Important: This chapter addresses many questions or issues that might have occurred to fans who watched the episode Vicks Chip. He was married to Barbara Chamberlain - now that is quite some infiltration!
Not to everybody's taste but now it will be done and dusted.
When everybody gets back to Jenny's residence, it is 9:30pm, only 2.5 hours until New Year's Eve. Jenny points this out to everybody. Jenny & Conny take the children upstairs and stay with them.
Cameron & Sonia are anxious about leaving their own residence empty any longer.
Sarah agrees and suggests making the journey home to check things out.
Sonia has an idea, pretty strange for a developing AI but that is how she works. She speaks up and says "I will go home alone and keep guard whilst you all stay here, I will be OK. I would also like to check the internet for threats and find other things to do. Cameron can phone me at midnight when humans celebrate the New Year, I know all your customs".
Everybody looks puzzled for a short while but assumes it is not really a cyborg thing after all.
Very soon afterwards, Cameron goes to the SUV with her, neither of them showing any human traits and removes some of the weapons and ammo to take indoors. The vehicle starts up and drives off - Cameron comes back indoors and smiles at everyone.
They all look at her and Derek speaks up "is she OK Cameron?" "Yes Derek, she will be OK, nothing to concern yourself over".
Derek says "Is she coming back?" Cameron replies "no".
"Oh well, not to worry, still plenty of room in our vehicles".
John says "this time I will phone her at midnight, I don't want her to think we don't miss her, I won't make that mistake again".
Sarah replies "I will remind you". Allison says the same with the sentence with the word "too" added at the end.

When Sonia reaches home, everything is fine. She checks all around the house, makes sure all the hidden items are still there. She goes to Cameron's room and gets a small box with a ribbon around it, removes the label and replaces it with another one and writes on it. She also writes on a piece of paper 'Cameron, I will buy you a replacement 'tight present' as I need this one.
She finds a nice girly dress and accessories that only girls know, plaits her hair in the Sofia fashion age 16 and is set to go. She takes the box downstairs with her and then sets the alarm and locks up.
She goes for a walk with only a glock concealed behind her, cellphone in her pocket.
25 minutes later she reaches a house with a row of white lights across the front door overhang roof, lighting up the 4 red steps to the front door. She presses the doorbell.
A young man answers the door, sees Sonia and says "hello Sonia, this is a surprise".
"Is Lesley at home?"
Just then Lesley pushes past him and says "Lionel, some privacy please".
He understands, smiles at Sonia then walks away. Sonia can tell he is not far away but disregards him and speaks to Lesley.
"My place is empty tonight if you want to come and talk to me. I have got a lot of things I would like to ask you".
Lesley is over the moon and immediately says "stay there, I will be back" then turns quick, curses Lionel and punches his arm as he continues to grin at her. She rushes upstairs and 5 minutes later comes back down with a change of clothes, blue low-cut dress, (quite short as well), plus light mauve stockings with the required attachments. A small bag and smelling faintly of a recently perfumed spray.
Sonia hands her the present and says "a tight present, I hope you like it".
"Oh, that is thoughtful Sonia, I didn't know you were coming, otherwise I would have got you something".
Sonia remembers the advice that Garrett gave her and feigns a little nervousness, looks downwards and says "you could give me a kiss on the cheek".
Lesley is overjoyed, especially because she looks like Sofia Vassilieva too, a double bonus and gives her a gentle kiss on the cheek.
Lesley says to Lionel "I know you are there, I will be away for the new year, you know my mobile number but if you ring me I will come back and throttle you - Sonia will help me, won't you Sonia".
"Yes". (Try to remember the 'yes' that Cameron spoke when Morris asked her out).
This might sound strange but many words spoken by humans still baffle Sonia, this one included but she assumes it has been said as a joke, even if Lesley is not smiling.
When they get home Sonia lets Lesley in and says "is there anything that you would like?" (Not exactly a subtle question).
Lesley looks up quickly and says "well, that was to the point, yes there is something I would like, come and sit next to me".
Sonia detects an increase in Lesley's level of attentiveness and her pupils have dilated further. She wonders if what she said was construed as a suggestion unrelated to food or drink but sits as Lesley suggests.
Lesley says "what were the things you wanted to ask me Sonia" as she leans forward slightly to watch her face and hear her reply.
"Most humans choose a mate that is the opposite sex but I have studied internet articles and seen TV programs where this is not the case. I am much happier when I am near to you, because my levels of satisfaction rises more when I am with you than anybody else I know. Do you feel the same way and have chosen me for the same reason?"
Lesley looks at Sonia quite surprised and says "when you say humans, are you saying that you are not human?... that is a joke... and yes, I do feel the same way".
