Waking up disoriented, she doesn’t know where she is, or who these
men are who are talking over her…about her…about her being their
creation. Apparently they ran out of parts, but she turned out okay,
if not a little on the small side. Being dubbed Runt, she soon
learns these men are not friendly, and she’s about to be sold to the
highest bidder. From what she overhears, she fears the new owners
will be crueler than her creators.
Runt doesn’t speak much, not wanting to
give anything away, but she soaks in everything around her,
memorizing everything she witnesses. Planning her next move for
freedom. She’s alive, a special creation, and she
will
live the life she was created to have. She just has to bide her time
until the opportunity presents itself.
When her escape attempt goes awry, she’s rescued by Axel and his crew of salvagers, but it’s hard for her to trust anyone. He tries to earn her trust and claims he cares for her, but how? She’s mechanical, a cybie. But Axel proves that she’s human enough where it counts—her brain and her heart. He makes her feel emotions foreign to her, like happiness. Of all the things she’s learned, learning to love is the most important.
Still, something plagues her. Who was she before she was Runt?
Memories and flashbacks tell of another life, and she needs to find
out what happened to her.
Warning! Contains grand theft spaceship x2, hidden talents, deep dredge bombs, trickery, illegal and immoral experimentation, Sold!, abandonment, and a woman wondering if she’ll ever be happy, and a man more than willing to prove she can be.
