Chapter 1362

Nude Sunbathing

John and Cameron left the private area and walked ahead of Allison and Vanna on the way to the main dining room for a nice 'fine dining' multi-course breakfast.

Cameron checked with Jim and he told her no males were currently in the nude sunbathing area. She relayed that message to Vanna.

"Should we go by and see if the Metal girls really are in the nude sunbathing area?" Vanna asked.

Cameron looked over at John.

"You and John can give it a once over if you want." Cameron said. "Ally and Cam-Gail are probably both there. I don't think Allison and I should go there."

Vanna looked at Cameron and then at John.

"Come on, John, I want to see." Vanna said. "Let's go."

John was not so sure about this.

"Maybe we should wait until after breakfast." John said.

They neared the central elevators.

There was the sound of pounding footsteps in the stairwell across from the elevators.

It sounded like two people running.

"I'm faster than you."

"You are not. I'm faster."

Sheila and Ally appeared a second later. They almost bumped into the quartet on their way to the main dining room.

"Slow down." Cameron said.

Ally and Sheila were clad in very skimpy bikinis.

"What's the rush?" Vanna asked.

Jim contacted Sheila that the 'guests' left the suites. That meant she could go back and do her 'job'. Ally decided to help her.

"We were on our way to make the rooms up." Sheila said. "It is my job."

Allison liked they way they looked.

"Are you going to make up the rooms dressed like that?" Allison asked. "I want to go back and watch."

Sheila looked at Ally.

"I'll let you watch right now." Sheila said.

Sheila reached over and pulled the tie on the back of Ally top and it fell off.

"Hey!" Ally said.

"Ally is going to be topless when she works." Sheila said.

Ally reached down to pick up her top and pulled Sheila's bottoms off instead.

"It looks like I will work bottomless." Sheila said.

Ally liked what she saw and that idea.

"Now you're talking." Ally said.

John quickly looked around. They were in the middle of the ship. There weren't any other passengers close by.

Cameron saw John's apprehension. She gently moved Ally and Sheila back into the stairwell.

Vanna and Allison retrieved their fallen apparel.

"Take it easy." Cameron said. "Wait until you get back to the private area. There are other passengers around."

Ally took her top from Allison.

Vanna handed the bottoms to Sheila.

Just at that moment the elevator dinged and the door opened.

The older couple that previously paid a lot of attention to Cameron saw her standing there with Allison, Ally and Sheila.

Just as soon as the door opened, it closed again before anyone could get off.

John wondered how it could get any worse.

"Beautiful." John said. "That was that older couple who paid too much attention to Cameron. Now they just saw 'three' of her."

"Actually it was three of me." Allison said.

Sheila and Ally got their bikinis in order.

"Were you at the nude sunbathing area?" Vanna asked.

"Yes." Ally said. "There is no one there beside the rest of the Metal girls."

"I saw a couple of old men look in the gate." Sheila said.

Vanna could picture how Sheila would greet them.

"I'm sure you gave them the 'full spread'." Vanna said.

Sheila wanted to see if she could cause heart failure. It didn't happen, at least not yet.

"I did." Sheila said. "That's the thing my rings are best at. That's besides looking Hot."

If it was just the Metal girls up there Allison was interested.

"Are you going back up there?" Allison asked.

Ally was ready to go back now.

"As soon as we get the rooms made up we are." Ally said.

Sheila hoped for some nice looking young females to join them.

"Maybe there will be some Hot chicks that show up." Sheila said.

Vanna pointed out a more likely scenario.

"Maybe it will be more old dudes." Vanna said.

Ally knew Cameron did not want more than two of 'Allison' at any one point. That was why she moved them back to the stairwell for now.

"I can come down if Cameron or you want to go up there." Ally said. "Cam-Gail will come down too if you both want to go up there."

Allison wanted to try it but she wanted to go with Vanna. She did not know how comfortable she would be with it.

"It's up to Vanna." Allison said. "I'm good either way."

Cameron tried to push them a little. She would like to have John naked with Vanna and Allison in that type of setting.

"If John will go, Vanna will go." Cameron said.

John was not so sure about this. He looked for a way out.

"We can think about it after breakfast." John said.

He hoped it would pass without further mention but doubted it.

Ally and Sheila left to go back to the suites. They both kept pulling the tie on the backs of each others bikini as they walked back.

