Biomata are artificial bio-cybernetic bodies used by Runners as temporary housing for their disembodied consciousnesses. They are 3D printed by Sekiguchi Genetics through a combination of biological and technological means, granting the Runner enhanced abilities beyond that of a standard human, including cyberintrusion measures.
