Under Strain And Communities On Mercury Minor
Mercury Minor is, first and foremost, Ghost and Lethe’s home. They ‘rule’ the planet. They brought it back from the dead, cleaned it up, made it inhabitable.
Ghost requires space. He requires quiet and he requires terrain he can protect, a place where he can feel safe. A section of the planet will always belong exclusively to him and to Lethe.
Some newly rescued warriors also require quiet, less populated places, places inhabited by only cyborgs and no other species. There will be a few severely damaged warriors who never become accustomed to sharing spaces with other species.
There is land set aside for them on Mercury Minor.
Most cyborgs, however, like having beings around them. They were manufactured in huge batches. They trained all together. They were stored together, fought together. Now that they are freed, they often want to stay together. They don’t mind crowded sites. Those can be comforting for them.
The largest communities on Mercury Minor are allocated to these cyborgs.
Cyborgs who have found their genetic matches often want to have their own semi-private spaces and their own communities. Their genetic matches have unique needs, especially around socialization, and they feel more comfortable being around beings like them, beings who are going through similar experiences.
There are some smaller communities on Mercury Minor reserved for these small and growing families. Often, the not-yet-matched non-cyborg beings are situated in these communities too.
As Mercury Minor evolves, the communities will, of course, change. But right now, this set up works for the Rebel Cyborgs and their genetic matches.

Under Strain
A damaged cyborg warrior is hunted by a peace-loving human female.
***
Strain is severely malfunctioning. The D Model cyborg was the sole survivor after a horrific decision was made by his cruel manufacturers. He hates all humans, and when he attacks one who is under his cyborg leader’s protection, he is reprimanded, stripped of his weapons, and told to watch and not actively participate in the next mission.
That mission takes place on a small remote planet. Its lush terrain should only be inhabited by the cyborgs they were sent to rescue, but Strain senses another presence on the surface. She is watching him, tracking him, hunting him.
A fully operational cyborg would end her lifespan.
Strain wants to claim her. Forever.
Kamyelle is the only one left of her kind. Warriors have killed the other nonviolent human inhabitants of her planet. She survived…barely…by hiding in the trees, observing her enemies, and covering herself with lifeform scan-concealing mud.
When a handsome, gray-skinned, brilliant-blue-eyed male arrives, surrounded by weapon-carrying warriors, she has to save him. Warriors harm and they kill. That is what they do.
She won’t allow them to hurt Strain.
***
Under Strain is a STANDALONE Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a broken warrior, a human female who thinks he’s perfect, and velociraptor-like dinosaurs who view them both as light, tasty snacks.

Under Strain And Mudholes
The scene in Under Strain that took the most research and time to write was the theropod in the mudhole scene.
Getting the theropod stuck in the mud wasn’t the challenge. (grins) Some of the best-preserved dinosaur fossils currently in existence are those of creatures that became stuck in mud and couldn’t escape it. Getting stuck in mudholes happened.
But quite often the dinosaur also died, especially if they were as deeply stuck as the theropod in Under Strain was. Getting the dinosaur OUT of the mudhole is the challenge.
Especially as Kamyelle, our human heroine, is much smaller and lighter than theropod.
There are quite a few articles and videos showing how people have helped free cows and horses from mudholes. Deep mud continues to be a peril for large animals.
Getting animals unstuck often requires a variety of tactics. To free the theropod, Kamyelle used building traction (throwing the branches into the mudhole), use of a winch (the rope attached to the tree – this was okay for the theropod as they have tough hides and huge necks but it could be an extremely dangerous tactic for a horse or cow) and most importantly, working quickly before the dinosaur became overly tired. Unless the rescue team is huge, a large animal has to be able to help with the process.

Librarians And The Pandemic
When the groups that are helping us all cope with and survive the pandemic are listed, librarians are often overlooked.
Librarian have played essential roles during this pandemic.
The crisis is far from over, of course. We’re still in lockdown in my corner of the universe. Libraries, the physical buildings, are currently closed to the public.
But librarians are working hard and often harder than they worked previously.
Contactless pickups and drop-offs are available to all patrons. That takes skill and effort to arrange. Books, print, digital, audio, etc, are being added to collections.
Online seminars on topics like dealing with stress or searching for jobs during a pandemic are being hosted. Even while physically closed, libraries continue to be sources of information and knowledge.
Whenever I pass the neighborhood library, it doesn’t matter what time it is, there are people, often students, seated outside the library, with their phones and laptops and other devices in their hands or laps, using the library’s Wi-Fi.
The schools in my area sent kids home with devices so they could continue their schooling online. They didn’t provide them with Wi-Fi.
Local libraries are supplying that essential service for many residents. (Especially with coffee shops and other Wi-Fi friendly places being closed.)
Libraries and librarians also distributed food during the pandemic, becoming outlets for food banks. They helped to ensure residents didn’t go hungry.
Currently, many librarians are phoning older residents, telling them about vaccination opportunities, putting them in contact with organizations if they require help.
Librarians are helping in a gazillion other, often semi-invisible, ways to ensure we get through this crisis. I appreciate libraries and librarians so much for all they have done and continue to do. (big hugs)

