Wasn't expecting The Cyber Initiative method to be like how it was in MK2011, it looked wack (the cyborgs attempting to change Smoke in the Living Forest). Would be more realistic if the procedure was surgical. There's a difference between transforming Lin Kuei, (like Sektor, Smoke and Cyrax) who have different qualities to be catered to when constructed by the machines and scientists, and building assassins like in the Lin Kuei Assembly. I can imagine they assemble common Lin Kuei from scratch and the technology is covertly universal (as in used among other clans).
