Chapter 1304

Here Now

Savannah entered through the opening that was created by Cammy in the interior wall. She saw that Cammy was at the door that led to a hall that connected to one of the doors they saw in the front lobby area.

As soon as Savannah was clear of the opening, Cam slid a file cabinet sideways in front of the opening and then slid a desk up against that. The way in was now blocked if anyone followed them. That was unless they were a Terminator. Not much would slow them down.

Savannah checked her time. They still had twenty four minutes left on the hour she'd asked Young Allison for before she sent in more help.

Cammy looked back at Cam and Savannah and indicated it was clear to move out of the office and into the hall.

Cammy looked up and down the hall before she exited. There were no surveillance cameras evident. There were two doors on the other side of the hall and two more on this side. They knew from the blueprints that one of them was a small restroom with a toilet and washbasin. There was a door at one end into the lobby and another door at the far end of the hall that led into a larger workroom area.

Cammy went directly across the hall to the door on the far wall and opened it. The room was dark. She scanned it and determined there was no one in that room. It held some office furniture much like the room they'd entered into from the opening in the wall from the lobby. She exited the room.

Cam was out now and walked in back of Cammy off to one side. Savannah followed down the hall on the same side as Cammy.

Cam looked back and motioned for Savannah to hold. Cam and Cammy looked at each other and they both opened the last door on each side of the hall at the same time.

Cam's room appeared to be filled with boxes of various sizes. Many of them were empty. If they had time she would need to come back and see what else was in the boxes that weren't empty. She would try to determine where they originated at and if any shipping information could be gleaned. They might be able to get a few more leads to follow up on. They were looking for any people now, none were spotted. She came back out into the hall.

Cammy opened her door. The room was mostly empty. There were a few odd pieces of furniture inside and not much else. She went back into the hall. This was the room with the window that they first thought might be open when they were outside. She went back into the hall to join Cam and Savannah. There was one other door and it was the small restroom. It was empty.

Cam followed the overhead drone scans to make sure they did not miss anything or there were no surprises. There were no errant heat signatures and nothing else moved around.

Cammy walked back to Savannah.

"There are other teams that have moved closer to back us up." Cammy said. "They are still outside the building. Do you want more personnel to assist us?"

Savannah was about to point out to Cammy that it was her idea that she wanted to go in solo. There was no need to 'rock the boat'.

"Not yet." Savannah said. "We don't know if we are in a bomb yet or sitting on one."

Cam went to open the door at the end or the hall that led to the workroom floor.

Summer led Gail by the hand. Gail was a little reluctant to follow her at first but soon she was more cheerful looking and moved along freely with her. Jan and Hanna followed behind them.

"Where are we going?" Jan asked.

Hanna looked at her.

"I don't know." Hanna said.

Jan and Hanna continued to follow Summer and Gail.

Gail was a little taken aback by Summer at first. It pleased her when Summer took her hand. She began to scan her. It filled her with a very pleasant feeling as she did. This is how she felt when she was with Savannah. She soon felt some excitement as to a new adventure of some type.

They were soon on the pool deck.

Jan looked around.

"Are we going to go swimming?" Jan asked. "It's cold now."

Summer thought that might be interesting to see Gail in the water. She wondered if she'd ever been in a pool before. She also looked at Gail's low cut dress and wondered how she would look in a bikini. She thought it would be pretty impressive.

"I don't swim." Gail said. "I can go in the water. I don't want to get my dress wet."

It looked like Gail was about to take her dress off.

Jan looked on with awe.

Hanna moved up.

"If we go in the water, we need to wear the proper attire." Hanna said.

Gail looked around.

"I know." Gail said. "I was trying to be funny."

That brought a round of laughter from Summer and Jan. When they both thought she was serious, it was not funny. Once they understood it was a joke, it was funny.

"You fooled me." Jan said.

Gail looked at Summer and wondered if she fooled her.

"Savannah has taught me to try to have a lighter side." Gail said. "I told her I weigh the same on both sides."

That made Jan and Summer laugh again.

Hanna did not know what to make of it. What Gail said both times was funny once you knew she was joking. She knew that Savannah tried to work with all the Terminators to help them out and so they could improve themselves. It made them all love Savannah more. They all knew that Gail felt it 'real bad' for Savannah.

Whenever Hanna and Gail shared, Gail always asked her after they finished the first time if she could be 'Savannah' for her. Hanna did not have a problem with doing that. She would rather play 'Vanna' but playing Savannah always made her feel good about herself. Gail would really treat her special and she could feel the love radiate from her.

Hanna saw they were on the deck that contained a selection of eating venues.

"Are you girls going to get something to eat?" Hanna asked.

Summer looked at Jan.

"We can if Jan wants anything." Summer said.

Hanna knew they were also close to the miniature golf area where she was with Sarah and Kyle earlier.

