Chapter 1360

Morning Madness

Cameron lay in bed next to John. It gave her time to replay her files of her encounters with John in each of the different Metal girl's chassis. She'd been able to provide John with six virgin chassis with her program in control of each of them. She could not decide which one she liked the best. She thought they were all better than her chassis even if Ally and Cam were identical to her. She liked Hanna's hair, Sheila's face, Holly's breasts, Gail's secret spot and Cam's figure. She contemplated combining all those features on one of her spare female chassis that she possessed at her base.

The easiest and fastest way would be remove those features from the Metal girls now and use her chassis. She was sure they would understand. She would replace the sections removed with the ones from her chassis. It would create the 'perfect woman' for John. Those were the features he liked. She could tell as she scanned him while he made love to her in each of the different chassis. She paid attention to what he seemed to like on each one.

She pictured Sheila with her face, Hanna with her hair, Holly with her breasts and Gail with her secret spot. They could all Resequence over time to how they were before. She would need to disable that feature on her chassis to keep those new features. Maybe she should experiment on Ally first to see how it all came together. She could claim Ally's chassis at any point. If it didn't work out, Ally would need to wait for everything to Resequence back to Allison's DNA.

Cameron heard the door to her suite open. She was up in an instant. She realized she'd let her guard down while trying to create the 'perfect woman' for John in her mind. It was a 'daydream' even if it was still night, she didn't sleep.

Sheila pushed in the cart with the drinks on it and Ally was behind her with a selection of food items on a second cart. It was thirty minutes until sunrise. They pushed them to the balcony door of the main part of the suite. Cameron went to talk with them. Sheila poured a cup of hot coco for John.

Cameron thanked them.

"I can pour some espresso for John…." Sheila said.

Sheila gave Cameron a wink with that statement. Sheila was the one who provided the 'Captain's medicine' for John. The espresso would camouflage the taste of the crushed tablet.

Cameron wondered why they were early with the two carts.

"This is a little bit earlier than expected." Cameron said.

Sheila flashed a tether cable.

"There is enough time to knock off a quickie with either or both of our chassis." Sheila said.

Ally and Sheila both giggled.

Cameron thought that was a little forward of both of them.

Ally smiled at her.

"The early bird gets the 'worm'." Ally said.

Sheila and Ally went to high five each other. Cameron stopped them.

Cameron wanted to verify what John liked the best on Gail's chassis.

"You can send Gail-Cam in." Cameron said. "That's if she wants to come."

Ally thought that would take Gail-Cam away from Vanna

"What about Vanna?" Ally asked.

Cameron smiled.

"Holly will be busy but there are four of you in need of a human friend." Cameron said. "I think you can work something out or just let them be."

Cameron wanted Allison and Vanna to spend more time together.

Neither Sheila nor Ally looked very happy when they left. Sheila handed Cameron the tether as she went out the door.

Cameron took the hot coco to where John was. He was still asleep.

She heard someone enter. It was Gail-Cam she wore a modified maid's outfit. It was the super short one.

Cameron eyeballed her.

"Did I interrupt something?" Cameron asked.

Gail-Cam looked back once.

"I was going to serve Vanna a sunrise treat." Gail-Cam said.

Cameron watched as Gail-Cam stripped.

"You can go elsewhere." Cameron said.

Gail-Cam stood naked before her.

"I want you to make love to John while I am in this chassis like you did with my chassis." Gail-Cam said. "It was beautiful. I want to compare your feedback through this chassis when you send me the file. I believe this sheath and chassis has a superior neural network."

Cameron was pleased to hear that. She wanted to see the feedback herself with Cam's chip in Gail's chassis.

Cameron plugged the tether into both of their neck ports and they headed for the bed.

John was sound asleep. Something bumped him.

He opened his eyes and it was dark. He wondered when sunrise would be. He moved and felt Cameron next to him. He reached over and to touch her. His hand found something much bigger than what Cameron possessed. He moved his second hand over and it was still not enough.

"Gail?" John asked.

There was a slight giggle.

"No, John, it's me, Cameron." Gail-Cam-Cameron said. "Do you want to knock off a quickie before sunrise?"

