It took "15,000 man hours" to create him. In his first task he appeared when [[June Turner]] was making a statement to protesters about Department microchips. When they started throwing fruit, Drake angrily ordered the [[CCPC]]s to arrest them. Orthrus suddenly appeared and opened fire on the Department's banners and balloons and then shot Drake. Drake issued a warrant for K9's arrest. When K9 said he had no memory of the attack, Professor [[Alistair Gryffen|Gryffen]] put a device on K9's tail to see if he went "walkabout" during the next night. During that night, Orthrus went into the mansion and severely damaged [[Mariah]]. [[Darius Pike]] was furious with K9 and Drake sent two CCPCs to arrest K9. Despite what he thought K9 done, Darius attacked a CCPC and ran with K9, Starkey and Jorjie. When they split up Darius was alone with K9 (actually Orthrus), he noticed him acting oddly and ran when he opened fire on him. He told [[Starkey]] and [[Jorjie]] what happened but they didn't believe him. When Orthrus arrived, it armed its cannon at Jorjie, Starkey stepped in her way to protect her. When Orthrus prepared to fire he was fired at by the real K9. Orthrus tried to attack K9 but was disabled. When Drake came in and tried to arrest K9, June Turner told Drake that Project Orthrus was not approved by Department and his plot was foiled. ([[K9TV]]: ''[[Jaws of Orthrus]]'') | ||

However since Orthrus was created using Department technology from [[2050]] and K9 was created in the [[51st century]] with possible [[Time Lord]] modifications, it was inferior to the original. | ||