Vanna and Allison watched them go.

"I see some things never change." Allison said.

Vanna was aware of what occurred.

"One thing changed." Vanna said. "None of them are virgins anymore."

Cameron was pleased with that.

"Nope, not anymore they aren't." Cameron said. "I can verify that."

Cameron smiled at John and took his hand.

"That's thanks to this stud." Cameron said.

John looked a little embarrassed at Vanna and Allison.

Allison looked at John.

"We may not have our cherries but we still have the box they came in." Allison said.

Allison and Vanna giggled.

"John may want to check that out." Cameron said. "I want this to be the best honeymoon ever for him."

It sounded to Vanna and Allison like it already was. Who gets six virgins on their honeymoon and all of them are their wife?

"I can truly say it has been." John said. "I really don't think anyone else has ever experienced anything quite like this."

Cameron gave John a kiss.

"You're the greatest." Cameron said.

"So are you." John said.

They continued on their way towards the rear elevators.

Vanna and Allison whispered among themselves as they followed John and Cameron. They were aware Cameron could hear what they whispered about.

Cameron looked back and winked.

Jim already started to work on the Owner's Suite to get it made up.

Ally and Sheila arrived topless in the private area. They saw that Jim was already at work.

"We can take care of this, Jim." Ally said. "That's why we came back."

Jim wanted to do his 'duty'. He was actually surprised that Sheila came back to do hers. Then again she always did what she was supposed to do on top of all the antics. She pushed things a lot but did her job.

"You can watch us work then." Sheila said.

Jim hoped they would remain topless. He found it pleasurable to observe.

"Are you going to work topless?" Jim asked.

Sheila looked at Jim.

"No." Sheila said.

Jim looked a little disappointed.

She slipped her bikini bottoms off.

"I'm going to work naked." Sheila said.

Jim decided he would stay and assist them.

"I will help." Jim said.

Ally looked at Jim and Sheila.

"In that case I'll work naked as well." Ally said.

Ally slipped her bottoms off too.

Jim thought this assignment was not so bad after all. He was very pleased whenever Sheila asked him to straighten her rings. He just hoped Cameron did not want to use his chassis later on.

Savannah and Young Allison walked hand in hand through the sand. They still wore their shoes so they needed to avoid the water a few times when it rushed up.

They'd turned around and were almost back to the restaurant. Cammy and Anna turned around when they did.

"Is there any nude sunbathing around here?" Young Allison asked.

Savannah was aware there was. Cameron informed her about several locations.

"Yes there is but you're not going so don't even think about it." Savannah said.

They saw the Detail was spread out around the area.

Cammy and Anna joined them.

"I see I still have all the comforts of home." Young Allison said.

Anna saw it as their duty.

"You are to be protected." Anna said.

Savannah was not so sure Young Allison needed to be protected after watching her in action. It was still hard to process it all even though she'd seen it all happen with her own eyes.

They arrived at the front of the restaurant.

"Let's go in." Savannah said.

Savannah looked at the parking lot and there were a few more cars in it now. They should still be able to get a window table.

They went in and were seated at the best window seat. The top of the window was open so they could hear the pounding of the waves as they crashed ashore.

Savannah and Young Allison sat across from each other so they both had a good view of the beach through the giant picture window.

Savannah thought this would be a nice breakfast. She watched as Young Allison looked at the menu. Young Allison still seemed unaffected by everything that happened. She was still not convinced Young Allison was as 'hard as nails' as she made out to be.

The waitress came and took their order. They enjoyed the view and shared some small talk as they waited for the food. So far the new day was a pretty nice one. It was sure better than what they'd faced the last few days.

Jesse took care of Precious first and then headed to the commissary with Claire.

They'd gotten off to a late start. It seemed everyone else was up and about already.

Summer checked in on them earlier. She said she was going to work with Jan on some music and then they were going to study.

Kyle and Sarah were just leaving the commissary when they arrived. Derek and Riley left earlier when Jesse was nursing Precious.

