Mercury Minor is, first and foremost, Ghost and Lethe’s home. They ‘rule’ the planet. They brought it back from the dead, cleaned it up, made it inhabitable.
Ghost requires space. He requires quiet and he requires terrain he can protect, a place where he can feel safe. A section of the planet will always belong exclusively to him and to Lethe.
Some newly rescued warriors also require quiet, less populated places, places inhabited by only cyborgs and no other species. There will be a few severely damaged warriors who never become accustomed to sharing spaces with other species.
There is land set aside for them on Mercury Minor.
Most cyborgs, however, like having beings around them. They were manufactured in huge batches. They trained all together. They were stored together, fought together. Now that they are freed, they often want to stay together. They don’t mind crowded sites. Those can be comforting for them.
The largest communities on Mercury Minor are allocated to these cyborgs.
Cyborgs who have found their genetic matches often want to have their own semi-private spaces and their own communities. Their genetic matches have unique needs, especially around socialization, and they feel more comfortable being around beings like them, beings who are going through similar experiences.
There are some smaller communities on Mercury Minor reserved for these small and growing families. Often, the not-yet-matched non-cyborg beings are situated in these communities too.
As Mercury Minor evolves, the communities will, of course, change. But right now, this set up works for the Rebel Cyborgs and their genetic matches.

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.
