Second Scene From Dark Cure
Woot! The countdown to Dark Cure’s release is on.
Last week, I shared the first scene from the first chapter. You can read that here: http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=6639
Today, I’m sharing the second scene.
Before the Ahkian could draw his weapon, an invisible force propelled him across the chamber. He slammed against the wall, the impact cracking the surface, yet he didn’t fall.
The male hung high in the air, his face twisted in terror, his arms and legs flailing. No sound came from his open mouth.
“He’s a patient.” She faced Kralj. The medic bay was her domain.
“He’s mine.” A shadow concealed the Ruler’s scarred face. “He killed within my walls.”
Dita, Kralj’s mate, stood behind the all-powerful male, her lithe body clad in black, daggers and guns decorating that skintight garment. She had been an assassin before she met the male. Now she was merely an extension of the Ruler.
A blast of air hit Gisella. She fought to remain upright, battered by the manufactured wind.
“She is my mate.” Kralj’s voice boomed. “You will respect her.”
Or she would die, was the implication. The Ruler didn’t tolerate any perceived insult.
Pono whimpered. The girl was sensibly scared of the male.
Gisella was frightened also. Any rational being would be. But she didn’t show it. “I respect you.”
Kralj’s tremendous abilities demanded deference. Only a being lacking intelligence would fail to show it.
Her gaze lifted to the male restrained high above the floor. The Ahkian might be a fool but he was also her patient.
“Some patients don’t deserve to live.” Kralj addressed her unspoken concerns. “The female he attacked was younger than your trainee.”
“I wasn’t notified a young female needed healing.” Being the lead medic, she oversaw all incoming patients.
“He carved her to pieces.” The Ruler stated that without emotion. “By the time Oghul, the leader of the Chameles, rescued her, there wasn’t enough of her to heal. She died moments later.”
The female should still have been brought to the medic bay. Gisella frowned. She might have been able to save her.
“You couldn’t have done anything.” That was Kralj’s judgment.
It wasn’t hers.
“The male is mine.” The Ruler’s tone prevented further discussion. “Leave the chamber.”
He would rip her patient to pieces now, drink his blood, eat his flesh. Kralj was a modified humanoid. Some called him a monster. He devoured beings who broke his laws.
Gisella hustled her protégé out of the chamber. She didn’t want the girl to witness the Ahkian’s gruesome fate.
“Sanitize yourself.” She gave Pono a cleaning cloth, utilized another one on herself, wiping the grime and bacteria off her hands, tidying her easily cleaned white medic jacket.
“Would we have healed the Ahkian, knowing what he did to the girl?” The medic-in-training shook with shock. The Ruler had that effect on beings.
“It isn’t our task to judge our patients.” Most of the inhabitants of the Refuge had killed or maimed others. “We heal them. That’s our—”
“Medic.” A male voice raised, originating from the entrance. “We need a medic. Now.”
“Everyone always needs a medic now,” Pono muttered.
“Part of our role is evaluating if they are correct.” Gisella squared her shoulders and strode toward the main medic bay doors.
Two Palavian males held a third one upright. The other beings in the space, waiting for updates on loved ones, gave them a wide berth. Her staff formed a defensive line in front of the trio.
That caution was wise. Palavians could be…unpredictable. The four-armed beings embraced violence and lawlessness, caused problems wherever they went.
She hid her dismay at facing three of them under a mask of indifference.
“Be careful,” she murmured to her protégé.
“Medic,” the tallest male bellowed, his ugly countenance contorted with fury-edged concern.
“We’re here.” She moved closer, staying out of reach of his arms. “Pono, give me your verbal assessment of the patient.”
A quick glance had told her the male wasn’t in need of urgent care. She’d allow the medic-in-training to relay that information.
Assessing incoming patients was an important task to master.
The girl swallowed hard. “His chest is rising and falling at regular intervals. He appears to be breathing well on his own.” She stepped toward him. “His coloring matches the other males’.”
That was challenging to determine. All three of them were disgustingly dirty, their flight suits covered with grime. A rancid smell radiated from them. Dried blood decorated the blade of the axe strapped to the tall one’s waist.
“There are no signs of trauma.” Pono drifted nearer to their patient and bent over to look at his downturned face. “He isn’t conscious and—”
“Enough yammering.” The tall Palavian lunged toward the girl.
Fuck. Gisella pushed Pono aside. The girl squeaked, scurrying out of range.
The male targeted Gisella instead, grabbing her wrist and yanking her to him. Pain coursed through her. Her bones bent, threatening to break.
