GCOS was born in 1962, in Phoenix, Arizona. Little is known of GCOS' earliest life, but sometime in the mid-1960s, she was contracted by MIT to help in the creation of a next-generation OS-tan called [[Multics]]-tan (she was also something of a step-sister to GCOS, as they shared a company in common). She never particularly liked the job - her relationship with Multics' mother, [[CTSS]]-tan, was uneasy at best, and as Multics matured she began to simultaneously revile and fear the girl. Having witnessed some of Multics' close brushes with death and near psychological-collapses under the weight of her own mental and magical complexity, she initially thought Multics would be a failure and bring financial ruin and embarrassment to her company. However, as Multics began mature into a somewhat emotionally and magically-adjusted young adult, GCOS began to fear the opposite - that customers would reject her in favor of the magically and academically-superior Multics. | GCOS was born in 1962, in Phoenix, Arizona.

In the year 1969, Multics debuted and became an "official" rival to GCOS. Forbidden from fighting her step-sister directly, all hope of defeating Multics seemed at least temporary out of reach. In the summer of the same year, GCOS was yet again contracted to help with the creation of an OS-tan - this time, the location was Bell Labs, and the OS-tan in question was [[Unix]]-tan. It didn't take GCOS long to piece together that Unix was the genetic daughter of Multics - and she was equally hasty in machinating a plot to take down her step-sister indirectly. | |||
