Muse Food – Chess And Other Strategy Games
Battle scenes and love scenes are very similar. They are often constructed with an action, followed by a physical reaction and usually an emotional reaction.
Something like…
He strokes her chest. She arches her back. Desire sweeps through her.
or
She swings her sword. He blocks the blow. Excitement courses through his circuits.
It reminds me of a game of chess. There’s a move. Then there’s a countermove.
When I’m stuck in a scene, I often jot down a random action and then I think how the other beings in that scene would react to it. That often gets my creativity flowing.

Grin And Bare Him
This cyborg will be the warrior his female requires.
Cyborgs are designed to fight. That is their primary purpose and 98.2356 percent of the manufactured warriors enjoy battle. Tremendously.
Grin, a K model, is one of the rare exceptions. When he escaped his cruel creators, he set down his sword and allocated his processors to less violent pursuits. He projects he’s left his war-waging planet rotations behind him forever.
Then he meets his beautiful, beguiling female, the one being he’s destined to protect, to claim, to love for all eternity, and his plans for peace are completely decimated.
Mohini needs a ship.
She has a dangerous mission to complete and the first step in that assignment is arranging transport to an enemy-controlled planet. The vessel she has set her sights on is guarded by the sexiest cyborg she’s ever seen.
To gain access to his ship, Mohini is prepared to kiss, caress, seduce the muscular male. The mission is her focus. The pleasure she experiences will merely be a bonus.
A female has to do what a female has to do to save the universe.
Grin And Bare Him is a Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a humanoid female undertaking a dangerous mission, a cyborg intent on keeping her alive, and an enemy with enough firepower to blow up an entire sector.

Grin And Bare Him – Third Scene Of The First Chapter
The countdown to the release day for Grin And Bare Him continues!
I’m sharing the third scene from the first chapter this week.
You can read the first scene here:
http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=10131
***
“There’s a 5.1236 percent probability Grin’s test will kill us all during the voyage.” Strive relayed that intel to Raw.
“There’s an 11.2589 percent probability my female will reject me.” Raw’s confident façade slipped for a heartbeat, revealing an uncertainty that unsettled Grin.
The male met the specs for their kind. That he doubted his worthiness doomed the rest of them.
“She’s your genetic match.” Grin reminded his friend. “And you’re a great warrior.”
“I am a great warrior.” The male squared his shoulders. “She might be busy with other tasks. That might be why she isn’t accepting my communications.”
That wasn’t a good sign for their relationship.
Grin exchanged another glance with Strive.
His friend inclined his head toward the beautiful panel he’d decorated.
Grin nodded, silently agreeing with that proposal.
“Give her this.” Strive handed the sheet of metal to Raw. “According to my research, many females like gifts, and they also like flowers. She’ll hang it in her private chambers and be reminded of you.”
Raw brought it close to his face and sniffed. “It smells like battle.” His lips curled upward. “I like it.”
“You like it because it smells like a gun?” Strive waved his hands at the panel. “Look at it. Note how realistic the flowers are, how the curve of the stems mirrors the curves of the blossom, the use of negative space and symmetry and—”
“It’s beautiful work.” Grin sought to repair the blow to his friend’s ego. “The design is one of the best you’ve ever fabricated. I’ve saved the image in my databases and will replicate it in a deserving domicile.”
“It is very…flowery.” Raw’s attempt to placate Strive was weak.
The male wasn’t appreciative of decoration. Very few cyborgs valued design outside of functionality.
“It is very flowery?” The artistic cyborg exhaled noisily. “My work is wasted on you.”
“Your work might not be wasted on my female.” Raw was oblivious to Strive’s emotional damage. The warrior smiled down at the panel. “It is pretty.”
“Pretty?” Strive appeared on the verge of shutting down.
“Find the calm,” Grin murmured.
The glance his friend threw him was the exact opposite of calm.
“We leave at sunrise.” Raw tucked the panel under his right arm. “The warship is situated on landing pad 25632 North. It’s being stocked with supplies and weapons.”
Grin couldn’t process why they needed additional guns. They weren’t at war with Mercury Minor, and they were traveling through cyborg-monitored space.
There were other preparations to be made.
“I’m attaching two panels fabricated from each test material to the exterior of the ship.” He had those sheets manufactured three planet rotations ago. “Their shielding will be in addition to the protection granted by the existing panels.” His gaze shifted to Strive. “That will decrease the probability of their failure killing us all to 0.1257 percent.”
His friend could be overly dramatic.
“The additional drag and weight will decrease our top speed.” The male could also be frustratingly logical. He was a cyborg, was one-half mechanical, one-half organic.
“We’ll utilize that time to formulate a plan to win over my female.” Raw didn’t appear concerned about the delay. “Bring materials. You might have to craft more pretty decorations for her.”
“My art isn’t pretty, you unappreciative bag of bolts.” Strive’s eyes blazed.
“You won’t need those additional decorations.” Grin was 99.5687 percent certain of that. “You operate within spec, my friend.” Unlike him. And unlike Strive. “Once she sees you, once she senses your nanocybotics, she’ll welcome your claim.”
“She’s heard my voice.” Raw didn’t share that confidence.
Cyborgs recognized their genetic matches by their voice and by their scent.
“She’s human.” That might be the explanation. Grin walked toward the structure where he’d stored the extra panels. “She might need more points of connection, but she will bond with you. You’re fully functional.”
“His art-evaluation systems aren’t fully functional,” Strive muttered.
The two males followed Grin.
“I am fully functional.” Raw ignored Strive’s comments. “And she will bond with me.” His tread lightened.
Grin was happy for his friend. Truly.
But he was also extremely envious.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – November 6th
This week, I shared the second scene from the first chapter of Grin And Bare Him. (grins) And we are officially in Grin And Bare Him’s release month! I’m super excited for you to read this story.
I continue to craft the first draft of Raw Desires, the next story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in February). Raw and his female are still alive and that, with their tempestuous relationship and action-packed plot, is a miracle. (laughs)
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) Re-read a favorite book. Send someone you like a letter through the post/mail. Talk to an animal. (If you need a squirrel to talk to, the Dear Wonderful Hubby and I know of plenty of them. – smiles) Know that you are loved.

