Silene - Cyborg Astronaut

Cyborgs are enigmas. Living, yet not living. Living tissue over robotic functions. Almost indistinguishable from a human being. Supposedly without emotions or human desires. They follow orders without questions. Talon had a few problems following orders immediately. Silene does not fit those parameters. She was not a warrior and has no desire to give her life over and over again such as Talon did in the past. She has her own mind about he future.
