SciFi Saturday News – Women In Space, Star Trek Tractor Beams, And Has Luke SkyWalker Gone Bad
Here is the round up of the SciFi stories that inspired me this week
Luke Skywalker Rumors
The latest Star Wars buzz is about Luke Skywalker. We know he is in the movie. Why isn’t he in the trailer?
“Force Awakens director JJ Abrams has also said that Luke’s absence from the trailers is “no accident”. Asked why he does not appear in them, Abrams added: “I can’t wait for you to find out the answer.””
Launching Rockets In The Congo
Is your hero or heroine visiting a less technologically advanced culture? I found the locals’ reaction to Congo’s Jean-Patrice Keka fascinating.
“Of the five rockets he has trucked to their launchpads, the first, Troposphere I, got rain in its fuel compartment and didn’t ignite. Journalists on-site, he says, accused him of trying to fire a rocket without permission from the ancestors who lord over daily life in Congolese religion.
“I told them, ‘no, no, no. There is no story of ancestors here,’ ” he says. “ ‘This is science.’ ””
Space Exploration Equality
Russia is preparing its first all female crew for a trip to the moon.
“To make up for lost time, the country is now embarking on a new experiment. Yesterday (Oct. 28), six Russian women locked themselves in a suite at Moscow’s Institute of Biomedical Problems at the Russian Academy of Sciences for the start of an eight-day experiment simulating the conditions of a space mission.
The point? To test women’s aptitude for space flight and to prepare for a potential all-female journey to the moon in 2029.
“We consider the future of space belongs equally to men and women and unfortunately we need to catch up a bit after a period when unfortunately there haven’t been too many women in space,” explained project director Sergei Ponomarev in a press conference.”
Some of the reaction has, unfortunately, been appalling.
Bacteria On The International Space Station
The coverage of bacteria on the International Space Station has given me many plot bunnies about mutations and heroine/hero-threatening diseases.
“While the opportunistic bacterial pathogens are mostly innocuous on Earth, they are thriving in the station that has turned out to be a prime breeding ground.
It seems the bugs like their new home in the unique environment that has experienced microgravity, space radiation, elevated carbon dioxide and continuous occupation by humans for nearly 15 years.”
Gorgeous Space Photos
Here is a link to some gorgeous space photos. One is sure to inspire you. – http://www.wired.com/2015/10/space-photos-of-the-week-oct-18-24/#slide-1
The photo pictured is of the galaxy cluster MS 0735.6+7421 with a black hole at the center of the cluster.
Star Trek Tractor Beams
The tractor beams in Star Trek have become reality.
“Researchers in England have created, essentially, a tractor beam that uses highly targeted sound waves to move objects in the air as though pulled and pushed by invisible fingers.”
What has inspired you this week?

Half Man. Half Machine. All Hers.
Rage, the Humanoid Alliance’s most primitive cyborg, has two goals—kill all of the humans on his battle station and escape to the Homeland. The warrior has seen the darkness in others and in himself. He believes that’s all he’s been programmed to experience.
Until he meets Joan.
Joan, the battle station’s first female engineer, has one goal—survive long enough to help the big sexy cyborg plotting to kill her. Rage might not trust her but he wants her. She sees the passion in his eyes, the caring in his battle-worn hands, the gruff emotion in his voice.
When Joan survives the unthinkable, Rage’s priorities are tested. Is there enough room in this cyborg’s heart for both love and revenge?

Why Breathing Vapor’s Heroine is Named Mira Breazeal
Names of characters are really important. I put quite a bit of thought into each of them. Mira Breazeal, the name of the heroine in Breathing Vapor, is no exception.
Mira (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mira ) is a nod to a 6 billion year old red giant star positioned about 200–400 light years away from Earth in the constellation Cetus. Mira is a binary star, consisting of Mira A and Mira B, which is appropriate for a cyborg’s heroine. She’ll be paired with her warrior forever.
Mira also means ‘wonderful’ or ‘astonishing’ in Latin. Johannes Hevelius gave the star this name in 1662 because he thought it acted like no other known star. Mira, our heroine, acts like no other being Vapor has ever met.
Breazeal is a nod to Cynthia Breazeal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynthia_Breazeal ), the director of the Personal Robots Group at the MIT Media Laboratory. Cynthia Breazeal is known as a pioneer of social robotics and human–robot interaction. She’s co-developed several robots and is one of the top innovators in the field.
Vapor’s name was easier to choose. He is the most advanced cyborg ever developed. No lock can contain him. He’s like vapor, like mist, going wherever he wants.

