Chapter 1420


Vigor


Savannah knew they were headed for an ambush of some type. It could be anything from TOW missile to an RPG to an EMP. They'd started out in a relaxed pursuit of the green sedan. She directed the SUV with Cameron's Metal to fall back from her SUV. She was going to take the risk. She wanted Mel and Cammy to join Richard, Michael, Hank and Larry in the other SUV but Young Allison called her and asked her not to give up all of her help.

"I'll do that for you, Allison." Savannah said. "You need to remember those same words about yourself too. I should be there with you."

"The point is taken." Young Allison said.

It was clear the girls wanted to look after each other. They were separated by necessity.

Savannah closed up on the green sedan. The drones did not indicate there was any ambush spotted.

At a scheduled reboot, Cammy came back online.

"Switch your reboots to once every two minutes." Savannah said. "Mel, I want you go into standby for thirty seconds every time just before Cammy reboots. Start now."

Cammy looked around worried. She checked for an update. There was nothing different. That didn't mean there wouldn't be soon enough.

"Nothing's changed." Cammy said.

Savannah saw they were now in a less developed area. The further they got away from the developed area the more it felt like a set up.

"I think there's an ambush in place and we are about to get jammed up in it." Savannah said. "That's my 'feeling'."

Cammy did not like the prospects going forward. They were in for some kind of trouble.

"I'll stick to the new standby schedule." Cammy said.

Cammy checked her weapons and went back into standby.

Mel rebooted five seconds later.

Savannah wanted one of them in standby in case they were hit with an EMP attack.

"Keep that same frequency of standbys and reboots." Savannah said. "I think we are going to get 'hit' soon."

Mel checked his weapons quickly.

"Affirmative." Mel said.

Savannah checked the drone overlay map. She closed up the distance on the green sedan. She checked in with John Henry.

"Make sure all the drones are clear of a moderate EMP blast." Savannah said.

"You're banking on an EMP as the first weapon." John Henry said. "It could be anything from a LAW rocket to a minigun."

Savannah already gave all of this some thought. Based on what the enemy knew, an EMP attack to start off the ambush would be to their advantage.

"I'm aware of that." Savannah said. "The report back to their base should be it was a 'Metal only' operation. This would give them a chance to deactivate the Terminators and go through their chips. They will want to do the same thing we wanted to do and find their base. Getting a hold of an intact chip or two would allow them to do that."

John Henry felt Savannah took too big of a risk.

"You're still using yourself as bait." John Henry said.

Savannah saw it a little differently. She wanted to get inside the enemies defenses herself. They would not expect a human to be in the middle of the group.

"This may be more of a 'Trojan Horse' play if it works out like I think it will." Savannah said.

Savannah knew it was all a gamble. If they could find the ambush site first they could strike the first blow. That would put the ambushers off balance. At that point the ambushers would be ambushed.


John was surprised to see Cameron was already naked when they reached the bedroom. He was a little worried what his performance level was going to be.

"You look beautiful, Cameron." John said.

Cameron smiled.

"Thank you." Cameron said. "You do too."

She began to undress him. Once his clothes were off she noticed something.

John noticed it too. Things were quite 'slack'.

"I may need a little time." John said.

Cameron wanted to help things along.

"'Little Willie' is taking a nap." Cameron said. "Maybe I can get you an espresso."

The espresso would have a little 'extra' in it. It would also take some time to work.

John was not so sure about that. It might prevent him from sleeping later. He thought about that some more. This was the last night, he didn't need to sleep. He'd have plenty of time to sleep back at the base.

"That stuff tastes like battery acid." John said. "This is the last night so let's do it. I want to make this good for you like you've made it for me."

Cameron sent Jim a message. There should be some on the way. She'd sent in an order as a precaution on her way down from the sky lounge. She liked to cover all the bases.

"There will be some here in the next few minutes. There will be hot coco and chocolate milk as well to deal with the aftertaste." Cameron said.

That was something he could look forward to.

"That sounds great." John said.

Cameron moved John onto the bed.

"Let me see if I can get you started up first." Cameron said.

John was a little worried since he hadn't showered.

Cameron was anxious to find out if anything was 'different'. She started in one time and raised her head for a second as she analyzed the results. She started back in again with a renewed vigor once she did.

