The next year 01 and 02 do many runs gathering credits and supplies. They become well known throughout the region. After several failed raids the pirates mainly leave them alone. Rufus never gives up on trying to get a date with both of them and fails miserably. Though his attempts have become amusing to both of them they tease him and love seeing his blushes and erections, and his attempts to hide them. Their world changes when they're at a station in the Ploku Sector. Both cyborgs were in their ship's cargo hold. 02 moving the latest cargo while 01 checks on a power juncture. 02 drops a heavy load then they both hear a squeak. Extending their beam weapons and leap on top of the cargo and on the other side they find an alcove built up of cargo boxes and they find a lioness cub. The cub cringes in the far corner and pleads. "Please don't hurt me." The cyborgs look at each other and retract their weapons. 01speaks out.

"We won't hurt you." The cub looks at them and 01 continues. "What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted a place to sleep."

"Where are your parents?"

"Gone." The cyborgs once again look at each other and the cub asks. "Please don't take me to the orphanage. I don't like it there." 01 suddenly grips her head as flashes appear. She sees a human family consisting of a pair of parents and two daughters. The older daughter with red gold hair white skin and purple eyes seems familiar though the entire family does. Then she sees the family over a freshly made grave and the younger daughter missing. She feels a hand on her arm and she looks up and sees 02 looking at her with a worried look on her face.

"You okay 01?"

"Yes, must've had an implant glitch."

"What do we do about her?" They both look at the cub that looks back with fearful curiosity. 01 bends down so she's face to face with the cub and asks.

"Are you willing to obey my orders."

"Yes captain." 01 recognizes the title that is used for command units on other ships.

"Then you can stay."

"Yeeeaaaahhh!" The cubs hugs 01. 01 makes a face and declares.

"First order is giving you a bath." As 01 picks up the cub 02 gets a stronger whiff and then holds her nose and comments.

"I was wondering where that smell was coming from." The cub sticks her tongue out at the cyborg vixen. 02 response by sticking her tongue back at her.

While 01 cleans the cub in the sonic shower 02 throws the rags the cub had on in the incinerator. After an hour in the sonic shower 01 notices the cubs malnourished look and takes the cub to the galley. The replicator creates a meal with high meat content for a carnivore like a lioness and 01 places it in from of the cub. "Here you go cub."

"My name is Kiara." Kiara takes a big bite of a hamburger. "What are yours?"

"I'm Cyborg Unit-01 or CYU-01, this is Cyborg Unit-02 or CYU-02."

"Lame names. There's got to be better ones for you." 01 tries to think back and that pain returns and in a jumble of images she sees something flash at her repeatedly. A name.

"I...I think I was Esrie before and 02 was Trixi."

"Then I'll call you Esrie and Trixi." Newly rechristened Trixi looks and the newly rechristened Esrie with a curious look and Esrie gives the universal later look. Kiara finishes the meal in minutes then yawns. Esrie takes the cub to the room next to hers and puts the cub to bed.

The cyborgs then move into the cockpit and Trixi begins. "Two things....Esrie. One, I'm concerned about those head aches you keep getting, and two, who was I before, all of this?"

"I keep getting flashes....memories I think. Maybe who I was before this, if there was a me before this but lets make a detour." Esrie heads over and enters the coordinates.

"Okay but why now, Why are they showing up now after a year or more. What is it with this cub that starts it?"

"I don't know, I honestly don't. But I'm going to find out."

"Okay, now about me." Esrie sighs afraid of where this might lead but she has to.

"You were Trixi Fireheart. A criminal at a station went to for ship repairs. She tried to steal the ship and cargo but I stopped her. I had even heard of what she manage to do at a young age and thought those skills could help the consensus. So I took her and made you." Trixi falls into her chair her organic hand over her mouth. "She was badly injured during the fight. Might be either dead or crippled by now. Not to mention her thugs were all killed. I doubt she'd have much of a future after that."

"I...I need to think about this."

"Okay. I'm heading to bed, see you tomorrow." Esrie leaves Trixi to ponder the revelation. A couple hours later Trixi gives in and heads to bed it herself.

The next morning Kiara wakes both cyborgs up with her jubilant energy. Esrie growls at the cub. "But I'm hungry, oh I guess I'm not showing respect to the captain, Captain." Esrie sighs and rubs the cubs head and another flash happens and Esrie sees the sisters she saw before with the older one doing the same thing. The flashback ends and Esrie smiles at Kiara and says.

"You can just call me Esrie and let's go get you your breakfast. The cub races to the galley and Trixi leans out of her room and comments.

"If I didn't know any better I'd think you'd installed a warp core in her."

Esrie rolls her eyes and both head to the galley. They eat their meals and Kiara notice she isn't wearing anything.

"Hey what happen to my clothes."

"I tossed those rags away." Trixi says. "Is that a problem for we don't have any on board." The cub just shrugs.

"You don't so I won't either. Well what can I do today?"

"Well unless we need you to get us something, nothing except schooling."

"Huh?" Esrie takes Kiara to her room. She then activates the computer and accesses a program deep within its memory core and began a basic school program.