Jesse wanted Claire to teach her how to make and cook things from scratch. She wanted to improve herself. She hoped to learn to do more things before she saw her parents in Australia again. She was also going to ask her mother to carry a baby for her. She did not want to take a child away from Young Jesse. She'd watched Riley, Claire and Sarah and saw how special their children were to them. Once she'd started nursing Precious, her desire to become a mother increased greatly. She'd previously tried a half dozen times at Cameron's urging but nothing ever made it past two or three months. She gave up. Every failure was another 'dead baby' to her. She figured she'd experienced dozens of miscarried babies since she was first able to get pregnant. Her 'missed periods' were not missed at all. She'd most likely been pregnant based on what she experienced at the base with Cameron 'assisting her'. It was apparent that Skynet damaged her body at a very early age. It seemed Vanna suffered the same fate.

The more she was around Claire the more she wanted to better herself. Claire was unlike any of her other partners either male or female. There was a new motivation inside her. Maybe that was from nursing Precious or sharing with Claire. Maybe it was all in her head.

Claire was happy to be around Jesse. Jesse even encouraged her to share with the other females both human and Metal. It was the best of both worlds. Jesse was the 'bad girl' and she'd done a lot of 'bad' things. Here they were together at the end of the day. Jesse told her she really liked the emotional connection. It was something the Metal girls were not very good at. They were good at just about everything else. They could 'ring your bell' in no time. She was able to have it rung multiple times too. It seemed only Jesse and her could go for ten in a row and make it.

She would work with Jesse on cooking this morning and she would work with her on music or dance later on in the day. They would work in a few times to share throughout the day. They would usually have another partner or two thrown in somewhere along the way. She liked the bigger selection of females available at the base. Hanna was still on the ship and they were short on Metal girls. Jesse helped make up for that.

Claire showed Jesse an image of a cooked food item. That was to be their goal.

"This is what we are going to make and these are the ingredients we're going to use to make it with." Claire said.

Jesse looked a little apprehensive but she wanted to learn.

It was time to get to work.

John and the girls finished up breakfast in the main dining room. They headed out. They went up the stairs to deck seven.

"Where do we go now?" Allison asked.

Cameron went over some of the activities on ship with them.

"We can try some Zumba if you want an intense workout." Cameron said.

There were a few things that caught their attention. One of them had a strange name.

"What's Zumba?" Allison asked.

Cameron did not know what it was either at first. She been down earlier in the cruise to observe it.

"It is intense physical activity set to music." Cameron said. "It is like a non stop dance. It is very strenuous."

Vanna knew Cameron held an advantage to that level of activity. She wondered if Cameron 'showed off' at all. It would be her 'natural ability' after all.

"I bet you could work the instructor into the ground." Vanna said.

Cameron knew she possessed several 'natural' advantages.

"It would be an unfair competition." Cameron said. "I am superior for any physical competition to that of a human."

John was going to ask about swimming but didn't. He did not want to 'upset' Cameron.

A boy that passed by them looked back when Cameron said the last part about being superior to a human. He whispered something to his parents. They looked back at Cameron and Allison and they scolded him. They kept on going.

"There is also a galley tour." Cameron said. "You can see where they make everything you eat. There are several large kitchens on the ship."

Allison hoped they gave out samples during the tour.

"Do we get to eat anything as we go along?" Allison asked.

Vanna did not see how Allison could want more to eat right now.

"You just ate two Eggs Benedicts and four pieces of bacon." Vanna said.

Allison smiled and patted her belly.

"They were good too." Allison said. "My mom would make that for me sometimes."

That seemed like a lot of work to Vanna. She was happy with anything to eat.

"Eggs Benedict is something that is also on the brunch part of the lunch menu if you want to have more." Cameron said. "That is for the sit down lunch in the main dining room."

That information made Allison wonder what else they would have.

"When's lunch?" Allison asked. "Can we see the menu?"

Vanna did not see how Allison could be so hungry.

"You just finished breakfast a few minutes ago." Vanna said.

John flipped through the 'room service' menu before.

"Lunch is any time you want it with room service." John said. "There are also breakfast and dinner options."

Vanna wondered what that was like.

"Have you done that?" Vanna asked.

"No." John said.

Cameron wanted to remind them of all of the choices.

"You can start out with the pizza and hamburger grill on the pool deck at eleven and move to the buffet at eleven thirty when the lunch is served on one side." Cameron said. "The other side still has breakfast food. Then you can move down to the main dining room for a fancy lunch like our breakfast was."

Allison licked her lips.