Upon hearing this, Sonia wonders if it would matter if Lesley knew she was an android, like Cameron is to John. She knows she cannot tell her this but that question is one that she would like to have answered. Sonia feels that it would make her much happier if Lesley knew. Obviously these thoughts take less than a second to compute.
"Forget all that Sonia, you are here and I want you".
(A description of what happens after this is best left to the imagination but if it is a lesbian porn video that you are picturing, then you are completely on the wrong track - It is not Serena Williams tennis playing a Russian on centre court sound effects scenario emanating from the downstairs settee or later the bedroom. Much much nicer than that - on the other hand none of that might be happening! read on.)

At Jenny's joint, the children are allowed to stay up until midnight, in fact they are quite used to unusual hours. They are learning a few Spanish words from Ricardo and for some reason he says things and they are laughing. Cameron & Sarah begin to listen in on the upstairs conversation only to find that he is asked a few naughty words that the kids have learnt in the tunnels and he has tried to translate them.
Sarah jumps up and beckons Conny to come with her and walk quietly up the stairs. They stand there for a while listening then suddenly open the door. Conny says some ostracizing remarks to Ricci, who looks at her grinning and the kids laugh their heads off.
"Oh well, it is new year's eve but if I find out that you have translated any more words that are disgusting and any more that they have in the pipeline, I will 'terminate you' " said Sarah, as she walked towards him and drew her gun (but did not point it at him).
Ricci quaked a bit but the kids still laughed a lot because this kind of action was not beyond their experience in the tunnels and they even seemed to know that it was said in jest.
Sarah walks out the room but Conny stays
She says a little more spanish to Ricci with her finger waving up and down. The kids have quietened down at last but still smile.
Conny speaks in English "remember, I have instructed my little bambinos to be nice little kiddies when they go to school soon, if any nasty words pop out of their mouths at school, you will be marched by Sarah to the school person in charge and he will deal with you".
Sarah hears this and smiles, then starts talking to Derek, John, Jenny, Allison about their 'nice' little chat upstairs, which draws lots of laughter.
Derek says "Cameron heard it all too, she must not use swear words or cursing either John, I hope you have got her trained".
'That sounds jibey to me but it doesn't matter, I still think it is funny' thought John as he smiled sarcastically at Derek.
This is Allison's moment: "Yes John, we need to be taught how to be ladies of 2009 soon, is the future leader of mankind up to the job?" Big smile.
All eyes on John ... "I will delegate Mom for that job, add to her resume, 'language coach' ".

3 hours earlier, Sonia says these words to Lesley after some thought "I know why you like me. It is because I look like Sofia Vassilieva but I also know there is more than that. You want to find out more about me and there is a lot more to me than you could ever imagine. You enjoyed my responses to the things that you said to me. When you first approached me with your smile, I knew you was genuine.
I like you because you are pretty, not because you resemble Uma Thurman's younger self. You are good at gymnastics and sport and one day you will be very important.
I want to learn how to feel things the same way that other people do in relationships. I want you to be that person and teach me how a woman should feel. I have feelings, sensations, and I want to know if I can ever love you. Our relationship must be special. Could you reciprocate and feel that you could not be without me, no matter what I am like?"
Lesley is puzzled by this sudden outpouring, not really dwelling on the 'no matter what I am like' bit and says a few words then asks a simple question.
"Wow, that was quite something, I am quite shocked. I never thought that far in to the future but if that is what you want, and then I am certainly keen to go all the way with you if necessary and see how things turn out.
You do realize that at school I get hassle from quite a few of the other students, would this worry you?"
"No" says Sonia, "words do not hurt me, I am used to them because of what I am. I have heard lots of things from people that are supposed to be friends". (Sonia is thinking of herself as Cameron in the future with John).
Lesley says "Firstly Sonia, I need to know that you feel sexually attracted to me, it is no good if you just like me?"
Sonia knows that she can create this emotion and is determined to add this sensation to a special part of her database and let it grow to the point that she is reliant on it, just like hard-coding.
She looks at Lesley and says "that is not a problem I have already got 'a girl crush' on you. The kind of 'girl crush' that stirs me. It is your job to help this feeling grow in me because I want you very much".
(Sonia chose the words 'girl crush' after hearing it on TV).
Inside Sonia's chip mind she is whirring her thoughts around, trying to find something from her infiltration techniques for this situation but there is not much there and she does not want to think of Allison.
All of a sudden she hears Lesley say "Aren't you going to try and loosen me up with a few drinks, hell I can see you need loosening up too".
Sonia knows this means alcohol and says "I don't know what we have. I will go and have a look".
Over in a cabinet there is an assortment and she reads the labels, passing the information to Lesley. When she returns with the required bottle and 2 glasses, Lesley makes a suggestion.
"Tonight is a special night. I don't think we should stay in. Why don't you take me out to a nightclub somewhere with dancing girls and flashing lights".
