I was born on Earth, but come from an old Peloran cybernetic family dating back to before Caesar crossed the Rubicon. The Republic of Texas asked us to adopt some of their pilots as part of a program to improve coordination between our militaries. My mother was doubtful of the prospects, but agreed to evaluate their candidates for suitability. I chose a pilot whose family had a long tradition of working with the Terran cybernetic families, which added certain complications to my life, but I have enjoyed it. My sisters and I were all born to work with Earthborn pilots. We were the first of a new generation of cybers that would be a bridge between both races of humanity. It has been an amazing ride. – Betty Hart.
