Teenage Cyborgs
Future, Vector and Kasia’s son, makes an appearance in
Testing Truth. We find out more about this freeborn C Model and his challenges
on board the Reckless, reporting to his extremely protective Dad.
Future is physically fully mature. Cyborgs reach that point
within one solar cycle (one year). Emotionally…well…he’s a teenager. He might
have a little more control over his moods WHEN he wants to have that control.
His processors and other mechanics assist with that. But when he’s acting
without restrictions, he’s similar to a human teenager.
Young cyborgs, under Humanoid Alliance control, didn’t have
the luxury of acting like human teenagers. Their training was severe. If they
expressed emotion, they were decommissioned. If they refused commands or talked
back, they suffered the same fate.
So the freeborn cyborgs are the first generation to have that experience. It is almost…a privilege (though I suspect their parents don’t always view it as that). And it will make them very different from their parents.

Testing Truth
A fun-loving cyborg gets serious about love.
***
Truth lives each moment as though it were his last. The
cyborg warrior rushes into danger, teases beings he shouldn’t provoke, accepts
every call of adventure he encounters.
When a prissy little human princess floats into the Rebel
structure Truth is occupying, seeking a mercenary to assist her and her unusual
entourage, he volunteers to be her warrior. She claims their assignment is
dangerous, warns him he might not survive the task.
That is exactly the type of fun he has been seeking.
Princess Nanette of the planet Royaume must rescue her
estranged brother from an enemy prison ship. That is her duty, and she has been
trained to always place the needs of her planet and her subjects before her
own. Nancy doesn’t have the freedom to indulge her passions for a certain
dark-haired, gray-skinned cyborg. Not permanently and not publicly.
But she is unable to resist the warrior. Truth, with his
laughing eyes, smiling lips, and rough hands, tempts her as no one else ever
has. He could be her one fleeting act of rebellion before she’s matched with
the powerful ruler her planet requires.
If they survive their current mission.
Their love is doomed. Their lifespans are at risk. This
cyborg and his princess will need the help of every ally they have if they wish
to see another sunrise.
