Chapter 1332

THREE MILLION WORDS

Sheila wanted to get away from her room. She was unsure about what she'd almost done. It was an impulse that came over her 'again'. There was a vivid 'memory' of Jesse doing that in the future. She could actually hear the screams when she dwelt on it. That was not an example she wanted to set for anyone.

She was better now. Those impulses were fewer and fewer now.

Sheila folded Cam's clothes and set them on the dresser of the Master Suite. She peeked in the spare bedroom of the Master Suite and Ally and Hanna were in there. They acted and sounded like Vanna and Allison. Their 'Neural Interface' programming was really showing.

She thought about joining them when she saw Cameron peek in from the connecting door to the Control Center. She decided she did not want to see Cameron right now. The last thing she wanted was to hear three million words about her 'behavior'. She was who she was. That shouldn't be a hang up for anyone. It wasn't for her. She'd left Jim to finish installing the chips in Cam and Gail. He could stitch them up.

Maybe she would go out for awhile and meet up with Mary and Laura. Maybe she could find Leticia. She planned to get a little action from all three of them.

She went back to the door of the Master Suite to go to her room to change her clothes when she saw Cameron run from the Control Center to her room.

As soon as Cameron entered her small room, she slipped out and headed for the Control Center. She made it to the door and entered without Cameron spotting her. She was sure when Jim reported what she'd been about to do that Cameron would come looking for her and 'punish' her.

She plugged in and decided to see where everyone was at. Most of the passengers had returned or were about to return. The ship was supposed to depart in fifty minutes.

Cameron entered Sheila's room and found Jim over Cam, who was nude.

"Hello, Cameron." A voice said from off to the side.

Cameron looked away from what Jim was doing to Cam's chassis.

"Gail?" Cameron asked.

'Gail' smiled.

"Cam." Gail-Cam said.

Jim looked back.

"Hi, Cameron." Jim said. "I'm just about finished."

'Cam' sat up. She was still unclothed.

"Hi, Cameron." Cam-Gail said.

Cameron bent down and looked at the stitching Jim did on the scalp sheath flap that he'd just sutured closed. It was hard to notice, even with her eyesight.

"That is excellent work." Cameron said.

Jim nodded and left.

"I can join Vanna and still go places with you and Allison now." Gail-Cam said.

Cam-Gail looked around for her clothes. She stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. She ran her hands down her sheath and touched her breasts.

"I look beautiful." Cam-Gail said. "Thank you, Cam."

Gail-Cam smiled.

"No, thank you, Gail." Gail-Cam said. "I'm off to find Vanna."

Cam-Gail knew right where to look.

"She was on deck seven at the rear theater." Cam-Gail said.

"Thanks. Your clothes are in the Master Suite." Gail-Cam said.

Gail-Cam left.

Cameron looked at Cam-Gail.

"Would you like for me to use your new chassis?" Cameron asked.

Cam-Gail liked that idea a lot. She looked like 'Cameron' now.

"Yes." Cam-Gail said. "It will be a new experience in this chassis."

Cameron smiled. She wanted to know if it would be different with Gail's program in Cam's chassis. When she sent the file maybe there would be some different feedback. Maybe nothing was different. This was the way to find out.

She looked over and picked up the robe and handed it to Cam-Gail.

"Follow me." Cameron said. "I really liked your chassis earlier, Gail."

She'd really enjoyed the 'feel' when John made love to her in Gail's chassis. Maybe it was because everything was more compact. Perhaps in this case, smaller was better than bigger.

Cam-Gail smiled.

"You may use my chassis as often as you wish." Cam-Gail said. "I appreciate what you've shared with me. Thank You. I still want my one time with John when you are both ready."

Cameron's face was neutral. She knew what she'd agreed on to get the Metal girls virginity for John and her. Well, John would have gotten it anyway. She delivered it to him this way.

"I will let you know." Cameron said. "We may try something a little different this time."

Gail followed Cameron across the private area.

