Hmmm, interesting character and connections...
I'm afraid I found the other stories you've posted at this time rather long, mostly because I have to leave for an appointment soon, but also because you tend to group your text together tightly and have a lot of it in the one submission, you might want to consider spreadfing it out...

I like the lighter color armor as a change. But what I really find interesting is that, in your comments, you referred to Simone as the property of B.E.C.A. Does B.E.C.A really think of cyborg warriors as property? Of course cyborg warriors would be expensive to operate and maintain. And the Cyborgs don't appear to have to many other employment options. Can't see to many PPO's or HMOs offering support for cyborgs.

Thanks with the lighter color armor...I do have a tendency to color all of my characters in either black or silver.
As for Simone being the property of B.E.C.A. and B.E.C.A. thinking of their cyborg warriors as property, it varies. For Simone's case, over 90% of her body is mechanical...it would be very hard for her to life a "normal" life. When she was first saved by B.E.C.A. years ago from Cybercom, she was a cyborg yet still retained more of her original organic parts. Over the years of combat and battle has led to those organic parts being either destroyed in battle or replaced with more efficient cybernetic parts. Then it was decided that they would make her "Project: Genesis", which entailed giving her a high tech prototypical cyborg body at attempts in creating the perfect soldier. Her "Genesis" body is indeed too expensive to let her have free reign over.
And you're right...being that she's been built for combat, there's not really much else for her to do, as most things that normal humans do are irrelevant and illogical to her. She's pretty much a living weapon at this point...if you remember the old Robocop movies, think of how OCP used to treat him. Simone's struggle is very similar to Robocop's; she's made to be this perfect machine of war, yet there's still a human being underneath all of the metal, circuitry, wires, and such.
As for the other B.E.C.A. agents...it all depends on how extensive their cybernetics are. There are plenty of agents that lead near normal lives...generally those agents have less cybernetic parts or at least they aren't controlled by strict programming. In Simone's case, her programming is rather strict and her actions are more machine-like than human.
Sorry for the long write up, but if you want to know more about Simone's struggle between being a human soul trapped in the body of a machine then check this out [link]
