Although story is not all that important, it should provide a bit more insight into where this is going. So here it is... Please let me know if you spot any spellung mistakes:

The year 2339, a dystopian future. Corporations compete for resources in an escalating space race.
Their cyborg armies fight it out in far flung galaxies, distant star systems, planets, moons and inside well defended bases. The ambitions of man knows no limit as the hunt for the rarest resources reaches its climax.

Jakes has managed to find employment with one such corporation, but after years of service he has regrets. 
Even after many missions under his belt, a declining bank balance keeps him enslaved as a corporate servant. 
He is paired with a ruthless cyborg killer to meet the expectations of the powers that be.

Jakes: My Life has become routine. Work demands travelling deep inside enemy territory.
I never leave the confines of this star ship, 'The Gryphon'.
Cynthia, my cybernetic colleague certainly can. We are a team in the loosest sense of the word.

I track her movement on the monitor, zooming the remote drone-cam in for a closer look.
Her blue hair parts briefly, revealing a cold, emotionless stare. How many has she killed?

Damn. There's that delay again. *punches the console* 
Lately it's almost as if she can sense her actions are not her own, but surely that is not possible?
  
An encrypted signal is sent vast distances directly to receptors in her brain. Controlling her every action.
Here from this safe, remote command centre. This orbiting star ship... Me.

Then after yesterday's mission, she dropped a bombshell. 'I want to be human again Jakes', she said. 
'Blasphemy!', I blurted in shock. 'Cyborgs are corporate slaves for a reason!'. 
She retreated to the hold after my outburst.
  
I didn't sleep last night just thinking about it. After all these years I don't even know her, 
but I know that I need her...

I want to see an end to this damn war so that I can go home. She wants to be 'human' again.

Impossible! To do so we would have to take on the most dangerous mission of our lives!
I could easily hack the med-bay to remove her augmentations in exchange for her help. 
One at a time only, until I get what I want.
   
The corp would spare no expense and go to the ends of the galaxy to find me, if they ever found out.
I'll tell her about the plan when we arrive in the next star system.

We must be insane..."