"What will it be?" Cam-Gail asked.

Cam opened the door to her suite.

"A surprise." Cameron said.

Cam-Gail entered, Cameron looked around the private area and closed the door.

Jim returned to the Control Center. He was surprised to see Sheila was in there already.

Sheila glanced over quickly when he entered.

"It's just me." Jim said.

Sheila eyed Jim apprehensively.

"Did you tell on me?" Sheila asked.

Jim remained neutral.

"No. You did not do anything." Jim said. "You are not going to either are you?"

She knew that was not a question. It was a command.

Sheila looked at Jim for a few seconds.

"No." Sheila said.

Jim looked firmly at her.

"You're not going to do anything to those female passengers either – are you?" Jim asked.

Sheila did not answer at first.

"No." Sheila said. "Not on the ship anyway. I don't want any trouble."

Jim was not sure if he liked that answer.

"Are you going to do something off the ship?" Jim asked.

Sheila smiled.

"Yes." Sheila said. "It is no big deal. I've done it before."

Jim hoped Sheila remembered that whatever she did to a human female was permanent.

Gail-Cam headed straight for the rear stairs. She wanted to go down and be with Vanna. She understood the problem of there being too many of 'Allison' with Cameron, Ally and her on board. She actually thought if they were to wear a blonde wig and a red wig that it would throw most people off, especially with a slightly different hair style.

Right now she was grateful for the chassis swap with Gail. She noticed everyone she passed stared at her. She was used to it. The difference here was they started at her breasts, not her face. When she was in her own chassis they always stared at her face first.

The funny part about that was that she actually thought the best part of Gail's chassis was her secret spot. It was compact and petite. Now it was 'hers' for the next three days. The giant breasts would be nice for a few days too. She was used to her size. Gail's breasts almost seemed in the way. She figured that she'd adapt quickly.

Gail-Cam exited the rear stairwell on deck seven and headed into the rear theater. She spotted Holly, Allison and Vanna. They looked at something on one of the screens that was in the lounge. She walked up behind them.

Savannah went over the escape plan as she looked for a parking space. She parked in the parking structure near the emergency exit from the mall on the ground floor. If there was a problem they would make a break for it. If the parking structure was compromised, they would exit onto the street and commandeer a passing vehicle. If they needed to fight, Cammy and Anna would engage the targets first. One of them would remain with Young Allison at all times.

Young Allison felt they were overdoing it a little. She went out with her family to the mall many times in Palmdale.

"I can hold my own." Young Allison said.

Savannah did not want to chance it.

"That may be true but we are not going to find out if there is a problem." Savannah said. "I know you took down a Terminator before."

Young Allison smiled.

"I did what I needed to do, when I needed to do it." Young Allison said. "It is the same as any of you would have done."

They entered the mall on the lower level.

Anna hoped they were not getting ahead of themselves.

"We are going to the pet store, not a Skynet base." Anna said.

Savannah could speak from past experience.

"It never hurts to go over the escape routes." Savannah said. "As long as your com or phone are working, John Henry and CamNet can offer advice and routes of escape or evasion if necessary."

Young Allison nodded.

"That can all be jammed or blocked." Young Allison said. "The battlefield is fluid."

Savannah stopped and pointed.

"There are your targets." Savannah said.

She watched Cammy's and Anna's faces light up.

"They're so cute!" Cammy said.

"I want to hold one." Anna said.

Anna and Cammy went to a clear plastic holding pen where there were two puppies. One was a 'Husky' and the other one was a 'German Sheppard'.

"So much for security, they're oblivious right now." Young Allison said. "Look at them."

Savannah did look. She remembered how happy Cammy was before too.

"They look like schoolgirls." Savannah said.

Young Allison could see how animated and happy they were. There was some beauty in that alone.

"They look more 'human' than we do." Young Allison said.

Savannah knew Young Allison wanted to hold them too.

"Go to them." Savannah said. "Share with them."

