Breeder Protocol – David Allan Hamilton (1)

When they reached the bottom, the guards took her down a long, dark corridor to what looked like an old storage area they’d cleared for a makeshift holding cell. The group stopped, and the men ushered her inside before remaining at the entrance. Commander Keelin removed his black head covering, revealing a shocking mix of organic face and machine metal. He frowned awkwardly. “Piper Madison, you will remain here until Lord Scyther calls for you.

I apologize for the conditions, but I trust you’ll find this accommodation comfortable. The security guards,” he thrust his chin toward the open door, “won’t harm you as long as you cooperate. Observe, there is no lock since you are our guest. But these are dangerous times and we must be extremely careful.”

Keelin turned on his heel to leave. “Commander,” she said, “why are you here on Robos 7?” The Protoran stiffened. His body language suggested he struggled with whatever responses floated in his software. “We will answer all your questions in due course, Piper Madison.” His ocular orb flashed at her. “What is that item in your pocket?”

Piper gulped. She’d forgotten about the whisper stone. Deciding to play it cool and upbeat, she said, “Oh, this?” She pulled out the gem. “Just a memento from my work on Hauntor. A good luck charm. Want to see it?” Keelin shook his head stiffly. “This concept of luck is illogical, Piper Madison. Keep your trinket, if it helps you sleep at night.” After he departed, she shoved the stone away and surveyed the entrance. The silent sentries kept their hands close to their girded weapons.

She returned to the cot and flopped down, waiting for this Scyther fellow to summon her. She didn’t have to wait long. A few minutes passed when the guards began moving about. Piper heard nothing spoken between them, and presumed wireless communication. One entered the cell and said in an artificial voice, “Lord Scyther will see you now.” She jumped up and followed the pair down the corridor to a different staircase. When she limped into the old Governor’s study, several Protorans looked up from their work around a large table.

Other Heads lurked in the background—one of whom seemed familiar. A tall man confronted her. His glance at the guards sent them fleeing into the hallway.

Scattered across hundreds of planets, the remnants of Terran colonists and alien settlers live under the watchful eye of the struggling Torfinn Galaxy Governing Council, headquartered on the planet Asteria.

But interplanetary peace and cooperation is an illusion. Bound by the Ethical Protocol on Non-Interference, the Council forbids planets from meddling in each other’s affairs—a law that’s supposed to protect, but too often shields corruption, cruelty, and silent suffering. Piper Madison, a brilliant young Asterian research scientist, finds her sheltered life turned upside down when she uncovers cruel injustices on Robos 7 quite by accident. Despite being raised by the Chancellor of the Governing Council, Piper despises politics, preferring exploration, discovery, and opportunity for all.

Where others see inevitable bureaucracy, she finds bone-crushing betrayal. Where others stay silent, she takes a stand. Driven by a fierce sense of justice, Piper dares to cross the lines no one else will—to challenge tyranny, expose lies, and where necessary, ignite revolutions across the stars. These are her stories.

1kitap1.com/en O N E Piper Madison had to remind herself that Kitto was nothing more than a simulacrum—a face she designed to give the main computer at the Olavus Research Lab on Hauntor a human touch. He wasn’t the real man himself, even though she treated him as if he were still alive. A crazy exercise that only a crazy person might do, she thought.

But Piper Madison wasn’t in her right mind. “The weather seems to be holding,” the digital image said. “I take it you’ll proceed with the scheduled survey?”
