That was awesome, what happened to Circe! I almost wasn't sure Marten could get out of that one. As for the cyborgs, they could have at least been loyal to their creators for a day or two. As for the Highborn, they really can't replace humanity.If they did, and grew billions of themselves, they would just tear each other apart. A billion berserker megalomaniacs driven to conquer or die would never make a stable social order; and with no families, no individual Highborn has a stake in stability or loved ones to protect. So a planet full of them with no outside enemies would just become a battleground rife with endless power struggles.I guess you could breed a more peaceful type of Highborn, but they wouldn't really be the same Highborn, and Sulla would want to exterminate them, too.