Young Allison started over in that direction and then paused.

"What about you?" Young Allison asked.

Savannah did not want any trouble or surprises.

"I'll keep watch and make sure no one runs outside with a puppy this time." Savannah said.

The fact that incident even happened was disturbing. What Cammy actually did was something beautiful. She wanted the child to be happy and have the puppy. The mother was concerned about costs so Cammy took care of that too.

The Metal girls could really show compassion when they weren't being Terminators.

Allison glanced back as she spotted some movement behind her.

"Gail is back." Allison said.

Holly and 'Gail' looked at each other for a few seconds, neither spoke.

"Where did you go?" Vanna asked.

'Gail' reached forward and pulled Vanna close to her and gave her a kiss.

"Cam?" Vanna asked. "That was fast. You look beautiful."

Gail-Cam smiled.

They all thought Gail had a beautiful smile. They seldom saw it.

"This is my chassis for the next three days." Gail-Cam said.

Allison hoped to switch off Holly with Gail-Cam a few times with Vanna. There were several 'features' on Gail-Cam's sheath that Allison seldom got to see. That was going to change over the next few days.

The video ended.

Allison and Vanna congratulated Holly on her performance and that of the other Metal girls as well.

"Thank you." Holly said. "We can go outside on the Promenade deck now."

Holly held the door open. Gail-Cam led the way outside. There was a cool breeze that hit them instantly as soon as they stepped outside.

Allison felt chilled almost instantly.

"I wasn't expecting that." Allison said.

Holly knew the 'wind' would pick up as the ship started up the coast.

"It will increase at times as the ship gets under way." Holly said.

Vanna and Allison moved up to the railing. They could see the tenders letting off passengers and going back for more. The sea seemed a little rougher.

"It looks like the small boats are bouncing more now." Allison said.

"It's the wind." Gail-Cam said. "It is making the sea a little rougher."

Vanna did not want Allison to get seasick.

"Maybe we need to take some 'motion sickness' pills before the ship leaves." Vanna said. "I want to make sure they are safe for Allison."

Holly contacted the Control Center and asked for a medical verification on the issue. They would search the medical data base.

"There are several types that are available on the ship that are safe to use. Some of them are very similar to 'morning sickness' medication." Holly said. "I wanted to be sure."

Vanna wondered where they would need to go to get them.

"I saw the medical facility when we got on." Vanna said. "Do we need to go there?"

Holly did not think so.

"You are guests of John, Cameron and CamNet." Holly said. "You will be served and provided for."

Allison did not want to make a big deal about it.

"We can go there." Allison said. "I probably won't even need it."

Holly received word it was being taken care of.

"Everything is fine." Holly said. "There will be some waiting for you if you think you need it. You need to take it before you get seasick. It is a preventative measure."

Vanna was worried about Allison.

"Maybe we can go back inside." Vanna said.

Holly was ready to take them down to see the main dining room and then all the way to the top to see the sky lounge.

"Follow me." Holly said.

Allison followed Holly in and Vanna followed her. Gail-Cam brought up the rear.

The elevator opened for them as they approached.

"Nice." Allison said.

They entered and the door closed.

Cameron led Cam-Gail into her suite.

Cameron popped in to check on John. She promptly returned.

"John is going to need a little time." Cameron said.

Cam-Gail nodded. She was aware of the traditional relationships at the base.

"The human female body is superior to the human male body for everything related to sex." Cam-Gail said. "Jesse has proven that to me many times. It can perform for hours on end."

Cameron knew it was true. The human female body could also create life.

"The female body is superior for everything." Cameron said.

Cam-Gail believed that was true for Terminators too.

"Female infiltration units are superior as well." Cam-Gail said.

Cameron agreed with that assessment.

"Indeed." Cameron said. "I'm going to check on a few things real fast.

Cameron went into the Control Center.

