BioMetal Origins.

Taking into account what the BioMetal is within the ZX series, the question is "How did it come to be?". Well, it spans much further prior than the Ragnarok incident. This being speculation, so don't forget that during the read. And is the Basis for BioMetal.

Centuries ago (between 2 and 300 years), the man named Weil, was a scientist within Reploid technology. having been prone to sinister acts, and crimes against humanity (possibly Reploid), and was sentenced to eternity of banishment. Without being consulted by X, Weil was subdued and was taken to an isolated arena where his mind and consciousness was pooled into a robotic type body. The only one known to exist. This being of a subjected material highly primitive but may have been a milestone for further thresholds. But this technology accepting his mind and consciousness, and capable of responding to his mentality as if it here his body (wounds heal faster since the flesh is synthetic).

Once the process was completed, Weil was finally banished into the outskirts of the land, to suffer eternity of nothingness... And never being questioned about surviving. That technology was left underdeveloped at that time (that we know of till centuries post), and no one knows of what happened to his human body (frozen Beef Theory initiation?).

However, Weil survived, spending all his years pondering what he will do, what he could use to manifest his plans, etc. And once he managed to return to life areas, began work for revenge against those who damned him to such a life.

This led to the 8 Judges, and Ragnarok. However, Omega's shuttle may have been influenced by Weil to crash back to Earth... However, utilizing the specs of his body, the technology he pondered and the technology currently present, ultimately led to the conception of Ragnarok, and the Core, Laevatein. Which obviously was compatible with Weil's body. In the way that it can manifest over Weil in a form of suit. And part of of Weil in the form of the Final Weil encounter.

Once Weil was fused with Laevatein, in that sense, the entire station connected to Laevatein was altered just the same. It all was processing in and from Weil. The station became Weil. That Union is the first representation of consciousness merging with machinery, the first Basis for BioMetal. And upon his defeat, the station crashed into the Atmosphere and exploded. Raining debris all over the world. Fragmenting the soon-to-be BioMetal into Cores.

With that said, every part of Laevatein was still active, just needing awareness. This was granted through the suffering and anguish of many people/reploids. And absorption of Cyber Elfs.

During such, Ceil managed to locate Zero and the others, after giving up hope of looking around Earth, and started searching the Cyber Network. Upon locating them, Ceil shed her tears, but vowed to bring them back. And after discovering Model W and being part of the Research group investigating it, she learned enough of the Laevatein fusion/Weil remains in order to either reproduce that material, or utilized parts of it. To which later became the Ceil 6. After the consciousness of the 6 were integrated within the material. BioMetal was thus being born.

Albert took his approach from creating the Model W fragment, and utilized that knowledge to create Model A. Being the 7th known BioMetal...

But this raises the possibility that Prairie may have been interested in following her "Sis's" footsteps. Suggesting that she may get involved with BioMetal research. Flueve doesn't help this since he was the one to analyze the date from the Ceil 6... So that leads to at least 1 possibility for a sequel setting.

Completely excluding Model O, the 'Naturally occurring' BioStone. To which I will cover later.

PS: This can also lead to the development of synthetic biomechanical technology present within the ZX series that only gets enhanced and more refined within the Millennial gap between ZX and Legends. The eventual birth of the Carbons... But that is another topic for another time.