That sounded good to John.

John looked over and saw the covered form of Cameron on his other side.

Gail-Cam-Cameron kissed him. He kissed her back and verified the tether was plugged in to her neck as he did.

John really liked three things on this chassis. Two of them were gigantic and one of them was very compact and petite.

Gail-Cam-Cameron wanted to see where John went first. It was as she'd suspected.

"Let me get you warmed up." John said as he slid down Gail-Cam-Cameron's sheath.

Gail-Cam-Cameron flipped the light on so John could get a good look. That increased his efforts even more.

It gave her something to think about. Apparently size did matter. It seemed in 'that department' there was an opposite in size appeal for males and females.

Sheila and Ally were disappointed.

"Cam gets the benefit now instead on one of us." Ally said.

Sheila did not mention it to Ally but Cameron would have picked her over Ally.

"We win some and we lose some." Sheila said. "At least we tried."

Ally figured they had each other but Sheila would want to be with Gail-Cam when Cameron was 'done' with her chassis. Maybe she would ask to share with her.

Ally looked around the private area. There were two food carts in front of the Master Suite but Holly was gone. She was there earlier. Hanna and Cam-Gail were over there by them.

"It looks like Holly already made her move." Ally said. "Allison is lucky."

Hanna and Cam Gail heard them talking.

"Holly went to check on Vanna since Gail-Cam is busy." Hanna said. "Allison is up for grabs."

Ally and Sheila looked at each other.

The both hurried over to join them when they took the drink and food carts in.

Hanna looked at the three of them.

"Good luck." Hanna said.

They all knew why she said that. Hanna looked like Allison's lover.

"I make my own luck." Sheila said.

Sheila quickly removed her maid's outfit and was naked. She made a point of adjusting her two sets of rings in front of the other girls.

Vanna awoke as someone touched her.

There was a light on in the main part of the suite. She could see it was Holly.

"Hi, Vanna." Holly whispered. "I just wanted to check how you were doing. I wanted to make sure there was no pressure build up."

Vanna glanced over at Allison who was still asleep.

"Allison took care of that earlier." Vanna said.

Holly smiled at her and got up to leave.

"Wait." Vanna said. "Allison wanted to see the sunrise with me. How much time do we have?"

Holly saw an opportunity here. She wanted to please Vanna.

"We have some time to kill." Holly said. "I can 'get you there' a couple of times before then, my treat, just lay back and enjoy it."

Vanna looked over at Allison again. She looked at Holly and pushed the covers down to reveal her naked figure. It was too good of an offer not to take advantage of.

"I will need to be quiet when you do." Vanna said.

Holly smiled and moved down so she could get started.

Vanna was never one to turn down a 'free ride'.

"There's one ticket to Paradise 'coming up'." Holly said.

Vanna sucked in her breath a little as Holly started. She knew she was going to 'make it' in no time.

Life was good in Paradise.

Allison was sound asleep.

A voice called to her ever so softly.

Her eyes slowly opened. It was dark in the room.

"Good morning." Holly whispered. "I just came in to check to see if you wanted to see the sunrise or not. It's in twelve minutes."

Allison was tired. She'd gotten to bed late. Vanna arrived even later.

"I don't know." Allison said. "Is Vanna awake?"

Holly looked over in the darkness. She could see Vanna was in REM sleep.

"No." Holly said. "She is asleep."

Allison wondered if she was dreaming about her.

"I don't know." Allison said.

Holly thought she should point out the obvious.

"It's up to you." Holly said. "This opportunity does not come often. How many times will you be on a ship in the middle of the ocean at sunrise?"

Allison figured she was awake now so maybe she should just get up. She could always go back to bed later.

"OK." Allison said. "I need to use the restroom anyway."

Allison went to get up and bumped into Vanna.

Vanna opened her eyes.

It was dark.

What happened?

She was almost 'there'.

"I'm sorry." Allison said.

Vanna reached down to touch herself. She was still covered.

'Was that a dream?' She wondered.

"It will be sunrise in ten minutes." Holly said.

Holly was here!