John was not so sure he would need the espresso the way Cameron was going….


Young Allison decided to follow Savannah's example. She asked Steve's team to drop back. She put all the Terminators, except Steve who was driving, on a schedule so that two of the three Terminators would be in standby in each vehicle at any time. This should give them a better response if there was an EMP.

She checked the drone overlay map on the blue truck. She decided to close up on it some more. She was not going to let that prisoner get away. She hoped to terminate her herself.

If it looked like they were going to bolt and make a run for it she would call for a missile strike if the conditions warranted it. She needed to think about collateral damage and the surroundings. They may need to fall back on 'metal hail' if the drones needed to remain at high altitude and do gravity shots.


Sheila was with Leticia again after Cam-Holly left when Gail and Cam returned.

"I'm glad you're back." Leticia said. "I thought maybe you dumped me."

Sheila actually wanted to at this point. She didn't want to get 'sucked' in.

"Not yet, love." Sheila said.

Leticia shared a new passion with Sheila.

"I want to be 'good enough'." Leticia said.

Sheila really enjoyed sharing with Leticia. It was her favorite human over any of the girls in the Resistance. That included Jesse and Claire. She did like the love that Savannah offered. That was a different experience altogether.

"You're 'good enough' for me." Sheila said. "That's all that matters. This is where we are now."

Sheila wondered if anyone was 'good enough' all of the time. She doubted it. They all had 'ups and downs' including her.

After awhile Leticia was on top of Sheila. Her firm large breasts with the nipple rings were right in Sheila's face. She bent down and kissed Sheila soft, slow and delicate.

"Will you ever tell me your real name - Sue?" Leticia asked.

Sheila was not sure it mattered. A name was just a designation. It could be anything.

"When we're together does it matter?" Sheila asked. "It could be anything from 'Hey You' to 'Unit 69'."

Sheila knew she was going to have to take care of Leticia for a short while after the cruise so she could get reestablished. She really hoped that Mary and Laura would take her in. None of them would have any financial worries for awhile. CamNet would make sure of that.

Leticia was a little disappointed. Maybe 'Sue' didn't fully trust her.

"Sure, Sue, we can live in the moment." Leticia said.

When Sheila was with another female that is all she ever did. Nothing else mattered at that point.


Young Jesse led Holly-Camille into the Control Center. They saw that Camille-Holly was already there. So was Jim. They all exchanged pleasantries.

Young Jesse wanted to say a few things to Holly and Camille.

Jim could sense some tension. He was relieved to see the beverage cart was on its way up from the galley.

"Excuse me." Jim said. "I have some operational matters to attend to."

Jim left. He planned to be 'busy' until they girls in the Control Center were ready to leave. He made a quick exit.

"First off I want to thank both of you for doing the chassis swap." Young Jesse said. "It allowed Camille and me a little more flexibility and time together on the ship."

Holly felt it was a rewarding experience for everyone.

"I really enjoyed what we did." Camille-Holly said.

"I did too." Holly-Camille said.

Young Jesse wanted to keep everyone focused.

"I know you want to exchange chassis for now and maybe for good." Young Jesse said. "That is your right. I personally like Camille in her own chassis. I love her. I'm used to her looking like that. I know if I survive Judgment Day and all the things that happen after that I will grow older and I will not look like this. I don't have a choice. I know Allison was concerned about the swap as well. Please know we love you how you are and we know you are your program and the chassis is optional. The point is we love you because we love everything about you. We will never love you less for being who you are."

Holly-Camille saw the scalpel on the desk where Jim was at earlier. She reached over and picked it up and handed it to Young Jesse.

Young Jesse looked at the scalpel with some apprehension.

"I don't have a lot of experience doing this." Young Jesse said.

"We are here to help you learn." Camille-Holly said.

"We can start with my chassis." Holly-Camille said.

Camille-Holly stripped off her robe and lay on the bed naked.

"She will show you where to cut." Camille-Holly said. "Remember the sheath is tougher than it looks to cut through. You will need to push very hard."

Camille-Holly moved her hair out of the way for a clean cut.

"You're going to turn your pain receptors off, right?" Young Jesse asked.

"If you insist, I will." Camille-Holly said.

