I didn't ask for her. But the moment I had her in my arms, I knew I'd never let her go.

Talia Reed was supposed to be a tactical asset--brilliant, unwilling, and utterly necessary to defend my cyborg colony. We brought her here because we had no choice.

And I don't care what I have to do ... I'm not giving her back.
