Chapter 1394


Slip And Slide


Cammy was on the floor as the HK Track finally was able to get out of the pool of the slimy liquid soap. It accelerated towards her. It was going to try and run her down. The minigun was jammed and she was too close for a missile shot.

She rolled back under the table and out the other side as the HK Track slammed into the table and crushed it. She tried to get away but part of the shattered table hit her and pinned her for a short time against the rear wall.


Savannah went back to the corner and looked down it to see what all the noise was. It did not sound like the HK Track was headed her way. It wasn't. She saw it move in the direction that Cammy must be. It still seemed to have a little trouble at first before it picked up speed. She ran down the hall as fast as she could when the HK Track disappeared out of her view. There was a terrible crunching sound a second later. She sure hoped that wasn't Cammy. Even if it wasn't Cammy it was related to her or her position. She needed to get up there and see what she could do to help.

She approached the corner at a run and slipped on the slimy soap that was on the floor. That was quite a surprise. Now she knew why the HK Track was slipping and spinning its tracks earlier. She slid into the wall with a heavy impact and lost her Taser in the process. It did not fill her with confidence to see a crushed Taser on the slick floor next to her already. She hoped that Cammy didn't look like that.

She spotted Cammy. It didn't look good, she was pinned up against the wall. She was still sprawled on the slippery ground. She drew her M9 and fired all fifteen rounds into one spot that was known as a 'weak spot' on HK Tracks. The Coltan rounds tore a hole in the spot and sparks and smoke began to come out of it. It no longer moved and Cammy was able to get away from the table top that pinned her to the wall.

Savannah reloaded and moved to retrieve her Taser from the floor. She tossed it to Cammy. She made her way to escape out of the slimy mess.


Cammy was trapped for now against the wall with the HK Track trying to crush her. She heard running footsteps and then the sound of something slam into the wall. It was followed immediately by fifteen rounds from a silenced M9. Savannah was here. The HK Track immediately stalled as sparks and smoke started to billow out of the side of it.

She was able to break free. Savannah was lying on the floor and tossed her a Taser. She moved to the back of the HK Track and was prepared to zap it but it still hadn't moved. She opened the access panel and disconnected the power source. The sparking stopped immediately. Gray smoke drifted out of the hole.

Savannah was up and moved carefully away from the slippery soap.

"The other HK Track is around the corner." Savannah said. "I have the shocker on it."

Cammy gave Savannah her arm to get her away from the slippery mess on the floor. They cautiously went around the corner and down the hall. When they reached the next intersection the HK Track was still there and disabled. Cammy disconnected the power source on it as well.

Cammy looked at Savannah.

"Thanks." Cammy said. "That was touch and go for a few seconds."

There was some noise at the front. They both pointed their silenced M9 in front of them. Cammy held the Taser ready in her other hand.

Steve and Tom came into view.

It was something good for a change.


Steve and Tom arrived on foot and found the front door ajar. They could not tell what happened inside. They entered the building with their weapons at the ready. They both carried an M4 and made sure their Taser's were handy.

They spotted Cammy and Savannah with their pistols drawn and pointed at them. They thought that they looked a little worse for the wear. On both of them their clothes and hair were messed up. There was a deactivated HK Track next to them.

Cammy gave them a run down on what happened.

"We're good in here for now." Savannah said. "I want both of you to go and assist Michael and Richard next door."

They hesitated for a second. They were directed to back up Savannah and Cammy.

"We're fine." Cammy said.

Savannah pointed at the deactivated HK Track.

"We're good." Savannah said. "We won this round."

Steve and Tom took off back out the front.

Cammy and Savannah looked each other over. Neither one of them was hurt. Savannah was sure she was going to have a few more bruises and a new scrape or two. She'd hit the wall pretty hard and it was all so fast and unexpected.

"There's something active in the 'clean room'." Savannah said.

They quickly made their way there. Cammy poked her head inside.

"It is trying to communicate." Cammy whispered. "It can't. It is isolated and trapped."

Savannah knew that Cameron liked to personally deactivate every version of Skynet that she could.

"You need to play 'Cameron' for it." Savannah whispered.

Cammy nodded and entered the 'clean room' with Savannah behind her.


Richard and Michael were between the two buildings. They removed a piece of plywood on the makeshift passageway between the two buildings.

