An interview with Kai Andros,hero of Mated with the CyborgBy Cara BristolWhat is something people would be surprised to know about you?That I’m a cyborg. I’m human, but I have a computer chip in my brain, robotic cells circulating in my blood, and a couple of prosthetic limbs. So you could say, I’m part man, part machine, but to the naked eye, I look like a Terran.
What was the scariest moment of your life?When I was in the Terran military my shuttle crashed, killing my teammates. I was critically injured, and lost a leg. The military rehabbed me the best they could, but my military career, life as I knew it, was over. The prospect of living the rest of my life like that scared me to death. Then the Cyber Operations director offered me a deal I couldn’t refuse: become a cyborg and join his covert paramilitary organization. I jumped at the chance and never looked back.
What are you passionate about these days?Defeating terrorism in the galaxy. Finding and executing Lamani, the illusive, reclusive leader of Lamis-Ogd. General Obido, one of Lamani’s henchman, probably knows where he is. My plan is to sneak aboard Obido’s space station disguised as his daughter’s service android. Getting close to the daughter will enable me to get close to Obido to get the intel on Lamani.
Do your friends think you are an introvert or an extravert? Why?Being a cyberoperative doesn’t allow the luxury of friendships. Every mission is a life or death situation, and one of these times, I’m not going to survive.My fellow cyborgs and I can be gregarious, I suppose, but we don’t exactly exchange heart-to-hearts, you know? Our missions demand secrecy, so by default I’m an introvert.
Where do you dream of traveling to and why?Since I enlisted in Cy-Ops, I’ve traveled all over the galaxy to planets you wouldn’t believe. But I’ve never been able to enjoy any of it because my mission has always come first. When I get a chance, I’d like to take some R & R on the Darius4 Pleasure Resort. I hear their terraformed beach biodome is pretty close to authentic.
What songs are most played on your Ipod?Ipod? Do those antiques even exist anymore? We use Personal Communication Devices—but cyborgs don’t need PerComms. I have a microprocessor implanted in my brain. If I wanted to listen to music, I’d download it to my chip.
What one word best describes you? Tough.

EXCERPT
Her father pushed back his chair and patted Janai’s head before rounding on Mariska.
She dropped her gaze to the floor. Her stomach was already there. Show no fear. Show no fear.
“Stand up,” Obido ordered.
She attempted to rise, but her feet tangled in her skirt. R981’s arm shot out as if to keep her from stumbling.
“What are you doing?” Obido glared at the android.
“I am performing my duty and assisting her,” he replied.
“Your duty is to report to me.” Her father confirmed what she’d suspected.
“She was about to fall.”
It sounded like R981 was arguing. The general must have thought, too, because his eyes narrowed on the android, but then he jerked his attention back to her. “Remove your scarf.”
No one had seen her face since she was a child teased to tears by her siblings. It had been a relief to be ordered to wear the veil to spare the sensibilities of others and escape their horrified looks. While bathing, she avoided the reflection glass and its taunting reminder of her ugliness. Stomach clenching into a hard knot, she released the opaque fabric from one side of her headdress.
Her father grimaced, and Janai, who’d never seen her naked face, gasped.
Mariska held her head high and stared straight ahead.
HOLY HELL! KAI Andros almost fell over. This was what Lamis-Odg considered deformed, ugly? Fortunately, his black contact lenses concealed most of his shock. Intel intercepted by Cyber Operations had reported the fifth daughter of one of the most infamous terrorists had a “significant facial defect.” Her eight sisters had been married—mated was the term these people used—but no one wanted her, fearing she would produce hideous offspring.
He hadn’t seen her face until now.
In the genetic game of chance, Mariska had been dealt a royal flush. She was fucking gorgeous.
Don’t gawk! A real android wouldn’t react, but as a cyborg, a red-blooded heterosexual man working undercover as a robot, how could he not?