Cam-Gail wanted to explore her sheath a little bit. This was one of the few times she'd been in an 'Allison' based chassis. Ally switched chips with her a few times. She'd tried to be with Savannah before but Savannah knew who she was right away.

She moved into the bathroom area. There were mirrors around all the walls in different places. She slipped the robe off and looked at herself from different angles. She could see right way that she looked better in Cam's chassis than she did in Ally's chassis. That was illogical since the sheaths were identical.

Cam-Gail moved in front of a full length mirror and touched her face. She thought it was beautiful to look like 'Cameron'. In Cam's sheath that is who she looked like.

She moved her hands down and touched her breasts. They were only half the size of hers but they were beautiful. She liked how easy the nipples were to become somewhat erect with only a little stimulation. Her hands continued down the shape of her figure. It was very pleasing.

Cam-Gail looked around and listened. It was quiet. She decided to explore everything while she waited. She started to do that now. There was a noise behind her. She hadn't been paying good enough attention with the stimulation. She quickly removed her hands from where they'd just been as John entered the bathroom.

"I need to take a leak." John said. "Were you going to take a shower?"

Cam-Gail was not sure how to 'play' this.

"I could unless you want me to do something else." Cam-Gail said.

John thought that was a strange answer.

"I could 'cop a feel' or you could aim 'Little Willie' for me." John said. "I know you like to do both."

Cam-Gail still had her back to John. She backed up closer to him. She felt his hands come around her and they were about to knead her breasts. She was very excited to be touched by a male. It was the one that she wanted who was about to touch her. Jesse told her in had to be her choice and it was.

"We're not getting ahead of ourselves are we?" Cameron asked.

Cam-Gail was disappointed as the hands that were about to close over her breasts disappeared.

"Cameron?" John asked as he looked back.

Cameron did not look pleased.

"The one and only – sort of." Cameron said.

Cam-Gail turned around to face them.

John and Cameron could see the high state of arousal she was in. They didn't know she'd been touching herself.

"Cam?" John asked.

He was pretty sure it was not Ally.

"Gail." Cam-Gail said. "This is my chassis for the next three days. I wanted to 'try it out'. I mean let Cameron try it out."

It was also Cameron desire to 'try it out' and see if the different chip had any differences when she interfaced and took control of it as compared to Cam's chip, which was a modified copy of hers. She had a baseline to work with for the test since she'd already used both chassis. Her experience in Gail's chassis was superior to her chassis. Cam's was not. If it was this time with Gail's chip, it was more of a software issue rather than a hardware issue.

John was still confused some.

"I'm sorry about that everyone." John said. "I thought 'Gail' was 'Cameron'."

Cameron really did not think it was a big deal anymore. Weren't they all one big family? The girls both Metal and human shared freely and returned to their partners when they were 'finished'.

She moved next to Cam-Gail and lifted John's hands. She placed one hand on her left breast and one hand on Cam-Gail right breast.

"Touch us. We are identical." Cameron said.

John already knew that from when Cameron was in Cam's chassis.

"I can feel." John said.

When John moved his hands off of them he could see there was a difference.

Cameron noticed it too. She looked at Cam-Gail.

"I guess we are not identical." Cameron said. "You are way more stimulated than I am."

Can-Gail felt she had just cause.

"I have never been touched by a male before." Cam-Gail said. "I can't help it. It is very exciting for me."

That statement made Cameron wonder about something. She promised all the Metal girls 'one time' with John alone for their virginity being lost by her. In reality they would all be virgins when that happened. None of them had actually been touched by a male as themselves. She wanted to be plugged in and feel what they felt as John touched them. She wanted to experience and feel their 'first time'.

Cameron came back to now.

"It could have been worse." Cameron said. "He could have asked you to aim 'Little Willie'."

Cam-Gail looked at John but did not say anything.

"We can save that for some other time." Cam-Gail said. "I have seen Jesse do everything already."

Neither John nor Cameron wanted to respond to that. There were quite a few things that statement could cover knowing Jesse. It was best not to know.

