Biomatrix, as it appears to itself. Though tens of thousands of lifeforms have been integrated over the past 116 planets the Biomatrix has judged, only a few of those personalities have been retained within as distinct voices. The rest simply make up the mass of Biomatrix's knowledge.



Biomatrix, as it appears to Snippy when projecting itself into his mind. It knows Snippy well enough to know Snippy's less likely to panic if it appears more like a singular human consciousness, even though it speaks in multiple, overlaid voices. Needless to say, it doesn't do comfort very well.



Biomatrix has no compunctions about lying, such as promising that time can't be altered, or that it wouldn't interfere.

The temporal displacement allowed Biomatrix 117 to look through all of Snippy's genetic heritage, from his caveman ancestors to his far-distant descendants. In the far future, Snippy's descendants will repopulate the earth and Biomatrix 117 will disperse amongst the human race. It will become their afterlife, for although it will allow them to live as they please, it will claim them upon their deaths, integrating their memories and matter into its whole. As such, it has a vested interest in Snippy's wellbeing.
Biomatrix has its own sense of humour and frequently pokes at Snippy's more uptight responses. Its greatest source of angst is that Snippy doesn't have multiple redundancies for his vital systems, making him far too flimsy for Biomatrix's liking. It frequently attempts to reason, bribe or wheedle Snippy into harvesting spares.

As a tetravirus, its greatest wish is to spread and integrate all living life into its whole. Immortality has its perks, one of which is that it's in no rush to achieve this goal. However, the goal isn't going to be achieved if Snippy doesn't attempt to reproduce, spreading their combined DNA.