“Let me go.” She searched through a pocket of her jacket with her free hand.
“My brother needs healing.” The male’s spittle speckled her face, his horrid breath making her light-headed. “Now.” He shook her.
Her fingers closed around her gun. She extracted it, pressed the muzzle to his groin, and tapped the trigger.
The Palavian released a high-pitched animal noise. His hands spasmed, allowing her to escape him. He fell to the tiled floor, clutching his balls, his form gyrating with pain. Foam formed at his mouth. His screeching continued.

First Scene From Dark Cure
Dark Cure, the final installment in the Dark Thoughts/Refuge series will be releasing November 13th. Woot! I love this story and I hope you’ll love it too.
While we wait, I’ll be sharing the first chapter. Today, I’m sharing the first scene from that first chapter.
Healing was Gisella’s sole purpose in the universe.
Determined not to repeat the mistakes her mother had made, she banished any other distractions from her lifespan, suppressing her yearnings for a male, for children, for love.
She focused on her role as a medic, on those important duties.
As the lead medic within the Refuge, Carinae E’s largest settlement, her responsibilities included more than saving the lifespans of those she personally tended. She also had to train the next generation of healers.
Her current protégé, Pono, was a Tau Cetian who had lost everything when the Humanoid Alliance blew up her planet. After discovering the girl was like her, all alone in the universe, Gisella had offered to mentor her. Pono had gripped that opportunity with both hands and now bubbled over with enthusiasm.
“If I work two shifts a planet rotation like you do, Lead Medic, I’ll progress even quicker.” The girl chattered as she walked beside Gisella, the two of them navigating the corridors of the medic bay. “Medic Shaushka made that suggestion.”
“Medic Shaushka is the second best medic on Carinae E.” Gisella was the most experienced healer. “Listen to her.”
The girl’s head bobbed. “She could have her own medic bay if she wanted that role. Other settlements have approached her and she turned them down.”
“Her mate is a merchant in the Refuge.” Gisella stifled a sigh.
Like Gisella’s mother, the other medic was choosing love over her dreams, putting a male first. She suspected the female would later regret her decision, would become just as bitter and disillusioned at the end of her lifespan.
Which was a shame as Medic Shaushka was a skilled healer.
Gisella stopped in front of a chamber. “What’s the status of our next patient?” She looked at her protégé.
“He’s an Ahkian male.” Pono consulted her private viewscreen. “His hand has been severed. Source of trauma is unknown. He was given a prolonger and a pain inhibitor by the receiving medic.”
They were treating another severed hand. Gisella shook her head. Since a certain group of barbarians landed on the planet, the number of reattachments she’d performed had tripled.
“He might be violent.” The Refuge catered to outlaws and outcasts, was home to the some of the most vicious beings in the universe. “Be on your guard.”
She slid one hand into her jacket’s front pocket, curled her fingers around the tiny gun hidden there, and placed her other palm on the control panel. The doors opened. She strode into the space. Her protégé followed her, locking the door behind them.
A male with greasy dark-blue hair and lighter-blue skin turned toward them, a gun in his right hand. Strips of dirty cloth were wrapped around his left wrist. “Finally, a fuckin’ medic arrives.” He holstered his weapon. “I’ve been waiting here for an entire fuckin’ shift.” His eyes were bright yellow.
Shit. He was a Mox-X addict. They were extremely volatile, the drug altering their brains.
Gisella stepped to the side, positioning herself protectively in front of her protégé. “You’ve been waiting here for mere moments.” That information had been recorded in his file. “Sit on the sleeping support.”
“I don’t have time to fuckin’ sit.” He glanced at the now-closed door. “I need my hand reattached now.”
That body part had been set on a horizontal support. He might be blasted out of his skull on drugs but he’d had the foresight to retrieve his hand.
“I’m not treating you until you sit.” A seated patient was less dangerous.
The male huffed yet did as he was told, plunking his ass on the sleeping support. “I’m seated.” He glared at her.
“Then I can treat you.” She unwrapped his wrist. “Was the object that severed your hand clean?”
That question was asked for her listening protégé’s benefit. The cloth utilized to stop the bleeding was filthy. The wound would be infected.
“One of those Chamele bastards with their fuckin’ claws attacked me.” Her patient confirmed her suspicions. “I didn’t see him coming.”
The damn barbarians had fought with yet another resident, creating more work for her and her team. She pressed her lips together.
“It was none of his fuckin’ business.” The Ahkian spewed hatred. “He had no—”
The doors behind Gisella opened. Only one being in the Refuge had the ability to unlock them. She straightened.
