Claiming Cure – First Scene Of The First Chapter
The countdown to Claiming Cure’s release day has started! Woot!
I will be sharing the first chapter while we wait.
Today, I’m sharing the very first scene.
***
Chapter One
Cure had been manufactured for killing.
He was a cyborg. The Humanoid Alliance, their cruel creators, had designed his kind to fight their endless wars.
Ending lifespans had been his assigned purpose.
He chose to save them, to repair beings.
Over his lifespan, that role had led him to some…unprojectable places.
He was currently situated on the bridge of a modified freighter bound for Cancri B. A not-yet-processable threat was facing every cyborg in the universe. The Humanoid Alliance, their enemies, might be involved. More information about the situation could be found on the planet.
Cure had a contact situated there.
He’d projected helping the humanoid medic would come back to bite him in the ass. His lips twisted. But he couldn’t ignore the call over communication lines. The male had begged anyone anywhere for any possible repairs for an outbreak of tumors amidst the Cancri B population.
There were no repairs that he processed for that damage. But he had given C, his contact, some suggestions to slow the growths.
Those replies had resulted in Cure being sent, by his captain, on a mission to extract intel from C. He had been forced to temporarily relinquish his role as chief medic on board the Dauntless to undertake the assignment.
Statis, his second-in-command, a being he’d trained, had been placed in charge of the functionality of the crew of the battle station. The male had been ecstatic.
As he should be. Cure’s lips flattened. The male now held a role any medic would want. He was responsible for the well-being of thousands of cyborgs plus one human female and one Valkyrie.
Cure, in contrast, held a role any hardworking medic would dread. His patient load had been reduced to two beings—Drift, his mission partner, and himself.
And both of his patients were fully functional.
Drift sat in the captain’s chair and was flying their vessel. Sensors had been attached to the G model’s face and form.
Cure glanced down at his handheld. His mission partner’s specs were within range.
Though… “Your heart rate has increased.” The variation was slight but notable.
“Fraggin’ right. It has increased.” Drift grinned. “I’ve detected another planet.”
A circle appeared around the planet displayed on the main viewscreen. It was barely detectable to Cure’s enhanced visual system.
“I’m calling this one Big Blue 2.0.” The pilot tapped his fingertips against the controls embedded in the console. “And I’m adding it to the chart.”
The area they were transversing was poorly documented. Many of the planets and stars and other celestial bodies didn’t appear in any databases.
“It is big…for a planet.” Cure studied the new discovery. “And it is blue. And the 2.0 differentiates it from Big Blue.”
“I’ve modified the name for Big Blue to Big Blue 1.0.” Drift’s eyes gleamed. “I hadn’t projected we would detect multiple big blue planets.”
“That modification is logical.” Cure noted the reason for Drift’s increased heart rate in the male’s file.
The voyage wouldn’t be a complete waste of time medic-wise. Cure’s monitoring of his mission partner would expand his intel about cyborgs in general and G Models specifically. And that could assist him in repairing them in the future.
62.2365 percent of his medic knowledge had been derived from his own experiences and tests.
While Cure had been under Humanoid Alliance control, he’d hacked into the humans’ databases. The intel he found there about repairing his brethren was limited. And some of it was wrong. But it had formed a base for the process.
Then he had added to that knowledge. During their grueling training sessions, and later, in battle, he had stealthily and speedily repaired his fellow cyborgs. Being warriors, they were constantly incurring damage, and those malfunctions put them at great risk of being decommissioned.
By repairing his brethren, he had sought to spare them from that horrid death.
51.4586 percent of the time, he had failed at doing that.
The warriors he had failed to restore to full functionality had been sliced and diced into pieces. Their parts had been salvaged by the Humanoid Alliance while they remained alive.
Their screams had shredded his big cyborg heart to pieces. Those sounds of pain, of horror, would echo forever in his databases.
He had learned to manage the emotional organic part of himself. Because his self-assigned patients were dealing with their own emotional damage. They shouldn’t have to deal with his.
And he had more cyborgs to repair. 48.5414 percent of them would survive. He couldn’t help them if he was stricken by grief. Or if he had insufficient knowledge. The readings from the sensors attached to Drift might be the difference between a cyborg living or dying.