Young Jesse was aware that Terminators liked to feel pain so they 'felt alive'. She felt there were other ways to achieve the same result.

"I insist." Young Jesse said. "That's for both of you too. If you want to 'feel alive', I will be with you afterwards, you will feel pleasure instead of pain."

Holly-Camille showed Young Jesse where to start the incision. Young Jesse did not push hard enough with the scalpel at first. She got the hang of it and created the sheath flap. Holly-Camille showed her how to remove the port cover and what was necessary to remove the chip.

"I want to make the incision and have everything ready in Holly's chassis too before I remove a chip." Young Jesse said. "She can watch me make it in her chassis and tell me if I do anything wrong. I want to try it on my own."

That was exactly what Young Jesse did. She did everything like she was supposed to. She looked at both of the nude Terminators on the bed. She needed to focus on the task at hand.

She removed Camille's chip from Holly's chassis and then Holly's chip from Camille's chassis. She looked at the two chips. That was the essence of who those two individuals were. She wished she could do that with her brain and switch with Savannah and Allison the same way. It was not possible. She would love to be in their bodies the same way Metal girls could switch.

She set both chips and activated them one after the other. Both of the Metal girls rebooted at the same time almost.

Camille reached up and touched her breasts. She looked at Holly.

"I'm going to miss those." Camille said.

Holly reached over and touched Camille's cheek.

"I'm going to miss looking like you." Holly said. "You're very beautiful."

Young Jesse installed the port covers and then sutured each of the sheath flaps down.

"I want each of you to double check my work." Young Jesse said.

Camille and Holly inspected everything on each other.

"You did perfect." Camille said.

"I agree." Holly said. "Now that we're done here what was that you said about making us 'feel alive' through pleasure instead of pain?"

Young Jesse was highly aroused at this point.

"Let's go back to my suite." Young Jesse said.

The three girls left the Control center and headed for the Honeymoon Suite.

They spotted Jim exiting the Honeymoon Suite with the soiled laundry.

"Your suite is freshly made." Jim said.

"You didn't need to do that." Young Jesse said.

"It's part of my job." Jim said.

The three girls entered the suite and headed for the bedroom.

"I really hate to mess this up again." Young Jesse said.

Camille moved over and opened the bed up.

"There, it's done." Camille said. "It's ready for use."

Young Jesse had one request for Holly and Camille.

"Can I watch you two do everything first for a little while?" Young Jesse asked.

Holly and Camille looked at each other.

"Sure." They both said.

"Start out slow and make it loving at first." Young Jesse said.

Young Jesse watched Holly and Camille start to touch and then kiss. The kisses grew deeper and more intense. Soon they were elsewhere on each others sheath. First one worked on the other and then both worked on each other at the same time.

They did that until they heard Young Jesse finish as she watched them. They were very content that they were able to please her with their actions. They invited her into the middle between them at that point. Young Jesse was highly aroused when they started. With both of them working on her the finishes were multiple and frequent.

Down Under was seldom quite this good.


Cameron moved away from John. He was highly aroused at this point. She went to the door and brought the beverage cart into the room. She saw Jim look at her naked form. She whispered something to him. He nodded and left.

Jim was very surprised at what Cameron asked for. She'd asked to 'see' the sheets from the Honeymoon Suite.

Cameron spiked the espresso for John and brought that to him along with a glass of chocolate milk. John drank both of them.

"That wasn't so bad was it?" Cameron asked.

John wiped the back of his hand across his mouth.

"Nope, the chocolate milk was a nice touch at the end." John said.

Cameron put the empty cup and glass on the beverage cart. She quickly returned to John. She was aware the medicine would start to take effect in half of an hour and be at its peek in an hour.

"Now where were we?" Cameron asked.

John was sure she knew where she left off. He decided to switch it and please her.

"I was just about to start on you." John said.

Cameron went to reposition herself.

"NO, no." John said. "I want you to lay there and relax for awhile. I got this."

John kissed Cameron and worked his way down from her lips to her lips…. He wanted to allow himself some time to recharge. He did not know he received a 'little help'.

Cameron thought this was going to be a good night.


