## Biography

cam-RON was built using pieces from a flying drone, a smart speaker equipped with IPA, a laptop computer, and a smartphone. This required the collective minds of the doctor/chemist Connor Cynes, mechanical engineer Raphael Burnston, and tech whiz Chester. The base model for cam-RON was the newest version of the CLIMAX S14 Smartphone, known for it's amazing camera with a clear laser focus zoom function, and being equipped with a long-distance parabolic microphone. Chester was demonstrating this function to a customer as a electronics store when the outlet mall was ambushed by a horde of zombies. Without realizing, he held onto the phone as he ran for safety, slipping it into his pocket. It came in handy when he used to zoom function on the camera like binoculars, as well as the sensitive mic to track where the zombies were going. He was able to lead them to the outlet mall's courtyard around the clock tower, where he met Raphael Burnston and was able to clear the horde out.

Chester, Burnston, and Cynes became good friends and colleagues in the science department of Fort City. Using the very same phone and several other electronics, he was able to piece together and program a very intelligent flying robot, which he named cam-RON because of the camera. cam-RON is essentially all the remains of the internet, being linked to a massive underground hard drive and transmitter below Cynes' fort, and a smaller one located in the supply run truck. Chester and Burnston planned on creating more, but this was cut short due to Chester's mysterious disappearance in the wasteland.
