Biography
Galatea was actually the product of research made by Dr. Katsuhito Stingray who was conducting experiments in artificial life. Part of the program led to the creation of a core implant known as the "anti-seed" that were placed in a variety of test subjects hypothalamus but these all rejected the foreign body. A matching subject was discovered to be Dr. Stingray's own daughter, Sylvia Stingray who was a child at the time. Within Sylvia, the anti-seed was cultivated until finally Dr. Stingray harvested it the resultant cell growth whereupon he placed it within a humanoid frame that resembled his own daughter. He named her Sotai and through her did Galatea become a part of the world. Following her creation, a second similar creation was created who Dr. Stingray created as his teenage 'son' who he named Macky Stingray though Sotai continued to be unique in her thinking. Through Galatea, the scientists involved in the research program replicated her creation to create Boomers though ensured that they were devoid of thought processes. The creation of Boomers led to them being used for menial and labor duties with the only holding a small spark of Galatea's life force. As Boomers were introduced to human society, the still developing Galatea observed the Earth through their eyes. She would see herself as the only member of her kind and did not wish to remain so leading to her going rogue. Her powers were used to cause the technology within the facility to go on a rampage and kill numerous scientists. It was only through Dr. Stingray did she stop but only because she felt that she had not reached the maturity needed to disobey her creator. Whilst she remained in the laboratory, an artificial earthquake device was activated to prevent Galatea from escaping leading to her being trapped underground. For the next six and a half years, she would remain within her containment chamber and stayed in state of hibernation.

Her conclusion was that mankind did not desire servants but rather a master to control them an believed that she herself was fit for the role. She believed that her existence was the future potential of humanity.
