Chapter 1407


Just A Little Lower


Cammy moved around the two shredded Grays and into the building. Savannah followed her in. They could hear an electric type noise every now and then. All the power was cut so it was something else inside the building.

They moved past the office area in the front towards the workroom area in the back. There was a big hole in the roof. They approached a pile of debris underneath the hole. In the center of it was the HK drone that crashed back through the roof and into the building. They spotted the rear door roll up door of the building was open. That is where the HK drone was most likely launched from.

Cammy did not approach it right away. There was still the possibility there were more Grays hidden somewhere in the building.

They spotted the vehicle the Grays arrived in parked inside the building. There was a second vehicle there as well. That really spelled more Grays somewhere.

"Is there any other HK equipment in here?" Savannah whispered.

Savannah was not able to spot anything else with her night vision on.

Cammy could not see anything else either.

"Not that I can see from here." Cammy whispered. "We still need to check the other side of the building. There's a wall in the way."

Savannah covered Cammy while she went back and deactivated the downed HK drone. They didn't hear the intermittent electrical noise again after that.

Cammy rejoined Savannah after a short time. She carried the 'shocker' she removed from the downed HK drone in her hand.

"Are either of the shockers that you retrieved reusable?" Savannah whispered.

Cammy checked out both of the ones she carried.

"One may be." Cammy whispered. "I will need to stick it on by hand at this point. I still have the one from yesterday too."

Savannah stuck one of those on an HK Track herself yesterday.

"That means we need to get in close again." Savannah whispered.

There was a noise at the front of the building.

They heard through their coms that it was Al and Ed. They'd just arrived. Some additional backup seemed like a good thing at this point.

Cammy sent them a message to approach with caution. There were most likely some more Grays in the building. They decided to hold until Al and Ed approached them. They did not want any friendly fire.


Steve and Tom entered the building that was behind the group during the attack. It was on the south side of the street.

The HK Track that Savannah hit with the LAW rocket was damaged and inoperable. The 'control center' is where the rocket hit and instantly disabled the HK Track. There was no longer a center for commands to be received or the unit to operate autonomously, other than that it was largely intact.

They moved further into the lobby past the disabled HK Track. It no longer sparked. They could hear a grinding sound once they moved further in.

"The HK drone that was hit in its power plants is still trying to fly." Tom said in a low decibel tone.

They hoped it was not pointed in their direction. It might still be able to use some of its weapons. They may all be damaged as well after the plunge through the roof into the interior of the building.

Steve and Tom were advised that there was the possibility of hidden Grays. They entered the workroom area of the building. The HK drone was halfway through the roof and jammed against the ground at an angle. It sparked every time they heard the grinding noise. It might still be able to fire its weapons into the floor in front of it. That would cause a lot of ricochets and shrapnel if it did.

They were able to approach if from the side and move behind it. Tom disconnected the power supply and the grinding noise stopped along with the sparking.

The rear roll up door was open. It did not look like it was automatic. There was most likely one Gray or maybe more still in the building.

They called for a drone scan of their building and the one across the street. They received word that it was already done and still being done. The only thing moving were their teams. Hank and Larry would be able to join them in one minute. They directed them to enter from the rear roll up door that was open.


The performance was almost over in the main theater. It pleased Cameron greatly to see how much Allison, Vanna and Young Jesse enjoyed it.

They exited on the lower level when it finished. They went down the hall. They reached a small lounge before they got to elevator bank.

Cameron wanted everyone to have a good time. She wanted to give them the freedom to do what they wanted.

"Who wants to do what?" Cameron asked. "Everyone is free to go anywhere or do what they want."

It was clear that Vanna and Allison were going to hook up with Mary and Laura again. That meant Gail-Cam would need to go with them.

Cameron quietly asked Holly-Camille to go with them as well. She assured her she would be with Young Jesse and John.

Sheila and Leticia went off on their own. That wasn't a surprise to anyone.

That left John alone with Young Jesse and Cameron.

He was not sure what else was going to happen or when.

Cameron could see John needed some prompting. She was the one in control so she didn't have a problem with anything that happened because she was the one who made it all happen.

"John, I want you and your date to have a good time." Cameron said. "I will hang back and not listen to anything. I will only keep track of your whereabouts. You are free to do anything you two want to do."

Young Jesse looked a little nervous. This was a big step that was unchangeable once it was taken.