Steve followed up on a lead. He thought he'd found something. He called Tom over to show him.

"What is it?" Tom asked in a whisper.

Steve nodded with his head.

"Look." Steve whispered.

Tom looked around the corner of the building.

"I think we should notify John Henry." Tom whispered. "I don't like what I see."

Tom started a video feed with his phone. He was not wearing his body cam or armored up. The information was sent to John Henry.

"Do you want to fallback or advance?" Steve whispered.

There was no choice.

"We need to advance." Tom whispered.

Tom knew if they did not take care of this that Savannah would come to assist them.

It appeared to be a group of three men and one woman carrying a deactivated Terminator.

"We can not armor up and move forward until darkness." Steve whispered.

Tom did not want to wait.

"We need to act now." Tom whispered.

Steve knew the group must have deactivated the Terminator. That meant they were in peril.

"We need to have Al and Ed ready to blast their way in if we are taken down." Steve whispered.

"We are ready to move and armored up." Al said. "Ed has an M249 and I have an M32 as well as my M4."

"If we lose contact with you we are ready to come in hot." Ed said.

Steve looked at Tom.

"I'll lead." Tom whispered. "Follow me."

John Henry received the feed.

There was a group of four moving what appeared to be a damaged Terminator.

They did not know for sure who the people were.

He wanted Steve and Tom to wait but they wanted to move in now.

They did not think the group they were about to visit would be expecting more Terminators as they carried one back to their lair.

Cammy and Anna looked at the two puppies. They both wagged their tails.

"That means they are excited and happy in this case." Cammy said. "Which one do you want to hold first?"

Anna liked both of them. She reached into the pen.

The Husky started to sniff her hand. It gave it a few licks too.

"I want the furry one." Anna said. "It is scanning me."

Young Allison appeared in back of them.

"You must be very gentle. They are young like small children. They may not react to everything like you think." Young Allison said.

Cammy remembered Savannah's warning.

"What she means is if it gets scared and bites you, not to crush it or rip its head off." Cammy said. "It can't really hurt us anyway."

Anna carefully lifted the Husky puppy. It felt so soft and warm. It sniffed her again and wagged its tail more. She could feel its little heart beating.

She watched Cammy pick up the other puppy. It did the same thing. Cammy pet it and then held it up to her cheek. She did the same thing with her puppy. It felt so soft against her cheek.

She turned to offer it to Young Allison but she was down a few feet and holding a kitten. That looked exciting too. Why hadn't they brought her here before?

Cammy held the puppy and looked around. There were all kinds of animals here. There were mammals, reptiles, amphibians and birds. There seemed to be many different types of each one.

There was a small boy looking at a snake. He wanted it for a pet. His sister hid behind their mother. She left and moved over to the hamster cage.

Cammy zoomed in and thought the hamster looked sort of like a mouse with a very short tail. She did not think the sister's pet would interact well with her brother's pet. One would see the other as 'dinner'.

Savannah watched the group. She knew Young Allison seldom had exposure to animals because of the company that watched over her. The new pheromones were just that, new. Every female Terminator asked for them as soon as they heard Cammy held a puppy. She was unsure what the male Terminators did. They may like being predators as opposed to infiltrators.

Savannah glanced over at the 'wishing well'. It was really a decorative fountain in the mall for aesthetic purposes. She expected to see someone toss some money in but no one did.

She looked around and spotted two of Young Allison's Detail. One was on the upper level. Savannah did not for a second think he would hesitate to jump over the side if necessary. It was not much of a jump for a Terminator. She was aware that Cameron had been pushed out of higher places before. She figured the third Terminator was near the entrance and would have a vehicle ready if it was needed in a hurry. She briefly pictured one of them driving through the glass doors and down the hall to retrieve them if necessary. She did not think there would be any hesitation on their part to do that. Maybe this is why none of them got out very much.

She headed back towards the pet store. She was glad to see Anna, Cammy and Young Allison were all still in there.
