Provoking Odium – First Scene Of The First Chapter
The official countdown to the release day of Provoking Odium, the first story in the Cyborg Unity series, has started! Woot!
While we wait for Provoking Odium to release on June 21st, I’ll be sharing the first chapter, starting today with the very first scene.
***
Chapter One
“Fly away, fighter pilot. Fly away.” Briella belted out the lyrics of the popular Tegmen tune.
Her singing was loud and gloriously off-key. There was no one on the bridge, in her modified freighter, or in the universe who cared about her voice…or about her.
That freed her to do whatever she wished.
And what she wished to do right now was vocally murder her favorite song.
“Wage war on another heart.” She guided her ship toward Praecipua Trois as she repeated the soul-wrenching refrain. “There’s nothing left of mine. Ohhhhhhh…”
She extended that note into an ear-splitting wail and gunned the engines.
The fighting on the planet’s surface was already visible on the main viewscreen. Plumes from explosions billowed over the land masses. The Humanoid Alliance sought to decimate the more-peaceful local population and, by the looks of it, they were close to achieving that horrific goal.
“Fly away, fighter pilot. Fly away.” She sang louder, trying to drown out the tension building inside her. Her fingers splayed over the control panel. She flew her freighter faster toward the battle site.
Her ship would land in time for her to save the locals. Briella jutted her jaw. The beings were depending on her. She—
A light flashed on the console. She smacked the mute button. Silence fell on the bridge.
She opened communications. “If your credits are good, I’m your pilot.”
“A mercenary approach to life won’t fuel your soul, Beast,” Levi-Lucas the Third informed her prissily. Her contact at Beings For Peace had a stick the size of a support beam stuck up his ass. “We’re saving lives. That’s much more important than credits.”
“It’s not much more important to me,” she lied. There were easier ways to earn credits. She accepted the rescue missions for more-private reasons. “They don’t call me Beast merely because of my pretty face.” She skimmed her fingertips over one of the scars on her left cheek. “Some beings claim I have no soul.”
One of those beings had spat that declaration at her half a lifespan ago while he carved flesh off her face. She had screamed with agony and fought like the demon he believed her to be. The male, a father of a friend, had sought to gouge out her processor-equipped mechanical left eye. His efforts fortunately had been inept. Her father had stopped him before he was successful.
“Everyone has a soul.” Levi-Lucas the Third’s tone relayed he had doubts about that.
Great. Her lips twisted. She’d convinced another being she was evil. “Whatcha got for me?”
“This mission is dangerous.” He stated that obvious fact. The Beings For Peace operative only needed her for the treacherous tasks. “It’s too risky for any of my pilots.”
She, in contrast, was disposable. No one would miss her if she died.
“You don’t have to sell me on this assignment, LLTT.” She forced the lightness in her voice. “I’m in. Give me the coordinates.”
“It’s a pickup – twenty-eight locals.” He sent her their location. “They’re trapped in a dormant volcano. There’s only one exit to the site, and the Humanoid Alliance has it blocked. I doubt even you can pull off this rescue, but if you do, drop them at the usual location—the first friendly planet. We’ll take it from there.”
“Is there any intel on the opposing forces?” She wanted to know what she’d be facing. “Are the Humanoid Alliance using robots or any of those scary undead fuckers to fight this war?”
Those warriors didn’t care if they were blown to pieces, which made them pains in the ass to evade. They kept coming and coming and coming.
“The Humanoid Alliance has utilized exclusively humans for the fighting thus far,” Levi-Lucas the Third confirmed.
That was strange. She frowned. The Humanoid Alliance rarely risked their own kind.
But she was happy for that deviation. It upped her chances of surviving the mission.
“Gotcha.” She planned her route. “Consider this done.”
“You truly are a beast—fearless and—”
Briella ended the transmission, severing the male’s insincere fawning. She didn’t risk her lifespan for his empty words.
An image flashed through her mind. An older male with her coloring hugged an older female sporting a chin like hers. Another female and another male crowded around them. They all had their natural eyes, and they were smiling.
She touched the goggles hanging around her neck. Her family might’ve rejected her, might’ve sent her away without uttering any goodbyes, but she’d never stopped loving them, never stopped wishing they’d accept her communications, reach out to her.
When they finally contacted her, it’d been too late. “I couldn’t save you.”
Her pride had killed them. That guilt would cling to her forever.
She wouldn’t add more regrets to her vast collection. “I’ll rescue these beings.” She returned both of her palms to the control panel and scanned all possible routes to the pickup site.
That task took mere heartbeats. Her lips flattened. Her Beings For Peace contact had been right. There was only one viable entry point into the dormant volcano.
Water, long evaporated, had carved a pathway through the base of the funnel. The gap was close to the dry riverbed. Its span was an arm’s length wider than her ship.
That was why those beings remained alive. The Humanoid Alliance warships were larger than her freighter. They couldn’t fly through the gap.
And the human forces wouldn’t enter by foot. That was too risky.
They couldn’t advance.
But the locals were also trapped. The enemy waited with their missiles and their killing machines outside the circle of rock. The Praecipuans would eventually run out of food, would be forced to exit.
And then the Humanoid Alliance would slaughter them as they had slaughtered her family.
“Like Hyadum I’ll allow that to happen.” Briella steered her ship along the riverbed’s path.

Doing Things Not-So-Well
Briella, the human heroine of Provoking Odium, the first story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in June), is a terrible singer. She can’t hold a tune to save her lifespan. (grins)
But she LOVES to sing. It brings her joy. And she is often alone so there’s no one to hear her sing. She can rock the tunes and belt out the lyrics to her heart’s content.
I can’t sing either. I realize that. My voice is all over the place. But I also love to sing and, when I’m alone or with the Dear Wonderful Hubby, I do that…enthusiastically.
And stars, it gives me as much joy as it gives Briella.
Happiness is a gift. Do things that give you joy, my friends…even if you can’t do them well.