Vapor is the most advanced cyborg the Humanoid Alliance has ever developed. He’s a finely honed weapon, a warrior without parallel, half man and half machine. No lock can contain him. No being can stop him. Whatever he wants, he takes.
He wants Mira Breazeal, the Designer’s daughter.
She’s his one temptation, his sexy target. Vapor shouldn’t crave her caresses, steal her kisses, make her scream with ecstasy. The cyborgs want her dead and they would question his loyalty if he didn’t kill her. The humans would shoot him on sight if he dared to touch her.
Their love is forbidden. Their desire could be lethal. One human and one cyborg will risk everything for a moment of passion.

Why I’m Writing Cyborgs Now
I’m at Debra Jess’s online home today, talking about why I’m writing cyborgs now, after loving this hero for years.
http://debrajess.com/2015/10/starlight-presents-cynthia-sax/
Here’s a snippet…
Releasing Rage is the result. It is a book of my heart, one of those special stories writers are gifted with from time to time. I had been seriously thinking about cyborgs for five years, completing research out of personal interest, crafting stories in my head. All of this, combined with some perturbing recent events (like #GamerGate and a female-disrespecting Nobel Prize winner), was poured into Releasing Rage.

Why I Love Boss-Assistant Romances
In The Good Assistant, Trella, the heroine, is the assistant to her hunky billionaire boss, John Powers.
In most organizations I’ve worked for, assistant to the CEO is the second most powerful position in the company. In one of the world’s largest beverage companies, the assistant position is a training role for future executives. Ambitious employees, both male and female, will do almost anything to land that position.
Why? Because this person sees and hears everything the CEO does. Everyone the CEO meets, the assistant meets. Often CEOs will discuss confidential decisions with their assistants because they know they can trust these assistants to say nothing. As we see in The Good Assistant, assistants supply their executives with information. Which information assistants select will influence the outcome of decisions.
There’s (usually) mutual respect and admiration. Yes, the boss is still the boss but the assistant was hand chosen because she/he has potential to be the boss, to be his/her business equal.
Boss-assistant romances are similar to a friends to lovers situation. There’s a healthy non-sexual relationship that neither person wants to destroy. They sincerely like each other.
It is natural that feelings would grow, especially since self-made billionaire bosses spend most of their time at work. These bosses work long hours, usually seven days a week. They’re as passionate about their businesses as writers are about writing and readers are about reading. They find joy in business building.
No one understands this better than his or her assistant. Assistants often work the same hours. If their bosses are working on a Saturday, they’re working on a Saturday. They do this because it is expected but also because they often have the same passion for the business. They don’t need hobbies. Work is their fun.
Acting on this attraction is a big risk, one neither person would take lightly. They might destroy their relationship. The boss is making himself/herself vulnerable to a lawsuit (this is why many companies have anti-fraternization rules). The assistant might lose her/his professional reputation (The business community is small. People talk.) A wise person would only take this step if the relationship was serious, a forever type of relationship.
This is why I love boss-assistant romances.

My boss, John Powers, represents everything I want in a man. He’s the CEO and founder of a powerful company, that position having made him a billionaire, striking in an I-survived-a-bar-brawl sort of way, and too clever for my sanity.
I’m his assistant and desperately in love with him. I’d willingly serve him both in the boardroom and in the bedroom.
There’s one problem.
He doesn’t mix business with pleasure.
Ever.

