Chapter 17 : As the Cog Turns

Prologue

In a different universe, many galaxies away, there exists a race of beings, bipedal in motion, possessed of two eyes, ears, arms, and legs.

Despite the distance between Earth and the Siyborgh home planet, there is a strong resemblance to those called humans, except for one crucial thing. By the time a Siyborgh has reached their twentieth year of existence, they receive their first gear, thus beginning their evolution and relationship with a symbiotic metal called latmevilium. Extremely rare, the living metal imbues its hosts with advantages - improved repairability of biological components, enhanced cognition or strength, even longevity, depending on the upgrade.

Metal and flesh joined together to transcend the bounds of their existence.
