of the Cluckus spaceships had been taken by Valery's coup, leaving only spaceships in for repairs, the *Challenger*, and the *Sonoran,* which were quickly crewed and sent to retrieve the other spaceships. Tristan then got two more crews together and activated the C.I.S. *Patriot*, which followed the other two spaceships. Tristan then disabled the miniaturisation fields on the Cluckus Institute-controlled Cluckus Hotel, effectively destroying it.

Hillary went to COHQ to oversee everything that was going on, but Merida was confused about how she would participate. Tristan contacted Herbert Eagle to use the Y.C.S. *Vegas*. It rendezvoused with Valery's flagship, the C.I.S. *Albemarle*. Baron von Kluck was sent over to negotiate, but the negotiations were cut short by news of an attack on COHQ by Destructor Prime. All the Industries and Institute ships returned to Earth, where Tristan discovered that alternate reality versions of himself and Hillary were piloting Destructor Prime. CPU59B was able to stop them, but one Tristan, Prince Tristan, escaped.

Discovering that Ignotus Yellowbeak and the newly-formed Yellowbeak Brotherhood were behind the hijacking of Destructor Prime, Baron von Kluck kidnapped Montgomery Honkus in the middle of Paris. Meanwhile, Tristan, Mexican Tristan and Hillary were confronted by the Kalron, a previously unknown alien race who had been disturbed when the *Titanic* was flown through their planetary system. The conflict was resolved when Merida crashed the *Cluck III* through the Kalron shields, getting aboard and C4-ing the left engine.

After the kidnapping of Montgomery, Ignotus Yellowbeak retaliated by kidnapping CPU59B and Preston Honkus, intending to use CPU59B as a vessel for the brain of Iotus Yellowbeak. When Hillary and Merida attempted to hack their way into the Arcturus Vault where Ignotus was hiding, Tristan simply used a crowbar to break down the weak point that leads to the wine cellar of 65 High Street. Ignotus was arrested, and Prince Tristan was only able to get out with 9 employees and the brain of Iotus Yellowbeak.

#### 2023

A week later, the Kalron attacked COHQ, but were defeated. COHQ and the Cluckus Fleet then moved to the Centauri system to remove attention from Earth. While going through information provided by Viola Honkus, Tristan Cox and Valery Cluckus-Grey discovered that James Pond was one of the Yellowbeak Brotherhood Generals, and Tristan took the shuttle C.I.S. *Morgana le Fey* to COHQ and arrested James Pond. They then discovered that the Yellowbeaks were using Geaston Manor as their base of operations, and Tristan lent Baron von Kluck his sword to kill Prince Tristan, which he did (albeit with Prince Tristan's own sword). Tristan turned up at Geaston Manor in Victoria afterwards, just in time for the adrift C.I.S. *Yamato II* to submit to orbital decay and fall to Earth, gliding over Geaston Manor and crashing on the nearby Granta Farm.

After the repairs of the C.I.S. *Yamato II*, Tristan officiated Aurelia Cluckus becoming CEO of Cluckus Industries.

Following this, he encountered the C.I.S. *Yamato XIV*, captained by his son. The *Yamato XIV* apparently sacrificed itself to destroy a Kalron Mothership, but Tristan pulled Quinton out using the teleporters when he discovered that the shields had been tightened a bit too much on the future *Yamato*. The two got on well after Tristan pointed out that technically, he was still Quinton's father, despite the fact that Quinton was three years older than him.

Afterwards, he helped in discovering the Legend of the Horsemen. This led to a several-month long war between the Red Death, the Kalron Empire, and the Triple Entente. He also helped in Project Safe Haven, building the Space Elevator and Cox Manor on Paradise Falls.

The Horsemen War culminated in the Battle of Exeter Safehouse, in which Baron Von Kluck died. Tristan filed a report to Mrs Pennyfeather, the acting CEO at the time. In the report, he detailed the fact that the Baron was the real Tristan. As such, Tristan handed in his 2 weeks notice of resignation from Cluckus Industries, then fixing all the problems he had caused before quitting on the spot when Aurelia began to berate him.

He began work at the Cluckus Institute, being involved in the Zircon Incident and the transfer of the gold to Catamaran Safehouse. Shortly after, he was contacted by Xelqua Dierkes and reminded of the Great Game, which he had forgotten about due to his demanding job.

#### The Great Game

When the Great Game began, Callum Argyll was kidnapped by Ngai Xin. Xelqua warned Tristan about this, and Tristan rescued Callum using a small nuke to blow open the Chinese's hideout.

Manfred Schwoebel then infiltrated the Cluckus Institute while Tristan was busy, and the Cluckus Institute gathered in the GLaDES control room. Tristan returned as Manfred accessed the room, and activated Jeopardy Safehouse, evacuating the Cluckus Institute members. Manfred was later shot and killed by Callum.