"When's dinner?" Allison asked.

Vanna shook her head.

"You haven't even had lunch yet." Vanna said.

Allison pointed out the obvious.

"It seems like the primary thing to do is eat on the ship." Allison said. "What goes in must come out."

Cameron knew that was true.

"Some people have equated the cruise ship to a floating 'dump factory'." Cameron said. "I'm very pleased my chassis does not contribute to that."

Allison felt a slight twinge.

"Lucky you." Allison said.

Cameron looked at Allison's belly.

"Not for everything." Cameron said.

She looked at Vanna's nursing breasts.

"Some biological functions are beautiful." Cameron said.

John did not want Cameron to start thinking about what her chassis and sheath could not do. It was time to change the subject.

"Where do we go for the galley tour?" John asked.

"It's in the main theater." Cameron said.

That sounded like the last place you would go to see a galley tour to Vanna.

"Why would we go there instead of the galley?" Vanna asked.

Cameron checked into that too.

"They put on a culinary demonstration first." Cameron said.

"That sounds boring." Allison said.

"We can always hang out in the international café on deck five." Cameron said. "We can join the tour when they leave the main theater. Jim can give us a 'heads up'."

"I want to do that." Allison said. "There were a lot of good looking things to eat in the international café.

"You just ate." Vanna said.

"Remember she needs to eat for two." Cameron said.

"Yeah." Vanna said. "That's two, not two dozen."

John wanted to throw some other activities out there.

"Maybe we can play miniature golf or use one of the pools." John said.

Cameron wanted to make sure the girls could get some exercise in.

"We can look around and see what anyone likes." Cameron said. "The Zumba class is about to start in the rear lounge."

John saw the rear lounge was right in back of them.

"I guess we can look since we are right here." John said.

Allison spotted some young females walk past in revealing outfits as they went into the rear lounge.

"I think John wants to see the scantily clad females that are showing up." Allison said.

"We can dress or undress like that too." Vanna said.

Vanna was aware that John already knew what she looked like 'everywhere' after being with Cameron in Hanna's chassis.

Cameron led the group in to watch the Zumba workout.

She pictured Sheila leading the class naked as they worked out. It would be an enticing way to get people to come.

Savannah and Young Allison finished their breakfast.

"Where is our beach attire?" Young Allison asked.

"It's in the van." Cammy said. "Brian just returned with everything we did not bring."

"Let's go check it out." Young Allison said.

Savannah left a tip for the waitress after they paid the bill.

Young Allison saw it was a 'C note'.

"That was a big tip." Young Allison said. "It was a lot more than the bill."

Savannah was happy with her reason.

"She is a working mother." Savannah said. "She can use a little help."

"How do you know that?" Young Allison asked.

"I heard her tell the other waitress that her daughter needed new shoes for school." Savannah said. "Now she can get them."

Young Allison wondered if it was really about the female Fanatic that Savannah most likely killed in the early hours of the morning. She was not going to ask.

They went out to the van.

"You can change in the back." Cammy said.

"Look how convenient it is that we have our own changing station." Savannah said as she looked over at Young Allison. "Did you tell anyone we were going to do this?"

"No." Young Allison said.

Anna wanted to make sure they were protected.

"Don't forget to put some sun block on." Anna said.

Savannah looked at Cammy and Anna.

"Aren't you going to change?" Savannah asked.

"We were going to give you some privacy when you put the sun block on." Cammy said.

Savannah wondered what they thought was going to happen.

"You can join us or wait." Young Allison said.

Anna and Cammy looked at each other. They wanted to join them but refrained.

"We will wait." Anna said. "It will give you more room."

Savannah and Young Allison climbed in the back of the van.

They spotted a one piece swim suit for Savannah and a bikini for Young Allison. There was also a one piece for Anna and a bikini for Cammy.

The girls stripped down and put sun screen on.

"Do you want to catch my back?" Young Allison asked.

"If you do mine." Savannah said.

Young Allison picked up the bottle.

"Turn around." Young Allison said. "Unless you want me to catch the front. I'll let you catch it on me first."

Savannah wondered how much of this was orchestrated by Young Allison at this point.

"Hold out your hand." Young Allison said.

She shot some sunscreen into Savannah's hand and faced her….