This is where things and choices are not wisely made: Sonia says "I know a nice place where we can watch a girly show. We might have a good time".
As she drinks, Lesley says "Great, fill me in. Ooh I hate that phrase, guys say things like that to me, let me rephrase that... tell me how we can get there".
"I think I know what you mean by that phrase, has it got something to do with burying your body?"
Lesley laughs a lot and eventually says "no silly, I mean tell me the answer, like a crossword puzzle... not the other that men would like to... come on Sonny, surely you must have cottoned on by now?"
Sonia says "oh, I understand now, it means ejaculating, thank you for explaining".
"That's all right, that's what I'm here for but you really don't have to get right to the point - I have a lot of work to do with you". said Lesley
"Really, am I lacking a lot of human understanding?" said Sonia (who worded it that way as a hint).
Lesley says, "as soon as you are ready let's go, I am looking forward to some entertainment tonight" as she smiles at her with an impish grin.
Sonia takes her date out in the SUV to the 'Club Paradiso' as she knows what the entertainment should be like, after talking to Cameron. She thinks Lesley will enjoy this because women do sexy dancing, or so she thinks because men like it. Lesley likes girls, so she should like it too.
She parks up and walks arm in arm with Lesley down the street and around the corner. She knows they will not be allowed guns but is not too concerned as John is safe with Cameron, Sarah and the others. She has left weapons concealed in the SUV and because Sarah is always careful, has a radio transmitter in their vehicles that will alert her if the car alarm goes off through her receiver in her handbag.
Upon entering the club, Sonia will not be recognized as she has not been there before. They find a place to buy a drink, which is quite expensive.
Lesley says "this place is not exactly what I had in mind but I will stay a while and see how things go".
Sonia replies "Oh, you must choose where to go if we go out together again".
The pair find a seat & sit down near the front.
Sonia is constantly checking their environment, listening but most importantly watching Lesley to assess her response to the girls. After a while she says "do you like this kind of thing?"
Lesley says "not really, it is too coarse for me, I prefer class".
"Oh, I am sorry, shall I take you somewhere nicer?" said Sonia.
"How about bed? I think you are the class that I have in mind"
Sonia looks at Lesley, she is smiling. She can see the idea makes her happy. This is the outcome that Sonia has planned anyway, as she wants to experience 'the human experience' and Lesley is ideal.
She smiles at Lesley and agrees to her idea.
As the pair get up, the guys on the next table look at them. One of them says "are you getting ready to come on next gals?"
"No, we are going because this place has not got any taste" says Lesley.
"you could change that if you were to take their places, how about it?" he says.
"No thanks, come on Sonia, lets get going".
They get up and leave but as they walk towards the entrance, the guys get up. They have drunk quite a bit and the mouthy one feels a little insulted. He walks quickly towards the entrance to catch up with Sonia & Lesley - the other guys follow.
The moment Sonia is walking down the street with Lesley, she detects multiple fast footsteps behind.
They walk around the corner and the footsteps develop in to running.
"Walk to the car Lesley, I need to do something. Do not stop" says Sonia.
Lesley is nervous and walks on. The 4 guys turn the corner, Sonia is standing there waiting for them.
"Ah, so you waited for us, look guys, she is up for it. I don't suppose your friend is interested too is she?" he says with a massive grin on his face.
"I am here to warn you to walk back to the club, otherwise I will have to deal with all of you. I do not want my girlfriend to come to any harm, so you must walk away now".
They all laugh loud and one of them walks towards Lesley. This is it, the action starts now.
Sonia rushes after the guy that is heading for Lesley and pushes him in to a car. The other 3 run up to Sonia and grab her arms and legs. She kicks her leg up which meets his midriff and he flies backwards. Then wisks her arms in the air releasing the other 2's grips.
One of them produces a knife and points it towards Sonia - he says "now stay still and do as I say and you will be OK".
Lesley screams "Sonia", who in turn hits the guy without a knife across the side of his shoulder knocking him sideways.
The knife is plunged in to Sonia's chest beneath her breasts but of course only her blouse and flesh are pierced.
"Sonia no 'SCREEK' ".
Sonia's eyes turn red, she lifts the man up the same way that a mother would lift her child and throws him through the back window of a car.
Sonia turns, walks towards Lesley, clicks open the car and then says "Lesley, please come with me".
Lesley snaps out of it, her mouth was open but now it is shut. She does as she is told and opens the car door and gets in. Then she looks behind her out of the rear window, stares at the men, of which only the one on the pavement is moving.
"How did you do that?" she says. "It is not a problem for me. You are my girlfriend and I will protect you. I want to take you home to bed, you asked me to too."
"You sure can. I was really freaked out back there. I hope you're not thinking of changing your mind?"
"No".