First Excerpt For Breathing Vapor
Breathing Vapor, the standalone sidequel to Releasing Rage, is releasing on November 17th (you can pre-order it now). Here is the first scene from the first chapter.
Honesty was part of the cyborg code. Vapor and his cyborg brethren were unable to tell a lie. They also believed in freedom and honor and seeking vengeance on those who harmed them. They’d been manufactured with these traits.
That didn’t mean they didn’t have differences of opinion.
Vapor leaned against an interior wall of the final stage holding structure and watched Ace and Thrasher argue. His friends, one driven primarily by logic, the other primarily by instinct, faced each other, standing closer than two males would normally stand.
They were surrounded by K model cyborgs. Half of them supported Ace. Half of them supported Thrasher.
Vapor stayed out of the discussion. He’d known the two males his entire lifespan. They liked to disagree, didn’t appreciate any interference in their spats, had levels to their conversations that he didn’t understand.
Talking was their forte. Killing beings was his. He spun his favorite daggers.
We should escape now when the humans don’t expect it, Thrasher shouted through their private transmission lines. His group of cyborgs cheered.
The humans had given them the ability to communicate without making a sound. The foolish beings hadn’t devised a means of monitoring the cyborgs’ transmissions.
They didn’t believe there was a need. Cyborgs, in their opinions, were processor-free weapons of war, command-driven machines, devoid of motivation, of independent logic.
They’d never witnessed a confrontation between Ace and Thrasher.
And how would we escape, genius? Ace’s tone was level, less emotional. We don’t have a ship.
We’ll steal one. Thrasher was undaunted.
From where and from whom? Ace shook his head. That plan has too many variables. I say we keep it simple and wait for deployment. In four or five planet rotations, the Humanoid Alliance will deliver a ship to us.
We’ll use their own ship against them. Strive, one of Thrasher’s supporters, nodded, approving of that idea.
The rumblings from both sides indicated a win for logic.
Is that all of the vengeance we’ll have against our foes? Thrasher held out his arms, appealing to the group. They torment us, kill our brethren, and we retaliate by stealing one of their ships?
We’ll kill every being on board. Ace might be more logical but he had a cyborg’s thirst for violence. Slowly, painfully.
And what will happen to the beings here? In this compound? His opponent turned, surveying the chambers. Except for the model numbers inked under their right eyes, they looked like the enemy, their skin tanned rather than the cyborg gray, their physiques large yet in the range of human possibility, their eyes appearing human. Are the humans who tortured us to suffer no losses? I say we return here and kill them all.
The cyborgs cheered. They had suffered at the hands of the humans, had been humiliated physically and mentally, part of the so-called training to toughen them for battle, and they wanted revenge.
Ace’s lips flattened. By all, are you referring to every being on the planet? Because we can conceal the deaths on the ship. Ships disappear every planet rotation. But we won’t be able to hide the killings within the compound. The humans will realize we’re not under their control, and they’ll strike back at us. They’ll target not only us…he waved at the cyborgs around them…but the millions of cyborgs stored on battle stations and planets throughout the universe. None of us will escape. None of us will reach the Homeland. We’ll all die.
There was silence. No one wanted to put other batches of cyborgs in danger. And reaching the Homeland, a planet where cyborgs ruled, was their shared goal.
When freed, Vapor would continue to fight. He was designed for battle, enjoyed the thrill of it. But he could decide whom he killed.
Until then, he and his brethren would be forced to hone their skills on beings the Humanoid Alliance had sentenced to death. They had no input on choosing their opponents and refusing to fight resulted in immediate decommissioning, the most painful of deaths.
Vapor could tolerate ending the lives of the violent criminals. They had some skills, though not enough to challenge him. He was the most advanced warrior ever designed. But they had killed others in the past. And a bloody death for a bloody lifespan was fitting. He’d wish to die the same way, with his weapons in both of his hands.
He doubted the chubby-cheeked, innocent-eyed kid he’d killed last planet rotation yearned for such an end. When he faced Vapor, the youngster had dropped to his knees in the urine-soaked dirt and pleaded for his life.
Vapor hadn’t had the option of granting him that wish. He’d made the death as fast and as painless as possible, but it had left a bad taste in his mouth. He was a warrior, not an executioner.
Some humans here must die, Thrasher insisted. We can’t allow them all to go unpunished.
The other cyborgs nodded.
The humans will seek revenge. Ace’s reply was weak. He wanted vengeance also.
Another stretch of silence followed.
Fraggin’ hole. The solution was obvious. Couldn’t they see that?
Vapor pushed himself away from the wall, reluctantly joining the discussion. They’ll seek revenge if we’re caught, if the kill is traced back to us. Heads turned, the cyborgs looking to him for leadership. It won’t be. His blades turned faster and faster, blurring in his hands. Because I’ll make the deaths look like accidents.
There won’t be multiple deaths. We’ll have one kill only. Ace didn’t question his ability. The cyborg knew Vapor could carry off an assassination and not be caught. We make a strategic kill, taking out one of the humans and that’s it.
Vapor straightened to his full height. Assign me a target and he’ll die.

SciFi Saturday News – Star Wars Breaking Records, Aging In Space, And The Destruction Of A Planet
Here is the round up of the SciFi stories that inspired me this week
Trailer For Star Wars: The Force Awakens Breaks Viewing Records
“That tremor in the Force is the Richter-level fan response to the latest trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens. According to StarWars.com, the new trailer was viewed 128 million times in a single day, combining 112 million online plays with the approximate 16 million viewers who tuned into its debut on Monday Night Football.”
It was also the biggest-ever 24 hours for advance sales in numerous countries.
Get your tickets now if you want to see it opening weekend.
Scott Kelly And Aging In Space
“Congratulations to NASA astronaut Scott Kelly, who has now been in space longer than any other US astronaut before him. Having most recently launched into orbit on 27 March this year, Kelly’s record currently stands at 388 days and counting. He still has some way to go to beat the all-time record though – that’s the 879-day shift put in by long-serving Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka.”
Of course, NASA is using this to examine the impact of long stays in space on astronauts, but, what I find especially interesting is, they’re also studying the impact of aging in space. Kelly has a twin brother whom they can use for direct comparison.
Destruction Of A Planet
A star at the end of its life is currently destroying and disintegrating an orbiting planet.
Andrew Vanderburg, a graduate student at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, shares
This is something no human has seen before. We’re watching a solar system get destroyed.”
“What we’re seeing are fragments of a disintegrating planet that is being vaporized by [the white dwarf’s] starlight and is losing mass. The vapor is getting lost into orbit, and that condenses into dust which then blocks the starlight.”
Huge Asteroid (Nicknamed Spooky) To Pass Earth On Halloween
“The massive asteroid 2015 TB145 will come within 310,000 miles (500,000 kilometers) of the planet — or about 1.3 times the distance from Earth to the moon — on the afternoon of Oct. 31, just three weeks after the space rock was discovered, according to NASA. There’s no threat of an impact on this pass, NASA officials said.”
The Expanse
There’s a new upcoming space themed TV show called The Expanse, which will appear on the SyFy channel. It’s based on the James S.A. Corey books and is creating quite a bit of buzz. Some early viewers are calling it the next Battlestar.