“The female you decided was your fuckin’ business died.” Kralj’s voice came from everywhere and nowhere. The Ruler of the settlement had powers she’d never witnessed in another being.
“Fuck.” Her patient reached for his gun. “You found me.”

Fourth Scene From The Cyborg’s Secret Baby
I’ve been sharing scenes from The Cyborg’s Secret Baby (releasing September 25th).
You can read the first scene here: http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=6554
Today, I’m sharing the fourth and final scene from Chapter One.
He and his fellow cyborgs marched, varying their stride while moving in unison. They’d take a long step, followed by a short step, followed by another short step.
Normally, their human officers would walk in their footsteps. That ensured they placed their booted feet on safe ground.
Fidget was unable to do that, his mind blasted by the drugs. He staggered behind Stealth, torturing him with the blades, shaving his flesh off layer by layer.
Explosive. Lethal gave the cyborgs the location of the hidden bomb.
Stealth stepped over the deadly device and then propelled himself forward. He and his brethren ran at their top speeds, relocating quicker than the human eye could track.
A boom sounded. He threw his body on the ground. A blast of wetness, a spray of dirt and gravel, splattered against his back.
Stealth stood, dusted off his palms, and returned to his place in the line. They continued to march, the group whole except for one missing human officer.
There aren’t many females on the Homeland. Finding his female was Lethal’s obsession. The E Model had drilled Stealth with questions, claiming he wanted to be the best male possible for his female…whenever he found her.
I’ll process that when I’m standing on Homeland soil. Boom remained focused on his sole goal.
One of the E Models has found his female. She thinks his eyes are beautiful. Lethal had the black dead eyes of all of his kind. E Models scared most humans.
His friend didn’t frighten Zebrina.
My female said your eyes make you appear mysterious. Stealth often talked to her about his brethren. She knew them by name, had expressed caring for the warriors.
Is mysterious good? His friend was as unknowledgeable about females as Stealth was.
I asked her the same question. Stealth chuckled through the transmission line. She said many females love mysterious males.
I would like to be loved. Lethal admitted, yearning edging his words. Just once. Just for a moment. I could die happily then.
The E Model believed that to be the truth but Stealth knew differently. One moment would never be enough. At the end of the rest cycle, he would want more time with Zebrina. He’d yearn to run his fingers through her soft curls, to taste the sweetness of her mouth, to hear her panting as they bred.
And that wouldn’t be possible.
She would be safe. He focused on that all-important goal.
You’re not dying. Boom remained in denial. And don’t damage yourself about your eyes. If a female can love Stealth, one can love you. He teased. He’s a tiny warrior.
Ha. Stealth was taller and broader than any human, but compared to his friends, both earlier models, he was small. At least, I didn’t try to catch a missile in battle this planet rotation.
I almost succeeded. His friend replayed the scene. That would have surprised the enemy.
That would have surprised all of us. Lethal’s tone was dry. Stop trying to catch missiles. You nearly lost your arm.
It flew right over my head. Boom showed them the footage once again. How could I resist it?
Missiles fly over my head, the E Model retorted. I manage to resist them.
You have no sense of fun, Boom muttered.
Stealth laughed. The other cyborgs joined in until the transmission lines echoed with mirth.
He loved the males, was honored to fight with them, to die with them, knowing his female would soon be far away from the upcoming battles.

Being A Single Mom To A Cyborg Baby And The Cyborg’s Secret Baby
In most secret baby romances I’ve read, the ‘baby’ is usually a toddler, a 2 or 3 year old child, when the secret of his/her existence is uncovered.
That’s the duration of the couple’s separation.
It is also the duration of Stealth and Zebrina’s separation in The Cyborg’s Secret Baby.
One key difference, however, is… cyborgs mature physically within 1 solar cycle (within 1 year).
This means Zebrina was a single (human) mom the entire time their baby was the physical equivalent of a toddler.
Cyborgs don’t sleep and they are faster than most humans, even when they are babies.
This, alone, makes Zebrina a heroine in my eyes.
(grins)
I feel for her.

Third Scene From The Cyborg’s Secret Baby
I’ve been sharing scenes from The Cyborg’s Secret Baby.
You can read the first scene here: http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=6554
Today, I’m sharing the third scene.
Her smile faded. Odoon is conveying a ship of children at sunrise to Waaban Two.
His female didn’t agree with what her father and the Humanoid Alliance were doing. Instead, she used her position as the commander’s daughter to uncover information.
