It is spring in my corner of the universe, a season I always associate with babies – baby plants, baby animals, babies of all kinds. There is a robin nest outside my window and I’m hoping I’ll see some babies soon.
Cyborgs become as excited about babies.
Before Rage met Joan in Releasing Rage, cyborgs didn’t think they could reproduce on their own. They were manufactured in massive vats by the Humanoid Alliance scientists. The breeding programs were unsuccessful.
Rage and Joan proved baby cyborgs WERE possible between a warrior and the being (or, in rare cases, beings) he is genetically compatible with.
Babies are still rare, however. Very few (as a percentage of all cyborgs) warriors have found their compatible beings and reproduction once they find him/her happens sporadically.
This is likely a good thing. Cyborgs and their genetic matches have the ability to live forever. They also don’t age, which means they can potentially make babies for the same duration – for all eternity.
Quick reproduction would result in the universe being overrun with cyborgs. I’d be okay with that but other beings might object.
Cyborg couples (or more) can take their time, get to know each other, practice breeding (grins) before expanding their families. Every offspring is cherished, treasured and protected by all the warriors… (looks at Choice) whether they want that often excessive safeguarding or not.

Containing Malice
This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.
***
Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.
His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.
He wants her. He also seeks retribution.
Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.
Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.
The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.
Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.
