Where are you from?

I was manufactured by the Humanoid Alliance. I recently escaped their cruel clutches with my friends Rage and Gap and many of my brethren. I’m now dedicated to freeing the rest of the cyborg warriors.

What is your main purpose in life?

I wish to free my cyborg brethren from the Humanoid Alliance. I organize their escape. I don’t normally take part in them. Killing is often necessary and I’ve vowed to never kill another being.

Who is your greatest enemy and why?

The Humanoid Alliance has tortured and killed many of my cyborg brethren. Some of the humans are kind and worthy of living but these humans are few. Most will have to die. Not at my hand. There are other cyborgs who enjoy killing.

Do you think you can ever reconcile with this enemy?

No. Once we’ve freed all of the cyborgs from the Humanoid Alliance, I will have nothing more to do with them.

Do you have a love interest?

Safyre, a reckless human female, is the only being I’m interested in. She’s intent on risking her lifespan. I’m determined to stop her.

We’ve only communicated over the transmission lines. She believes I’m a human. She believes I plan to help her. She thinks I can’t hear her private conversations.

She’s wrong.

Do you have a code of honor?

I’m a cyborg. (stands straighter) Cyborgs have honor. It may appear that I don’t because I’m deceiving my female but I’ve never lied to her. Cyborgs don’t have that ability. She’s solely responsible for her erroneous assumptions.

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

I shouldn’t have answered my Safyre’s transmissions. My communications with my reckless female encouraged her. But I couldn’t resist her husky voice. Awareness had flowed through my circuits. I was enthralled by her.

Name one person you trust.

I trust Rage and Gap, my two closest friends. Rage is preoccupied with his Joan and Gap is fixated on finding the females from the birthing class. But both males would die for me if that sacrifice were needed. And I would die for them.

Crash And Burn

Crash was manufactured to be one of the best warriors in the universe. The cyborg has spent many human lifespans fighting the enemy. But, unlike his battle-loving brethren, he doesn’t enjoy killing. When he escapes the Humanoid Alliance, he vows to never end another life.

Then he meets Safyre, an infuriating human female, and he considers breaking his vow.

Safyre will do anything to save her friend, the being she loves like a sister. She’ll ravish a huge hunky cyborg, kiss his best friend, and invoke scorching hot desires the male never realized he could feel. Dark soulful eyes, a quick wit, and a tempestuous passion won’t divert her from her mission.

Love, and a planet-destroying weapon, however, might stop her permanently.

Excerpt

Female.

I’m not talking to you. Safyre continued to be angry with him the next planet rotation.

Metal rang as she banged around her ship.

Crash wasn’t certain how he’d upset her. She hadn’t yet discovered he was a cyborg, that he wasn’t the human male she thought him to be, or that, due to her B Model communications device, he could hear everything she said or did. She didn’t realize he never planned to escort her to Tau Ceti.

Those revelations would anger her. She’d be especially livid when she discovered that, once he apprehended her, she’d never again be free.

He sat on the bridge of the ship, only half listening as Gap, his friend, chattered about kill rates and the various females in the Academy’s birthing class, females neither of them were ever likely to meet. He applied most of his processors to scanning the sector around them, looking for Safyre’s ship.

Crash had never lied to her during any of their communications. He couldn’t. Cyborgs had been programmed to always tell the truth. But he hadn’t corrected her erroneous assumptions either.

He doubted his lack of lies would dampen her ire.

“It feels strange, Rage not being here,” Gap expressed Crash’s feelings.

The three of them had been a team for over a human lifespan. Crash expected to glance behind him and see the C model’s scarred face.

“But if I was him, I’d never leave the Freedom either.” The kid’s humanlike eyes shone. “He has found Joan, his female. Why would he spend one planet rotation without her?”

Joan wasn’t the reason Rage hadn’t accompanied them. There would always be a space for her on their ship. The reason was Rage. He had no patience. The waiting would have strained the primitive cyborg’s already volatile temper. He’d have threatened to kill some being by now.

“Rage says breeding with the right female is better than battle,” Gap chattered. “Can you envision that? There’s nothing better than battle.”

Crash didn’t enjoy battle and he couldn’t envision that.

He indulged his friend’s reveries and talked about finding his female but, in his big cyborg heart, he never expected to find that almost mythical being. Crash was aware that his matte-black eyes scared others. He was also cognizant that his revulsion for violence made him different from his cyborg brethren.

He’d claim Safyre. He’d already decided that. But she would never be his true female, not like Joan was Rage’s female and Mira was Vapor’s female. The nanocybotics he transferred to her would fade, not replicate, grow weaker, not stronger. She’d age and eventually die. They’d never have offspring.

She’d never love him.