That data was supplied to Stealth, their expanded knowledge allowing his brethren to survive more easily. She also relayed limited information to her Rebel contact Odoon, telling the Ahkian male the best planet rotations to sneak offspring off the war-torn planet, giving him clearance codes, other details.
Be on Odoon’s ship. Stealth would escort her to the landing pad.
I’ll reserve two spots. She narrowed her gaze at him. I won’t leave the planet without you.
He said nothing. Cyborgs couldn’t lie and no calculation he completed allowed him to depart without putting all of his brethren in danger. He wouldn’t cause the death of millions of cyborgs to save his own life.
They would have the rest cycle to spend together. He would see her, touch her, breed with her one more time.
Then they would part. He would die knowing she was safe.
Are you damaged? Her face softened.
She worried about him, a being other humans considered an emotionless machine. I’m not severely damaged. Not by cyborg standards. A human would have died from his current wounds. Knowing you’re waiting for me gives me a reason to be careful.
Movement at the far edge of his terrain drew his gaze. The cyborgs replacing them arrived, their bodies whole, their weapons polished, their skin clean. They were an assortment of Models, all skilled in fighting, all realizing their planet rotations were numbered.
Communicating with your female, K Model? One of the warriors asked him the question through another transmission line.
Males made kissing noises, laughing and joking.
Every cyborg envied him. Stealth grinned, the movement hurting his face. He’d found his female, loved and was loved.
That was everything any warrior could envision having and more than any of them would ever have.
It’s time for us to leave. He told her. I love you, my female.
I love you, my male.
He ended the transmission and jogged to his fighting batch, joining those brethren in the trek away from the battlefield. All of them were covered with grime and blood, had portions of their frames showing. Their energy levels were low, needed boosting.
They marched three warriors across. Lethal led them, announcing any dangers they faced. Explosives remained hidden in the ground.
The mood was somber. They knew they’d soon die.
It has been an honor fighting with you. Lethal gravely informed them.
I’m not dying, Boom replied.
None of us can defeat one hundred warriors. The E Model pointed out that undeniable fact.
I’m not dying. Boom repeated. I didn’t survive this long to have my lifespan end here. Once the cyborg council gives the order, we’re escaping, traveling to the Homeland and…
And? Stealth prompted. The C Model always talked about the Homeland. He never said what he’d do there.
I don’t know. His friend’s tone was sheepish. But I do know I’ll make it to the Homeland. I have to. He paused as though processing the situation. It’s all I want, all I’ve ever wanted.
Their officer, a male they privately called Fidget, leaned against a partially demolished wall. He chattered at a fast rate to the officer in charge of the other batch. His eyes were yellow.
Fidget has been dipping into the Mox-X again. Lethal communicated.
The human, unable to handle the stresses of war, spiraled farther and farther into addiction. His decisions grew increasingly erratic. He jumped at every loud noise, was currently waving around daggers.
His cruelty hadn’t changed. “Look at them.” He spoke to the other officer. “They’re pieces of junk. We should decommission all of them.”
Decommissioning was the most painful death possible. Cyborgs were dissected while they were alive, salvaged for parts.
“We can’t decommission them.” The other officer was the voice of reason. “Since the manufacturing compound on Tau Ceti was blown up, supply has been limited.”
The Humanoid Alliance was responsible for blowing up that planet. They had caused their own cyborg shortage, limiting the warriors available to fight their numerous wars.
“Fuck.” Fidget dragged the tips of his daggers over the cyborgs’ arms as he moved to the middle of the batch. “Space.” He sliced into Stealth’s elbow. “I need space.”
Lethal instructed them to take two steps forward. The warriors behind Stealth’s row took two steps backward, allowing the human to stand between them.
That human carved chunks out of Stealth’s left shoulder blade. The pain almost shorted his systems.
“Are you okay to return to the base?” The other officer raised his concern.
“Fuck you.” That was Fidget’s answer.
This is the planet rotation. Lethal said what every cyborg must have been processing. They had been waiting for the perfect time to end the humans’ reign of terror.
It pleased Stealth that the sadistic being would be eliminated before they all died. That was one less male who could possible harm his female.
The thought of leaving her alone and unprotected tormented him. The universe was dangerous. Although she had his nanocybotics and could heal quickly, she could still be hurt, could still die.
According to the reports he’d accessed in the databases, Waaban Two, the planet Odoon was resettling the offspring on, was peaceful. Once Zebrina arrived there, she should be safe.

