CH 9

"AHHH CHOO!" John recoiled from the sneeze. It felt like he'd just tried to blow his lungs out. Going into the bathroom, he blew his nose. That helped clear his nose, but didn't do anything for whatever was running down the back of his throat. He'd felt a little under the weather yesterday, but this morning he felt horrible. He also noticed Cameron wasn't here when he woke up. Somehow, that made him feel a little bit worse. At first, John figured she didn't want to get sick too. Thinking about that, he realized she couldn't get sick, could she? Normally, Cameron made it a point to finish her patrol or whatever she was doing to return to bed and be there when he woke up in the morning.

John was headed back for the warmth of the bed when Cameron strode in. She set what looked like an air cleaner on the floor, then came over to him and guided him back to bed. "You don't feel good," she told him.

John let out a dry chuckle from her stating the obvious. "And it sucks," he said.

"Lay down, I'll nurse you back to health," Cameron said firmly. She got him laid down and covered back up. She then shrugged her shirt and bra off and laid beside him, bringing her chest up level with his head.

"Cam? What are you doing?" he asked. He noted her breasts had gotten bigger.

"I'm going to nurse you back to health," she explained.

John grinned and said, "Cam, that's not what 'nursing' someone back to health means."

Cameron cast him her blank gaze. "John, I have ingested an adequate supply of vitamins, mild narcotics and nutrients to effectively treat your bacterial infection and routed them into my mammary glands for easy and pleasant consumption. Of course, if you would rather take pills and cough medicine, I can always go get those."

John stared at her. "You can do that?"

Leaning up beside John, Cameron took his head and planted his lips on a nipple. "You tell me."

John suckled. He also tasted a warm liquid flow into his mouth. He suckled more.

Yum.

"Take you medicine, John," Cameron said softly and kissed the top of his head.

John put an arm around her and did as she asked. For some reason, his medicine tasted really good for a change.

Cameron lay cradling John's head as he nursed on her, reveling in the sensations. Nursing her Husband was awesome! A daytime woman's talk show had talked about how 'fulfilling' it was to nurse your own baby. With John getting sick, which Cameron knew it was happening before John did, she knew he didn't take medicine well. She decided to try nursing her husband.

Along with the medicine and nutrients, Cameron had added nanites into the 'milk' mix. These weren't the normal flesh repairing nanites, but 'builder' nanites to make a nanite producing sack on the underside of John's stomach. Since John was human, Cameron knew he was going to injure easily and in time, his body would slowly break down.

Having his own supply of nanites would prevent that. Joints that normally would wear out would constantly be repaired. Arteries that may harden or clog would remain clear and in good repair. With nanites in his system, John would bleed much less due to nanites rushing to plug the gap. He would heal much faster and any microbes that again attempted to invade his system would be caught by the nanites that became part of his immune system. Her John would remain young and healthy for a very long time to come. Which also meant they would be together longer.

Cameron felt her right breast slowly shrink as John drew out his medicine. Besides the sweet sensations of John nursing on her, she also felt the 'fulfilling' feeling of feeding John from her own body, just like those women had talked about. It made her feel good, like a real woman, to supply nutrition to her love. Yes, breastfeeding was awesome.

Too bad John wasn't feeling well. Sex right now would be perfect. Then again, that caused her to overload. She didn't want to miss one minute of John taking his nourishment.

A knock came at the door.

"I'm nursing John back to health," Cameron announced, and held John in place.

Sarah peeked her head in, blushed and withdrew. "Tin Miss, that is NOT how to nurse someone back to health! John needs medicine!"

John spun to gape at his mother. "MOM!" he cried.

Cameron turned him back to plant him into her left breast and said, "Medicine first." She pulled the covers up to shield what John was doing then called out to Sarah, "John is getting his medicine and some nutrition. I filled my breasts with."

"You are a pervert!" Sarah shouted.

Cameron thought about it, then said, "Yes, and I enjoy being a pervert. You should try it."

Sarah closed the door hard.

John chuckled. Leaning up, he kissed Cameron and said, "I, for one, am glad you're a pervert."

"Only for you," Cameron said softly and kissed him again. "Now, finish your medicine."

"Yes, dear."

.

