Cyborgs are enigmas. Living, yet not living. Living tissue over robotic functions. Almost indistinguishable from a human being. Supposedly without emotions or human desires. They follow orders without questions. But Talon does not fit those parameters all of the time. In the beginning, Talon enjoys many of his missions, but that soon changes. The simple human desire not to be alone becomes almost overwhelming. The government wants him to commit to a deep space mission, which may take years to complete.