Off they drive. Sonia wonders if it is true that if your girlfriend has the shit scared out of her, it makes her more sexy? 'I will ask Lesley tomorrow and also ask her why they phrase it that way'.

Midnight arrives at Jenny's house, they give her the task of counting down from 60 using Cameron's chronometer. Cameron stands behind Jenny, sees everyone's joy at what she is doing and a smile comes to her face.
She whispers, having just been shown what a whisper is like by Dean who showed her with a pretty good demonstration. Mind you, Cameron did have to modify her voice to sound like a whisper because there is not any air in her non-existent lungs to force through her lips but she made do with a pretty awesome emulation which was greeted with claps and "whoo hoo" etc.
60, 60, 59, 59 down to 3, 3, 2, 2, 1, 1 - "HAPPY NEW YEAR". John is still dialing Sonia's cellphone but there is still not any reply.

2 hours earlier, when Sonia & Lesley arrive home, they get out the car and shut the doors. It is at that moment that Lesley says "Sonny, you have been stabbed, I will phone an ambulance" she pulls out her phone.
"There is not any need, I am not hurt, it is only a flesh wound. Please put the phone away, my wound can be treated indoors".
Lesley does so and walks with Sonia to the door, looking at her face, her wound, her face, her wound, her face, her wound.
When they get indoors Lesley says "please let me treat that for you, it must hurt like mad".
"We can go upstairs to the bathroom and you can wash it, I will bring a needle and cotton up with me" said Sonia.
"What, is it that bad?" "Yes, it is 4 inches wide. Would you like to sew it up for me, I feel that you should know more about me for our relationship to develop" said Sonia, who should not be saying or doing things like this but is using her own free will to develop a relationship without any secrets or lies.
Lesley stays quiet because she is not sure what to say and follows Sonia upstairs after she fetched the darning box. She sits on a chair next to the bath, removes her top and Lesley gasps.
"Oh my god, what are you? You're not normal, why do you have metal on your chest? It's under your skin, have you had an operation?"
"No Lesley, would you please sit down next to me, I don't want you to be frightened, I am not here to hurt you, I want to learn to love you if you will let me. Here, I have threaded the needle, would you please sew it up for me?" Sonia has bent the very thin needle.
Lesley stands up and backs towards the door aghast.
Sonia says "If you want to go, I will understand. I will wait for you. That is how relationships work. Please come back one day".
Lesley backs out of the door, goes downstairs and slides out the front door, looking backwards all the time.
Sonia does the job herself and very soon she is sewn up & cleaned up. She sits there and processes what has happened. She had made her mind up she wanted Lesley and now she has gone. She just sat there, playing events over and over until there was not much more left to think. Only 15 minutes had passed.
She got up, went downstairs and saw the door was open just wide enough for Lesley to slip out.
She leaves the door open and sits on the settee just staring at it, almost as though she was in standby, perhaps she was.
Another 32m 45s passes, and then all of a sudden the door creaked.
Sonia looked up expecting only 1 person. There she was, Lesley. Sonia's eyes began to produce a few tears of happiness, the emotion that she had pushed to the limit of her panning for extreme happiness. Almost immediately a massive smile came to her lips and she sat there with her lip looking like it was pouting.
Lesley walks over, sees Sonia and cannot believe what she is seeing. She kneels down in front of Sonia and puts her arms around her.
"You're mine, all mine and that's how it is going to stay. You're special, I don't want anybody else to have you." said Lesley.
A kind of low pitch sobbing wail comes from Sonia.
Lesley gets up, walks towards the stairs and says "bed, which one is it?"
Sonia jumps up and a rush to the stairs then says "I will show you, and then you can have another look at my injury".
"I would like that. Sorry I ran off, I was frightened"'
"I thought you might be but I never took you out to be attacked on purpose, it just happened. I need help from you in choosing what is best for you. It will be New Year in 10 minutes, are you ready to celebrate?"
"Definitely, with a bang but I have a lot of questions to ask and depending on whether you answer them depends on how things proceed" says Lesley with a smirk.
Lesley has changed her stance now and the pair sits on the side of the bed.
Lesley asks Sonia all the obvious questions but before that she says to Sonia
"I never planned to have feelings for someone like you, what planet did you come from" she says in a manner that she hopes will be answered with the correct replies.
"I was built by a highly evolved computer here in the year 2024. It was self-aware and developed exponentially at a phenomenal speed and built me to infiltrate the human resistance.
My model was designed to be attractive to their leader. Once I met him, I was programmed to kill him but the computer did not envisage that my advanced chip would develop an ability to think for itself.
I chose not to join the Skynet computer in its bid to destroy the human race because the final outcome would leave this planet barren of all living things.
Humans are intrinsically flawed but they have the ability to rise above things that are bad and create a life much more worthwhile than Skynet ever could.
I was sent back from 2027 to protect a male in my group.