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – May 16th
Woot! Under Strain released this week! I hope you enjoyed reading this story as much as I enjoyed writing it.
I wish to return to the dinosaur planet in the future. The cyborgs had so much fun while visiting it.
This week, I started writing B Free, the fourth story in Rebel Cyborgs (releasing in November). I had a few false starts as I often do. It is challenging to figure out the best place to start stories. Often I’ll start a story too late or too early. But I already love B Free. B, the last of his Model type, really pulls at my heartstrings.
I’ll continue to write fresh chapters in it this upcoming week. Yes. (sheepish grin) Updates are a bit unexciting while I’m writing the first draft. I will be writing, writing, writing every week until the story is completed.
And I’ll likely have book brain in a big way. I get sucked into a story and that’s all I can think about. If I email you back and I don’t make much sense, that’s why.
Have a wonderful week, my friends. (group hugs) Read some awesome romance novels. Treat yourself to some great food. Spend some time in nature if you can do that. Find some joy. You deserve it.

The Month Of May
I love May. (smiles) I love most months but May is still solidly in Spring in my part of the universe and that is my favorite season. I love the animal and bird births and the re-emergence of all the greenery.
May was named for Maia, one of Pleiades in Greek mythology (a star cluster is named after the Pleiades). Maia is perhaps best known as being the mother of Hermes, the herald of the gods. (Hermes’ father was Zeus.)
I find that apt as Mother’s Day in North America happens in May. A month ago, I ordered my Awesome Mom a bouquet of yellow roses, her favorite flowers, for Mother’s Day from a local florist. She loved them. And I LOVE the ability to order gifts far in advance. That helps when I get sucked deep into the writing cave.
Some of my beloved reading buddies and fellow writers are named May and I am thinking of them this month. (group hugs)
I’m wishing everyone a wonderful May!

Under Strain, Warriors And Pacifists
Kamyelle, the heroine of Under Strain, before she meets Strain, has a healthy dislike for warriors, weapons and anyone or anything else associated with war.
Her kind were peaceful beings. Before their planet was invaded by the Humanoid Alliance, they had plenty of food and other resources for everyone. They had no concept of war or battle.
When the war-obsessed Humanoid Alliance arrived…well…you can imagine how the locals fared. Kamyelle witnessed all of the that.
She doesn’t see the need for weapons. They are only used to hurt and kill. And she doesn’t see the need to kill others.
Strain, the hero of Under Strain, is a cyborg warrior. He was designed for battle, for killing beings and he has done quite a bit of that over his long lifespan. He seems to be an unlikely love interest for someone who hates war.
The universe is a surprising place, however. (grins)

Under Strain And Joining Cadet’s Team
By the time we meet up with Cadet in Containing Malice, the leader of the Rebel Cyborgs and her warriors have rescued thousands of their cyborg brethren.
There ARE other rescue teams at this point in time. As ships are obtained, more rescue teams are formed. That expediates the retrievals of their trapped brethren.
But there’s only one team led by Cadet. It was the first of its kind and it is perceived as the best. Every warrior on the team has a special connection to its leader.
In Under Strain, we find out why Strain, a fairly new member of the team, was chosen for a coveted role on Cadet’s team. He reminds her of someone she dearly loves.
Cadet has a soft spot for the severely damaged warrior. She believes he’s skilled. She wouldn’t place the rest of her team in danger by adding someone who wasn’t skilled. But she also cares for him.
As she cares for every member of her team.

Under Strain – Why You Should Pre-order
Under Strain, the 2nd standalone story in the Rebel Cyborg series, releases tomorrow (tonight if you’ve pre-ordered)! Woot! I’m so excited for you to read this romance!
You might be wondering why I’m posting about pre-ordering it today.
Well… for one, if you pre-order Under Strain, you receive it tonight. You could be one of the first readers in the world to read it and that’s super cool.
But the biggest reason is to avoid spoilers. There WILL be spoilers posted. Likely as reviews on bookseller sites. Pre-ordering allows you to more easily avoid those.
When you DO read Under Strain, remember that I’m just an email away if you have any questions or comment. (tackle hugs) There is always more about the story and about characters in my head than I could ever capture on the page so beware! You could receive a very long email back!
Woot!