Flustered, Sarah went upstairs trying to get the vision of John nursing on Cameron out of her head. It seemed Tin Miss had become obsessed with sex. Part of her wanted to know how Cameron had gotten cold medicine into her breasts. The other part of her didn't want to know. Tin Miss just had to make taking care of a sick John into something sexual. It was a damn good thing Tin Miss couldn't get pregnant. Sarah would loose her mind with a bunch of tin-kids running around.

That thought stopped Sarah in her tracks. Being a machine, Cameron could not get pregnant ... right?

.

Catherine Weaver left her meeting with the Air Force Procurement Officer. According to him, they were not looking for a true AI. She still put in a bid for a 'computerized defense network' prototype, that was ready for testing. Upon leaving, she picked up the little silver spider she's released to look through their files while she was meeting with the General.

The spider had found a 'digital needs' supplier. The company was Kaliba, and the man in charge of Operations as Tony Donovan. She noted the address of his office and the fact that the product was going to be transmitted digitally over a cable line. She even had the origin and destination IP's and the access codes for the destination IP. It was now possible to get John Henry into the Air Force IP and block Sky Net from being transmitted into the military network. John Henry would become their Sky Net. She drove back to her high security office to get John Henry working on it as soon as possible.

John Henry now had multiple monitors in his server room. The cable that ran from the back of his neck to the servers behind him was now so he could use the server equipment to get onto the net and not risk himself. Through quad buffers, he set up firewalls to filter what he received. His brother was not going to get a chance to take him over again.

Mrs. Weaver walked in. "John Henry, I have information for you," she said as she walked over to an input terminal.

"I am ready, Mrs. Weaver."

Weaver formed a plug on her index finger and connected. Seeing it was Mrs. Weaver, John Henry bypassed the firewalls and read the information Catherine provided.

"You have found the location of Sky Net, and where it is to go," John Henry said.

"Yes. It is not online. It will be transmitted from the first IP to the second. I need you to become the 'Sky Net', on the second IP, and block the original out," Weaver told him.

John Henry pinged the second IP and smiled. "The codes are correct. I am in. I am changing the access code. I also an giving my IP as the only authorized connection in the base program. Manual input to the root program is disabled, access codes and root keys for the system are being printed out." John Henry then tipped his head slightly. "Mrs. Weaver, I have a question. This system is not very advanced. I need to improve it to provide adequate security. Doing so may raise suspicions to the operators on the system. Shall I improve the system or not?"

Mrs. Weaver pondered the question, then said, "Make a system announcement to the operators. Give them a day and time there will be system maintenance, then use that time to make improvements to the system. I doubt anyone will question the changes."

"Yes, that is a suitable solution. I shall do that," John Henry said.

Mrs. Weaver turned to leave. John Henry stiffened. "I have been expelled from the system," he announced.

"Did you detect a hack attempt?" Catherine asked.

"Yes, two of my buffers were overridden. Attempting to make changes in that system caused a sleeper program to activate," John Henry explained. "I countered with a stream of requests for service to lock up the system, and it disconnected. I cannot reconnect. It must have been an advanced security program. I detected nothing until it activated."

"That means at least part of Sky Net is already in place," Catherine said, not happy about that. That also meant they were not going to be able to digitally defeat Sky Net. It would have to be physically destroyed before it got uploaded.

.

Cameron's attentions and nursing John to health did help him recover quickly. The next morning, John was feeling great. Maybe it was his nurse, but he felt fantastic. Seeing Cameron's enlarged breasts was easy on the eyes also. They did feel and taste great. After a round of 'we really need to' sex, John made sure he'd drained both her breasts as Cameron rebooted from her overload. When she had overloaded out, she did so with a look of bliss on her face.

They took a shower together, got dressed, then headed out to keep working at their projects. Going to the kitchen first, Cameron asked, "John, what would you like to drink later?"

John shrugged and asked, "Do we have any Mountain Dew?"

Cameron opened the refrigerator. She saw two bottles. She pulled them out, uncapped them and guzzled one then the other. Watching, John frowned at her.

"Why did you do that?" he asked. He just told he wanted at least one of them.

Cameron let out a long belch, and said, "I am refilling. In an hour my mammary glands will be full again."

John chuckled and shook his head. "I take it you really like nursing me?"

