Z’ stood at the large viewing window, but he didn’t actually gaze upon the flowering mountains, the wild blooms slowly bowing under the weight of sifting ash. He didn’t react to the explosions that rocked the floor under his feet. Nor did he give the order to evacuate. Not this time.

I tire of running. He tired of living. As guardian of the nanotech, he’d existed much longer than his biological system was ever meant to. Lived long, and alone. A creator with no companion.

Because I lost her.

And instead of dealing with his emotions, he allowed the unfeeling logic of the nanotech to erase them. Except it never completely got rid of his feelings. It simply hid them away where he didn’t have to live with them every day.

But Lilith and the others, the cyborgs as they called themselves, they chose to embrace their emotional side. They let the fury of love, anger, need, and friendship guide their actions and thoughts. It should have appalled him. Perhaps, on some level, it did, but only because it forced him to recognize the lack of it in his life.

Happy, angry, or sad, they embodied life. And the last hope.

Right or wrong, the cyborgs would be the last carriers of the nanotech. Once the ancient enemy destroyed this planet, Z’, along with his pool of creation, would cease to exist. There would be no more quests for candidates. No more trying to seed enhancements along the lesser races. A losing cause as those against the sentient robotic enhancements constantly strove to erase them.

But, while this world might be destroyed today, the tech wouldn’t die. The cyborgs would make sure of that.

They are survivors. It was why the bots chose them.

The hosts—with their hundreds of nano passengers—would seed the next generation, an improved version the likes of which Z’ never imagined. Because that was the problem. When he locked away his feeling side, Z’ had lost his capability to imagine—and hope.

The cyborgs hadn’t. Adversity made them stronger. Caring, good or bad, made them more determined. These cyber-enhanced biological beings with individual thoughts and emotions would pioneer a new path, maybe one that would bring them a chance for peace and, at the very least, survival.

A part of him wished he could live to see what chaos and wonders they would leave in their wake on their galactic quest for a true home and a place to belong.

My time is done, though.

A bright light streaked from the sky, its aim unwavering as it headed toward him.

Here comes the end. What would it be like?

Was there a god and a heaven waiting like the humans believed? Did he have a spirit, and would it surf free once he died? Would he find her again?

Questions crowded his final thoughts as death zeroed in.

And then he thought no more.

 

The End of this cyborg series...

 

But I can’t help but wonder if we’ll see the cyborgs again. I, for one, would like to know what happens next. What kind of society will the next generation of cyborgs become?