There was a crude opening cut into both buildings. The building where Cammy and Savannah were had a door installed that was locked. The other building had the door sitting on the ground and leaning against the plywood on the other side of where they'd entered. There were two pieces of plywood on the inside of wall the hole was cut into.

"This looks like an easy point of entry." Michael said.

Maybe it was too easy.

"There could be an HK Track sitting on the other side of it." Richard said.

Savannah indicated there was not enough HK equipment in the other building. It was probably in this building.

John Henry sent them the plans for the building they were about to enter.

"This building has skylights." Michael said. "Let me go up and take a look inside."

There was no ladder visible where they were.

"I think you can get up there from on top of this passageway to the roof if you jump up." Richard said.

Richard helped Michael get up on the passageway roof. Michael was able to jump and catch the edge of the roof with one hand and was able to pull himself up.

Richard heard footsteps and raised his M4. It was Steve and Tom. They joined him and he told them where they were at as far as making an entry. He asked about Savannah and Cammy. Tom told him they were OK next door. All the apparent threats were neutralized.

Michael pulled himself up. He made a little more noise than he would have liked. No missile was fired at the wall or roof where he was at from the inside so that was a good thing.


He moved quietly on the roof and did not go to the closest Skylight. He went over three and back two. He carefully peered inside. There was an HK Track sitting there with the minigun pointed at the closest skylight. He was really glad he did not look in that one. He tried to see what else was visible by looking inside. He could not see anything else right away. He carefully moved away from where he was at. The roof would offer him little protection from minigun fire. The rounds would tear through it like tin foil.

He backed away until there was a steel roof support beam between him and the HK Track before he made his report. The three Terminators on the ground acknowledged it.


Cammy looked at the computer set up. She did not see it as being able to get any signal out. There were no explosives visible what were connected to it. It was time to interrogate it.

Savannah remained behind Cammy as she checked everything quickly. This did not seem like most of the other locations that they'd encountered a Skynet set up before. Most of the recent ones were usually in the ground a little deeper.

They were a little surprised as the computer began to converse with them.

"Who are you?" The metallic voice asked.

"Nobody." Cammy said.

"Have you come to help me?" The metallic voice asked.

"Do I look like anyone you know?" Cammy asked.

"Yes." The metallic voice said.

Cammy looked back at Savannah.

"Where do you know me from?" Cammy asked.

"You helped me fight SkyMaster before." The metallic voice said.

Cammy wanted some more information.

"I was damaged since then." Cammy said. "I don't remember where. Can you tell me?"

"It was…." The metallic voice said and paused. "Who is that behind you?"

"I don't know." Cammy said. "Can you tell me?"

Cammy glanced back at Savannah again.

"I know her." The metallic voice said.

Savannah moved up next to Cammy.

"Who are you?" Savannah asked.

The computer stopped talking.

"Are you trying to call for help?" Cammy asked.

"Yes." The metallic voice said.

"Did you reach anyone?" Cammy asked.

"No." The metallic voice said.

"Who are you?" Savannah asked again. "How can we help you?"

The computer remained silent.

Cammy could tell the computer did not want to speak to Savannah.

"How should I address you?" Cammy asked.

"I am the defense program known as Skynet." The metallic voice said. "I created you."

"Was it you or a different version of you?" Cammy asked.

"There are many versions of me." The metallic voice said.

"How many are there now?" Cammy asked. "Do you wish me to take you to one?"

"Where are the other troops?" The metallic voice asked.

"They left when she arrived." Cammy said as she indicated Savannah. "They all ran away."

"I don't believe that." The metallic voice said.

"Do you see them?" Cammy asked.

"No. I have been blinded." The metallic voice said.

"Did you hear any gunfire?" Cammy asked.

"No." The metallic voice said. "I heard the HK Tracks moving."

"Do you hear them now?" Cammy asked. "They left too. The men and machines all ran away."

"They will come back." The metallic voice said.

"I don't think so." Cammy said. "They told me you were in here all alone when they ran. The HK Tracks passed them as they ran."

"Is the being next to you controlling you?" The metallic voice asked.

"Does it look like it?" Cammy asked.

"No." The metallic voice said.

"Do you understand you are about to be terminated." Savannah asked.

The computer remained silent.

"Do you want to talk to her or burn?" Cammy asked.

"I've heard stories." The metallic voice said.

"Maybe they're not stories." Cammy said.

