Altron

Myk Arapos, later known as Altron, was a Mondite who became an electronic entity.

Bio
He was born "about fifty years ago" on Kieyok, and grew up thinking that his planet was galaxy-class in every area and didn't realise that they didn't need to join the Reticulum.

As other youths, he was educated in the local universities supplied by the Education Opportunities, Inc. which was actually Mondite recruitment tactic; this propaganda eventually normalised Mondite culture on the planet. By his 18th year he was a fanatic supporter of the Paragon and wanted to preach his "wisdom" to all the galaxy. However being unable to travel to planets with different atmosphere, he felt trapped on his homeworld.

The solution came when the Mondites asked him to participate in an experiment with downloading memories and intellect into computer databanks, achieving the wish of many Mondites, and one of the obsessions of the Paragon; many failed experiments were sacrificed to that cause, as it burned the cortex of the subjects while tracing the electrical network of the brain. However it happened to be successful with Myk, as during an incredible pain, his brain was mapped, annotated, coded and transferred into a computer matrix.

But they never realised; the assistants made jokes about the intricate scorch marks and the scientist's funding was eventually cut off; Myk's intellect that survived into the computer could witness all that but never let them know. He didn't stay where they had expected either, as he had lost his interest in the Mondites, and left to explore the Reticulum's electronic Web.

While taping some Mondite datafiles in a system, it was hyper-jacked through to the Kasenko with a security blackout, and Altron was unable to download off. The Kasenko was bound for Daedalus, and it was cannibalised to become a laboratory base. Due to the top-secret nature of the operation, there was no outgoing commication that would allow Altron to escape with some energy burst and we remained trapped there for years.

When Eden Escher broke the translation barrier, Alstron spent his time creativing some tentative and weak link with the native Phyxx technology, and (somehow painfully) accessed information about the Phyxx.

His escape out was found with Amet Mastaba's new experiment, AP-127. Altron tapped into his brain, which was wiped from memories, provided him information about hisbackgrounds, and gave him guidance to escape the base, and the moon.

Trivia
Altron is mentioned only in the BioForge Guide and serves as the in-universe narrator of the hints. One of the last sections of the book are his autobiography, which also serve as the backstory of the BioForge universe, exposing the backgrounds of entities mentioned in text and dialogues.