"Welcome to school, now me and Trixi have work to do." Esrie leaves the cub to her studies and heads to the cockpit. There she finds Trixi sitting in her nav chair but not linked in but in deep thought. After last night Esrie though had to know thus she asks. "Are things okay between us?" Trixi looks at her with her organic eye for a second before the vixen sighs and drops her head.

"I don't know. You essentially force me to become a cyborg and even gave me a new personality. I will do my best to keep Kiara from seeing this. That cub needs some stability I know. I think the other Trixi didn't have that."

"No matter what though Trixi, you are important to me. I could have lied to you but I told the truth." Esrie looks out the view port. "I guess we're both trying to come to grips with our unknown past but at least you known more than me on your past, you have the advantage." An alarm goes off signaling they're reaching their destination.

"I'll go get Kiara, she might be interested in this." Trixi says and Esrie nods. Trixi heads to Kiara's quarters and as she opens it she sees Kiara jumping on the bed while the schooling program plays being completely ignored by the cub. "You're supposed to be studying!" Trixi says with a stern voice.

"But it's so boring!" The cub complains.

"But it's needed for the future Kiara, but we'll talk about it later. Now come Esrie wants you to see something."

"Cool." Kiara hops down and follows Trixi to the cockpit. When they arrive Trixi tells Esrie what Kiara was doing and Esrie frowns and whispers something to Trixi. Trixi smiles and says.

"That would work, I'll get started when we return to the ship." The ship drops out of warp into an empty system. Trixi runs a scan and reports. "Not much out there but I am reading some small metal objects. Esrie moves the ship in the direction Trixi indicates. They get close to the small widely dispersed debris field and Scans show a piece of debris with writing. They tractor the piece so they can read it. The piece is clearly part of a hull and on it under the blast marks it reads "Katana." After staring at it for a minute Esrie holds her head and collapses in the pilot's chair as images of a raider with that name flashes into her mind. Among the flashes see sees that same woman from before doing various things with the ship. She is eventually jerked out of it by arms shaking her. Both Kiara and Trixi look at her with concerned on their faces.

"My ship, that was my ship." She finally recognizes the woman as her. Who she is however eludes her.

They finally return to the Consensus ship and CU-01 greets them and notices Kiara. "Oh you brought us another for cyberization? We'll take her to the gestation chamber right away." Esrie stood in front of Kiara and says.

"You will do know such thing to her." CU-01 looks at her in shock. "You will also tell me who I really am and how I became CYU-01." CU tries to recover a bit and asks. "Why is she here then?"

"She's a part of my crew. Now about my past." CU-01 sighs and answers.

"We don't know CYU-01. We were under attack by Pirates when you arrived. With our weapons gone it was just your ship versus four of theirs. You fought efficiently and managed to defeat them all. We sent a shuttle to assist. The medical unit found you badly damage and unconscious, the engineer unit said your ships core was going to breach. When they returned they assured me that there was no way to return you to your former self and cybernetics were necessary for your survival. And the memory core we retrieved was too damage to even tell us who you were so we adopted you as a part of us as the only way we could repay you. The survival of the Silican Consensus was thanks to you. I'm sorry I can't help you reclaim your past but we are your future yes?" Esrie thinks for a minute before replying.

"For now yes but I am going to be searching for my past CU count on that."

"Very well. Now about your organic crewmate?"

"Her name is Kiara. I have also discovered my first name is Esrie and CYU-02 has reclaimed her name Trixi. Don't be surprised if Kiara names you and the others at some point. Have another bed sent to my room for Kiara."

"Alright but she's your responsibility."

"Confirmed." She then takes Kiara to their room. They have lunch and then Esrie plays with the cub when Kiara's bed appears and the EG's install it bunk bed style. Kiara runs over and climbs the ladder provided and lays on it.

"Oooohhh! Comfy!" The cub replies.

"Good." They spend the rest of the night bonding.

Trixi meanwhile has finished the project Esrie had her do and she sits down. She cuts off her link to the Consensus needing time alone. After thinking for a half an hour she gets up and heads to the freighter. She heads for her room and goes to the computer console. The computer on the freighter links to the computers at the station they stop at and uploads data they might need. "Computer, look up all data on Trixi Wildheart."

<Processing.> In a couple of minutes a holo image appears of Trixi Wildheart. Though holo images always have a blue tinge she can still see a dyed neon blue on the vixens fur. The vixen has a cocky smirk on her muzzle, and a fist resting on her hip. <Trixi Wildheart, age 20, Female Foxthro, Born on the planet Solaria. Moved to Space Station D-19, 15 years ago. Parents die in docking accident 14 years ago. Seven years ago joins Blue Streak gang. Three years ago confirmed leader of Blue Streak gang. Several warrants out for her arrest for various crimes including robbery, kidnapping, and breaking and entering. Current wear abouts unknown. Blue Streak gang dissolved after lack of leader ship. End of File. (Consensus addendum. Trixi Wildheart captured by Cyborg Unit -01 and converted to Cyborg Unit -02.> Trixi stares at her former self in deep thought for hours before her organic parts forcing her to sleep.
