Fics like that urge often miscalled 'free will'

Once a tenday he’s inspected and modified in a way he fears and appreciates in equal measure. It’s always the same engineer with the same broad frame: dark-eyed and unnerving, with a mop of unruly black hair. The man has a particular liking for him, Gale knows, and an ambition so sharp it impresses even him, Gale Dekarios, Gale of Waterdeep, teenage prodigy who had been granted the time to finish his degree on the homeworld solely out of respect for what they knew he would become. What’s Gortash, to rival that? Not Waterdhavian, not a pilot, not a nobleman. A mechanic he’d estimate is only a couple years younger than him, but more talented than any other he'd had, and more dangerous besides. Threatening, always, that if Gale wants to stay at the top of his game he'd give and give and give these pieces of himself over to the machine until hardly any of his body belongs to him at all. It’s your mind that is you, Enver always insists. The rest is only a tool and an interface.