"Are you sure about 'everything', Cameron?" Young Jesse asked.

Cameron smiled and moved forward. She gave John and Young Jesse both a kiss on the cheek.

"I'm sure about this." Cameron said. "It's what I want for both John and you. I want this for Jesse too. We all have a part to play in that endeavor."

John was going to say something.

Cameron held out her left hand. There was no glitch evident.

Cameron did not want to point out in front of Young Jesse that John was with Vanna and Allison earlier in their suite. That was just to get him warmed up and acclimated for Young Jesse.

"Go to the buffet, the rear lounge or any lounge actually. There's usually some kind of music playing. You can dance or just hang out." Cameron said. "You can go to the suite for 'privacy' if you want to try 'something else'. I think you should 'give it a try' and see how it goes. I won't go in or listen."

A giant smile blossomed on Young Jesse's face.

"I really appreciate this, Cameron." Young Jesse said. "I expect John to 'deliver' so I can deliver in nine months."

Cameron could see John swallow hard. He looked more nervous than Young Jesse did.

John wanted the 'prize' Young Jesse offered. Even though she'd delivered one baby for Duplicate Jesse, she still hadn't been with a male for sex or love making yet.

Cameron smiled at both of them and walked away from them. She turned down her hearing as she did.


Sarah and Claire got a lot of 'touching' in during the dance and music practice.

Sarah thought about sitting on the sofa for a few minutes. The dance routine was actually very tiring. She just needed to rest for a little bit….

Sarah went over to the door and looked both ways before she closed it. She looked at Claire and locked it.

"I want a little more but I don't want to go too far at first." Sarah said. "I really like and enjoy being around you for 'everything'."

Sarah smiled and walked over to Claire. She took her hand and led her to the sofa. They sat down side by side. She leaned over and kissed Claire. She held the kiss and deepened it some but not too much. After about twenty seconds Claire deepened it. She did as well.

They both touched each other's face as they kissed. Sarah moved her hand over the curve along the side of Claire's torso.

Sarah's hand reached up and found Claire's left breast inside her shirt. Claire's hand slid inside her shirt and did the same. She could feel her nipple stiffen as Claire gently twisted her fingers on it. That effort further excited her.

She felt herself lose control. She was not really sure why she was doing this other than she felt the need to do it. There was a compulsion inside of her. She was with Claire right now but she knew she would do this with any of the females at the base. She did not care if it was Allison, Vanna, Jesse or even Riley. She needed to be with a woman again. This was all happening so fast and right now.

She'd only planned to do some simple kissing and maybe some touching. Right now they were already past that point and going strong. She really liked the way Claire kissed and could almost feel her mouth elsewhere on her body. She wanted that bad right now. She wanted it real bad. She pulled her top off and moved Claire's head down to her breasts. She could feel Claire unbuckle her pants. She slipped them off along with her underwear. She guided Claire's head lower. Just a little lower, almost, Almost, ALMOST and 'BAM' it was where she wanted it.

Sarah directed Claire where she wanted her to go. Things got good real fast. It was only one way right now but it was worth it. She wanted this really bad herself, real bad. Just to feel Claire respond to her was going to get her over the top. Claire really dug in. She wanted to 'make it' really bad this way. It was actually her favorite way.


Cammy directed Al and Ed to check the left side of the building further while she would check the right side with Savannah. They were on the lookout for any hidden Grays. There were drones scanning above them and around them. They looked for the smallest threat.

Savannah was off to the side and two steps behind Cammy on her left side. She did not spot any movement of any kind. Cammy stopped and she almost passed her before she realized it. She'd looked off to her left for a second at Al and Ed.

She looked at where Cammy looked. They were just about around the wall that blocked the right half of the workroom floor from their direct view.

They were notified that Richard and Michael were on their way into join them. Al replied he would wait for them on the left side. They expected Cammy or Savannah to reply but there was only silence. That could only mean one thing – contact.


John Henry processed a lot of information that was available to him. He tried to filter out what was important for Summer to look at. Somehow she seemed to be ahead of him. CamNet fed her information too.

"Cammy and Savannah have contact." Summer said.

John Henry looked at the same information as well as their body cams. He did not see anything and there was no positive hit from the drones that scanned overhead.

Summer wanted to help John Henry out.

"It's to the right of Cammy. Savannah is next to her and sees it too." Summer said.

