\"csCrash_and_Burn\"Where are you from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u2019m now dedicated to freeing the rest of the cyborg warriors.<\/p>\n

What is your main purpose in life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wish to free my cyborg brethren from the Humanoid Alliance. I organize their escape. I don\u2019t normally take part in them. Killing is often necessary and I\u2019ve vowed to never kill another being.<\/p>\n

Who is your greatest enemy and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Do you think you can ever reconcile with this enemy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No. Once we\u2019ve freed all of the cyborgs from the Humanoid Alliance, I will have nothing more to do with them.<\/p>\n

Do you have a love interest?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Safyre, a reckless human female, is the only being I\u2019m interested in. She\u2019s intent on risking her lifespan. I\u2019m determined to stop her.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve only communicated over the transmission lines. She believes I\u2019m a human. She believes I plan to help her. She thinks I can\u2019t hear her private conversations.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n

Do you have a code of honor?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a cyborg. (stands straighter) Cyborgs have honor. It may appear that I don\u2019t because I\u2019m deceiving my female but I\u2019ve never lied to her. Cyborgs don\u2019t have that ability. She\u2019s solely responsible for her erroneous assumptions.<\/p>\n

If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I shouldn\u2019t have answered my Safyre\u2019s transmissions. My communications with my reckless female encouraged her. But I couldn\u2019t resist her husky voice. Awareness had flowed through my circuits. I was enthralled by her.<\/p>\n

Name one person you trust.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Crash And Burn<\/strong><\/h1>\n

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\u2019t enjoy killing. When he escapes the Humanoid Alliance, he vows to never end another life.<\/p>\n

Then he meets Safyre, an infuriating human female, and he considers breaking his vow.<\/p>\n

Safyre will do anything to save her friend, the being she loves like a sister. She\u2019ll 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\u2019t divert her from her mission.<\/p>\n

Love, and a planet-destroying weapon, however, might stop her permanently.<\/p>\n

The following excerpt from Crash and Burn is for readers 18 and over.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/strong><\/p>\n

Female.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not talking to you.<\/em><\/strong> Safyre continued to be angry with him the next planet rotation. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Metal rang as she banged around her ship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crash wasn\u2019t certain how he\u2019d upset her. She hadn\u2019t yet discovered he was a cyborg, that he wasn\u2019t 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\u2019t realize he never planned to escort her to Tau Ceti.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those revelations would anger her. She\u2019d be especially livid when she discovered that, once he apprehended her, she\u2019d never again be free.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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\u2019s ship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crash had never lied to her during any of their communications. He couldn\u2019t. Cyborgs had been programmed to always tell the truth. But he hadn\u2019t corrected her erroneous assumptions either.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He doubted his lack of lies would dampen her ire.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels strange, Rage not being here,\u201d Gap expressed Crash\u2019s feelings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The three of them had been a team for over a human lifespan. Crash expected to glance behind him and see the C model\u2019s scarred face.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBut if I was him, I\u2019d never leave the Freedom either.\u201d The kid\u2019s humanlike eyes shone. \u201cHe has found Joan, his female. Why would he spend one planet rotation without her?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joan wasn\u2019t the reason Rage hadn\u2019t 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\u2019s already volatile temper. He\u2019d have threatened to kill some being by now.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRage says breeding with the right female is better than battle,\u201d Gap chattered. \u201cCan you envision that? There\u2019s nothing better than battle.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crash didn\u2019t enjoy battle and he couldn\u2019t envision that.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He indulged his friend\u2019s 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He\u2019d claim Safyre. He\u2019d already decided that. But she would never be his true female, not like Joan was Rage\u2019s female and Mira was Vapor\u2019s female. The nanocybotics he transferred to her would fade, not replicate, grow weaker, not stronger. She\u2019d age and eventually die. They\u2019d never have offspring. <\/strong><\/p>\n

She\u2019d never love him.<\/strong><\/p>\n
