| Armitage Corto was born to an upper class Executive Vice President of the NeuroDyne Corporation and had a first rate education. Honestly his youth was nearly boring by the standards of Neon City. This presents us with a nearly philosophical problem - can Armitage truly have been considered a citizen of Neon City if he didn't peer through the veil of the NeuroDyne Corporation until his mid twenties? It was during his residency in the NeuroDyne Medical Academy that Armitage saw a poor person burst onto the ward, bleeding profusely from what he recognized as a NeuroDyne Cyber Implant. The young doctor rushed to help a person in need but security intervened and shuffled him politely, but very firmly, away from the doctors. When Armitage inquired about it later he was fed a fairly obviously fake story about a pre-existing condition that he realized the fundamental truth of the rules of power - "Those with power make the rules to suit them." | Armitage Corto was born to an upper class Executive Vice President of the [[NeuroDyne_Corporation|NeuroDyne Corporation]] and had a first rate education.

| Several years later Doctor Corto had made a bit of a name for himself in Augmentation Surgery and was sought out by a researcher named Aleph Judge who asked if Corto could install some hardware into a patient of his. Aleph's lab was a horror show straight out of the old vids. Several of these patients were already more machine than flesh and most couldn't think clearly enough to call out for help. Armitage was a bright guy and accused Aleph's new innovation of being a brain slave unit; a hypothesized technique to use a living mind as nothing more than a mere terminal! Armitage threatened to take this matter up with Aleph's superiors - but the next thing he knew he was in a room with HR and NeuroDyne's legal team. He signed an NDA and escaped NeuroDyne's influences - but always felt like there was a shadow hanging over his head. | Several years later Doctor Corto had made a bit of a name for himself in Augmentation Surgery and was sought out by a researcher named Aleph Judge who asked if Corto could install some hardware into a patient of his.