"Yes. I will also ensure your refreshment does not get warm from sitting out," Cameron said, wearing a tiny smirk.

John swore he could see her breasts starting to fill out again. John gathered her in his arms and said, "You, my lovely wife, are truly amazing."

Almost in unison, they said, "I love you and you love me." They kissed deeply.

"All right, not out here!" Derek grumbled as he came in, shielding his eyes. "Get your metal tail in your room."

Cameron cast him a blank look and said, "I don't have a tail."

Derek grumbled at her and went on his way.

Heading out to the workshop, John got a call from Mrs. Weaver.

"Hello?"

"John, Sky Net has a security program already in the military computer system. It will not take any changes except for one from Sky Net. Stopping Sky Net digitally will not work. The source must be destroyed before it can upload."

John let out a huff. "We're working on it. Do you have an estimated time when it will upload?"

"I do not. I highly recommend acting as soon as possible."

"That's best," he agreed. "Can you come here so we can put our heads together?"

"I will. Is there anything I need to bring?"

"Not over the phone. I will have Cameron contact John Henry with the details."

"I will be waiting." *click*

Seeing Cameron watching him, John said, "Weaver can't get John Henry into the military system. We need to take Sky Net out physically."

"I will contact John Henry," Cameron stated. "We are going to need much more material. Since we must destroy it, that facility needs to be completely destroyed. Every building, every person. Nothing can be left to restart building Sky Net."

.

Cameron used the laptop to talk to John Henry while John worked at the cases for the six inch diameter, two foot long mortar shells. The last of the raw pig fat they had was in a pot, boiling on the workshop stove to break it down and get the glycerin out of it. So far, They had two mortar tubes on base plates, with adjusting rods to change the elevation. Of mortars, there were two finished mortars and six more exterior shell casings that had pointed heads and impact timers, but still needed explosives and rocket propellant to make them functional.

John knew six would be enough, especially if they had to destroy every building. This was not going to be a raid, in quick and silent, do damage then slip back out. There were five buildings up there, and who knew how many mercenaries ready and waiting behind reinforced positions. It was going to be a full scale attack against armed forces. A knock-down drag-out fight to the end. When they went up there, they had to have a solid plan. If Weaver came, that would give them six against the Merc army. Having two terminators and the bulldozer tank gave them an edge. He just hoped it was going to be enough of an edge to counter the numbers of professional soldiers they were going to face.

Cameron was also thinking about their odds as she communicated with John Henry. John Henry was able to silence any alarms and calls for help from or in that facility. He could also cut external power. His effectiveness inside the facility was only to take out the wired security system, exterior cameras and wired communications.

John Henry did find an ammunition dump the Army had some good weapons stored in it not far to the east of the warehouse in the desert. Although John Henry didn't have an inventory, he did know it was cold war era munitions. It was also classified, 'outdated'. John Henry deleted it from the army's files.

Another thing Cameron arraigned with John Henry was transportation. A flatbed tractor and trailer for a bulldozer/tank and a long box moving truck. In Weaver's 'projects', John Henry found prototypes for an attack drone. The small jet looking drones flew high and quiet, and could deliver a 2 pound load of explosives straight down on top of a target, or fly down to ram into whatever the target was. The drones were controlled by radio signals John Henry was able to control.

Before they made any more of their own mortars, Cameron wanted to go see what this army ammo dump had to offer.

.

After John had his lunch and got all he wanted to drink from Cameron, they took the dozer out with Sarah, Derek and Jesse riding on the outside and went to take a look at this army depot. Approaching, they saw the 'keep out' signs and the rusted chain link fences. There were no cameras nor activity in sight, so John just ran over the fence and rolled up to the doors of a rounded bunker. The high security padlock that had to be 50 years old was easily broken off by Cameron. Turning their flashlights on, they went into find racks of munitions and a long row of jeeps and trucks down the center of the building.

Derek drooled at the towed guns parked along one wall. 155MM artillery pieces. "These would do some damage," he said as she scanned the line.

"Over here!" John cried, shining his light on a rack of mortars. They were 4 inch mortars, and on the rack above were 4 inch mortar rounds.

"We need easily carried items," Sarah announced. "Mortars, hand grenades, explosive charges."

Jesse opened the gas cap on one of the trucks. "No petrol," she announced. She then looked on a nearby rack. Machine guns!

