Chapter 1368

See Through Cover Up

Bob wanted to keep track of Sheila and Ally.

He saw that Sheila and Ally were headed to the casino wearing only their string bikinis. They both appeared naked at first glance. Dressed or undressed like that they were bound to cause trouble or raise some issues.

That attire was not permitted in the casino.

He tried to contact Jim but there was no response. He was surprise when CamNet answered his call to Jim.

He asked CamNet to inform Sheila and Ally of the proper dress code for the casino.

CamNet said she would handle it and there was nothing to worry about.

When CamNet spoke, everyone listened.

It was CamNet's ship after all.

Sheila and Ally exited on deck six and headed straight for the casino. Everyone they passed looked at them. Children pointed at them. That seemed to upset their parents.

Sheila did not see what the big deal was. How was being down a few decks any different than being dressed like this on the pool deck? Anyone could see them up there just as easy.

"I don't know about this." Ally said. "Look at us."

Sheila did look.

"We're over dressed." Sheila said. "I think we should be topless."

Sheila reached back to take her top off. Ally slapped her hand.

"You are going to bring Cameron down on us." Ally said.

Sheila did not see Cameron as that big of a problem anymore.

"I think we've already 'paid' any debts to her. We allowed her to have what she wanted from us." Sheila said. "I don't regret it either."

Ally needed to agree with Sheila on that. She didn't have any second thoughts about it herself. What Cameron 'did' for them was beautiful.

They both received a message on their coms from 'Cameron' to proceed to the first store right outside the casino. There would be some suitable apparel waiting for them.

That was a surprise for both of them.

"Is this Cameron?" Sheila asked.

There was an even bigger surprise behind the message.

"No." CamNet said. "You are guests on MY ship."

Ally and Sheila looked at each other quickly. They knew it was CamNet. That was even worse than Cameron. CamNet could cause all kinds of problems for them if they 'crossed' her.

They said it was no problem and passed through the casino without stopping. Every head in there turned to watch them pass through.

The level of attention that they drew was not lost on CamNet as she observed them. She noted that Sheila was the bigger draw of looks and repeat looks.

Sheila and Ally did not talk about what just happened with CamNet. They went to the first shop and the attendant smiled at them when they walked in.

"Are you Peggy Sue?" The attendant asked.

Sheila thought about having a 'nip slip'. It should make the attendant's day.

"That's us." Sheila said. "I'm Sue. That's Peggy behind me."

The attendant looked a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry. I thought it was one name like in the song." The attendant said.

Ally didn't bother to tell them that is where those names came from as they passed a lounge where the song was playing. When Mary and Laura asked for their names that was what popped up in her head.

"It is a common mistake." Ally said. "We are often together."

Sheila looked at Ally and winked.

The attendant noticed and gathered they were more than casual 'friends'.

"I have what you ordered ready for you." The attendant said.

The attendant handed them each a white crochet cover up.

Sheila looked at it. She smiled as she put it on.

"How do I look, love?" Sheila asked.

Ally could see the 'cover up' didn't cover up much.

"Pretty much like you did before. Even though you are wearing the 'cover up'. it does not cover much on you up. I can still see everything." Ally said.

Sheila watched Ally put hers on.

"I see what you mean." Sheila said. "I like it."

Sheila thought the 'cover up' might as well have been a 'see through cover up'.

Ally still felt next to naked. She did not want to bring CamNet down on them.

"Is this acceptable for the casino?" Ally asked.

The attendant was surprised at the question. They'd received a message right before the order was place stating that the 'cover up' was acceptable in any part of the ship except the main dining room at dinner. It went out to all department heads to immediately notify their workers. It was to promote a new line of clothing on the ship for the parent company.

"Yes." The attendant said. "Since it is sold on the ship it is acceptable. It's a new product line."

The crochet cover up did little to cover up the figures and bikinis that they wore. It was little more coverage that fishnet material. They liked CamNet's choice. They doubted Cameron would have been OK with this look. If they were lucky they wouldn't see her for awhile.

Sheila was pleased that everything was still clearly visible even if it was 'covered'.

"I like CamNet's taste in 'cover ups'." Ally said. "Thank you CamNet."