"Are we going to play miniature golf?" Hanna asked. "It's in the front and up a deck and a half."

Jan liked both of those ideas.

"I want to get a snack and play miniature golf." Jan said.

Hanna was worried it was a little cool out now with a cold breeze.

"Are you going to be warm enough?" Hanna asked. "I can go back and get your sweater."

It was decided that the girls would look at the desserts and Hanna would return to their suite and get their sweaters. They would play miniature golf after that. Bob would come up to make sure there were no problems since the miniature golf area was already closed for the night. CamNet would make sure the area was well lit.

Hanna went down the rear stairway to go the suite deck. She heard someone in front of her a couple of decks down as she descended. It was two females talking. It sounded a lot like Sheila and Ally. Hanna paused to listen. It was them. This sounded like it was going to be good. It appeared they were in the stairwell to avoid detection by anyone on the ship or by CamNet and John Henry if they were 'listening'.

They'd all learned that CamNet was always listening. CamNet was out to protect the 'Natural Order'. She was always on the lookout for Savannah and Young Allison. She also watched out for Cameron and John.

Hanna listened to their conversation and found it very interesting. She decided to have some fun with them since they were about to wrap up the conversation.

Earlier:

Sheila led Ally down the stairs when they left. They stopped at the platform of the first half flight of steps down.

Sheila looked around.

Ally looked a little worried.

"What's going on?" Ally asked.

Sheila wanted to make sure there was nothing that could pick up their conversation.

"I wanted to make sure we were alone." Sheila said.

Ally seldom saw anyone in a stairwell.

"We are." Ally said. "Everyone uses the elevators on the ship."

Sheila wanted to address something about the new girls, Mary and Laura.

"I wanted to say something where CamNet could not hear us." Sheila said.

Ally wondered where this was going. She looked around with an uneasy feeling.

"What would that be?" Ally asked.

Sheila went over their personal observation.

"You saw Mary and Laura didn't interact with any males even when they were approached." Sheila said.

Ally was pleased to make that same observation.

"I did see that." Ally said.

The medical records bothered Sheila.

"What if the information we looked at was planted by CamNet?" Sheila asked.

That caught Ally by surprise.

"Why would she do that?" Ally asked.

Sheila was sure it was intentionally done to send a message.

"It could be to keep us away from them and a possible sexual encounter." Sheila said.

With what Ally saw, sex with them looked like a slam dunk.

"I think a sexual encounter is guaranteed." Ally said. "Once we start on them they are going to want more."

Sheila still felt the 'warning'.

"I agree." Sheila said. "Anyway, I think CamNet is 'telling' us not to push it."

Ally saw it a little differently.

"There is always the possibility those medical records were correct too." Ally said.

Sheila was bothered by the repeat tests, especially for HIV.

"That would indicate they got around a lot at some point." Sheila said.

Ally thought Sheila should play it safe.

"I think if you really want to be with John and have Cameron in control of your chassis that you'd better cool it." Ally said.

Sheila knew Ally was hesitant to allow Cameron the use of her chassis.

"What about you?" Sheila asked.

Ally wanted to hear from Gail and Holly first.

"I don't know." Ally said.

Sheila checked her time.

"We'd better go before CamNet misses us." Sheila said.

They were alarmed as someone rapidly approached from the stairs above them.

"You're too late." Hanna said. "CamNet sent me to record your conversation. She heard everything."

Ally and Sheila were a little surprised to see Hanna appear from nowhere.

"You would not turn us in." Ally said. "The 'Vanna' in you would never turn on the 'Allison' in me."

Sheila did not think so either.

"She likes how we can make her feel too much to sell us out." Sheila said. "Maybe we should make her feel good now."

Hanna started laughing.

"You should have seen your faces." Hanna said.

Ally had a better idea.

"We could always throw her overboard." Ally said. "She should be able to walk back to land in a few days.

Hanna wondered about that.

"Where are you headed?" Hanna asked.

Ally wanted her to know.

"We are off to install a second set of rings on a female." Ally said. "It may be two females and four rings."

Sheila wanted Hanna to go with them.

"Do you want to come?" Sheila asked.

Hanna actually liked that idea and the play on words.

"I need to get sweaters for Jan and Summer. It is a little chilly on the upper deck." Hanna said. "They are going to play miniature golf. I played earlier. I made quite a few 'hole in ones'."

Ally thought of Cameron using their chassis.

"I think Sheila and you have already experienced too many 'hole in ones'." Ally said.

Sheila wanted to do it again.

"Don't knock it until you've tried it." Sheila said.

Hanna nodded.

"That's straight talk too." Hanna said.

Ally giggled a little.

"I bet it was straight." Ally said.

"You really need to give it a go." Sheila said.

Ally knew it was a one time deal.