Half Man. Half Machine. All Hers.
Rage, the Humanoid Alliance’s most primitive cyborg, has two goals—kill all of the humans on his battle station and escape to the Homeland. The warrior has seen the darkness in others and in himself. He believes that’s all he’s been programmed to experience.
Until he meets Joan.
Joan, the battle station’s first female engineer, has one goal—survive long enough to help the big sexy cyborg plotting to kill her. Rage might not trust her but he wants her. She sees the passion in his eyes, the caring in his battle-worn hands, the gruff emotion in his voice.
When Joan survives the unthinkable, Rage’s priorities are tested. Is there enough room in this cyborg’s heart for both love and revenge?

Is Releasing Rage BDSM?
Releasing Rage does have some BDSM elements. Joan and Rage form a submissive-dominant relationship. Joan submits (when it pleases her) to Rage. When they first meet, she kneels before him. As his engineer (or handler, as Rage calls her), it is her responsibility to care for him, to serve him.
Joan calls Rage ‘sir’, as many subs call their doms. However, she uses this term because they live on a military battle station. Higher ranking officers in the military are often called ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am’. Rage is much older than Joan is (cyborgs have a very long lifespan). He has more experience and is seen as more valuable. She would call him ‘sir.’
Their relationship doesn’t have the physical pain element that many readers enjoy in BDSM stories. Rage has suffered so much pain in his life. He would never afflict it on a female he cared for. However, pain isn’t a necessary part of a BDSM relationship.
Safewords, however, ARE a necessary part of a healthy BDSM relationship. Talking about limits, about rules, is also key. These are so important that I feel any story that doesn’t contain these elements shouldn’t be viewed as being representative of the subgenre and the community. I would be devastated if any reader picked up Releasing Rage and used it to craft her own BDSM relationship.
As cyborgs are warriors, rough, tough males more accustomed to violence than kindness, I suspect many of my future stories in this series will have BDSM elements. In Breathing Vapor, there are some spanking scenes (as pain allows Mira, the heroine, to express her emotions). In Crash and Burn, Crash likes to restrain his reckless heroine.
But these relationships will be unique to the characters and not representative of the present day BDSM community or a healthy present day BDSM relationship.

Some Tidbits About Breathing Vapor
I’ve been interviewed at Sizzling Romance!
http://sizzling-romance.net/2015/10/22/author-interview-with-cynthia-sax/
Here’s a snippet…
So, Cynthia Sax, now that you have written Releasing Rage what is next on your list?
Cynthia Sax: Breathing Vapor, the follow up story to Releasing Rage, will be releasing in November. This is a sidequel, which is a new term for me. (grins) It means Breathing Vapor happens at the same time as Releasing Rage. Vapor is one of the K Model cyborgs slated to replace Rage and his brethren.
There will be more darkness, more twists, more baby cyborgs. There will also be one feisty, curvaceous heroine who just might be the best liar in the universe. Since cyborgs can’t tell lies, this skill of Mira’s drives Vapor a little bit crazy.

Can A Cyborg Rationalize Love?
Can a cyborg’s machine side rationalize love?
I’m talking about cyborgs at Christie Meierz ‘s online home.
http://christiemeierz.com/2015/10/cynthia-sax-talks-cyborgs/
Here’s a snippet…
Cyborgs are constantly conflicted between their machine side and their human side, between logic and emotion, between following commands and exploring their independence, between programming and free will.
At no time is this conflict more pronounced than when cyborgs fall in love. There is little logic behind love. Will their human sides be strong enough to overcome their machine sides, allowing them to choose love?

Loving At The Edge Of Death

(I’d definitely eat more Nutella)
I’m talking about loving at the edge of death at Jessica E Subject ‘s online home today.
http://www.markofthestars.com/wp/releasing-rage-cynthia-sax/
Here’s a snippet…
The interesting thing about facing (what she believes to be) certain death is there’s no longer any point being afraid. The worst thing that could happen to a being WILL happen to her. Joan thinks she’s going to die. She’s not afraid of having her heart broken.