"Holly?" Vanna asked.

Allison got up and headed for the bathroom.

"There is juice, coffee and hot coco." Holly said. "They are bringing it in now. There are some breakfast snacks too."

Allison turned on the light in the main part of the suite.

Vanna heard the door open as saw Hanna and Cam-Gail push one cart in followed by Ally and Sheila with a second card.

Vanna was sure she was still dreaming. Sheila was naked.

She looked again and they were gone.

She rolled over on her side.

"Did you want to get up?" Holly asked.

Vanna sat upright in bed.

"You're real." Vanna said.

Holly was not sure of the proper response.

"I'm a cyborg if that is real." Holly said.

Vanna was awake now.

"How much time do I have?"

They could hear the toilet flush in the bathroom and then the water run in the sink.

"Nine minutes." Holly said.

Vanna got up.

"I'll make a quick pit stop and meet you on the balcony." Vanna said.

Vanna headed for the bathroom. She looked back once at Holly. Holly winked at her right before she went around the corner. Now Vanna wondered what really happened.

John started in on Gail-Cam-Cameron. It really excited him when she turned the light on. He could tell he'd made good progress. He knew he was on a timetable. He wanted to get a little benefit too. He moved up quickly into her arms and felt her legs come around his lower back as Gail-Cam-Cameron guided him in with her hand. He got 'started'. He was on a mission against time now.

"Don't stop." Gail-Cam-Cameron whispered.

John almost felt her giant breasts were a distraction at this point. He would pick a different position next time or let her ride it out. That would be good too.

He could feel her getting close. That brought him closer.

They were able to finish together.

John tried to roll off but she still held him with her arms and legs.

"How long is it until sunrise?" John whispered.

She immediately released him.

"Two minutes." Gail-Cam-Cameron said.

"That was great." John said as he gave her a kiss. "I hate to eat and run."

He knew it was 'Cameron' but she still looked like 'Gail' since she was in that chassis. He knew Cam's chip was currently in that chassis too. This whole thing was a mind trip.

John got up and headed for the balcony.

Cameron joined him a few seconds later.

She carried a robe for each of them.

He saw Gail-Cam in the background. He looked over at Cameron.

"She can join us if you want." John said.

Cameron looked over at her.

"Thank you." Gail-Cam called out as she left.

"I think she wants to share the sunrise with Vanna." Cameron said. "Remember, it's really Cam."

John remembered.

Cameron knew that her experience was more vivid with Gail's chip in her own chassis or in Cam's chassis. Her experience with Cam's chip in either chassis was not as good but it was still fantastic. The feedback with Gail's chip in both chassis was better somehow. Maybe it was because Holly and Gail were created as Restorators as opposed to Terminators. They were both from a different future. It really made her wonder if Mrs. Weaver did something to make them superior.

She poured John another hot coco since the other one was sitting by the bed and was probably cold by now. She tried a sip to make sure the temperature was right and gave it too John.

"Thanks." John said as he took a sip.

He looked out at the horizon and could see the sun was just about to make its appearance.

He gave Cameron a quick kiss.

"This is the best trip ever, Cameron." John said.

Cameron was pleased to hear that. It was for her too.

"It is the best Honeymoon ever." Cameron said.

She took his hand as they stood at the railing.

The sun sent its first rays out as it began to rise.

The suns rays lit their faces as their love for each other lit their hearts.

Allison passed Vanna as she exited the bathroom.

"Where are my clothes?" Allison asked.

Holly handed her a robe. She slipped it on.

"I feel like a suburban housewife on TV." Allison said.

Savannah moved out into the main part of the suite. She spotted the Metal Girls getting everything ready on the drink and food carts. She wondered why Sheila was naked but didn't ask. She was known for wild behavior. Asking might only make her show off more.

"The gang's all here." Allison said.

Hanna went over what the options were for food and beverages.

Allison took a hot coco.

She saw Holly and Vanna headed her way. Vanna was tying her robe as she walked and Holly carried an extra one. She handed it to Sheila.

Sheila looked at Allison and Vanna with the robe in her hand.

"When your ready for dessert, you know where to 'come'." Sheila said.

