The Ides Of March

By on March 15, 2022

March 15th (today!) corresponds to the Ides of March in the Roman calendar. Ides were originally the dates of the full moons.


The Feast of Anna Perenna was celebrated on the Ides of March. Anna Perenna was the Roman goddess protecting the year. Romans made sacrifices to her, trying to ensure their year was favorable. (And yes, I’m thinking we might need her assistance this year. – grins – We need all the help we can get.)

The Ides of March, however, is most well-known (thanks to William Shakespeare) as being the day Julius Caesar was assassinated. He was told by a seer (a haruspex named Spurinna) to “Beware the Ides of March.” And that prediction came true. He was stabbed to death during a meeting of the Senate.

Seizing Power

This cyborg believes he’s in control.

Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council. Other members might debate situations. He makes the ultimate decisions.

When a threat to Homeland is revealed, he takes command of a fleet and ventures to the edge of cyborg-controlled space to investigate. He finds a rebellion led by a mysterious upstart he calls Cadet.

The plan Power derives is simple—he’ll quickly quash the uprising and teach its leader a lesson the warrior will never forget.

NO ONE challenges his authority.

Eirene Ours might be called a cadet by Power but she is NOT his subordinate. She is the arrogant E Model’s genetic match.

For much of her mature lifespan, she has desired the male, yearning for his dark-eyed gaze, craving his sure hands, longing for his respect.

That esteem was never granted. And Eirene Ours can no longer wait to earn it. There’s an external threat to their kind, a danger that might destroy them all.

Having lured Power to her home terrain, she now plans to use everything within her means — her fists, her daggers, her ship-destroying missiles — to pound that truth into her stubborn warrior’s thick metal skull.

The future of every cyborg is at stake. She can’t fail them.

Power will believe her. Or he will die.
