Title - Pets in Space 8
Meet Ellie and Levi!
In The Cyborg Way, the settlements on the terraformed Mars (still a
work in progress) are coming along slowly.
Ellie is one of the rare
human females who has taken Earth Government’s offer to claim a homestead on
Mars. She and her mother had intended to work the claim together, but Ellie’s
mother passed away before she could make the trip. Ellie is determined to
succeed, not only for herself but in honor of her mother. Because of her past,
she prefers to remain isolated but that doesn’t mean she isn’t lonely. Her only
visitor is the gruff, attractive cyborg ranger in charge of her territory.
Levi was a soldier in the
Earth military. Because all he knew was military life, he chose to become a
cyborg after he was terribly wounded, even though it meant giving up his
humanity. Although life on Mars is cold and lonely, he likes being useful and
is resigned to his existence - until a pretty new settler arrives in his
territory. He knows she’d never be interested in a cynical older soldier like
him, especially one who is no longer human, but he is determined to watch over
her and keep her safe.
This is when Ellie and Levi (L-485) first meet:
Ellie had seen some of the
cyborg rangers in town before she left, but this was the first time she’d ever
been close to one. Her eyes widened as he came to her side and she looked up at
him - way up - his sheer size making her feel ridiculously small, and he
immediately took a step back.
“Um, hi. I’m Ellie.”
“I am L-485.”
He looked down at her, and
her breath caught as their eyes met for the first time. His were stern and grey
and might have been intimidating, but instead she felt an immediate connection
to the big male. For a brief second she thought she saw a similar response on
his face, but then he looked away, his face hardening.
“You have not completed your habitat,” he said gruffly.