John Henry checked again.

"What's the contact?" John Henry asked. "I don't see anything and nothing shows up on the scans. What do you see?"

"I see everything." Summer said.


Steve directed Hank and Larry to check the exterior of the building before they entered. He wanted them to make sure there was no one hiding somewhere outside. The drones hadn't detected anyone but someone opened the roll up door on the building. They were not apparent inside. They may have tried to make an escape when the shooting started. Most likely they were waiting to spring an ambush.

John Henry told him that Brian and Randy would arrive soon they were on their way in from Palmdale. Steve suggested that they acquire a couple of large box trucks. They would need them for the captured and disable HK equipment. There were at least two HK Tracks and Two HK drones to transport.

Steve and Tom searched the building and couldn't find anyone. No one was picked up by their drones or indicated that they'd left the area. Larry and Hank did not find anything outside. Once they entered the building they helped Steve and Tom pull the damaged HK drone out of the rubble of the roof. There was a loud crash as they pulled it the rest of the way into the building from the angle it was at halfway through the roof. The four of them lifted it to carry it to the back to get it ready for transport. They found the body of a Gray under the crashed HK drone. It crushed him when it crashed through the roof. It appeared that his own actions indirectly led to his own demise.

It looked like everything was under control and accounted for in that building.

Hank and Larry were dispatched to go collect the bodies of the Grays that the drones took down earlier. There were eight bodies to collect in four places.


Cammy paused as she looked around the corner of the wall. Savannah was next to her.

There was another HK Track. It was just sitting there.

Cammy did not want to make a frontal approach on it. It might be 'playing possum'. If it opened up with its minigun, it could shred the interior of the building in no time. She decided to move Savannah back. They warned Al and Ed along with Michael and Richard.

She went over the plans of the building that were sent to them earlier.

"There's another way over to that side." Cammy said. "Take this and follow me."

Cammy took out the shocker that Savannah used yesterday and handed it to her.

"I know what to do." Savannah said.

Savannah knew she would need to get up close to use it.

Cammy moved through some office space to get to the other side. It was clear the Grays used that area as their sleeping quarters.

Savannah spotted something that angered and disgusted her.

"Look." Savannah said as she pointed.

There was one make shift bed that had four pieces of rope at each corner.

They both knew what that meant. The Grays picked up a female at some point. She was tied to that spot and most likely assaulted. There was no sign of her or anyone else there. That usually meant the captive was dead and dumped somewhere.

"I'm glad we killed all of them." Savannah said.

Cammy still was not sure they had. They did receive the report of the Gray found under the rubble of the crashed HK drone in the other building. That accounted for all the Grays that they should have encountered so far.

Savannah moved to the door that opened into the area where the last HK Track was at. Cammy moved in front of her. She held a 'sticky shocker' in her hand.

"Follow me." Cammy said and opened the door. "Have your shocker ready."


Sarah could not believe it was really happening. Claire was down in front of her and she was almost there. This was a thrill to her like no other. Claire was good and knew what to do to make things happen. When they did happen, Claire did not let up. It seemed she intensified her efforts if anything. That drove her to a higher state of pleasure.

She could honestly say that was her best experience with a female ever. Now she wondered what a Metal girl would be like….

Sheila indicated to her numerous times that she knew where her room was. That was something to really think about now.


Vanna and Allison went with Mary and Laura, they did some drinking but Vanna and Allison did not. Gail-Cam and Holly-Camille were right there near them all the time. They did a quick stop by the buffet and tried a few things before they went to the sky lounge.

The girls danced with each other and did some kissing in the sky lounge. It was dark outside so all the windows acted more like mirrors at this point. Mary and Laura tried to find out more about 'Ann' and 'Peggy' but they were not in the talkative mood. It was clear they were more about action than words.

They ended up back in Mary and Laura's suite within an hour. They all knew what they wanted. There were plenty of snacks in the suite and of course 'dessert'. It was the one type of 'dessert' that burned calories and did not create them.

Maybe some of the weight loss programs touted on TV should point that out.


Sheila went off with Leticia. She didn't want her getting tied up with the other girls just yet. She wanted her available in case 'Tony' would need her. Cameron already made it clear to her that if Young Jesse blinked that she was supposed to bring Leticia to John.

They were currently in the casino.

Sheila gave some money to Leticia and watched her play.

Leticia didn't like to play alone.