Ahki, Ahkians And The Cyborg’s Secret Baby
The Cyborg’s Secret Baby starts on the planet of Ahki.
The terrain is very humid (it rains every planet rotation after the sun sets) and covered with lush bluish-green vegetation.
Zebrina, our heroine, views it as a paradise.
Ahkians look very similar to humans except they have blue skin and hair, having evolved to blend into the bluish-green vegetation of Ahki.
Because I adhere to the common ancestor theory (humans and genetically-compatible aliens evolved from common ancestors), I tend to use existing Earth languages for my alien languages.
The language spoken on Ahki is very similar to Ojibwe (here is a great resource – http://www.nativetech.org/shinob/ojibwelanguage.html ).
Ahki roughly translates to Earth or Land.

Second Scene From The Cyborg’s Secret Baby
Last week, I shared the first scene of the first chapter from The Cyborg’s Secret Baby. You can read that scene here: http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=6554
Today, I’m sharing the second scene.
He slowed his speed as he left the area, venturing into the unknown. His sensors detected humanoids before him. He rushed from large piece of debris to large piece of debris, passed a group of males and females. They had guns in their hands and were peering toward the front line, their faces solemn, gray dust dulling their dark blue hair.
None of the beings saw him. They were humanoid, had humanoid senses, couldn’t detect his presence.
He crisscrossed the area, noting tripwires, buried explosives, transmitting everything he saw, heard, sensed to all of the cyborgs on Ahki. The Rebels had dug trenches. That wouldn’t slow the advance much. Some of the domiciles were rigged to collapse. Unless there were beings hiding in them, his brethren would avoid them.
Humanoids occupied a large structure at the edge of the proposed advancement, their lifeforms appearing on his scans. Two Rebel males with guns stood outside the front doors.
Stealth, being a cyborg, didn’t need to enter the structure to hear what was being said. After circling the perimeter, he returned to a section of wall that hadn’t been cleared of vegetation. He dashed into the blue-tinged greenery, pressed his back against the stone, and listened.
The beings discussed the ideal battle tactics to use against him and his brethren. None of the proposals would alter anything. The Rebels lacked the skills the cyborgs had honed over thousands of solar cycles of fighting.
“Changing our tactics will achieve very little.” An unseen male agreed with him, his accent identifying him as a local. “The Humanoid Alliance have cyborgs and outnumber us. They will advance.”
A number of beings protested, argued that wouldn’t happen.
“The goal isn’t to stop the advance.” The female communicating that sounded unconcerned about their imminent failure. “It’s to slow them and minimize casualties.”
“That will only delay our defeat.” The first male retorted.
There was another flurry of debate.
“The Geminorum Giants have joined the war.” The female must be their superior officer. The others stopped talking when she spoke. “Their fleet will arrive in four planet rotations. We’ll then outnumber the Humanoid Alliance one hundred to one. Our goal is to stay alive until then.”
One hundred to one. Fraggin’ hole. Stealth’s reaction was repeated through the transmission lines. That exceeded Boom’s kill rate and he was their best warrior.
Unless they received reinforcements, the Humanoid Alliance would lose the fight for Ahki. He and all of his brethren would die. That was 99.9989 percent certain.
Dying in battle didn’t scare him. He’d always assumed he’d end his lifespan with weapons in his hands. No warrior lived forever.
But their deaths would place Zebrina in peril also. He couldn’t allow his female to be harmed.
Having heard enough to make a decision, he retreated to his terrain. The space remained clear. He hunkered down beside the dilapidated domicile and prepared to contact his female.
Shortly after she arrived, she had forgotten one of her private viewscreens in the cyborg holding structure. He’d incorporated the data on the device into his processors, strengthened her security, created a transmission line no other human could access.
That allowed them to communicate whenever they wanted, without fear of discovery.
He looked around him. A yellow flower bloomed between the cracked stone, its petals delicate and fragile, its leaves covered with a thin layer of dust.
Keeping his gaze on that rare bit of beauty on the war-torn planet, he opened the transmission line. His female was drawn to vegetation, would see that same view through his eyes.
Are you alone? He always asked that question, reminding her that beings could be listening to them.
There was a pause. Was his female near a device?
Her beautiful face appeared in his processors. There was an earpiece in her left ear. I am now. Her simulated voice hardened his cock.
She inputted coded text into her devices. His system converted that text to speech. That ensured she wasn’t overheard.
I miss you. Her words echoed his thoughts.
I’m leaving the battlefield soon, should arrive at the base before the sun sets. The trek took a long duration and they had to move at the human officer’s speed.