"If I try it once, I'm no longer a virgin." Ally said. "Maybe I should say when Cameron tries it once. I'm no longer a virgin."

Hanna knew that was over in the first few seconds. It was no big deal.

"Now you know why we tried it multiple times." Hanna said.

Sheila did not want Ally hung up on technical terms.

"Easy 'come', easy go." Sheila said.

A lot already went on down there with the Metal girls.

"Once you've been compromised, at that point, what difference does it make?" Ally asked.

Sheila was ready to go again.

"The difference is; I want to do it again." Sheila said.

That thought excited Hanna.

"I do too." Hanna said.

Ally still was uneasy with the whole thing.

"Holly is probably in there right now." Ally said. "If Gail and Holly tell me the same thing as both of you, I'll think about it."

Sheila checked the time.

"We need to go." Sheila said.

Hanna looked at Ally.

"I guarantee you will be thinking about it by the end of tomorrow." Hanna said. "I'll see you two around."

Ally and Sheila went down the stairs and Hanna went back up a half flight of stairs to the suite deck.

Hanna emerged into the hallway of the suite deck and spotted Jim holding the door for Cameron, John and Holly.

She hurried to catch up to them.

Jim saw her coming and held the door to the private area for her.

"Thanks, Jim." Hanna said.

She only caught the door to the 'Owner's Suite closing.

"I wanted to wish Holly well." Hanna said.

Holly looked very content to Jim.

"I don't think that is necessary." Jim said. "She looked like she was pleased to go with Cameron. She seemed shy but eager."

Jim handed her Jan and Summer's sweaters.

Hanna was a little surprised.

"Thanks." Hanna said.

She wondered where this was headed.

"CamNet sent me a message to have them ready." Jim said. "She informed me you were detained in the stairwell."

That did not sound like good news to Hanna.

"I'm here now." Hanna said.

Hanna took one more look at the Owner's Suite door and left.

She took the elevator back up to the buffet. The elevator was there with the door open waiting for her. She did not offer any explanation on the ride it. The ride was in silence.

John was very excited as they headed back to the suite. He watched Cameron hold Holly's hand. He was not sure if it was to keep one of them from glitching or to keep Holly from 'escaping'.

John wanted to be with Holly so many times in the past when Cameron was 'gone'. He knew Holly wanted him to be with her too. It was his fear that if he'd started a relationship with Holly back then that it would signify that Cameron was really gone – terminated. He could not accept that thought. Only Savannah never gave up hope. Maybe it was Savannah that gave him what he needed to keep going at that time. Savannah always radiated hope.

As they approached the private area the door opened and Jim was there. He was holding two sweaters for some reason. Jim greeted them and they went straight for the Owner's Suite.

John quickly opened the door for Cameron and Holly. They both smiled at him as they entered.

John took in Holly's low cut dress and it really excited him. There was a lot packed into that dress.

Cameron led Holly straight to the bedroom. She seemed as anxious as John was to get started. She was familiar with every inch of Holly's sheath from her shared fifteen months on Holly's chip. She was already familiar with the sensations as Holly felt them. They were plain and dull at that time. Holly was mostly a basic Terminator back then. She was actually a Restorator. She hadn't explored herself sexually other than normal curiosity as to what everything looked like. Cameron was about to up Holly's game.

Holly was glad that Cameron took her hand and guided her along. She needed Cameron's strength and experience now. She'd discussed sex with a male with Allison, Vanna, Jesse and Claire before. Their views all differed wildly based on their level of abuse. Holly was not sure if the experience would be pleasurable like when she shared with the girls or somewhat violent and abusive. She was told not to expect to get much enjoyment out of it and that she most likely would not finish. Only Jesse was ever satisfied by a male before. Allison, Claire and Vanna never were. Vanna was never with a male by choice even though she'd been 'forced' to be with more than the other girls combined.

They were in the bedroom now and things would happen soon. Holly was very uneasy as to what would occur. She hoped Cameron plugged in and took control of her chassis as soon as possible.

John stood in front of her now and took both of her hands.

"I want to make sure that before anything happens that this is what you want to do. Is it?" John asked.

Holly always wanted to try it one time just to see what it was like for herself. She smiled at John and Cameron.

"It is, John." Holly said. "For me it is for several reasons that date back a few years for us."

John knew what she referred to.

"I do too, Holly." John said. "You know Cameron will be in complete control."

Holly looked at Cameron and smiled.

"I do." Holly said.

John was a little uneasy to hear that wording again.

Holly wanted John to know what Cameron promised her.

"I have agreed to allow Cameron to give my virginity to you with her in control of my chassis." Holly said. "I've asked that I will be allowed to be with you one time as myself and on my own at a later date."

John and Holly both looked at Cameron.

"That was the deal if it is acceptable to everyone." Cameron said. "It was the same deal for Sheila and Hanna."