Dan and Frank left Santa Barbara earlier in the van. They were just past Ventura now. They were on their way to the port. They should be there in less than three hours. They elected to take Route 1 from Camarillo and pick up the coast at Point Mugu.

Ken and Lou would remain at Santa Barbara for another hour and then fly to the port. There was a helipad right across from the berth where the ship would dock. CamNet made arrangements for them to spend the rest of the night there. Dan and Frank would join them when they arrived.


Ally and Hanna peeked around the corner at Allison and Vanna. They heard them finish up earlier and once they'd finished themselves they decided to join them.

"I think they're asleep." Ally whispered.

Hanna looked a little disappointed.

"We got here too late." Hanna whispered.

"Maybe we can hit on Mary, Laura and Leticia." Ally whispered.

"I'd like to see Young Jesse." Hanna whispered.

"I bet she'd really like to be with you." Ally whispered.

Hanna knew she was identical to Savannah even if she appeared slightly 'older'. All the private parts were identical.

"I do look like her first love." Hanna whispered.

"Let's head out." Ally whispered.

Hanna didn't think Cameron would allow John a chance to 'head in'.

"Where are we going to?" Hanna whispered.

"We're going to wherever we can find a willing body and a warm bed." Ally whispered.

Ally and Hanna would be good with each other. They were the Metal versions of Allison and Vanna after all. It never took them long to bring that special bond back to the forefront.


Mary and Laura were physically tired out and sleepy.

Cam and Gail thought maybe they should wrap it up with the girls for the night.

After Mary and Laura each finished one more time with 'Peggy' and 'Lisa' they wished the girls 'goodnight'.

Cam and Gail could hear Sheila in with Leticia as they passed that suite.

"Let's see if we can hit on Vanna and Allison." Cam said.

"I'd like to visit Young Jesse since I'm back in my chassis." Gail said.

"Take your pick. The mental choice is 'Cameron', 'Savannah' or 'Jesse'." Cam said.

Gail came up with a better idea.

"Maybe we can do all three." Gail said.

"I like the way you think." Cam said.

Cam also really liked her sheath with those large breasts, small secret spot and that improved 'Neural Network'.

It was clear to Cam that Mrs. Weaver created a superior design with the Restorators as compared to Skynet's Terminators. Then again a machine with 'hands on' experience trumped one that was stuck in a metal box. A metal box that was waiting to be metal coffin.


John Henry was sorry to see Summer leave. He liked her insight and ability. Her mother came looking for her and she did not want any problems.

Claire and Jesse were both in Claire's room at this point. It was doubtful they would be out for the rest of the night. It was getting late.

His main concern right now was Savannah and Young Allison.

Savannah was most likely headed for an ambush and the same thing would probably happen with Young Allison. They were aware of the risk and took it anyway. They wanted to find the anti-Metal group's base of operations and deal them a fatal blow.

It seemed like things were about to come to a head.

They were pretty sure that there was going to be an EMP based attack with the green sedan. The drones were all at altitude and on wide orbits to avoid being incapacitated by the EMP.


John Henry and CamNet searched intently for where the ambush was going to be at. So far nothing clicked.

Before Summer left she told CamNet and John Henry to have the drones at high altitude ready to do a 'gravity shot' with minigun fire. She thought of it as 'metal hail'. They could also send the missiles on there way as 'gravity bombs'.

She warned them that wherever Savannah and the Terminators were they would most like advance on the enemy and to keep that in mind. There was a multi-second delay in the weapons firing and then the projectiles impacting the ground.

Once again the 'Coriolis Effect' would need to be calculated for the rotation of the earth and objects slowed to 'terminal velocity' to reach their targets.


Savannah watched the road around her. She wanted to angle the SUV into the best defensive position she could when the EMP went off. She would need to exit the vehicle and fight whoever approached it. There would most likely be a second EMP blast once it looked like the Terminators were not all down.

She doubted the EMP blast would be more that a relatively small one. That was a gamble. The second one could be bigger or smaller. If the anti-Metal group was able to get a hold of some of the EMP grenades, they could keep the Terminators down a long time.

Mel went offline a few seconds before Cammy rebooted.

Cammy noted the high stress level that Savannah was under. That was without even scanning her.

"Is there anything different yet?" Cammy asked.

"No." Savannah said.

