In Provoking Odium, the beings on Mercury Minor have a dance ‘battle’. Some of the cyborg warriors are determined to ‘win’ this contest.
There are a number of reasons for this.
The Humanoid Alliance allowed only the best cyborg warriors to live. They decommissioned any warriors they believed were below spec. It was in a cyborg’s best interest to outfight everyone else.
On the battlefield, cyborgs had to outfight their designated foes or they (and likely their friends) would die. Again, they had to be the best or they risked death.
Now that they’re free, the cyborgs remained acutely aware that the enemy could try to retrieve or kill them. They have to remain the best warriors or they might lose their freedom.
And they feel their genetic matches, if they’re fortunate to find them, deserve to be protected by the best warriors possible. A skill like dancing might also impress their fated mates. (grins)
