Years ago, the Lin Kuei Grandmaster determined that his assassin clan would be more effective by eliminating their human weaknesses. They would adopt cybernetic bodies and technologically enhanced minds. In preparation, the Grandmaster ordered all members to submit to tests, during which their physical and mental data was secretly recorded and stored in an offsite database. After Sub-Zero eliminated all cyber-Lin Kuei, Special Forces discovered their hidden data storage site. They brought the drives to a secret S-F weapons lab, then downloaded several files into a test body. The consciousness of Sektor, Cyrax and Smoke somehow intermingled and brought the body to life. The "Triborg" wiped the lab clean of human occupants -- and now seeks to eliminate all organic life.

there's still no clue for as to how it's even possible that Smoke is part of all this, since he was never a cyber ninja in the first place. perhaps the Lin Kuei had a 100% robot Smoke made after failing to seize the real deal? I know this is an old comment, but a hypothesis I have is something to consider. Perhaps when they attempted to capture Smoke, they were able to absorb enough knowledge of his consciousness to essentially 'program' a smoke-like consciousness to test the armor built for cyber smoke. We still have no idea of the exact process, and since triborg has managed to store three consciousnesses (4 if we count Cyber Sub Zero) I believe that they have to make a program similar to their consciousness in order to make the transition to armor seamless. I apologize if it doesn't make any sense,but I am trying to say that since Smoke was almost taken,the kidnappers may have enough of smoke'a consciousness to program the rest based on what they know of him (he has served the Lin kuei for a long time) and since his consciousness was stored in the event they did kidnap him again and reprogram him, triborg would easily have access to Smoke'a memory and abilities