They found both 30 and 50 caliber machine guns. Towards the back were 20mm machine guns. For ammunition, they found boxes of 30 and 50 caliber belts, but no 20mm ammo.

John called out, "Derek, get what you need to set up a fire suppression position to keep anyone away from the mortar launchers. It will be you and Jesse."

Sarah said, "You'll need two of those positions, John. I'll take one."

"Weaver is coming with us," Cameron told them.

Derek called, "Forget the heavy stuff! get the 30 cals, and all the boxed ammo we can carry, and two crates of frag grenades. John, will that beast of yours outside tow a truck?"

"Sure will," John stated.

"Then find a chain. These trucks won't run, but we can tow this first one out. Fill the back with what we need," Derek instructed.

John went out and turned the dozer around. Sarah came out and helped him back up into the doors. Jesse found a tow chain. Cameron and Derek were loading the back of the truck with mortars and machine guns. By the time Jesse and Sarah had the truck hooked to the dozer, Cameron had three mortar tubes and four boxes of 4 inch mortars in the truck, along with four machine guns and a pile of 30 cal ammunition boxes, and two crates of grenades.

John drove out slow, pulling the truck behind him. Once they were clear, Cameron shut the doors and put the broken lock back in place. Sarah got on the outside of the dozer to watch the truck. Derek steered the truck, Jesse beside him. They headed for a dry wash canyon they'd found along the way. There was no effective way to hide their tracks, so John took the low ground back to the warehouse.

One of the things Cameron looked at was fitting a machine gun above John's driving seat on the dozer/tank. With a full box of ammo, he'd have something to fight with if the need arose. He wouldn't be very accurate, but he would be able to hose down and area or a group of men. It would be an addition to their defensive fire, and if they went down into that facility, like she deduced they might have to, it would be essential.

Weaver had arrived shortly after they did. They all stopped work to get together and plan the attack. Looking over what they had to work with, and what they faced, Weaver said, "We must keep the defenders confused for as long as possible. When we strike it must be all at once."

Derek pointed to the gates. "The most likely place an attack would normally come from is the entrance. If the mortars are coming from this mountain to the northeast, then we have to make a diversion at their gate to draw the mercs that way. It will slow their reaction time to the real threat."

"Four inch mortars are not very penetrating," Sarah said. "I think Tin Miss needs to finish those mortars she's working on. She's making those specifically to penatrate this building."

"I can help her with that," Catherine said.

"So, who's going to attack the front gate and take the initial abuse?" Jesse asked. Jerking a thumb at the dozer/tank, she added, "That thing would be perfect for that job."

"That will be more than adequate to raise chaos and get their attention," Cameron agreed.

John had thought their dozer would be up on the hill. Then again, what they were saying made sense. "From there, we can also direct mortar fire. We also need two machine gun teams and the mortar launchers."

"If I may," Catherine said. "Derek on the right, up here, Jesse in the middle, and Sarah on the left near the top of this mountain. That should keep any forces away from us. Given time to set up, I can operate the mortars and spot my own shots from behind the peak."

Derek eyed the group. "Eventually we have to go in there, don't we?"

"We do," John admitted. "This building here to the left of the gate has a service tunnel coming up from down by the road. There's an access plate not far off the road. That is a possible escape route."

Catherine eyed John. "The wire communications most likely runs through that. It will need to be destroyed to prevent uploading."

"We can do that on our way to the facility," Cameron stated. "That will also cut their power and warn them we are coming."

"A timed charge," John said. "We know where the access is, we used it to get in the first time. What we don't know, is if they figured out we used it."

"I will ask John Henry," Cameron stated. "If they are monitoring the tunnel, he should be able to find out." She turned to go over to John's laptop.

"I am asking John Henry for that information now," Catherine stated.

"OK, we pound down the buildings with mortar fire and kill a bunch of mercs, then what?" Derek asked. "We march in and finish off everyone else?"

Catherine said. "We make sure there are no survivors."

John winced. "We have to do that, huh?"

Sarah shook her head and said, "I wish we didn't have to do that."

"If we don't then Sky Net may rise once again," Jesse stated. "We need to make sure nothing there survives."