"We always do." Vanna said.

Vanna looked at Allison's cup. She looked a little concerned.

"That's not coffee is it?" Vanna asked.

Allison made an over exaggerated frown.

"Great, my other mother is here." Allison said.

She smiled at Vanna and offered her a sip.

Vanna tried it.

"I'll have one of those." Vanna said. "That's good."

Holly opened the balcony door. There was a blast of cold fresh salt air. She thought the girls might want to go out.

"It's cool out." Allison said.

Vanna could feel her warm body react to the cool air.

"I think Holly just ordered us a set of hard nipples." Vanna said.

They heard some noise in back of them.

Gail-Cam entered the room. She carried her clothes.

She hurried to be with Vanna.

"You need this more than I do, love." Sheila said.

She slipped the robe off and handed it to her.

"Thanks." Gail-Cam said.

Sheila was aware where Gail-Cam just came from.

"I'll see you when you are done here." Sheila said. "That's not Vanna's cup of tea."

Gail-Cam nodded. She knew some of the things Vanna was forced to do before.

"I understand, point taken." Gail-Cam said.

Allison set down her cup and took Vanna's hand on one side and Holly's hand on the other. Vanna set down her cup and took Gail-Cam's hand.

That is how they stood and watched the sunrise.

The other Metal girls left through the spare bedroom and entered the Control Center.

Jim was pleased to see them and especially pleased to see that Sheila was naked.

They decided to watch the sunrise from there to give the other couples some private time. They exited onto the balcony. Sheila was still naked. She hoped to give someone a thrill if they were up early and out on their balcony.

John watched the sun rise and noticed the other two groups out on the balcony.

Cameron looked over at them. She looked at what John looked at. It was Sheila standing there naked. She really liked Sheila's sheath. She would do a chip swap with her at some point for a few days. She wanted to make sure John would be ready for anything or anyone.

She went back to the drink cart and got an espresso for John. She added some 'help' to it. She knew he was going to need it. It was a day at sea and Cameron decided she was going to make the rounds with ALL of the Metal girl's chassis. She wondered if John would be up to it to cycle through all of them. With her chassis it would be seven of them. She'd really like Vanna and Allison to give it a crack too.

"It was cool out there." John said. "I'm a little chilled."

Cameron knew a way to warm him up fast.

"We can use the Jacuzzi tub and warm up." Cameron said.

John looked at Cameron.

"I want to be with you today." John said.

Cameron smiled.

"I will go get Sheila." Cameron said.

Cameron turned to go.

John looked at Cameron with real seriousness.

"I want to be with you as you, Cameron." John said. "Just the way you are now."

Cameron was a little surprised.

"You do?" Cameron asked.

John gave Cameron a kiss.

"You're my favorite." John said. "I can honestly say that now."

Cameron felt elated to hear that. John had his choice and he chose her. She handed him the espresso. He was really going to need it now. She planned to work him hard.

"Drink this." Cameron said. "It will get you going and keep you going."

John took a sip.

"This stuff still tastes like battery acid." John said.

Cameron hoped he hadn't actually tried any battery acid, it could be fatal.

John drank the espresso and Cameron handed him a fresh cup of hot coco.

"This is more like it." John said.

Cameron led John to their Jacuzzi tub since the medicine needed some time to work.

"The warm water will help with blood flow." Cameron said. "You should be like the 'man of steel' in no time. You're my Superman."

John tried to remember the intro from the old TV series.

"That's me." John said. "Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound!"

Cameron thought that all sounded dangerous.

Allison and Vanna decided to go back to bed. They were both tired.

"I need my beauty sleep." Allison said.

Vanna touched Allison's cheek and brushed some of her hair away from her face.

"You're always beautiful." Vanna said.

Allison knew Vanna always told her that. It never mattered how dirty or grimy she was or how much sleep she missed in the future. Vanna always told her she was beautiful. She knew love 'blinded' Vanna to her true condition at those times. Then again she always felt the same way about Vanna. Their beauty to each other was more than skin deep.

"Just give us an hour of two more of sleep." Allison said. "That's all we are going to do too is sleep."

