Tech-01

The title of Tech-01 is a matter of prestige within the COBRA Special Weapons Program. There will always be a Tech-01, the only thing that changes is the face. The role of Tech-01 is a dangerous task. Typically he, or she, will spearhead research and development of a highly classified nature.

When given the designation of Tech-01, all other titles are dismissed and done away with. This helps ensure both an air of intrigue about the role, but also has various security and control applications which keep COBRA projects as much a secret as they are.

Current Tech-01
The current Tech-01 was formerly known as Techno-Viper 1493. He started service with the name Don Averson, a Warrant Officer in the Royal Australian Air Force. However, hard times and a disdain for the politics that governed his branch led him to start scouting other jobs and offers. One eventually landed him in COBRA.

As a Techno-Viper with prior experience in the aviation community, he focused his efforts on the air-wing. It did not take long for him to find himself in charge of a maintenance wing, and from there he began to branch out. Again drawing on prior experience, he cross-trained with the Strato- and Star-Vipers he was frequently in contact with, posting qualification scores that caught the eye of the engineers within the Special Weapons division.

One such man was James Ritter.

Under Ritter, Techno-Viper 1493 found himself involved in a fair number of special programs involving the development and testing of highly classified systems for COBRA to utilize in the field. When James Ritter was killed in a test-flight over the pacific, Karl Strausus took over the Tech-01 title for a brief time, but died shortly after in a vehicle crash.

The void was notable, and after a brief deliberation, Techno-Viper 1493 as a designation was retired, and Don took the mantle of Tech-01.