"Play with me, Sue." Leticia said. "We can have fun."

Sheila planned to but she wanted to see how Leticia did on her own.

"I will." Sheila said.

Leticia thought 'Sue' was distracted. She was sure she knew about what.

"Are you worried about your sister?" Leticia asked.

That was one of the things on her mind. There were others.

"I am." Sheila said.

It was clear to everyone there that 'Stephany' was going to be with 'Tony'.

"Will you be with her when she's with Tony?" Leticia asked. "You two can double team him. I'd like to do that with one of you or even both of you. I'm in for a three way or a four way. I think we all know what to do. I'm not sure how experienced Stephany is."

Sheila hoped it didn't come to that. She really needed to work on Leticia's esteem some. While the idea of a 'submissive' sounded exciting, it really wasn't. She did not like the way others treated Leticia. She decided she was going to 'fix' Leticia if she could. That was going to take some effort after the cruise.

The next words just slipped out of Sheila's mouth.

"It will be her first time." Sheila said.

Leticia stopped and looked at Sheila.

"Really?" Leticia asked in awe. "She's never been with a male?"

It was clear to Leticia that 'Stephany' was with females.

"No." Sheila said. "She's a virgin."

Leticia could hardly even remember back when she was. She figured that 'Stephany' was probably going to be a little sore afterwards. It took a few times for it to feel nice all the time.

"I hope it is special for her." Leticia said. "I'm glad she is able to give it away herself."

Now Sheila was worried about Young Jesse. It would be better if Jesse was here instead of her. Maybe that human touch was what was needed now. Jesse would be able to tell her what to do and how to do it.

"I hope it works out for her." Sheila said.

Sheila was aware that Young Jesse may not like it.

Leticia wondered why 'Sue' was not gambling with her. She seemed a little 'off' to her. There was a twitch to her left hand every now and then.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Leticia asked.

Sheila grasped her left hand with her right hand.

"It's just a little nervous reaction I get sometimes." Sheila said.

Leticia liked to see 'Sue' strong and dominant. She could see that 'Sue' really was worried about her sister. It was time for her to step up for 'Sue'.

"I can do it for Stephany if she gets cold feet." Leticia said. "We can both be with Tony. I can show her the best ways to enjoy herself. I'll make sure Tony takes it easy on her too. I'll give him what he needs."

Sheila wanted Young Jesse to get what she came for.

"It's what she wants to do on her own." Sheila said. "Not all the girls get a choice in that."

Leticia nodded. Life was rougher in some places. Almost every female she knew was drunk, drugged or forced to do it the first time. Maybe she hung with a different crowd.

Sheila needed to stop worrying about things. Cameron was the one who was in control of everything anyway.

She regained her composure. She smiled at Leticia and gave her a quick kiss.

"We're here to have some fun." Sheila said.

That was the 'Sue' that Leticia liked to see.

"You lead and I will follow." Leticia said.

Sheila smiled.

"That's just my speed." Sheila said. "Let's go play some cards."

Leticia looked a little worried.

"I don't do so well with cards." Leticia said.

Sheila smiled again.

"I do." Sheila said. "Let's go."


Cammy opened the door soundlessly. She was glad to see the HK Track still pointed in the same direction and still inactive. She tossed the 'sticky shocker' and it hit and stuck on the back of the HK Track. It still did not move or do anything.

She rapidly approached it and waited for a pulse to pass. She went to disconnect the power supply. She was a little confused at what she found.

"The power cell is missing." Cammy said.

Savannah wondered why.

"Do you think it is being used for something else?" Savannah asked.

Cammy looked around further. She wondered what for if it was.

"I don't know." Cammy said. "Someone removed it."

Savannah wondered if that HK Track developed some kind of a 'problem'. Terminators did at times so it seemed plausible any HK equipment could as well.

"We need to 'flag' this HK Track." Savannah said. "It needs to be checked for additional problems before it is restored."

"Maybe so." Cammy said. "I hope we can find the power supply."

Cammy knew it could be used a explosive device too.

They sounded the all clear.

Randy soon arrived in the back of the building with a big duel rear axle box truck.

They collected the HK equipment from both buildings. Brian was across the street with Tom and Steve in a second box truck.

Hank and Larry reported they'd collected all the bodies.

"We need to watch our time here." Savannah said. "We don't want to overstay our welcome."

