Dunedin was a test robot using gene manipulation as a basis. Fabricating a new helix structure and proteins to read it, scientists managed to create an organic production line to fabricate parts automatically and internally for a robot using a mix of organic and engineered material. They applied this system to a test body they had produced using light weight alloys for the frame, a mix of artificial and modified organic muscle tissue, a new 'heart' out of highly condensed volatile matter to create an internal energy source to power her indefinitely, and other modified organic parts augmented by engineered parts. The first few years of her life she was held in isolation, batteries of tests run on her time and again as the scientists tinkered away. Eventually they got to a point where they