It looked like CamNet did them a 'real solid'.

"It does show a certain sense of style." Sheila said. "Thank you CamNet."

Sheila thought about removing her top but decided not to push it. There was still plenty showing. There was no need to anger CamNet. They thanked the attendant and headed back into the casino.

Every head that turned when they walked through the casino the first time in just their bikinis to go to the shop turned again as they walked back in 'properly clothed'.

Sheila saw where they all looked. It was not her face either.

Ally never thought she was a knockout like Cameron was but she did feel that the majority of females that looked at her wished they could be her or at least look like her.

Cameron led John, Allison and Vanna from the elevator into the main dining room. One of the head waiters noticed Cameron arrive and personally escorted them to a table of their choosing.

She chose a window table on the side opposite of the sun so it would not shine in the window on them. Otherwise she would need to have Jim contact CamNet and change the course of the ship for the duration of their lunch. They were seated on the starboard side so it was not a problem.

The waiter and assistant waiter accompanied the head waiter to their table. They pulled out the chairs for the ladies and placed their napkins on their laps. They handed them the menus and took their drink order.

"That's service." Allison said as soon as they walked away.

They discussed what they wanted.

John would order a 'Swiss Steak' and he would split it with Allison and Vanna. The rest of the things they would order would be appetizers and desserts. They would all be shared.

They shared some small talk as they waited.

Cameron could feel the atmosphere shift some so they could soon 'share' with each other.

Mary and Laura enjoyed the view from the open deck as they walked the length of the ship. The wind was not too strong even though they were very exposed. When they passed the pools they could look from one side of the ship to the other. None of the superstructure was in the way. It was a beautiful view all around them at that point.

"There is nothing but water around us." Laura said.

Mary tried to be funny.

"We are on a ship." Mary said.

Laura frowned a little.

"You know what I mean." Laura said.

Mary laughed.

"I do." Mary said. "This is beautiful and so are you."

Mary stopped Laura for a second and gave her a kiss.

"I'm surrounded by beauty." Laura said.

They arrived at the rear elevator under the sky lounge.

"Do you want to go up to the sky lounge first?" Laura asked. "We can look around more."

They'd been up there when they'd first gotten up. There were only four people in there and two of them were reading. A lot of the people who didn't spend the extra hundred dollars for for an 'ocean view' cabin with a window or the have a balcony felt confined. The inside cabins were soon like a prison cell to many. They sought out some of the secluded public areas at first. As the cruise wore on they spent more time away anywhere other than the confining cabin.

Sometimes with the outbreaks of 'norovirus' on a ship, a balcony cabin is a Godsend. Those outbreaks were caused by a passenger who arrived on the ship and brought the virus with them and then spread it around. Recently there'd been reports of worse viruses.

"We were up there earlier." Mary said. "Nothing was happening."

Laura knew they went there earlier mainly to see if they could look into the nude sunbathing area. They could not. They were afraid it would be full of men.

"I guess we can go down." Laura said.

Mary liked the double meaning she could pull out of that statement.

"I think we do plenty of that." Mary said.

Both of them laughed as they waited for the elevator.

"It's wonderful too." Laura said as she gave Mary a kiss.

Neither one of them mentioned Leticia. She'd been a nice 'dessert snack' for both of them. They both liked how accommodating she was. She was up for anything either one of them wanted. Leticia was used to being a 'submissive'. She liked a strong female to dominate her.

The elevator arrived. A family of four with two small children exited. The little boy and girl both looked very excited.

They both watched the happy children. Kids were not forefront in their minds but they knew they weren't getting any younger either. It was something they both thought about from time to time. Right now was not the time. That was unless they found some hot stud that looked like he possessed a good genetic make up. They didn't want any strings attached.

They got in the elevator and went down to the main dining room.

"Wow!" Mary said. "Look at this place."

Mary was impressed. They normally did the 'anytime dining'. Their dining room was not so fancy. They'd tried Tony's Italian restaurant on the first night.

"This is just the entryway." Laura said.

They followed another couple in. They waited to be seated.

"This is sure fancy." Mary said as she looked around.

A waiter took them to their table.