John motioned to the map and said, "We're going to be making a ton of noise. Someone is sure to call for help. Unless we block the roads, we're going to be fighting police, and maybe the military if we stay very long."

"The area is isolated. The chances of intervention within the first fifteen minutes is 33.5 percent," Cameron stated. "It rises significantly after that"

"John, you and Cameron will be by the gate. How fast does that thing of your move?" Derek asked.

"49. 5 miles an hour over level ground," Cameron replied.

"Then after ten minutes, crash the gate and drive through the facility, no matter what is happening," Derek said firmly. "Head straight for the valley back here. Punch through the barrier walls and keep on going until you get to these trails on the far side."

"And leave everyone else?" John asked.

"Yes," Sarah said firmly. "We can't risk you any more than we must."

"Agreed," Catherine said. "By that time, we will be well on our way of destroying that place. If we can't stop Sky Net here, we are going to need you, John Connor." She paused and said, "John Henry detects no evidence that your entry into that tunnel has been found. It will be safe to plant a large explosive charge there."

"We have a good plan," John said. "Now, what can possibly happen to screw it up?"

.

Once their plans were finished, Catherine and Jesse worked at finishing the six inch mortar rounds, Cameron and John worked at giving John a periscope and mounting a 30 cal above him on a turntable mount with elevation so he could aim and fire the machine gun and not expose himself. The only drawback was he had one 1000 round box of ammo. To load another meant getting out and exchanging the box then reloaded the first round in the new belt. Derek and Sarah used all the C-4 they had, two bags of fertilizer, one box of grenades and all the small steel pieces they could find to fill an empty barrel for the explosive charge to take out the tunnel. John was sure that would be enough to take out any pipes or conduits in that tunnel, we well as anything around it.

Cutting power to the facility by blowing the barrel charge was going to be the signal to start.

.

It was early morning when Cameron was satisfied with the machine gun addition to the dozer. Sitting in his seat, John had a joystick control to move and aim by. The wide angle periscope that looked through the gun sights also gave him more visibility. He could pan it to either side and up and down. The only thing he couldn't look at was directly behind them. If the armor protecting the gun worked, he'd be able to cause mass havoc with this thing.

"John, the gun is suitable?" Cameron asked from outside his hatch.

"Yeah, this is great, Cam," he agreed.

Cameron stuck her hand out to him. "Then it's time for bed. You need your rest after you have your drink and we have sex."

John grew a grin. That was logic he couldn't argue with. "Agreed, my lovely wife," he said.

.

Cameron noted that her breasts had stretched out, so now when they were empty, the larger mammary sacks hung lower. That did not please her, though John didn't seem to mind in the slightest. In the early morning, she drank some water just to fill them up and get them more rounded. Her bras didn't fit any more either, so she went without until she could get some new ones.

Before anyone else got up, she took Derek's truck and loaded two 55 gallon barrels in the back, then went down to a gas station that was closed, but the pumps were available for use by credit card. Using her fake bank, she filed both barrels and drove back. OK, maybe she should have filled Derek's truck too. It was just above empty when she got back into the warehouse.

One barrel filled the dozer. The other, she filed Derek's truck, then tied the still mostly full barrel onto the back of the dozer. She made sure the dozer's ammo racks were full, and the mortars and machine gins were ready to go.

John was still asleep when she went back in the house. Sarah had gotten up and was hunched over her morning coffee. Seeing her, Cameron said, "Sarah, you don't have to be up until noon. You should rest while you can."

"Habit," Sarah replied, glancing at her. "And put a bra on."

"Mine are too small now. I need to buy new ones," Cameron told her.

"We ready to go?" Sarah asked as she combed her fingers though her hair.

"Yes. Everything is waiting to be loaded."

"Let John sleep until we're ready."

Cameron tipped her head slightly to the side. "That is my plan. I will also have lunches ready. We will be out most of the night."

.

Two trucks arrived at noon. A tractor and heavy equipment trailer and a moving van came, with another car. As instructed, the truck drivers left the keys in the trucks, got on the car and left. After they left, Cameron opened the warehouse doors. Jesse and Sarah went over to the moving van and opened the back. Inside were four ATV's with trailers attached. They got the loading ramp down and moved the ATV's into the warehouse. Cameron got on the tractor trailer and backed it inside.

