- One of the others detached from the group and came to the closest of the
- rails, on the line that threaded west out of Detroit toward the state line and
- beyond. He sank into a crouch, and she heard the faint whine of micro-
- motors in his joints. The largest of them in build and bulk, he was almost a
- full-body prosthesis cyborg and what flesh there was of him seemed more
- like a coating applied to a steel sculpture than the true matter of the man. In
- particular, his organic face hung on a hairless chromed head like a mask,
- inset with two bulky crimson optic implants that gave him a permanently
- doleful expression.
- Thorne knew little about him, other than rumors that the man had been
- patched together with experimental augmentations and vat-grown bio-mech
- limbs after surviving the detonation of a truck bomb. All she cared about
- was that he was as capable as he looked. Others had chosen these operatives
- to assist her, based on algorithms and predictive models that Thorne would
- never be privy to. Each was augmented to a lesser or greater extent, many
- with exotic modifications that she had never seen before. But that mattered
- little in the situation before her; all that was required of Thorne was to
- marshal them to complete the objective.
