Then
he met her. Mariska. Beautiful. Innocent. Ignorant of her father’s
atrocities. And marked for death.
His
orders said nothing about saving her. But he did. He went
off-mission.
Can
a rogue cyborg outrun both Cyber Operations and the terrorists to
save the woman he loves?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excerpt:
Mariska’s
dress dragged along the metal floor as she headed for the general’s
receiving room. People glanced at R981, but the android could have
been alone for all the notice they paid her. Her veil seemed to
render her invisible.
If only
she could truly disappear. Years had passed since the last summons.
Why had her father called her? Nervousness slickened her palms, and
she had to concentrate to avoid wiping them and leaving a telltale
stain on her clothing. The only thing worse than being afraid was
showing it. At least her voluminous skirt hid her wobbling knees.
Outside her father’s fortified headquarters, she halted and took a
deep breath. I can do this. I can do this.
“You
are nervous,” stated R981 in his stilted, but gravelly voice. No
other android had vocals like his. His rumbling tone vibrated through
her in a most disturbing way.
“No,
I’m not,” she quickly refuted. Fear was a flaw. Flaws were
punished. Although R981 was assigned to her, he had been programmed
to report misbehavior and anomalies to her father.
The
solid black orbs of his robotic eyes blinked once. “I detect pupil
constriction, increased perspiration and respiration, which indicate
fear.”
“I
believe you are mistaken and require a full diagnostic. How long has
it been since your last maintenance overhaul?”
“I am
a new model entered into service five weeks ago. I do not require
maintenance for another fifty-five point four days.”
She
needed to shore up her courage, but R981 pulled open the door, making
it clear he served her father. Just like the other droids.