Claiming Cure
A proud cyborg medic meets his human match.
***
Cyra has tasks to complete before she dies.
There are patients to heal, a dangerous mission to undertake, and a world to save. She doesn’t have time to entertain uninvited guests.
Especially one coldhearted cyborg medic who thinks he’s better than her.
The male might be breathtakingly handsome. His sternly set lips might be extremely kissable. And his touch might draw out a passion she didn’t think she was capable of feeling.
But he’s also a distraction, one that might doom millions of innocent beings to a painful, horrible death.
Cure isn’t emotionless. He feels…greatly. Listening to that malfunction has caused other beings pain and suffering in the past.
He refuses to allow his desires to cloud his judgment now.
His resolve is tested when he’s forced to associate with the most provoking, alluring medic in the universe.
Cyra is his genetic match, the one being in the universe he is fated to protect, touch, claim. She’s clever and beautiful, and the need to hold her almost downs his systems.
But now is not the time to indulge his great wanting.
Cure has an assignment to complete.
If he fails to accomplish his goals, everyone he cares for, including his human female, will die.

Big stretch. (grins) I love this stock photo. Cats and big stretches make me happy.
Claiming Cure, the third core story in the Dauntless Cyborgs series, has been loaded to booksellers! Woot! It should be ready to go for release day. (knock on wood)
I continue to craft the first draft of Grid Locked, the fourth core story in the Dauntless Cyborgs series (releasing in March). It is going slowly but I have some huge things finally figured out and that is progress! (smiles)
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Roll your shoulders down and back if you can. Stretch a bit. Loosen up those tight muscles, especially the ones stretching across your shoulders. Hopefully that will feel good.
Because I WANT you to feel good. As good as you can feel. (more hugs)

My Awesome Mom And An Electric Toothbrush
While chatting with my Awesome Mom on the phone a few days ago, I asked her what she wanted for Christmas this year.
She thought about it for a while and then she said, “I’d like an electric toothbrush for Christmas.” She explained that her dentist suggested she get one and why.
I told her that was an easy present. She should consider it done.
I sent the Dear Wonderful Hubby an email adding an electric toothbrush to our shopping list.
Moments later, my Awesome Mom told me she might have already asked my eldest brother for one. She was a bit loopy after the dentist appointment and might have said something about ot.
I laughed and told her that was a bit more difficult but I’d reach out to him and ensure he hadn’t bought an electric toothbrush for her.
I sent an email to my eldest brother, copying the Dear Wonderful Hubby on it, asking if he made that purchase.
My Awesome Mom then added that she might have mentioned it to my middle sister also. She wasn’t sure. And she might have mentioned it to HER sister.
I laughed again and said I’d send out a group email and ensure she wasn’t getting 50 toothbrushes for Christmas.
My Awesome Mom laughed and said that might be best.
I sent the group email, copying the Dear Wonderful Hubby on it.
When the Dear Wonderful Hubby came home, he, of course, teased me about how his inbox was overflowing with a gazillion emails about electric toothbrushes. (grins)

Claiming Cure And White Jackets
Cure, the cyborg hero of Claiming Cure, and Cyra, its human heroine, are both medics. (The locals call Cyra a healer, their word for medic.)
They both wear white jackets similar to those doctors here on Earth wear.
Why do they wear white jackets?
The white jackets are highly visible. Medics on Cancri B and on the Dauntless won’t be mistaken for warriors. If an enemy shoots at a being wearing a white jacket, they know that being is a medic.
Patients will also know the being is a medic. They will have the comfort of knowing they’re with someone who seeks to heal, not harm.
The white jackets also have big pockets. That’s ideal for medics as they have a lot of things to carry – scanners, handhelds, containers of pills for patients, gifts from a head covering crafting teen girl, etc.
Another benefit of the white jackets is…they are easy to change. Being a medic can be a dirty job. There’s blood and other fluids to deal with. It is much easier to grab a clean white jacket than don a clean flight suit.