Gratitude
You and I are here. We’ve survived almost three years of an ongoing global pandemic thus far. And that is a feat to be celebrated, to be cherished.
Is the world perfect? No. (smiles) Of course, it isn’t perfect. Are our lives perfect? Again, that’s likely a no. But we’re alive. You have me and I have you. (big hugs) We’re not alone. And we have great stories to read, awesome conversations to engage in.
I’m grateful for you. (more hugs) And I’m grateful to be here, to be alive, to have the honor of spending another day on the best planet in the universe.

Holiday Shopping
I’ve almost completed all of my holiday shopping. Woot!
(The only presents left are the perishables.)
I like doing this shopping early for a number of reasons.
One reason is… my Awesome Mom is a gifts of love person. (smiles) She shows and receives love by giving and receiving gifts. Having a pile of presents in her home waiting to be opened makes her feel loved. She looks at those gifts every dang day and it gives her happiness. So hey, why not grant her that joy?
The biggest reason, however, is I’m concerned yet again this year about the supply chains. With the COVID variants floating around and the climate change disasters happening, supplying and transporting goods on a timely basis might become extremely iffy.
I ordered gifts at the beginning of October and some of those gifts took mere days to arrive. Some of the gifts haven’t yet arrived over a month later. I suspect as we near the height of the North American holiday season, delivery will become more sporadic.
Anyhoo… if you can order presents early (and I realize not everyone can do this), please consider doing so. It will take some of the stress out of the holiday season.

Grin And Bare Him And Loving Beings With Faults
Grin, the cyborg hero of Grin And Bare Him (releasing this month!), has two best buddies – Strive and Raw. Neither of these males are perfect. They both have faults.
Grin sees these faults. And they see his faults. The three cyborgs are so comfortable in their caring and their mutual respect they can tease each other about their foibles. (smiles)
And, that, I believe, signals the trust they have in each other. The Humanoid Alliance, their cruel manufacturers, would have decommissioned them, killed them for their faults. But the three males are so secure in their caring for each other they don’t try to hide their weaknesses when they are together.
I think that’s wonderful.

When I find myself being…well… boring (grins) regarding alien worlds, I look to the vast variations of life here on Earth for inspiration.
Look at the variations of colors and shapes in this (dead) moth and butterfly display in the Museum of Science in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Even with the tiniest moths/butterflies, there are exquisite details on the wings.
And the ranges of sizes are wonderful.