Holly and Gail-Cam left. They went to the Control Center.

Vanna and Allison gave each other a 'coco kiss' and went back to sleep. They both planned to dream of the other's beauty.

Sheila spotted Gail-Cam.

"I've been waiting for you." Sheila said.

She took Gail-Cam by the arm and led her away.

"We will be in the Honeymoon suite if anyone needs us." Sheila said. "There are plenty of beds in there too."

Jim looked at Holly, Hanna, Ally and Cam-Gail.

"It is too early to service the rooms." Jim said. "You may as well take it easy for a few hours."

Ally took Hanna's arm and left.

Holly looked at Cam-Gail.

"This works for me." Holly said as she took Cam-Gail's arm.

They left too.

Jim hoped Cameron stayed busy with John and the Metal girls. He did not want Cameron to have too much free time and come looking for him. He knew Bob was lying low too. He hoped Bob could use for him for some special assignment somewhere in the lower decks. With a day at sea, it seemed like a good idea to be as far away from the Owner's Suite as possible.

Young Allison opened her eyes. It was very dark. There was only some faint light coming from the bathroom.

Savannah was asleep next to her.

She looked to see if Cammy or Anna might be there but she did not spot them.

Normally she would be up at this time of the day but they got to bed really late.

She took a moment to reflect on what happened yesterday. She wondered if it would 'hit' her today. It didn't. She didn't feel any different than before. She'd killed the enemy before, just never face to face. It was no different for her. Cameron trained her and conditioned her to be able to fight and kill when necessary. It did worry her some to need to face real bullets but she met the challenge. No one really shot at her specifically so that was a plus. The big guy who tried to grab her caused her some concern. If she would have been able to breathe she thought she could have handled him better and sooner.

The one thing that bothered her was the female prisoner. She did nothing to help her. She knew what happened to Vanna and Jesse. They were treated like that at times. What happened to her as 'Allison' was bad enough. It was just not like that. It did bother her if she would have been the one that needed to kill her if Savannah hadn't done it. She was sure Savannah did kill her even if she said the prisoner died on her own.

She decided to get up. She carefully moved around Savannah and pulled the covers up on her.

She saw her Model 66 and six fresh cartridges sitting on the dresser along with her clothes. They were washed and neatly folded. She thought Cammy or Anna did that, it was nice of them.

Young Allison loaded the six cartridges into her Model 66 and set it back under her clothes for now. She was pretty sure it saved her life.

She went to the bathroom to get cleaned up. She replayed all the events that happened to see what she could have done better or differently.

Savannah was awake when Young Allison awoke. She wanted to see how Young Allison acted or reacted to anything this morning. She expected her to have some more reaction to what she was involved with and did last night. The thing that seemed to worry Young Allison the most was if her mother found out what she'd done. That was almost funny. If so many people hadn't died it would be funny.

She could picture the conversation now:

'It's late, where have you been at, Missy?' Claire asked.

'I was out. I killed over a dozen people.' Young Allison said. 'What's for dinner?'

Savannah tried to refocus. That almost seemed too real right now.

She watched Young Allison check her clothes and load her Model 66. She concealed it under her clothes after she did. She'd watched her use it on the operation. It was an additional weapon that she carried. It made a difference based on how she needed to act yesterday especially under the constraints of not being able to breathe. That alone was incredible. She could not have done that herself. She also knew it was when she saved the small child from drowning in the ocean that Young Allison began to work on her water skills. It looks like they paid off in a different way.

Once Young Allison went in the bathroom she got up and made the bed. She looked at the clothes Cammy brought in an hour ago. She was awake for that. She was very attuned to what happened in her room.

She laid out her clothes for the day. She thought about taking another shower but she'd just had one a few hours ago. She was a little tired and a little sore. Maybe that was from all the things she'd done yesterday.

She knew she would need to check in with John Henry and see what follow up action would be needed. They should have been able to go through the hard drives that Steve and Tom picked up from the other building by now.

One thing for sure was that Young Allison was not going with her.

Maybe Young Allison was beyond any control at this point.

Maybe they all were.