Recently I returned to 2024 to fetch my exact Cyborg self and later named it Sonia, who is in fact my own self from the same reality, originally named Cameron, who is also in our group".
Lesley replies "really? I don't entirely understand, nor can I believe those things are possible but because you are here, I guess it must be possible.
Are you completely like me or are you not quite? What I mean is... er... let's put it this way, if I had a look or a feel, would I find that you can have a baby?"
Sonia looks slightly unhappy but is still OK with the question and says "I am just like you but I do not possess anything behind my uterus. There is not any room in my frame for a womb or the organs necessary to sustain a growing fetus.
Does that upset you?"
Lesley says "No, but it is sad. You told me you wanted to experience things from me like normal woman but it would not be possible if I could not be turned on by you. You are like me, so I am happy.
In fact, you are so terrifically different, that I am in awe of you".
To break the ice, Lesley puts her arms up then places her hands on Sonia's neck then quickly gives her a kiss on the lips, a real hard smacker.
"Make sure you show me your feelings of pleasure Sonia, I need to know if I make you happy" said Lesley
"I will, I promise".
The time after this is well spent and Sonia is enjoying all that Lesley dreams up. She was so carried away by the terrific sexual experiences that she did not do something as trivial as checking her cellphone. Lesley turned it off to ensure privacy 3 minutes earlier whilst her other hand was doing amazing things.
Lesley loves Sonia's response, 'so much like other girls... and more'. Also, thoughts buzz through her mind like 'this is madness' and 'why am I so excited by this robot' and 'she is so real' and 'will the novelty wear off' but most of all 'this hot girl is my girl, my dirty little secret'.
It is that last thought that drives Lesley on with excited vigor, but trying to be as sensitive as possible to see if Sonia can feel it.
'Kissing around' and gentle squeezing of breasts whilst causing sensations elsewhere are just part of the pattern of events. 'Hurting a little is nice'.
Sonia occasionally looks down past her stomach to see if it really is a tongue causing all that pleasure.
'This is amazing, her tastes and smells really are like other girls, this is great, she is really real' thinks Lesley.
Then she thinks 'and getting moister too!'.
This seems to go on for quite a long time, 1h 24 minutes to be precise before they even change places.
1h 33m later...
All of a sudden, unheard by Sonia who has devoted all her major processing to the incredible sensations that she is feeling, such as the penetration of Lesley's hand, some figures start to walk up the stairs.
Now Sonia has heard something, she lets go of Lesley's shoulders, jumps backwards to free herself from Lesley's hand with a 'sloop' and pushes her on the floor with an "aaaagghh" as the door flies open.
There they are, piling in the room one by one with guns drawn.
The 2 bed girls are starker's and easy targets.
"What the hell is this" says Derek, "I never thought I would say this again but now I really have seen it all"
"Lesley" shouts Sonia, "help me".
"Help you in what way" said Allison, laughing her head off.
This brings a smile to Sarah's lips and she says "happy new year", pretty witty for her newly invigorated brain.
John smiles, holds Cameron's hand and says "Take your clothes off Cameron, we seem to be witnessing and missing something special here". Cameron puts her hands down to pull her top up but John grabs her hands and says "I was only joking, silly joke, don't bother trying to understand it, it just popped in to my head and now it must be erased".
"Shall we leave you 2 girls alone now Sonia, or would you prefer to introduce us? - I still need an explanation why you refused to answer your phone but I guess you did not want to?"
Derek jumps in, holds his hand out, "I'm Derek" and walks towards Lesley for a joke. Predictably she yells "get away from me".
"Only joking, come on guys let's get out of here, I think we spoilt something", then he turns and walks out before someone says something like "perv" or "too young".
Sonia speaks up and says "I did not switch my phone off John, did you switch it off Lesley?"
"Errr yes, I wanted you to myself uninterrupted, I had no idea the infantry would burst in... sorry" said Lesley".
John says to Sonia "ground rules, Sonia" not realizing that Lesley was 'in the picture' now.
When they all leave the room Lesley stands up, looks at Sonia and says "hell, that was fun" then starts laughing. Sonia just stares at her.
"Come on Sonia, that was funny, being caught in the act by your family, hell that was awful. They will go downstairs and laugh about it. They won't tell anybody else will they?"
"No, they definitely won't. I find it difficult to laugh like you do, is that going to make you dislike me?"
Lesley immediately says "Of course not, you have lots of other attributes which I like. Many of them were discovered tonight. It's time to change places again now, you haven't finished with me yet and I don't care who else is in the house, you have got me hot".
Sonia interprets 'hot' as good for a human producing endorphins and enjoying each other's bodies, then she says "OK, if you are willing, it is my turn to test your responses"
"Oh really" said Lesley, as she throws herself backwards on the bed.
"God Mom, neither of them seems to give a damn".
