There are many medics in my stories and there are reasons for that.
It takes a special type of personality to dedicate one’s lifespan to helping and saving others. Most beings in the medical field are heroes and heroines whether they appear in stories or not.
Cyborgs are also warriors and warriors become wounded or damaged as the cyborgs call it. They require beings who can put their big bodies back together. A medic would be a necessary role on any team. They are, speaking in today’s pandemic terms, essential workers.
In the Rebel Cyborgs series, we meet three medics in Containing Malice, the first story alone.
The heroine, Illona, is a human medic forced to perform horrific experiments on Malice, the cyborg hero. She became a medic to heal others. Instead, she has to hurt them.
Medic Febris, Illona’s friend in the Humanoid Alliance laboratory, is in a similar situation. She is assigned to the terrifying resurrection experiment.
Both Febris and Illona are being experimented on themselves and, being medics, they know what is happening to their bodies and what their fates might be.
The cyborgs have their own versions of medics. We meet Patch, the cyborg retrieval team’s medic, in Containing Malice. He is savvy with repairing cyborgs. The J Model has less experience with healing humans and humanoids and he is willing and eager to learn from Illona.
I’m working on the second draft of Baring Grudge, the third story in the Rebel Cyborgs series, this week and there is a medic minor character in that story also.
Today, I am thinking of all the humans, humanoids and cyborgs (grins), real or literary, in the medical field. (big hugs) I’m grateful for your service.

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.
