While the cyborgs were under Humanoid Alliance control, they were reprimanded harshly for any sort of wrongdoing, real or imagined. They were often deemed to be malfunctioning and suffered the most painful death possible, being sliced apart while conscious, salvaged for parts while feeling everything.
The Humanoid Alliance also tortured the cyborgs in all the ways a warrior could be tortured.
No cyborg would voluntarily do that to one of their brethren.
Which pushes cyborg leaders to be creative when reprimanding warriors.
Power punished Death and his female in Defying Death by restricting them to the Homeland. Taking away the freedom they fought so hard to obtain is quite severe.
Cadet punishes Strain in Under Strain by stripping him of his weapons and forcing him to watch upcoming battles, not participate in them. This is a very effective reprimand because most cyborgs, including Strain, LOVE to fight. They love their weapons. They’ll regret not having that fun with their brethren.
Strain, however, discovers another kind of fun…with his female. (grins)

Under Strain
A damaged cyborg warrior is hunted by a peace-loving human female.
***
Strain is severely malfunctioning. The D Model cyborg was the sole survivor after a horrific decision was made by his cruel manufacturers. He hates all humans, and when he attacks one who is under his cyborg leader’s protection, he is reprimanded, stripped of his weapons, and told to watch and not actively participate in the next mission.
That mission takes place on a small remote planet. Its lush terrain should only be inhabited by the cyborgs they were sent to rescue, but Strain senses another presence on the surface. She is watching him, tracking him, hunting him.
A fully operational cyborg would end her lifespan.
Strain wants to claim her. Forever.
Kamyelle is the only one left of her kind. Warriors have killed the other nonviolent human inhabitants of her planet. She survived…barely…by hiding in the trees, observing her enemies, and covering herself with lifeform scan-concealing mud.
When a handsome, gray-skinned, brilliant-blue-eyed male arrives, surrounded by weapon-carrying warriors, she has to save him. Warriors harm and they kill. That is what they do.
She won’t allow them to hurt Strain.

Under Strain is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a broken warrior, a human female who thinks he’s perfect, and velociraptor-like dinosaurs who view them both as light, tasty snacks.