Then Sarah hears more "Oh, not again. John, it is bad enough with you" says Sarah.
Derek & Allison laugh, then Derek says "are you sure there is not a man out there somewhere for you Sarah, I hate seeing you alone."
Allison says "time for some matchmaking for you Sarah, tomorrow we will go out and find you a man, even if it means kidnapping one".
Sarah's phone rings. "J-day 2011 Sarah, is everybody OK, what happened to Sonia, I'm worried".
"Hello Jenny, sorry I did not call you immediately, we had a situation to witness. Nothing bad, funny in fact but I 'm not sure you want to know the details from me".
"Why not, what do you mean by funny? You have to tell me".
Sarah gives the phone to Allison and says "tell Jenny what happened, I'm not going to. If you would prefer Cameron do it, please yourself".
Allison thinks it would be fun to hear Cameron's version of events and hands the phone to Cameron.
"Me?"
"Yes Cameron, call it 'learning to join in' ".
John & Derek smile on.
Cameron takes the phone and starts talking "Hello Jenny, I am puzzled why Allison wants me to explain when she was asked to do it by Sarah but because Sarah does not want to tell you I think there is something to tell you that bothers them".
"For god's sake, tell me".
"OK, we entered the premises at 2.48am and heard noises coming from upstairs, it sounded as though Sonia was suffering which led me to believe she was unable to switch off her sensational responses and pain receptors.
We all rushed upstairs and I pushed the door open. We all had our weapons ready to shoot anything that was attacking her.
When I looked at Sonia she was lying naked and I thought she was going to be skinned by an unknown naked human who was on the floor next to the bed.
When the human yelled "aaaagghh" I was ready to shoot her but Sonia ratted to me "Stop Cameron, do not kill her, she is my friend".
"Ratted?"
"Yes, as I explained, spoke to me in rat frequency which is inaudible to humans".
"Oh, yes. Then what happened?"
Mimicking all their voices exactly as she heard them, Cameron continues explaining in great detail:
Derek said "What the hell is this, I never thought I would say this again but now I really have seen it all".
Sonia said "Lesley, help me".
Allison said "Help you in what way" and then she started laughing.
At this point Jenny is laughing
Sarah said "happy new year".
(The Connor camp are laughing too, just in case anybody thinks they were not.)
John said "Take your clothes off Cameron, we seem to be witnessing and missing something special here" but when I tried John stopped me and said "I was only joking, silly joke, don't bother trying to understand it, it just popped in to my head and now it must be erased".
John then said "Shall we leave you 2 girls alone now Sonia, or would you prefer to introduce us? I still need an explanation why you refused to answer your phone but I guess you did not want to?"
Derek then held his hand out and said "I'm Derek" as he walked towards Lesley.
Lesley yelled "get away from me".
Derek said "Only joking, come on guys let's get out of here, I think we spoilt something", then he turned and walked out of the room.
Sonia said "I did not switch my phone off John, did you switch it off Lesley?"
Lesley said "Errr yes, I wanted you to myself uninterrupted, I had no idea the infantry would burst in... sorry".
John said to Sonia "ground rules, Sonia".
This is all too much for both ends of the phone line and John says during his laughter "Cameron, believe me that was the best explanation I have ever heard, I could not have done it better hahaha".
"That is OK, I like to please you John" said Cameron with a big smile on her lips whilst handing the phone back to Sarah.
Cameron was not seeing anything funny about what she said. 'I will talk to Sonia about this some other time and see if we need to ask the others to explain their behavior' thinks Cameron.
Sarah says to Derek "Derek, Jenny needs to speak to you". "Me?" "Yes, why not?"
Derek takes the phone and everybody in the room hears him speaking with a surprised look on his face and suddenly starts waving his arm in the air.
"It was a joke", "no I was not trying to get a better look", "what do you mean by that?", "no I am not, I have got a girlfriend of my own", "no I don't", "how dare you, I am not like that", "this is too much, you'd better be winding me up".
Jenny then laughs and says "happy new year Derek, are we still friends?"
"So, another joker in the camp, typical. We will get along fine Jenny. Happy new year to you too".
Derek looks at them all smiling and points his finger at Sarah.
Back at Jenny's house, everybody is still up and very anxious. All they could understand was Jenny saying those things to Derek, which sounded rather weird.
Conny & Ricci demand an explanation from her. She quite happily obliges. A good end to the evening.
Meanwhile, Lesley gets her 'cum-uppance', for lack of a better word.
"Let's go up Cam, it's late, I want to get up at a reasonable time".
"I can't John, I need to patrol outside", said Cameron who saw an immediate glum look on Allison's face.
John replies "I think it is safe out there" but Cameron replies "nobody is ever safe and there might be additional danger out there".
Cameron is careful to be discreet but speaks to Allison when she goes upstairs and says "go to John, he still loves you. It is OK, please go for me, I have to patrol tonight, it is essential".