Throwback Thursday – Doc’s Orders
Doc’s Orders is a tough story to read right now because it deals with a pandemic on an isolated planet and we’re currently living through a pandemic (or more than one) here on Earth.
Doc’s Orders was written before COVID. But that wasn’t due to me predicting COVID would happen.
I had merely done my research.
Pandemics, unfortunately, happen. Often.
They especially happen when isolated populations are exposed to travelers. Explorers killed millions of beings by exposing them to germs and viruses and other things they had never before that contact experienced.
This would happen with space travel also. And it DOES happen…in Doc’s Orders.
Doc’s Orders
She wants both sides of her cyborg—the medic AND the beast.
A fully functional cyborg is balanced. His machine half and his organic half work together to produce the perfect warrior.
Doc isn’t fully functional.
The G Model operates at the two extremes. When his machine is in complete control, he’s the logic-driven medic, saving lifespans. Once his organics take charge, he becomes the savage beast…and beings die.
Both sides of Doc want to be the first to claim his female.
Allinen is one of the few beings in her small settlement who wasn’t born with a fated mate. Determined to belong somewhere, she has crafted a plan to leave the planet.
That plan doesn’t involve a huge stormy-eyed male who alternates between cool seduction and out-of-control ravishment. Doc isn’t her fated mate. Allinen knows that. But his dual nature and forbidden embraces tempt her to forget forever and indulge in more immediate delights.
Neither side of Doc views their relationship as being temporary. Her conflicted cyborg is prepared to battle her family, her planet and death itself to keep her.

Claiming Cure And Finishing The Mission
If you’ve read Drift Would, you know Cure’s part of the mission is…to complete it.
The mission started with Strike. He uncovered a possible source of the mysterious noise the captain and crew of the Dauntless had detected.
It continued with Drift. He completed a significant portion of the mission.
And it will…hopefully…end with Cure.
Which is ironic as he is a medic and seems to be the least likely cyborg to complete a dangerous mission. (grins)

Gardening – Gathering The Leaves
It is Fall/Autumn in my corner of the universe. The leaves on the trees are turning brilliant yellows and oranges and reds. They’re gorgeous. It is like living temporarily on a magical alien planet. (smiles)
Soon, those leaves will fall to the ground. We have HUGE trees and the leaves, if not gathered, will reach my knees or higher.
They have to be gathered. They do NOT have to be sent to the city for composting (or worse, to be placed in the landfill – grimaces).
All those leaves contain valuable minerals and nutrients. When broken down into leaf mold (a ‘composting’ process that requires merely leaves and a little bit of water and time), those minerals and nutrients can be returned to garden beds to feed vegetables, flowers and other plants.
Gather your leaves and HOARD them. They are extremely valuable. Don’t throw that wealth away!

Muse Food – Shelter In Tree
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spotted this awesome tree when we were trekking around Alaska.
You likely can’t detect it from the photo but the sheltered area was plenty large enough to accommodate both of us. We truly could shelter in the tree (not fully standing up but width wise).
Homes don’t have to be constructed. On some alien planets, homes could be grown. The planet could provide shelter. And wouldn’t that be an interesting bit of world building?

Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Browse through the awesome Halloween decorations and other goodies in stores (either physical stores or virtual) right now. Think about the amazing Halloween celebrations you’ve enjoyed in the past. Remember that fun and that joy. I wish that for you again this year!

Claiming Cure
A proud cyborg medic meets his human match.
***
Cyra has tasks to complete before she dies.
There are patients to heal, a dangerous mission to undertake, and a world to save. She doesn’t have time to entertain uninvited guests.
Especially one coldhearted cyborg medic who thinks he’s better than her.
The male might be breathtakingly handsome. His sternly set lips might be extremely kissable. And his touch might draw out a passion she didn’t think she was capable of feeling.
But he’s also a distraction, one that might doom millions of innocent beings to a painful, horrible death.
Cure isn’t emotionless. He feels…greatly. Listening to that malfunction has caused other beings pain and suffering in the past.
He refuses to allow his desires to cloud his judgment now.
His resolve is tested when he’s forced to associate with the most provoking, alluring medic in the universe.
Cyra is his genetic match, the one being in the universe he is fated to protect, touch, claim. She’s clever and beautiful, and the need to hold her almost downs his systems.
But now is not the time to indulge his great wanting.
Cure has an assignment to complete.
If he fails to accomplish his goals, everyone he cares for, including his human female, will die.
***
Claiming Cure is a standalone Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features two skilled medics determined to ignore the toe-curling attraction between them, a perilous impossible mission, and foes seeking to ensure they never heal another being ever again.

Claiming Cure And Assumptions
Cure assumes his contact on Cancri B is male and humanoid.
He has based this assumption on probabilities. The odds his contact is male are very high. The odds that contact is Cancri are also very high.
But Cyra, his female human contact, defies the odds. In all ways. (grins) Cure will soon realize that.