They really liked the windows on both sides and the rear. The open section in the middle was nice to the deck above. It wasn't often that there was a two level dining room on a ship. It all added to the grandeur and splendor of the dining room. It was definitely a few steps above the 'anytime dining' room and about a light year ahead of the buffet.

Jim was busy as he watched the Metal girls in the two bedrooms of the Honeymoon Suite. He'd neglected his duties some. Even though Terminators could perform multiple tasks at the same time, it seemed easier to be side tracked more often, especially when dealing with sexual related things.

When he remembered to check his other monitors, he observed that Mary and Laura were about to enter the main dining room. They'd just seen the other Metal girls in their bikinis a few minutes ago. Now there was a chance they would see Cameron, Allison and Vanna again like they saw them in the buffet a short while before that. That might raise some questions.

Jim sent out a warning to Cameron.

Allison and Vanna played around with each other and laughing a little. They seemed to be having a really good time. It pleased Cameron to see that. She also noticed that John looked at both of them more as they played around. She liked to see that too.

Cameron sat with her back to the window. They all waited for their appetizers to arrive. She received the warning from Jim.

John was about to say something to Cameron when he saw the slight smile on her face replaced with a 'Terminator look'. He was instantly alert.

"What is it, Cameron?" John asked.

John wondered if it was one of the older couples that Cameron took issue with.

Cameron looked over by the entryway of the main dining room where they came in at.

"It's those two girls that Sheila and Ally keep interacting with." Cameron said.

That got Vanna and Allison's attention. They wanted to see more of them.

"Are those the two girls that Sheila pierced?" Vanna asked.

Cameron was not sure of the level of interaction that Ally and Sheila shared with the two girls. She didn't think they'd taken it too far. She could see Vanna and Allison were very interested in them.

"Those are the two." Cameron said. "If the see us, they are going to think Allison is Ally."

Allison hoped to meet them at some point based on what Ally and Sheila told them.

"I can pretend like I know them if they say anything." Allison said. "What were their names again?"

Cameron knew the two girls interacted with a third girl sometimes.

"Their names Mary and Laura, Mary has the pink top on." Cameron said.

Allison and Vanna both quickly looked in back of them at the new arrivals.

"That's my favorite color on women." Allison said.

Vanna looked at Allison and smiled.

"I think that depends where it is located on them." Vanna said.

Cameron received more information from Jim.

"They think Ally's name is 'Peggy' and Sheila's name is 'Sue'." Cameron said.

That seemed to ring a bell for Vanna.

"Didn't we hear a song named that or something like that?" Vanna asked.

"Yes." Cameron said.

Vanna liked the musical reference. She thought they should have one too.

"What are our code names?" Vanna asked.

Allison heard some 'surfer' tunes being played by one of the pools earlier. The group mentioned that they would play songs by the 'Beach Boys', 'Jan and Dean' and the Surfaries'.

"I know." Allison said. "If I'm supposed to be Peggy from 'Peggy Sue', you two can be 'Barbara Ann'."

The choice was easy for Vanna.

"I'm Ann." Vanna said quickly. "It's in my name already."

Cameron was not as pleased with her name. For some reason she thought of 'Batgirl'.

"I guess that leaves me as Barbara." Cameron said.

John looked over and spotted where Cameron was looking.

"Is that them?" John asked.

He was sure he'd seen them earlier. He did not remember where.

"Yes." Cameron said.

John thought they were both pretty good looking. He liked what he saw.

Cameron noticed.

Vanna and Allison thought they were good looking too and young.

John liked everything that unfolded. He wanted a cool code name too.

"What's my code name?" John asked.

Cameron could see John's interest in the girls rise as he checked them out in detail. She could see he concentrated on their figures.

"Mud." Cameron said.

Savannah and Cammy donned their bicycle helmets and mounted their bikes. They were going to go in light with just a Taser and an M9 each. They wanted to look like two high school girls out on a bike ride.

"Wait." Cammy said. "I don't want them to look at my face in detail."

Cammy unbuttoned two more buttons on her top. There was a lot of cleavage showing. It was a standard infiltration technique. The more female body parts that were exposed threw the target off balance and off guard. That worked for both male and females.

