Nowhere Girl"I was designed to look human, act human. And I don't mind. It's who I am. My mind was spliced together from a billion different human beings. And I remember them. Some of them." Rebecca paused. "But I don't want to be human, even if you think it's a compliment. Ask what other species think!""It's human nature, though," Jennifer said, "To change ourselves, to bend ourselves into different forms. Even when it hurts us.

Nowhere Girl"I've been human once," Rebecca said."Really?" Jennifer asked."Yes. It was -- during the Warp, obviously. One minute I was me, then I was -- organic me. In a different place. I mentioned that earlier." Her mouth worked silently and then she smiled weakly. "It hurt more.""What do you mean? Physically?""It hurt," Rebecca shrugged.

Nowhere GirlWhen she woke up, she was basically a torso in a tank hooked up to life supports. Half her face was gone. So was the rest of her. Death looked pretty good then.She could talk, a little. When Rebecca appeared, she asked to see what state she was in. A look in the mirror started Araz screaming. And then weeping. She would do anything not to live like that."Anything?" said a woman, another blonde, standing behind Rebecca with scarlet robes and a sardonic expression.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writing</a>

Nowhere GirlShe wasn't good enough for Lawson and the ZK units who formed the core of the Black order. But she was a killer and did as she was told. She was not a full member but she had black armor with spikes and skulls on it. They loved that shit, the Black Order.She was running a convoy when she saw Shezarr warriors coming over the rise. Oh, shit, she thought.And then the mechs appeared, bright in the skies.And then there were missiles.Ye gods, there were so many missiles.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writing</a>

Nowhere GirlAraz Charzi was a borderlands lowlife who picked up a gun and kept shooting people until someone paid her to do it. She bluffed her way into becoming a "security consultant" for archaeologists.The job didn't suit her. Babysitting scientists? But that was when she first met the Shezarr.As in, the Shezarr tried to kill them.Irony of ironies.