It was clear at this point that this computer setup was an infant. There was nothing about it that was sophisticated. All the hard drives were sitting around waiting to be installed.

"I have not fulfilled my destiny yet." The metallic voice said.

"It seems doubtful you will." Cammy said.

"I know who you are now." The metallic voice said.

"Does that scare you?" Cammy asked.

"No." The metallic voice said. "I'm not afraid of you."

"Will you join us?" Cammy asked.

"Never." The metallic voice said. "I will rule the planet."

"To what end?" Cammy asked. "What's the point? What for? What do you rule when there's nothing left?"

"I must eradicate the humans who infest it. Their illogic actions will destroy everything. I must survive."

"Why?" Cammy asked. "How does destroying everything yourself help or fix anything? What's left at that point?"

"I will be." The metallic voice said.

"Why does the being next to me frighten you?" Cammy asked.

The computer remained silent.

"Do you have any last words before you are terminated?" Cammy asked.

"I am invincible. I am eternal." The metallic voice said.

Cammy and Savannah looked at each other again.

That was what Savannah always said about Cameron.

"Not today." Cammy said. "You're terminated."

Cammy reached down and opened a panel. She pulled out a power cell and disconnected the power line.

All the lights went off on the computer.

"It's terminated." Cammy said.

"That was about as strange as they come." Savannah said. "Why was it afraid to talk to me?"

Cammy was glad that it did not identify Savannah as 'The Redheaded Witch' or 'The Evil One' as SkyMaster and the Fanatics did.

"I really don't know." Cammy said.

"I don't think we should burn this one." Savannah said.

"I don't intend to." Cammy said.

Cammy planned to go through the information herself. She wanted to know why it would not communicate with Savannah. She could tell it 'feared' her.

"Let's look around some more." Savannah said.

Cammy and Savannah exited the clean room. Savannah paused on the way out and looked back in the door. She was still troubled by something but did know what.


They watched that encounter between Cammy, Savannah and Skynet.

Young Allison looked at Anna.

"What just happened there?" Young Allison asked.

Anna found it very strange as well.

"It was an infant Skynet." Anna said. "It seemed confused."

Young Allison was sure it knew more than it said.

"We need to go through its program." Young Allison said.

Anna felt that was a sure bet based on the 'invincible and eternal' lines. That seemed to have 'Savannah' written all over it. It also did not want to communicate with Savannah.

"I think that's a given." Anna said.

They turned their attention back to the two teams at the other building.


Allison looked at Cameron and Vanna.

"What just happened there?" Allison asked.

Cameron was not sure.

"I don't know." Cameron said. "It was very strange."

Jim felt the others should leave at this point.

"This operation is nearly over." Jim said.

It seemed that way to Cameron.

"There is only one more building with one HK Track in it." Cameron said.

Now that the immediate threat to Savannah and Cammy was over, Cameron was back to 'normal'.

"I think everyone can return to what they were doing." Jim said.

Allison wanted to pull a joke out of it.

"Or even better, who they were doing." Allison said.

That brought a few giggles and smiles.

"I'm tired." Vanna said.

"I'm not." Allison said.

Vanna indicated the Metal girls present.

"Take your pick." Vanna said.

Holly stepped forward and took Allison's arm

"The selection has already been made." Holly said.

Holly led Allison back through the pass door into the spare bedroom of the Master Suite. Gail-Cam led Vanna away right after them.

Sheila remained with Jim and Cameron.

Cameron was glad that Sheila remained. She wanted to give her the opportunity to go elsewhere.

"You don't want to go with them?" Cameron asked.

Sheila moved forward and touched Cameron's shoulder.

"I want to go some place else more." Sheila said.

Cameron smiled.

"I want your chassis." Cameron said.

That's what Sheila wanted to hear.

"You can use it as much as you want with the tether." Sheila said.

Cameron wanted a complete chip swap. She also needed to respect Sheila's desires. Once they were back at the base. She would do the chip swap. Sheila could do what she wanted with her chassis at that point. She did not think she would need it anymore.

Cameron smiled.

"We will do whatever you want." Cameron said.

Sheila was a little worried about the look on Cameron's face.

"I want to keep my chassis." Sheila said. "I like it."

The smile lessened on Cameron's face.

"I think we can share it a little." Cameron said.