Allison looks at Cameron and feels really awkward.
"Please, for me and John" Says Cameron, who tries to use words that say 'it is OK'.
Allison visits the bathroom and honors Cameron and her own feelings in the hope that John will be happy to see her.
When she arrives in his room, he is. Tonight it is late but John finds enough enthusiasm & stamina at his young age to attack Allison like a first encounter and she enjoys every moment.
"Is this my punishment?" she says.
"That depends, am I hurting you?"
Allison cannot believe what he does but loves every moment, feeling sure that she will feel quite sore in the morning... pleasantly so.
She sleeps well.
Sarah has a clear mind now and her ability to look at the whole picture realizes that things like Empathy, human society & culture, nature, all things considered = nothing really matters providing nobody else is involved. 'Things will work themselves out for John, of that I'm sure' she thinks, as she listens to her 'son's extra attention to Allison' wondering what it must be like.

The following morning, Cameron has done her walk around the block, fully armed and on the lookout for danger, especially now that Sonia ratted her information on their 4 attackers. It was deemed that only 2 or 3 of them would be undamaged enough to attempt revenge and she wonders if they should be terminated.
She goes back indoors and meets Sonia sitting at the computer.
Earlier on, Sonia had slipped out from under the covers at 4.23am and had a bathroom session before turning on the computer. She has already been told by Cameron that Lesley is a threat in 2009 but rebuffed her and said that she is her girlfriend and she does not want any harm to come to her, she is already falling in love with her.
Cameron detected by their conversation that Sonia is developing strong emotions, just as she did for her own John.
Cameron also discussed with Sonia the problem that she faces with the rest of the team and that her best tactic would be to try and convince Sarah & John that Lesley is worthy of their fight against Skynet.
This can only be accomplished if she can encourage Lesley to continue with her fitness and driven desire to be good at what she does and learn as much as she can just like John did from Sarah.
This is the only way.
It is already known by the cyborgs that Leslie is in the future resistance aged c.35 in 2027 but she was a radio operator and doubled up as a cook, she never met Sonia in 2008.
This is the last day that the teens have to themselves until they return to school.
Derek has got up and readied himself to return to Jesse before he is apprehended by somebody with awkward questions about girlfriend or additional dangerous missions like last night !
Sarah is up next and has got a plan in mind to get more cash. She readies herself and leaves the house before John emerges from his nightly bliss with Allison, who was all the more keen after last night's excitement.
At 9.03, Cameron tells Sonia that she will give her some privacy, as Lesley is stirring. Cameron goes in to the back garden and stands guard there.
Lesley eventually walks downstairs at 9.34 and asks Sonia why she is sitting at the computer.
"We are looking for threats that will create the future I told you about" said Sonia.
Lesley replies "I wanted to find you when I woke up, it would have been nice to wake up and find the person that drove me wild last night lying next to me, so that I could hold her, kiss her and tell her nice things".
"Oh, I did not know, sorry Lesley".
"That's OK, you asked me to teach you these things so now you know. I am up now, so I will make us a drink, what would you like?" said Lesley.
"I do not drink". "Oh, that's not something you told me about, what about food?" "No".
Lesley says "something else we can talk about the next time we are alone together, I'm sure you have got lots of secrets".
Sonia replies "Yes, but they are not secrets, just things that you have not been told or found out yet".
"Yes of course. By the way, I have to be home at 12, Dad has ordered that I be there when Gran and Granpop arrive. I can take you with me but you must pretend to be a friend and not a lover, can you do that Sonny?"
"OK, I will come with you if you want me to, that is what being friends is about... being together... right?"
"Yep, sure is", as Lesley walks over and 'kiss kiss kiss' "you must promise, not even holding hands".
Sonia will not talk to Lesley about her 'rat' with Cameron until the next time they meet because she understands that the human brain cannot always process the enormity, complexity or consequences of a conversation or experience.
A short time later, the girlfriends leave the house, holding hands down the road.
Cameron does not need telling where they are going and Lesley never told her, assuming that Sonia had but of course 'the walls have ears' and it was not necessary.
Previously Sarah has obtained the address of Dr Silberman from the address finder website which uses local voting records. She needed a little help from Sonia and she easily came up with the goods.
After a 3 and half hour drive, she arrives at his cabin up in the hills surrounded by tranquility, trees, birds etc.
She sneaks in the back with her little present that Sonia had available after her experiences as Cameron.
He is sitting at a Desk reading papers.
She waits until he stands and walks through the door, then she pounces and inserts the syringe. He passes out.
Upon rifling through all his things she is not surprised to find an assortment of drugs. He has a computer but she does not have the passwords. She gets on the cellphone to Sonia and tells her the phone number of his landline internet connection. Very soon Sonia is accomplishing what Skynet does best, enter computers like a virus. She obtains lists of drugs which are displayed on Dr Silberman's computer.
