Cyborg Offspring And Maturity
Cyborgs are designed to physically mature within a solarcycle (a year). This accelerated growth was necessary as the Humanoid Alliance neededtheir manufactured warriors ready to fight as soon as possible. They didn’thave the luxury of a long childhood.
While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, cyborgsmatured emotionally quickly also.
All the memories, the knowledge of their predecessors were automaticallytransferred to their internal databases. This happens now with the freeborn offspring.Every cyborg with access to transmissions knows their kind’s dark and harshhistory.
But what, I believe, really speeded the Humanoid Alliancemanufactured cyborgs’ emotional maturity was their brutal training. They sawfriends die, were forced to kill their brethren in the training rings. They endedlifespans as soon as they could hold a blade, saw the cruelty of their handlers.That destroyed their innocence, forced them to grow up quickly.
Many of the freeborn offspring haven’t experienced this.Their parents, other cyborgs have protected them as much as they can from theharshness of the universe. Other cyborgs look out for them. Many of them haven’tbeen on missions and any missions they do participate in are likely to be safe,devoid of death and violence.
They have retained their innocence, haven’t been forced togrow up as quickly. Many of them act more like teenagers than adults. They’veheard about bad things happening but haven’t experienced those bad thingsdirectly.
Cadet, however, had a different upbringing. The leader ofthe Rebel Cyborgs has seen violence and danger and death and has experiencedpain. The C Model is fully mature…in all ways, is the equal of the retrievedcyborgs…and a certain nemesis.

Containing Malice
This tormented cyborg craves vengeance…and her.
***
Malice, a C Model cyborg, has spent his long lifespan enslaved by the Humanoid Alliance. His cruel manufacturers have hurt him in all the ways a male could be hurt.
His enemy has now added a new weapon to their arsenal—a tiny human medic with soft hands and a delectable scent. She experiments on him multiple times a shift, delivering pain…and frustration.
He wants her. He also seeks retribution.
Once Malice frees himself, he plans to achieve both of his goals, taking Medic Illona captive and ending her research…permanently.
Illona is as much a prisoner as the cyborgs she experiments on. Since her arrival at the Human Alliance’s secret laboratory, she has carefully, stealthily, crafted a plot to free her test subjects. To conceal her covert activities, the medic has been forced to harm beings rather than heal them.
The being she has damaged the most is also the cyborg she fiercely desires— Malice, a huge, gray-skinned, blue-eyed C Model with massive hands and a voice deeper than space. He hates her, has good reason to do so, and, when he’s freed, there’s a high probability he’ll kill her.
Illona will take that risk to ensure he survives.