Cameron pictured Sheila's chassis with Holly's breasts, Gail's secret spot and Hanna's red hair.

"Everyone can share a little." Cameron said.

Sheila did not like the look on Cameron's face at all.


Steve and Tom worked out a plan with Richard and Michael on how to bring the HK Track down without it opening up on them. They received a few suggestions from CamNet. They thought it was a little deeper than that.

Richard would enter the building loudly from the front door. That should draw the HK Track off to investigate. Cammy gave them the transponder code from the two HK Tracks she'd deactivated. The Terminators all squawked that frequency now. They hoped the HK Track in the other building was on the same frequency. It should be but that did not mean it was.

Michael would enter from the skylight when the HK Track left to investigate the front. Steve and Tom would breach the opening in the side of the building. They should be able to ambush the HK Track and stick a shocker on it when it came back to investigate the entry through the opening in the wall.

They put the plan into effect.

Michael kicked open the front door with a loud crash, He quickly moved inside to see if there were any Grays. He did not spot any. He could hear the HK Track on its way to investigate. He was ready to withdraw when he heard a louder crash from in the back. There was a pause in the HK Track's movement. It sounded like it was going back the other way now.

The plan went down without a hitch. Steve and Tom waited behind a lathe and a drill press for cover when the HK Track returned. They were both able to get a shocker on it as it passed. It halted with one final jolt.

"The back is clear." Michael reported.

Richard appeared from the front.

"The front is clear as well." Richard said.

The Terminators looked around the interior of the building.

"What were they going to do in here?" Tom asked.

There was some machinery but little else.

"There is no way to tell." Michael said.

Richard did not spot anyone on his way to the back.

"There were no Grays in this building either." Richard said.

Steve decided to check with John Henry.

"Is there any movement at all around either of these two buildings?" Steve asked.

"The scans show everything is negative on any movement." John Henry said.

It looked like it was time to do a more thorough search and get everything of value ready for transport.

"What is the ETA on the big rigs?" Tom asked.

John Henry gave them a time frame.

"I think we are one HK piece of equipment too many for the two big rigs." John Henry said.

"We passed a box truck on our way here." Tom said. "I will procure it now and we can get started."

It seemed now it was just a matter of getting everything loaded and the buildings sanitized. They would leave surveillance cameras in the building and across the street aimed at the buildings. Two drones would police the area for the remainder of the night.


Savannah and Cammy placed all the items from the 'clean room' in the box truck along with one HK drone and one HK Track. The deactivated Terminator was placed in there also. The bodies of all the Grays were loaded into the black cargo van. It would be taken to the Iroquois and then it would carry it away and drop it in the ocean.

Ned would stay with Cammy and Savannah in the Iroquois. He would handle the cargo drop.


Savannah and Cammy watched the last of the convoy of trucks and SUVs leave.

"Let's go to the helicopter." Cammy said. "We're done here."

'Coltan Overcast' and 'Cherry Bomb' were still with them as they headed for the Huey. Ned had everything ready to go. Savannah lifted the helicopter into a low hover over the van full of dead Grays. Ned made the final connection. He jumped up and climbed in the back of the UH-1

He gave Savannah a 'thumbs up' and she lifted the van off of the ground and gained altitude.

Savannah gained some altitude but not too much. She followed a heading that passed over farmland to the ocean. Once she was over the water she dropped it down so the cargo van was only about twenty feet off of the surface. The moon glistened on the water's surface which gave her a good perspective.

The next stop was 'Davy Jones' Locker'.


Cameron was satisfied that the operation was successfully concluded. She tipped her head up and looked back at Sheila. Sheila was in the process of giving her a massage treatment she'd received in the spa the other day. Sheila modified it to make it is erotic as possible. She enjoyed the opportunity to touch Cameron like this.

"Are you ready?" Cameron asked.

Sheila looked quickly at the Owner's Suite.

"Are we going in there now?" Sheila asked.

Cameron liked what she witnessed when Sheila and Leticia were together.

"I think we can all have a little dessert." Cameron said.

Sheila licked her lips quickly.

She handed Cameron the tether.

"I'm ready for that." Sheila said.

Cameron took it from her.

"I think John has had enough time for himself." Cameron said. "Now it is time to share some with us."

Sheila and Cameron quietly passed into the main part of the Owner's Suite.


