One of the (many) things I love about cyborgs is…they and their genetic matches can possibly live forever. And because they have the potential to live forever, they take a long view on pretty much everything, including relationships.
Yes, they are normally eager to breed with their genetic matches. Their nanocybotics are relayed during breeding to their fragile humans and humanoids, protecting those beings and granting them the potential to live forever also. Plus the desire they have for their matches is powerful.
But they can progress as slowly in these relationships as their genetic matches require emotionally. They can gradually build trust. They can ‘save’ activities for the future.
Cyborgs also take the long view in many other areas. It took Ghost and Lethe many solar cycles to clean up Mercury Minor, for example, after the planet had been ravaged by the Humanoid Alliance. When structures were built and systems were put in place, they were done so with the processing they’d be on the planet forever.
Living forever changes a being’s private goals also. Many humans (including myself) think about how we want to make our mark on the universe, on the legacy we’ll leave when we’re no longer here.
Cyborgs don’t plan to go anywhere. They don’t need to leave a legacy. They ARE a legacy.
It is an interesting way to look at life.

Seizing Power
This cyborg believes he’s in control.
Power is the self-appointed leader of the cyborg council. Other members might debate situations. He makes the ultimate decisions.
When a threat to Homeland is revealed, he takes command of a fleet and ventures to the edge of cyborg-controlled space to investigate. He finds a rebellion led by a mysterious upstart he calls Cadet.
The plan Power derives is simple—he’ll quickly quash the uprising and teach its leader a lesson the warrior will never forget.
NO ONE challenges his authority.
Eirene Ours might be called a cadet by Power but she is NOT his subordinate. She is the arrogant E Model’s genetic match.
For much of her mature lifespan, she has desired the male, yearning for his dark-eyed gaze, craving his sure hands, longing for his respect.
That esteem was never granted. And Eirene Ours can no longer wait to earn it. There’s an external threat to their kind, a danger that might destroy them all.
Having lured Power to her home terrain, she now plans to use everything within her means — her fists, her daggers, her ship-destroying missiles — to pound that truth into her stubborn warrior’s thick metal skull.
The future of every cyborg is at stake. She can’t fail them.
Power will believe her. Or he will die.
