I just want to point out that this is just a theory that I thought of, not necessarily anything true, but rather something that would bring about some interesting conversation......
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think that Noob Saibot may have something to do with this, maybe in Tri-Borg's ending.
This isn't the first time that cyborgs were messed with in an MK timeline, to suit Noob Saibot's purposes. *cough*Noob-Smoke*cough*
MK Deception Noob-Smoke Bio & Ending:
In the words of Noob Saibot, from the Bio in Deception, in the old timeline:
"Under Shao Kahn's rule I hunted enemies of his throne. As a member of the Brotherhood Of Shadow, I did Quan Chi's bidding. All the while serving Shinnok, Lord of the Netherrealm, as well. Now all my masters are gone. I am at long last free to pursue my own destiny. Outworld is where I will begin my ascension to power. Now is the time to forge a legion of assassins loyal only to Noob Saibot."
"I found my first "ally" in the abandoned fortress of Shao Kahn. Deep in the labrynth of torture chambers and prison cells the cyber ninja Smoke, lay inoperative. A war trophy of the late Emperor, Smoke had lain there since the invasion of Earthrealm. It did not take long for me to reactivate his nanotechnology, which reshaped and repaired his artificial body."
I have a feeling that Noob Saibot may have re-activated Sektor in the same way that he re-activated Smoke in the old timeline, but this time in the Lin Kuei temple rather than Shao Kahn's fortress.
Since Smoke escaped automation in the new timeline, perhaps there were blueprints lying around for his transformation in the event of his capture.
I think that Tri-Borg may indeed be the new Noob-Smoke of this time line, and the old Deception ending (IMO) points to that a bit.
Deception Ending
"With Smoke as his template, Noob Saibot planned to return to the Netherrealm and use Smoke's nanotechnology to create an army of cyborg demons. He was unaware that they were followed by someone Noob had not seen since before he became a wraith. Smoke instantly recognized their visitor. He was an echo of their past. He was Sub-Zero, Noob Saibot's brother."
"Noob Saibot was surprised to see how much stronger his brother had become. If he were still Lin Kuei, still human, he would probably have shown some degree of pride. But, as Raiden had revealed during the ordeal with Shinnok's Amulet, his soul had been tainted when he died at the hand of Scorpion. Noob Saibot, the original Sub-Zero, had descended into the Netherrealm free from compassion. He ordered Smoke to assist him in slaying his brother - his first act as ruler of the Netherrealm."
Replace Smoke with Sektor, and yeah, I think that it may very well be a possibility, even going into MK11.
Now, I know that this is a new timeline and I'm the first to say that events have transpired differently, but some of the stuff in MK9 was also just twisted around a bit to fit another character being captured.
Again, this is just me throwing around a theory, which I thought would bring up a good discussion.