She really meant they did not want to stick around any longer and have more Grays show up or worse and have an HK drone strike directed against them. It was evident that this group of Grays possessed them.


"That turned out better than anticipated once things went south." Young Allison said.

Anna was still worried.

"They need to get out." Anna said. "We don't know what else is going to happen there."

Young Allison was all over the drone reports.

"So far nothing is showing up on the ground or in the air." Young Allison said.

Anna knew CamNet and John Henry would stay on top of it.


The Metal girls waited before they left the private box section. They checked with Jim to see where everyone else was headed on the ship. It seemed the group was scattered all over at this point.

"It looks like we need to go back to the private area." Camille-Holly said.

That was fine with Cam-Gail.

"We can check in with Jim and see what else we need to do." Cam-Gail said.

Hanna knew what she wanted to do.

"You two can do that." Hanna said. "Ally and I can hit the sheets."

Ally wondered what room they should use.

"We might need to use one of the outside suites." Ally said.

Holly doubted that.

"It looks like Vanna and Allison are going to be in Mary and Laura's suite for most of the night." Camille-Holly said.

Hanna and Ally would head for the Master Suite then. Camille-Holly and Cam-Gail could join them later when they were done with Jim in the Control Center.

When ally and Hanna exited the door from the private boxes into the hall there was a young couple passing by with a small child. They seemed to note the star on the door.

"What happens in there?" The female asked.

"Plenty." Hanna said as they moved on without further interaction.

The couple looked at each other and moved along with the child.

The Metal girls were able to make their way back to the private area without incident.


Leticia watched 'Sue' start to win and win big.

Sheila knew to use some moderation and not to overdo it.

Leticia thought 'Sue' was perfect in everything. She liked the way she'd stuck up for her and hadn't slapped her around any. She was strong and forceful and confidant. She wanted to devote herself to 'Sue'.

She liked the dress and especial the jewelry that 'Sue' gave to her. Everyone looked at her. She hoped the people noticed her nipple rings as well as her diamonds. A healthy dose of cleavage added to the people who looked and where they looked. She liked that her body was all natural unlike so many of the other females she'd encountered. She always thought that was one thing that upset the other women. She really wondered why they just couldn't be happy for her.

Leticia did not see how 'Sue' could do so well all of the time. 'Sue' set her up on any of the games she wanted to play and always handed her a handful of chips when she ran low.

Sheila kept track of Leticia. She gave her a lot of slack and a lot of chips. Leticia did not 'stray' and try and hit on anyone else. She did not try and pocket any of the chips to cash in later on, on her own.

There was a massive pile of chips in front of Sheila when Leticia returned.

Leticia handed Sheila the small handful of chips she still had left.

"Here are the chips I didn't use." Leticia said. "I think I'm done playing. I don't like losing your money. I wish I could have won some to give back to you."

Sheila knew Ally 'helped out' Mary.

She took Leticia off to the side.

"Would you like to win some on your own with a little help from me?" Sheila asked.

Leticia did not want to do anything illegal.

"Will it be cheating?" Leticia asked.

Sheila chose her wording carefully.

"I will only use my natural ability, nothing more." Sheila said. "It will be like you are playing for me. I need to rest and you can help me out."

Leticia wanted to help 'Sue' out.

"OK. Tell me what to do and how to do it." Leticia said. "I'll help you."

Sheila quickly laid out a plan. It was time for Leticia to up her game.


Sarah was very thrilled with what Claire did for her. It made her feel a little guilty that she didn't do anything for Claire. It was all a one way street.

She was naked and Claire still had her pants on.

"Let me get you there once." Sarah said. "I really want to do that."

Claire smiled and told her it was fine. She was just glad she was able to please her.

Sarah really wanted to please Claire the way she was pleased. She hadn't had her mouth on that spot with a female in years. She wanted that for herself as much as she wanted to please Claire.

She reached over and pulled down Claire's pants.

Claire sat on the couch and flared her knees out.

Sarah looked in awe. She could see why Claire was such a 'hit'.

"THAT is beautiful." Sarah said. "You are beautiful."

Sarah moved forward and gave her a kiss and quickly worked her way down to where she wanted to go. She hadn't been 'there' in a long time and this was worth the wait.

Claire was of the giving kind and quickly moved Sarah to lie on the couch and rotated around on top of her. Things really got started at that point….

The more sharing they could do would be better for everyone.