Savannah looked down at the front of her shirt. She hoped none of the people watching the place was a Fanatic. She seemed to have a negative effect on them with her appearance alone.

She removed her top and took her bra off.

"You can hang on to that for me." Savannah said.

She handed it to Tom.

She put her top on and only buttoned one button between her breasts and navel. There was a lot 'more' showing on Savannah now.

Tom looked at Savannah's bra that he now held in his hand. He could feel the heat from her body on the material. This caused him a certain amount of arousal that was most evident when Savannah had her top completely off.

Steve nudged him with his elbow.

Tom quickly folded the bra and put it in his pocket.

Cammy and Savannah went over the plan again. It seemed like a pretty good one to be able to approach the building. As long as they weren't any Fanatics, there should not be any issues.

Young Allison looked intently at her tablet. A drone image was zoomed in on Savannah. Her top was off and she removed her bra.

She quickly glanced at Anna but she was busy with images on several phones.

She was pretty sure that CamNet was responsible for the image she received. She was sure Savannah winked up at the drone right before she put her top back on. Savannah was between a delivery van and a SUV.

"What do you have there?" Anna asked.

The image she'd looked at on her tablet instantly un-zoomed.

"It's Savannah and Cammy about to ride out on their bikes." Young Allison said.

Anna thought Young Allison may have looked at something else. She looked at the image. It was what Young Allison said it was.

"They are about to roll." Anna said.

Young Allison was a little worried about Cammy.

"I want to make sure Cammy won't be injured." Young Allison said.

Anna knew that Terminators were very durable.

"Cameron has been hit by more than one car and fallen or been pushed out the window of a multistory building." Anna said. "I have those files. I don't think Cammy will be damaged in the slightest."

Young Allison looked at Anna for a second. It was easy to forget 'Cameron' was her base program. She acted more like 'Savannah' than 'Cameron'. That was because of the repeated 'Neural Interface' updates that Savannah did for Anna.

"I just want to make sure." Young Allison said. "I know Terminators are resilient and durable but they aren't indestructible either."

Anna thought Young Allison was pretty resilient herself. She watched the recreation that CamNet made of Young Allison's actions inside the two buildings and underground connector passageway. She'd been able to operate in an environment where Terminators could not have. She doubted any other of the Resistance fighters could have matched her performance either. It was simply astounding.

"Everyone does more than they would be expected to do on an operation." Anna said.

Young Allison gave her a faint smile.

"I guess they do." Young Allison said. "Cammy and Savannah are leaving now. Let's watch the drone footage. I want to make sure we watch out for incoming HK drones too if we trigger something."

Young Allison did not want to get caught 'flatfooted'.

The group in the commissary finished up lunch and drifted off.

Derek and Riley retreated back to their room as did Sarah and Kyle.

Summer volunteered Jan and her to wash the dishes and clean up.

Samantha stayed with Precious who was in the stroller. She wanted to give Riley and Derek some more privacy.

Claire and Jesse stayed to help the girls but Summer told them Jan and her had it under control.

Jan looked out at them as they left and she saw that they took each others top off as they hurried towards Jesse room.

Summer seemed not to notice as she concentrated on the dishes. She did not look at Samantha when she spoke to her.

"We can watch Precious for awhile." Summer said.

At that point she glanced back at Samantha.

Samantha understood that for what it meant. It would free her up to be with Claire and Jesse for a short time. That was what she'd been thinking about when Summer said it.

"I have my duty to Precious." Samantha said.

Summer smiled.

"Sometimes it's nice to have help." Summer said.

Jan was thrilled with the prospect of being able to watch Precious for a little while.

"I want to watch my cousin for awhile." Jan said. "I hardly ever get to do that."

Samantha knew the girls were responsible. She saw they were almost done with the dishes.

Jan went over and checked the 'diaper bag' for Precious.

"Everything we need is here." Jan said. "I'd like to watch her if you'll let me."

Summer cleaned up the sink.

"Go ahead, Samantha." Summer said. "We have this."

Summer checked Precious one more time and turned to walk out of the commissary. She paused and looked back at Jan.

"I'll make sure the door isn't closed tight." Samantha said and left.