Zebrina beamed at him, the impact hitting him like a missile to his stomach. I’ll meet you in the storage chamber.
They often had encounters in that small space, touching furtively in the dark, giving each other the most sublime pleasure, reinforcing their connection through physical contact.
After breeding, she would smell of him, his lifespan extending nanocybotics relayed through his kisses, his essence. Her musk would cling to his skin.
He wanted that, craved that, but her safety was his primary mission. You must arrange transport off Ahki.

First Scene From The Cyborg’s Secret Baby
Woot! The countdown to the release of The Cyborg’s Secret Baby is on! That means I’ll be sharing the first chapter of the story over the next few weeks.
Today, I’m sharing the first scene of the first chapter.
The battle for the thirty strides of terrain had been fierce. Stealth’s form was riddled with projectiles. Hunks of flesh hung off his face and chest. His back had been blasted bare by explosions, his body armor long gone. The pain was excruciating.
He had a smile on his face.
Being a K Model cyborg, he loved to fight. His brutal masters, the Humanoid Alliance, had manufactured him for that purpose. He and his brethren remained enslaved to them and couldn’t choose their opponents, but they could defeat them with zeal.
That wasn’t the reason for his joy.
After ten planet rotations of separation, he would finally return to the Humanoid Alliance base with his brethren. He would see his female, the one being genetically compatible with him.
From the moment, Zebrina, the commander’s daughter, had arrived on Ahki, he had been hers. He’d been standing outside with his fighting batch, being inspected for damage. She’d skipped down the ramp, her generous curves jiggling, her black curls bouncing against her brown cheeks.
His female had been a vibrant beam of hope in a gray and dismal world. Everyone, including himself, had been drawn to her.
Then her delectable scent filled his nostrils and that attraction multiplied exponentially. His circuits surged. His heart pounded. A part of him that had been deactivated came online. It had taken all of his willpower to keep his expression blank.
She said hi to everyone, her light, bubbly tone belying the keen intelligence in her big blue eyes. Stealth and his fellow cyborgs had been included in her greeting, much to their delight.
The commander, a harsh human she referred to irreverently as Daddy, told her not to talk to the machines. Zebrina giggled and said they looked like her dollies.
She then brushed her fingers across Stealth’s right shoulder, a light touch he felt to his metal frame, and he knew the attraction was mutual. Their relationship was doomed. She was human, the daughter of his tormenter, and he was a cyborg, designed to die fighting.
Every moment with her was a gift, a reward for having survived as long as he had.
He scanned his assigned area. The vegetation was scorched. A structure had been demolished. The light-blue bodies of Ahkian Rebels lay twisted on the ground, their eyes open and unseeing.
There were no lifeforms remaining.
Lethal. He contacted the E Model to the left of him. Cover my section. I’m scouting the terrain ahead of us.
Their replacements would be pushing the front line forward. Those warriors would be more successful at doing that if they knew what they were facing.
They certainly couldn’t count on the intel they were given by the Humanoid Alliance. Their human masters viewed them as disposable weapons and didn’t make any effort to verify the information, not caring if cyborgs were terminated.
He and his brethren were on their own.
I’ll cover half of your section. Boom, the warrior to his right, beat his foe with another humanoid’s detached leg.
The C Model had use of only one of his arms. The other one had been severed to the circuits by a wayward missile and his nanocybotics hadn’t yet repaired it.
I’ll miss the fighting when we reach the Homeland. His friend talked constantly of the cyborg-controlled planet, a place where all warriors were free. According to transmissions, there’s no killing there.
You can fight me in the training rings. Lethal threw a rock across the expanse.
It pinged off the C Model’s metal-encased skull. That wouldn’t be any challenge.
Frag you. The two nattered back and forth.
Stealth had been stationed with the males after surviving his training and they had fought together since then. The two warriors had saved his lifespan multiple times, always protected his back.
He would do anything for them and they would do anything for him.
Assured his area was covered, he sprinted forward, moving at cyborg speed through the cleared terrain. Corpses were strewn over the ground.
The Ahkian Rebels were fighting for their freedom, for their home planet, for the right to exist. He had sympathy for the beings. If he had the choice, he wouldn’t fight them.
He didn’t have a choice. If he refused to fight, the Humanoid Alliance would know cyborgs had free will and couldn’t be completely controlled. They would decommission not only him but every warrior in the universe, subjecting them to the most severe agony possible before ending their lifespans.
Either the Rebels died or he and his brethren did. His loyalty belonged to his own kind.
