Circuit Nibbles

Background & Personality

Mutant hamster spliced with data-processing algorithms from a high-end mainframe. Lean and wiry at 5'1", with a blinking amber cybernetic monocle over his left eye and a technician's vest full of specialized tools. Focused, quiet, prone to 'talking' to machines under his breath. Has a near-instinctive grasp of Helix's electronic systems that even its creators find disturbing.

CLASSIFIED SECRET

Can hear the "voice" of the facility's AI, which occasionally gives him forbidden information.