Jan looked at Summer and suppressed a giggle.

Summer checked over the cooking area. Everything was cleaned and put away.

"We can take Precious to the recreation room." Jan said.

That sounded good to Summer. She wanted to make a quick stop first.

"I want to check with John Henry for a few minutes." Summer said. "I'll meet you there."

Jan pushed the stroller away and Summer headed for the Command Center.

John Henry followed the activity at the two sites they targeted. There was a drone over the tech company and he was going through all their computers as soon as he found a way in. It did not take long.

Everything looked legitimate and that worried him a little. He isolated all the information from them behind a few firewalls. The actual intrusion happened from a remote secure location set up for such endeavors. This was to prevent Skynet from getting a foothold in one of their computers. If anyone traced anything somehow all they would find was a bomb waiting for them. Everything at that location would be destroyed along with whoever snooped around.

He concentrated on the image of Savannah as she removed her top and bra. He'd watched it a dozen times already.

"She's beautiful."

John Henry jumped a little. He knew who it was. The image quickly disappeared.

"Summer, I didn't see you come in." John Henry said.

Summer smiled.

"That's always the point." Summer said. "Did you monitor your security feeds?"

John Henry felt a little embarrassed.

"No." John Henry said.

"We don't want intruders in the base do we?" Summer asked. "Maybe you should do a 'walk around' and make sure everything is secure."

"JH, my server, takes care of that." John Henry said.

"Does he?" Summer asked. "I think it's safe to say there are a few places JH can't view. I've been to a few of them myself."

John Henry began to check to see what she was getting at.

He saw all the couples retreat to their rooms and the doors close except Jesse's door. A short time later Samantha neared the door and looked around. She left it open a bit more when she entered.

John Henry turned back to speak with Summer and she was gone. There was no record of her ever leaving the commissary or where she went when she left the Command Center.

He glanced up at the security monitor and knew CamNet was all over his system right now. He'd been neglecting his duties. He looked at the security feed near Jesse's room. He wanted to go there and take a look. That was basically what Summer just told him he could do.

He quickly checked the operation Cammy and Savannah were about to conduct. His server could cover everything for a few minutes. He was drawn by an urge to go and peek in Jesse's room. It seemed to be something he needed to do. It was quite a compulsion.

He checked everything again and slipped out. He wondered if he would see Jan or Summer along the way.

The security feeds on his server tracked John Henry.

Summer emerged from in the back and took up John's seat.

She'd been in contact with CamNet and following the operation.

"I'm in." Summer said.

Summer knew everyone was tied up right now. She began to type silently as she communicated with CamNet. This happened outside the knowledge of John Henry's server.

This type of communication happened more and more without the knowledge of anyone. They'd only seen a few things here and there like a com.

This was not CamNet's doing. It was Summer's doing. She was the one who wanted more information from CamNet. CamNet possessed all the knowledge she could absorb. This was different than the 'relationship' CamNet tried to establish with Young Allison. This was a professional working relationship. What actually occurred here would be very disturbing to both Metal and humans of the Resistance. Summer and CamNet worked to improve each other and establish other forms of clandestine communication.

Summer did not want her mother to know how involved with the Resistance she really was.

CamNet did not want Cameron to 'catch' her communicating with Summer.

Jim watched what happened in the main dining room with the team there and the two girls that just entered. There was going to be some type of issue that developed there.

He watched the Metal girls in both bedrooms of the Honeymoon Suite.

Now he focused on Sheila and Ally as they reentered the casino. He watched every head turn to watch them pass. They wore 'cover ups' but not much was really covered.

He'd checked on the Showgirls earlier at the pool. They were all beautiful but he like the Resistance girls better.

Ally would have liked the 'cover up' to have actually been a cover up. She still felt very naked. She did like the looks she received from the females. She could see they were all jealous of how she looked. That was something she learned from Cameron. Cameron liked to 'show off' when she could. That all stemmed from John's earlier involvement with Riley – the dead one.

"Where do we start?" Ally asked. "You know you need to cool it too."

Sheila smiled at her.

"We'll see." Sheila said.

Sheila felt she was in control of her environment right now. She could see she distracted almost everyone.