Cynthia Sax Weekly Update – May15th
The final file for Provoking Odium, the first story in the Cyborg Unity series, has been loaded to booksellers. It is good to go for the June release day. Woot!
I continue to write the first draft of Grin And Bare Him, the second story in the series, and it is action-packed thus far. Grin and his humanoid heroine are so much fun together. And they have sizzling chemistry.
Have an absolutely terrific week, my friends. (tackle hugs) Read a new-to-you writer or series. Tell a loved one (human, fur baby, plants) you adore them. Make a silly face in the mirror. Be as emotionally daring as you can be. It is good to do that once in a while. That tends to expand our worlds.

The Beings You Don’t Yet Know
The first chapter of Provoking Odium, the first story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in June), features the adventures of Briella, the story’s human heroine.
Often I’ll start with the cyborg’s adventures. But, if you read Seizing Power, you know Odium quite well and you know how his story will start. You don’t yet know Briella, the freighter captain. You don’t know why she’s doing what she’s doing in Seizing Power.
And wowsers, she’d doing quite a bit, especially in that first chapter. It is action-packed! I can’t wait to share this story with you!

Provoking Odium And Mercury Minor
The Cyborg Unity series is exactly what it sounds like it is – a series that meshes the two cyborg factions.
Provoking Odium, the first story in the series (releasing in June), is set on Mercury Minor, the Rebel Cyborgs’ Home Planet, and two other new-to-us planets.
The next story, Grin And Bare Him (likely releasing in October), will be set on the Cyborg Homeland, Mercury Minor and other new-to-us planets.
The stories after that? I’m not certain where they’ll be set.

Throwback Thursday – Warlord’s Mercy
I have a thing for the bad boys, the heroes who might not be heroes in many people’s eyes, the males who live their lives by their own moral codes, their own rules.
Tolui, the hero of Warlord’s Mercy, is definitely one of those heroes. (grins) He wasn’t supposed to be a hero at all. I had envisioned him as the big baddie, the warrior the Warlord brothers would eventually defeat…permanently.
Tolui refused to die. He had a mission and, dang it, that mission was noble.
Then he met Lea, his fated mate, his gerel and I knew he needed his own story. He deserved happiness.
Other Chameles view him as theenemy.
She sees the warrior hero he neverbelieved he could be.
* * *
Tolui is a Warlord in search of a planetto rule. He has been leading his fellow clones in a stealth battle, fightingfor both control of the Chamele sector and the right to exist. The brave warriorshe commands warrant respect, and they deserve the best.
That best isn’t the barren,dangerous terrain on Chamele 4. When Tolui crashes on that planet’s surface, he’sdetermined to leave it as soon as possible. The tiny human female rescuing himmight be as beautiful and as wild as the land she inhabits, but her flowingwords, trusting gaze, and enthralling submission won’t stop him from rejoiningthe war.
After many solar cycles of livingalone, Lea is overjoyed when a tall, scarred, muscular warrior falls from the sky.Her savage stranger is strong and severe, and he makes her feel safe, anemotion she hasn’t experienced in a long, long time.
He also insists they must part.Before they do, she’ll show him the splendor of her home, and she’ll enjoy hisbig form, collecting passionate moments she can revisit when she’s solitary oncemore.
Every additional moment Lea andTolui spend together increases the chance they’ll both die. Lea is being chasedby female-hating fiends. Tolui is being hunted by the best bounty hunters inthe universe. War will soon arrive on their threshold, and the blood spilledmight be their own.
* * *
Warlord’s Mercy is based on a muchshorter story sharing the same title.
It is a STANDALONE Alien BarbarianSciFi Romance featuring a villain turned hero and a brave, chatty heroine setin a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
Warlord’s Mercy is the fifth of sixcore stories in the Chamele Barbarian Warlord series.
Book 1: Warlord Sky
Book 2: Warlord’s Bounty
Book 3: Warlord Unarmed
Book 4: Warlord Reunited

Cruise Ships And Spaceships
The spaceships in my cyborg and alien romances are based on water-navigating ships and navies here on Earth. That is a standard in SciFi Romance. Star Trek, for example, heavily borrows from the navy.
This ‘borrowing’ is one of the many reasons I like to take cruises. They serve as inspiration and references for my stories. I go on ship tours. I talk to the crew. Usually, some of the officers have served in their country’s navy. I learn terminology, hear a gazillion stories and uncover strategies.
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I take precautions, of course. The pandemic is still happening. But cruises are great food for my muse.

Actions Vs Words
Briella, aka Beast, the heroine of Provoking Odium, the first story in the Cyborg Unity series (releasing in June), talks tough. If we listen solely to her words, she seems like an unfeeling, grumpy, materialistic being, someone who doesn’t grant anyone favors or leniency, a being who cares only about herself.
In reality, she’s a complete softie. She would trade her lifespan to save a stranger’s in a heartbeat. She would die before intentionally hurting someone’s feelings. Favors are granted without a word. She’s a friend any being would love to have.
I love her generous, giving heart. Her actions truly speak louder than her words.

Dresses For Princess Nancy
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I walked into Camille La Vie in New York and we spotted some dresses we thought Princess Nancy (from Testing Truth) would love.
They are, of course, pink. (grins)
I LOVE how sparkly this dress is. Princess Nancy would look like starlight while wearing it.
The full skirts on this dress could conceal weapons…which would suit the battle-ready Princess.
Of course, she’d need a tiara for each of these ensembles. (grins)
I love the butterfly tiara in this stock photo! It is delicate and whimsical.