Savannah and Young Allison could 'touch' each other without actually touching each other this way. Most likely the girls would be covered with sunscreen everywhere. They would be totally protected.

Derek and Kyle met back up in the Command Center.

"What is the follow up on the operation?" Derek asked.

John Henry went over everything.

"We want a target." Kyle said. "That was a close one yesterday. We want some payback."

Derek nodded. He did too.

"We don't think those were Grays or Fanatics." Derek said. "They were from a different future or a further future."

That was John Henry's and CamNet's assessment as well.

"Based on the technology described I would have to agree." John Henry said.

"What was that 'portal thing' that Savannah and Cammy encountered?" Derek asked.

"I don't know what it was. It was outside any technology I know of other than theory." John Henry said. "Sit down."

John Henry indicated two seats.

Some images began to appear.

"Is that body cam footage of the portal?" Kyle asked.

"Yes. Some of it is from Terminator video files as well." John Henry said. "I downloaded everything to try to determine what we faced. I don't know where it went to or how it worked. It is impossible as far as anything I can imagine."

They watched the footage.

"Where does it go to?" Derek asked. "It must lead to somewhere."

"It is just a wall there." Kyle said. "Where did all the ordnance go? The entire front of the building should be gone."

"I don't know." John Henry said. "I think we damaged it and you can see what happened."

"I see that was another close one for Cammy and Savannah." Derek said.

Derek and Kyle did not like all the danger Savannah needed to face.

"We want to do more." Kyle said.

John Henry pointed out the obvious.

"You did yesterday and early this morning." John Henry said. "It did not work out as planned."

Derek felt a little defensive.

"There was no plan." Derek said. "We went in to find Savannah and bring her out."

New images appeared.

"What's this?" Kyle asked. "It looks like where we were."

"CamNet has created a series of images to reenact what happened in the two buildings based on everyone's description and the building plans." John Henry said. "This is a compilation of all of the after action reports."

They watched a CGI video of Young Allison in action.

"The details are off a little but that looks pretty much like what happened." Derek said. "Just look at her!."

"That's really amazing to see." Kyle said. "You can see why we thought Young Allison was Metal at first. That vapor was thick and stung."

"I have been unable to identify it specifically." John Henry said. "I think it is something that was developed in the future. It was probably developed to incapacitate people so they could be rounded up for work camps."

Derek was impressed with what he viewed in the building they were in. He hoped there was more.

"Are their images of what Savannah and Young Allison did in the other building?" Derek asked.

"Yes." John Henry said. "I will play what CamNet created from the point where we lose the body cam footage and the Terminators were ordered out by Savannah."

Derek noticed that Savannah had the opportunity to leave two times.

"Savannah could have left." Derek said. "There was a time bubble sent twice for her."

That was something he'd asked Savannah about.

"She chose to get to the other building to make sure all of our Terminators made it out." John Henry said. "She wanted to make sure no one was left behind."

They watched everything go from bad to worse and then Young Allison arrived and opened up. They watched her mow down the men and make sure they were dead. It was cold and ruthless. They watched it all including the underground passageway recreation.

"This all happened like this?" Derek asked.

John Henry actually thought it was worse.

"Yes." John Henry said. "There may be more that was not told to us. CamNet and I think it was even more gruesome than what you see."

Derek and Kyle watched in amazement.

"Is this really the first time Young Allison was in combat?" Derek asked.

"Yes." John Henry said. "I verified that with CamNet."

Kyle saw some more to it.

"I can tell you right now that she is the future leader of the Resistance. The people will follow her anywhere with a fight like that." Kyle said. "I can't even imagine how good she will become with more experience."

"Remember, they are the 'Chosen Ones'." John Henry said.

That statement held a little more meaning to Derek now.

"I was never sure what that meant before." Derek said. "I've seen the way humans and machines respond to both of them."

"There were two drones that we saw in most of these operations that seem to always be there." Kyle said. "We saw two that even had names."

"The machines all volunteer to assist them." John Henry said. "The word has spread among the machines that the 'Chosen Ones' will repair them if possible or 're-chassis' them from copies of their programs. The personal loyalty is unheard of among machines. Every one of them will do more than the job assigned to them."

Derek wondered where this went.

"What are we really dealing with here?" Derek asked.

John Henry tilted his head slightly.

"The future." John Henry said.
