— Bio-Beta (Before Unlocking Betagrid 0.9.)
|
Bio-Beta is one of the Derelicts of the Lun Infinus Space Station and is a character from The Desolate Hope.
He believes mankind has been destroyed, but has confidence that he will be able to create a new and improved human race. Using bio samples sent from Earth, Bio-Beta uses a fluid filled tube in his station to test and grow different compounds with the goal of creating a human being. Each experiment yields some sort of fleshy mass, sometimes an entire body, but he lacks the means to give awareness to the empty bodies he's formed. He has created advanced techniques for sustaining biological life, but creating sentience remains beyond his grasp. He feels the answer may lie in finding Sample 217, the only sample missing from the array of materials sent with the original mission.
Appearance
Bio-Beta seems to be mostly comprised of, aside from his head, hips, and chest-plate, wires and massive metal conduits that can be clearly seen on his frame. The conduits hold his neck, arms, fingers, and waist together. The only exceptions are the metal tubes on his head, chest-plate, and the conduits that make up his legs, giving them a tentacle-like appearance. His "legs" cannot be seen in the simulations. His dominant colour is green.
Bio-Beta's Station
Bio-Beta's back
Bio-Beta's station is covered in various wires and electrical conduits. Green spheres hang from the ceiling and there appears to be multiple security cameras lining the room. In the foreground, a desk holds coloured tubes, a mechanical hand in a specimen jar and many clocks set at various times. The centre of the room holds a large specimen tube, likely to be one of Bio-Beta's experiments to create new human life. A mechanical claw hangs on the far right wall and occasionally clasps. The main source of light are three lamps hanging from the ceiling.