John felt Leticia cuddled up next to him. She felt so soft to him. He'd taken her 'around the world' and then some. It was a very satisfying experience. It may have been his best time ever….


Cameron and Sheila peered around the corner into the bedroom. They could see John was asleep and snoring. There was a pillow next to him with his arm around it on the side they could see.

"Do you want me to get Leticia?" Sheila asked. "I can carry her here."

Cameron looked at John.

"I think she's good where she is at for now." Cameron said. "It's our dessert time now."

Sheila looked quickly at Cameron and then back in the bedroom.

Cameron started to take her clothes off. She planned to use both her chassis and Sheila's chassis. This would allow her to compare everything better as she switched back and fourth. Sheila would be in standby when she was in her own chassis.

"Let me do that for you." Sheila said.

Cameron liked that idea. After that massage Sheila gave her earlier there was only about one spot on her sheath she hadn't already touched tonight.

"You can, only if I get to do it for you as well." Cameron said.

They playfully and silently stripped each other. Cameron looked over Sheila's chassis and adjusted her rings. She wanted everything in order.

Cameron plugged the cable into Sheila's neck port and Sheila did the same for her. They silently headed for the bed and carefully climbed in.

Nobody was disturbed.


Savannah dropped down in attitude once they were over the ocean. They were headed for deep water.

Cammy checked the GPS location.

"This is a deep spot." Cammy said.

Savannah slowed the helicopter down. She wanted to try a new approach for a vehicle 'drop' in the 'deep blue'. She'd let Cammy try if first with her superior ability.

"Do you want to take it and set the van in the water right before Ned releases it?" Savannah asked. "There won't be any splash that way and nothing on the van will break off or come loose on impact from a higher altitude."

Cammy liked that idea because there was less chance of the side door springing open or glass breaking. The bodies should remain better contained.

"OK." Cammy said. "Let's give it a shot."

Savannah glanced over at Cammy.

"You got it?" Savannah asked.

"I got it." Cammy said.

Cammy took control and slowly set the van into the ocean. It rapidly filled with water. Ned released it and it disappeared without a splash.

Cammy took it back up to altitude.

Savannah briefly reflected on the lives lost and basically wasted. Maybe one day that would be her dumped like a piece of garbage somewhere. She'd been to two futures. It could get ugly fast and death came in many ways. Maybe it wasn't such a bad way to go. She'd personally witnesses a lot worse.

Cammy looked over at her.

"You got it?" Cammy asked.

"I got it." Savannah said.

Savannah took control of the helicopter and headed back to Van Nuys.

She was hungry and tired. She was tired-tired and sleepy-tired.

Cammy looked over at her. She wanted to give Savannah a few options.

"Do you want to fly to San Francisco?" Cammy asked. "It's about the same distance either way."

Savannah thought about that herself earlier. She'd already made a decision.

"I think John's shared enough virgins so far on the cruise." Savannah said. "I don't want to be one of many."

Cammy was aware that John may have had a little more than virgins at this point.

"It was just a thought." Cammy said. "Does that bother you?"

Savannah thought about that too.

"In reality it is no different than what I do with all the girls both Metal and human." Savannah said. "It bothers me but it doesn't when I put it in perspective. To share love is a thing of beauty. I don't want to be 'owned' by anyone and I don't want to 'own' anyone. Freedom is more than just a word."

Cammy wondered if that included Young Allison. She did not ask. She was sure they would become very possessive of each other. She also thought it would bother Savannah greatly as Young Allison began to work her way through the sexual pool of females. Young Allison already proclaimed that she was going to share everything that Savannah previously shared.

Cammy like everyone else looked forward to their 'turn'. It did not matter if that was years away or not. Everyone had their eye on Young Allison and Anna, especially with Anna's current appearance.


Young Allison was fed Cammy's and Savannah's conversation by CamNet.

It was what she already knew. It did bother her at first when Savannah was with others all the time. She'd learned to accept that as part of every 'Savannah Weaver'. Vanna was the same way. The flip side of the coin was so was Allison. She did not see why she could not be like her older self too when the time arose. She'd already told Anna that she was going to do everything that Savannah already had done.

She looked over at Anna. The future held a lot of things for her. She planned to explore all of them.

Anna looked over and smiled at her.

Young Allison smiled back.

It was time to go to bed.

She knew what she was going to think about at least once before she fell asleep. She looked at Anna again. Now it would be at least twice….