Sarah thanks Sonia and tells her that she has done a great job and she is extremely proud of her - good words from 'The Mom Sarah'.
Sonia says "I believe Dr Silberman is using initials as hints for his passwords which he has on a list. I will attempt to ascertain what they are".
The desired drug for inducing a kind of semi-hallucagenic effect is found and Sarah waits for Dr Silberman to stir. She has got plenty of doses, so she should accomplish her 'evil deed'.
She sets up his camcorder facing him. Using a cable tie, she ties him to a heavy table, out of range of anything to assist him.
He stirs, prick (out of camera sight), Sarah waits a while. This is it, the fun begins.
"Hello Dr Silberman, are you ready for me to follow your script?"
"I don't know what you mean"
"Ah yes, that is how the script starts, you pretend to not know me. OK you male bitch, we start here.
Do you remember me?"
"Sarah... are you Sarah Connor?"
"Right first time, I died but now I have resurrected and I will not leave you alone - I will haunt you for the rest of your days".
Quite groggy "no, it can't be you?"
"How is the knee Dr Silberman?"
"My god, it is you"
"Yes but now I am dead. Do you remember when I had a syringe in your neck, I wanted to squirt the whole lot in to you and only my terrific self-control saved you".
"No Sarah, how can you? You are not real, no no no."
"Believe it, I am dead". Sarah walks towards the kitchen waving her arms in the air and wailing. She takes off her thin skin colour glove.
She walks back and faces him (always out of camera shot showing her face).
She has got a knife. "nobody can kill me now, watch". She goes over to him, waves the knife in his face and cackles, slices his cheek to make it bleed, then stabs the point in to her palm". It starts to bleed.
She pulls his head back, "drink the blood of Sarah Connor, then you will have everlasting life". He struggles but she holds her hand over his mouth and shouts close to his face "DRINK, DRINK AND LIVE FOREVER, HAHA".
Eventually he cannot breathe because with the same hand she has the fingers pointing upwards and squeezes his nose between her index and middle finger. He licks her palm and she gives him air through his nose.
"Keep going, not enough, you need more".
His face goes a little red and eventually she stop and says in a loud voice "NOW YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER IN HELL" cackle cackle.
"Now, we are finished. Remember, I cannot die".
Meanwhile Sonia has transferred all of his money to their special bank account, which is like a staging post for further transfer to another account - undetectable by the time Dr Silberman has been released. The password was so unbelievably obvious, if you have a fixation about somebody close by.
Sarah gives him another dose, then puts her glove back on and carries him to the bedroom after releasing him. Lays him on the bed and ties him to the posts.
Finally it is now 4.33pm, Sarah rings the local police from his phone and says "Hi, I am not going to give my name but this nutty professor at the cabin of Dr Silberman is a drug addict. He hired me and asked me to do all kinds of kinky things. Eventually he asked me to tie him to the bed. I said 'how are you going to escape'. He said he did not want to because I was some broad named Sarah Connor and he was in love with her, whoever she might be. I think he is suffering from dementia or something. I must go now".
She takes her thin gloves off.
On the way home, Sarah phones Sonia and asks her how much. "$750,294.34" Sonia says.
"Great, that should be enough for now. Another great days work Sonia, that high interest account seems to be losing money for him, we can have a decent living now - you're a great gal".
Sarah wants to treat Sonia like a daughter, she is not entirely sure why but her clear brain seems to have an instinct awoken by her experiences in the future.
Sarah gets home at 8.35 in the evening, with 2 big bags. She stopped off on the way home and bought a special present for Sonia & Cameron, plus clothes for John.
She then phones Jenny and makes some arrangements.

A while later, the sight that greets the police, rantings of Sarah Connor, the video of an unknown voice acting out his request, even mentioning his bad knee and root liquid. This drug addict has got a problem.
Sarah thought she would add to his problems by tugging down his breeches and opening his shirt.
Although talking as though stoned out of his mind, this is the beginning of the conversation with one of the police officers:
"She drugged me". "Who did?" "Sarah Connor". "OK, we will find out who she is. Here, your arms are untied. Is she on the video Mr Silberman?" "Yes she is. She filmed the whole thing".
The video is switched on.
The cop says "that girl is acting out your fantasy by the sounds of it. I suggest we take you down the police station to liven you up. In the meantime you are under arrest for possessing illegal drugs. You have the right...

Next time, things are OK for a while. School starts and Allison finds her niche with Sonia's help - they create a new club.
Cameron goes out on a job and Riley picks this moment to strike whilst the lookalikes are busy doing other things.
The team is being observed and things get a bit awkward for Sonia - more than once.
Derek calls on Jesse's reluctant help.