Once they got the dozer up onto the heavy equipment trailer and covered with a canvas, Cameron put their tunnel bomb on the front of the trailer and tied it down. Then they loaded the ATV trailers with equipment. Two trailers were loaded down with machine guns and ammo. A third was loaded with three mortars, the two 4 inch and the six inch, along with a crate of rounds.. The fourth was loaded with the all the rest of the mortar rounds.

.

Mrs. Weaver waited at the equipment rental place for the drivers to return. When they came in she offered them a smile. "Thank you for delivering the trucks."

"You're welcome, Ma'am. We get our reward now?"

"Indeed you do," she said firmly. Bringing up both arms she shot her spikes out and skewered them through the heart. She then took the shape of one and walked out.

.

Cameron fixed a dinner type afternoon lunch to fill everyone up. This would be their last meal for the day. Right after their early dinner, Mrs. Weaver arrived. Sitting together, they went over the plans and timing one last time so everyone knew what was to happen when.

Sarah, Derek and Jesse got in the front seat of the moving van. Mrs. Weaver got in the back with the ATV's. Cameron closed the rear door and signaled to Derek. He drove off. Cameron the pulled the tractor trailer out of the warehouse. John closed and locked the doors, then got into the passenger side.

As Cameron drove them out onto the road, she noticed John smiling at her.

"You bounce nice," he said with a grin.

Cameron returned his smile and replied with, "I'll try to hit plenty of pot holes."

.

Derek drove the moving van up to the dirt road Cameron had showed them. Pulling over, he nodded to Jesse. They got out and ran to the back and let Catherine out . They got the ATV's unloaded. Sarah, Derek and Jesse mounted up on theirs and went down the trail. Catherine stood by the road and took a man's form.

Ten minute later, Cameron came by with her truck and stopped. Catherine got on the trailer. Cameron moved on to where the tunnel access was, Catherine got off with the barrel charge and went into the woods to plant it.

Walking up to the cover that still had a broken lock on it, Catherine removed the cover, starched her arms out to lower the barrel into place, then puled the antenna back up. She fitted the the end through a hole in the cover and put the cover back in place, then ran to go get her own ATV moving down the trail.

.

Coming to the access road to the facility, Cameron pulled over off the side of the road, using the trailer to block the access road. Cameron shut the truck off then reached up under the dash and pulled the ignition wires out. She and John locked the doors on their way out, Cameron threw the keys off into the woods. They pulled the Canvas off the dozer. John climbed in and got it started as Cameron flattened all the right side tires on the rig by pulling the valve stems out. No one was moving that rig very quickly, and as it sat, there was no way around it to get up the road.

John got the dozer off the side of the trailer that was now level with the ground. He stopped and got out to let Cameron climb into the driver's seat. It was getting dark, as planned. He got into the top, and checked that air pressure as they headed up the road. It was a little low, so he ran the air compressor to make sure it was maxed.

Cameron drove up to the last rise before coming onto the level ground of the facility. She climbed up and stood on the top of the dozer. She could just see the top of the barrier around the facility. She got the range to target.

"We set?" John asked, sticking his head out of the hatch.

"We are in position," Cameron informed him. She then sat down and motioned him to stand up on her seat. Cupping his face, she said, "You need a drink before we get set."

"We brought drinks?" he asked.

Cameron opened her shirt. "One for now, one for later," she said with a grin.

"Sweetheart, I love how you think," John said, and kissed her before he cupped a breast and had his drink.

.

John had time to all but drain her left breast before Cameron's internal timer ran out. "Everyone should be in position, John. We need to get in position as well," She said, petting his hair.

John got up and gave Cameron a long kiss. "Right, let's do this," he said and got down into his driver's seat.

Both inside, Cameron said, "Raise up just high enough so you can see the gates when we get the signal."

"I got it," he replied, and set himself to go.

The signal was not subtle. If the tremendous explosion and trembling in the ground didn't clue him, then the orange flash off the landscape did. John moved forward until he could see the gates and guard houses to either side. He stopped and grabbed the joystick, aimed at the left side guard house and squeezed the trigger. The machine gun above him rattled out a stream of rounds to rip into the guardhouse. He turned the joystick and ripped into the one on the right. The vehicle parked nearby exploded as Cameron's first round landed on it.

The attack had begun.
