Nestor: The Italian Cyborg

Yes, you read correctly. Nestor is an Italian cyborg; the deadliest of all cyborgs.

And, as you're probably aware, cyborgs in general are known for their somewhat impetuous behaviour. They are, however, capable of feelings, emotions and affective experiences. I collaborated with cyborgs and androids so often because I was willing to make the effort to relate to them. Except for the gynoids. I refused to work with those tramps.

Nestor was unusually impulsive and rash, even for a cyborg, thinking little of the consequences of his actions. Like the time we were conducting an investigation of the burger industry in a small Prairie town. One evening, after a day of heavy recon, Nestor and I met back at our base of operations, the local library, and began sorting through the trash I’d recovered from the nearby greasy spoon. It was laborious work weeding through the discarded napkins and forgotten orthodontic retainers, but all we needed was one solid piece of evidence of the druggings or the money laundering to take down the man known as “Justice of the Grease”.

We had just started to make a dent in the pile, when a child walked by where we were huddled, and opened a door. The stiff breeze that blew in caused our hard work to scatter all over. Nestor was furious, and in his rage, backhanded the child. Realizing his mistake, he took off, leaving me alone to explain to the child and his parents what had happened. Our cover compromised, I pulled a plug on the mission.
