Last week, I shared the first scene of the first chapter from The Cyborg’s Secret Baby. You can read that scene here: http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=6554
Today, I’m sharing the second scene.
He slowed his speed as he left the area, venturing into the unknown. His sensors detected humanoids before him. He rushed from large piece of debris to large piece of debris, passed a group of males and females. They had guns in their hands and were peering toward the front line, their faces solemn, gray dust dulling their dark blue hair.
None of the beings saw him. They were humanoid, had humanoid senses, couldn’t detect his presence.
He crisscrossed the area, noting tripwires, buried explosives, transmitting everything he saw, heard, sensed to all of the cyborgs on Ahki. The Rebels had dug trenches. That wouldn’t slow the advance much. Some of the domiciles were rigged to collapse. Unless there were beings hiding in them, his brethren would avoid them.
Humanoids occupied a large structure at the edge of the proposed advancement, their lifeforms appearing on his scans. Two Rebel males with guns stood outside the front doors.
Stealth, being a cyborg, didn’t need to enter the structure to hear what was being said. After circling the perimeter, he returned to a section of wall that hadn’t been cleared of vegetation. He dashed into the blue-tinged greenery, pressed his back against the stone, and listened.
The beings discussed the ideal battle tactics to use against him and his brethren. None of the proposals would alter anything. The Rebels lacked the skills the cyborgs had honed over thousands of solar cycles of fighting.
“Changing our tactics will achieve very little.” An unseen male agreed with him, his accent identifying him as a local. “The Humanoid Alliance have cyborgs and outnumber us. They will advance.”
A number of beings protested, argued that wouldn’t happen.
“The goal isn’t to stop the advance.” The female communicating that sounded unconcerned about their imminent failure. “It’s to slow them and minimize casualties.”
“That will only delay our defeat.” The first male retorted.
There was another flurry of debate.
“The Geminorum Giants have joined the war.” The female must be their superior officer. The others stopped talking when she spoke. “Their fleet will arrive in four planet rotations. We’ll then outnumber the Humanoid Alliance one hundred to one. Our goal is to stay alive until then.”
One hundred to one. Fraggin’ hole. Stealth’s reaction was repeated through the transmission lines. That exceeded Boom’s kill rate and he was their best warrior.
Unless they received reinforcements, the Humanoid Alliance would lose the fight for Ahki. He and all of his brethren would die. That was 99.9989 percent certain.
Dying in battle didn’t scare him. He’d always assumed he’d end his lifespan with weapons in his hands. No warrior lived forever.
But their deaths would place Zebrina in peril also. He couldn’t allow his female to be harmed.
Having heard enough to make a decision, he retreated to his terrain. The space remained clear. He hunkered down beside the dilapidated domicile and prepared to contact his female.
Shortly after she arrived, she had forgotten one of her private viewscreens in the cyborg holding structure. He’d incorporated the data on the device into his processors, strengthened her security, created a transmission line no other human could access.
That allowed them to communicate whenever they wanted, without fear of discovery.
He looked around him. A yellow flower bloomed between the cracked stone, its petals delicate and fragile, its leaves covered with a thin layer of dust.
Keeping his gaze on that rare bit of beauty on the war-torn planet, he opened the transmission line. His female was drawn to vegetation, would see that same view through his eyes.
Are you alone? He always asked that question, reminding her that beings could be listening to them.
There was a pause. Was his female near a device?
Her beautiful face appeared in his processors. There was an earpiece in her left ear. I am now. Her simulated voice hardened his cock.
She inputted coded text into her devices. His system converted that text to speech. That ensured she wasn’t overheard.
I miss you. Her words echoed his thoughts.
I’m leaving the battlefield soon, should arrive at the base before the sun sets. The trek took a long duration and they had to move at the human officer’s speed.
Zebrina beamed at him, the impact hitting him like a missile to his stomach. I’ll meet you in the storage chamber.
They often had encounters in that small space, touching furtively in the dark, giving each other the most sublime pleasure, reinforcing their connection through physical contact.
After breeding, she would smell of him, his lifespan extending nanocybotics relayed through his kisses, his essence. Her musk would cling to his skin.
He wanted that, craved that, but her safety was his primary mission. You must arrange transport off Ahki.