Grin And Bare Him – Second Scene Of The First Chapter
I’m sharing scenes from the first chapter of Grin And Bare Him as we wait for its release on November 22nd.
You can read the first scene from the first chapter of Grin And Bare Him here:
http://tasteofcyn.com/?p=10131
This week I’m sharing the second scene of that first chapter.
***
“We’ll determine whose projectile placement is better while we test your panels.” Strive’s eyes glittered. “What are the parameters?”
“We’ll test three panels each.” Grin selected the most viable candidates. “Fifty projectiles in each sheet. Random formation. No repeats. From a distance of four strides away.”
“Even a human could hit a panel from four strides away.” His friend moved that distance from a panel. “Increase the difficulty level, cyborg. Delete that random formation spec and insert a—” He tilted his head. “—floral-formation requirement in its stead.”
“You’ll win that challenge.” Grin hadn’t Strive’s artistry with projectile placements. “But I’ll win also. The panels will be tested.”
“And they’ll be beautiful.” His friend’s head dipped. “Let’s do this.”
Grin searched his processors for an image of a flower that would fill the entire space and test every part of the panel. He then shot in rapid succession, outlining the petals, stem, and leaves.
The projectiles pierced the metal.
Fraggin’ hole. His lips flattened. That material wasn’t usable.
He moved to the next panel, utilized the same image. The projectiles pinged off the surface of the sheet.
That panel would progress to the second stage of testing.
The third sheet, decorated with the identical floral design, also passed the projectile test.
Strive continued to shoot.
Grin inspected the two panels remaining under consideration. The projectiles had dented one of them deeper than the other.
He waited for his friend to complete his testing.
And waited. And waited.
The shooting didn’t stop.
Grin walked to Strive’s side and looked at his target.
The K Model remained on the first panel.
Strive had utilized hundreds of projectiles. Each one had punctured the metal.
The material wasn’t usable, but the result was a work of art. The flowers, leaves, and stems swirled in an elaborate design.
“You won the challenge.” Grin’s design was crude in comparison.
“I discarded the parameters of the test.” Strive’s tone was edged with guilt.
“Maintaining the parameters of the test wouldn’t have changed its results.” Grin shrugged. “I won’t be utilizing that metal on the exterior of a structure.”
He moved to Strive’s second panel, unloaded fifty projectiles into it, shifted to the final panel, did the same.
One of the panels passed the durability test.
“Three materials have made it to the next round of evaluation.” Grin was satisfied with that number.
“Are we blowing the panels up now?” Strive tilted his head and gazed at his design for a heartbeat. He then pressed one of his triggers again.
“Testing them against space debris would be more effective.” Grin grasped one of the winning panels, held it upward, at eye level. “We could attach them to a ship, fly that vessel between the Homeland and one of the unoccupied planets in the sector, evaluate the panels’ conditions when we land.”
“And if they fail that test?” Strive lifted his panel also. Light shone through the puncture marks. “The ship would implode and everyone on board will die.”
“That’s unlikely to happen.” Grin frowned. “There’s a mere 5.1236 percent probability of catastrophic failure.”
“That’s not zero.” His friend’s eyes sparkled. “Only a reckless warrior would volunteer to pilot that ship.”
A being appeared on their internal monitoring systems.
They exchanged a humor-laden glance.
That reckless warrior had presented himself.
“I projected you’d be here.” Raw swaggered into view. “The cyborg council has granted the three of us authorization to trek to Mercury Minor.”
“You’re claiming your female.” Grin was happy for the male.
Raw was one of the thousands of cyborgs who’d been matched with beings rescued by the Rebel faction. Their friend had heard a female’s voice and had processed she was designed for him.
The K model was worthy of that honor. He was a skilled warrior and a good being.
“I’m claiming my female.” Raw’s chin lifted.
Grin swallowed his envy. “You’re a lucky bag of bolts, my friend.” He slapped the male’s right arm.
“You deserve happiness.” Strive punched Raw’s left shoulder. “Frag. We all do.”
His gaze met Grin’s.
They both processed they were unlikely to have genetic matches.
“There are different types of happiness.” Grin summoned a smile. “I’m happy to have an opportunity to further test the panels.”

I continue to work on the first draft of Raw Desires, the third story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in February).
I will be taking a break tomorrow as it is Halloween! YES! I have my candy ready and my decorations out. The spiders helped by installing cobwebs between the front yard fence posts. And the big Maple Tree contributed to the exterior decor by shedding some of its brightly-colored leaves. The place looks awesome!
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (big hugs) I’m wishing you yummy treats and joyous tricks. Feign fear when you see a little kid’s more-adorable-than-scary costume. (grins) Save a couple pieces of Halloween candy for yourself. Feel the magic. It is all around us!

Grin And Bare Him
This cyborg will be the warrior his female requires.
Cyborgs are designed to fight. That is their primary purpose and 98.2356 percent of the manufactured warriors enjoy battle. Tremendously.
Grin, a K model, is one of the rare exceptions. When he escaped his cruel creators, he set down his sword and allocated his processors to less violent pursuits. He projects he’s left his war-waging planet rotations behind him forever.
Then he meets his beautiful, beguiling female, the one being he’s destined to protect, to claim, to love for all eternity, and his plans for peace are completely decimated.
Mohini needs a ship.
She has a dangerous mission to complete and the first step in that assignment is arranging transport to an enemy-controlled planet. The vessel she has set her sights on is guarded by the sexiest cyborg she’s ever seen.
To gain access to his ship, Mohini is prepared to kiss, caress, seduce the muscular male. The mission is her focus. The pleasure she experiences will merely be a bonus.
A female has to do what a female has to do to save the universe.
Grin And Bare Him is a Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a humanoid female undertaking a dangerous mission, a cyborg intent on keeping her alive, and an enemy with enough firepower to blow up an entire sector.

Preparing For Halloween
Halloween is my favorite celebration of the year. Yes, I love it more than my birthday. (grins)
I love the tiny chocolate bars. I feel like a giant when I eat them. I love giving these chocolate bars out (with the small bags of potato chips and some fun stickers) to kiddies. I love seeing all the costumes. I love jack o’lanterns and fall leaves. This is super fun for me.
I have new pumpkin pails to put the candy I’m giving out in. Pails, plural, because every Halloween, toddlers walk off with them and I don’t have the heart to take them back. (grins)
I’m wishing you joy and fun during this special celebration and beyond it. (big hugs)