None of the Metal girls so far thought a few minutes alone with John on their own was too much to ask for what they allowed Cameron to take from them. It would just be a simple act to really see what it was like. It couldn't hurt anything. It would only be a few minutes.

Cameron saw that Sheila must have been the one to 'turn down' the room. There was a small chocolate in front of each pillow and the tether cable neatly coiled between the chocolates.

Cameron picked up the cable. She went to plug it into Holly's neck.

"Can I remove my dress first myself?" Holly asked.

John quickly answered.

'Yes." John said.

Cameron looked at John but said nothing.

Holly removed her high heels and looked at John and then at Cameron as she removed her dress. Cameron took it from her and hung it up and moved her shoes away.

Holly adjusted her hair and smiled at both of them.

John could not believe how beautiful she was. He was sure this was to make him want his alone time with her. He wanted it.

"Can both of you strip too?" Holly asked.

In just a few seconds Cameron removed her dress and high heels.

Holly and Cameron faced each other.

Holly looked at Cameron and knew she was what she always wanted. Cameron provided her with every version of 'herself' that was available over the years except herself. It was clear than none of them matched Cameron's beauty. She was one of a kind in a field of many.

Holly moved her hair so Cameron could plug the tether in.

John hurried to remove his clothes. He was a little embarrassed that he was already at 'full attention' when he was naked.

John looked at Cameron and Holly standing naked side by side. It was a beautiful sight.

Cameron handed Holly the other end of the tether and moved her hair off to the side.

"When you plug this in you know what it means." Cameron said.

Holly smiled at her.

"I do." Holly said as she looked firmly at Cameron. "You do as well."

Cameron looked at John and then back at Holly and nodded.

Holly looked at John and then at Cameron and plugged the cable into Cameron's neck.

They all knew what was about to happen.

John was satisfied that there was no coercion. He was glad there was none on any of the Metal girl's parts so far. He wanted to keep it that way.

John could not help but to reach out and touch Holly's breasts. There were there and right in his face. Their size called to him. His hands quickly touched them. They were softer than he'd expected but yet firm also.

"I'm still over here." Cameron said.

John quickly released Holly's breasts.

"I'm sorry." John said. "I guess I jumped the gun."

Holly smiled at him. It was more than she'd expected.

Cameron was sure he was going to 'jump the gun' again as soon as he touched her in Holly's chassis. That was not going to give Holly or her a very good 'first experience'.

Cameron moved the chocolates off the bed and lay down on one side. She motioned for Holly to lie next to her.

John was a little surprised. He was not sure what Cameron was up to.

John watched as Cameron and Holly turned their heads and looked each other. Holly nodded at Cameron and both of them turned their heads straight. Holly's eyes closed. She lay motionless.

"Get over here and knock off a quickie." Cameron said. "You will have me in that chassis soon enough. I want my 'first experience' to last longer than twenty seconds."

John moved over to Cameron's chassis and started right in. He glanced over at Holly's inactive chassis right next to him and he pounded away on Cameron. He finished a few seconds later.

"That was less than a minute." Cameron said.

Forty three seconds of sexual activity did not do much for Cameron. There was no foreplay either. She knew even if John was 'ready' for Holly's chassis that he still needed some time between finishes. There would be plenty of foreplay when she was in Holly's chassis.

John could not really control it. He was very excited.

"I'm sorry." John said. "I couldn't help it."

"Get up." Cameron said.

John got up and stood next to the bed.

Cameron noted that the medicine worked at its fullest and he was still at 'full attention'. She scooted to the side of the bed and covered herself up with the sheet and pillows.

John watched Holly's eyes open. She looked at him and smiled. She sat up and stood in front of him.

"I love you, John, and you love me." Holly-Cameron said.

"I love you, Cameron, and you love me." John said.

Holly-Cameron looked down at John.

"I'm ready for our wedding night." Holly-Cameron said. "I can see you are too."

John just finished making love to Cameron in her own chassis less than thirty seconds ago.

Holly-Cameron moved forward and kissed John. He kissed her back. He knew it was 'Cameron' but this was very exciting for him.

They kissed and fondled each other for awhile.

John reached out and scooped Holly-Cameron up in his arms and laid her on the bed.

He moved over the top of her.

"Go slow." Holly-Cameron whispered. "I've never done this before. This is my first time."

John looked over at Cameron's covered over chassis. He'd literally made love to Cameron there less than a minute ago. She'd 'reset' herself for her 'first time' encounter.

He looked back at Holly-Cameron.

John would start at the top and work down on Holly-Cameron. He knew he was going to need a few minutes to recharge no matter what he did. He decided to do everything while he waited.

He could see Holly-Cameron eagerly awaited his touch.

"Make me a woman, John." Holly-Cameron whispered.

Life was good in Paradise.