Cammy checked her phone and com for anything new. There was nothing.

She went back into standby and Mel rebooted a few seconds later. This process was repeated over and over.

Savannah didn't want to be caught flat footed. She was unsure if an EMP would only shut a Terminator down or damage them further. There were some internal safeties. When in direct contact of an attack like a Taser, that always triggered the one hundred twenty second reboot. The goal was to try to have a Terminator in standby before one happened. They should be protected and able to quickly get back into the fight.


Summer checked her tablet, laptop and desktop computer. She was not content with walking away from the operation at this critical stage.

She was going to need to have a talk with her mother and get things straightened out as to the reality of the situation. She thought of asking Allison – Young Allison to back her up. She decided she would do it on her own. She was an 'adult' for all practical purposes even if her body was not. She did lack personal interaction with others as well. There was a great amount of respect she would need to show her mother because she was her mother. Maybe she wasn't really her mother but just the one that gave birth to her. Either way she was her mother as far as having raised and loved her.

She switched to observing maps of the terrain where the green sedan was headed. She lacked the ability to see at night. She could use geological information and satellite photos to anticipate potential ambush sites.

She communicated directly with CamNet now. She explained what she was searching for and why. She was pleased to see that CamNet sent ten more drones to back up Savannah and Young Allison than were already there.

Summer wanted to start 'recon by fire' at the various target locations. There would be a silent deadly 'metal hail' that landed on the ground and rocks. If she found the ambush site. Death would fall silently from the sky and then the impacts would begin.

Drones were direct where to go and were about to initiate the procedure. She warned again about the Resistance personnel exiting the vehicles to fight. The ambush could be both in front and in back of where the SUV was stopped at. It was doubtful anything would be simple.


Young Allison closed up on the blue truck. It appeared to be headed back into a well populated area. It was doubtful they would use anything other than an EMP grenade on them. The yield was very limited. The effect on Metal would still be devastating.

She directed several drones to move in closer. She asked for volunteers as the EMP could cause them to lose control and crash. If anyone got out of that truck she wanted them brought down with minigun fire. Those people were not going to get away.

Young Allison went over everything with Anna during her reboots.

The issue of collateral damage was raised.

Young Allison wanted the targets neutralized. She also did not want to make the same mistakes Future John made. She did not want to atone for civilian deaths due to her actions.


Cameron let John 'work' on her and enjoyed every second of it. She was able to focus on the sensations he provided her with. She did know the medicine should kick in soon.

It turned out it was sooner that she thought. Maybe John was just excited to be with her like he said.

John was upon her without warning. 'Little Willie' was 'up' to the task. It was a nice way to get things started. They soon became 'one' as they shared.


It was not long until all the Metal girls except Sheila were in the Honeymoon Suite.

Young Jesse asked to be with each one alone, one at a time. She planned to be up all night if necessary to do that.

The rest of the Metal girls headed into the spare room of the Honeymoon Suite to await their opportunity to be with Young Jesse. They decided to keep themselves busy with each other. Cam and Holly retreated back to the Master Suite to be with their lovers if they awoke. Gail spent the longest time with Young Jesse.

It was a very productive night for Young Jesse. She hoped to top it off with Allison and then Vanna. She hoped the next person she could be with after Vanna was Savannah once they got to the Resistance base.


Sheila could tell Leticia was 'different' now. She was making love to her. It was no longer just sex. She would have preferred the sex but the feelings being conveyed were able to 'reach' her.

She suddenly felt the 'need' to tell Leticia her real name was 'Sheila'. She was not sure why. She resisted and didn't do it. She didn't want to become attached to Leticia the way things were happening.

If anything she wanted to make Leticia more independent and not need to be anyone's submissive anymore. That was exciting in concept but it was degrading to the female. This was not the age where that needed to happen anymore.

Sheila blinked her eyes. She was aware something was in and on her face. It was Leticia's large firm breasts with the nipple rings.

"I thought that would get your attention." Leticia said. "You seemed 'zoned out' a little bit."

Sheila wondered how long she'd been inactive.

She wanted to move and realized that Leticia held her left hand. She went to pull it away but Leticia still held it.

"You experienced a little bit of a compulsive movement disorder." Leticia said. "It stopped when I took your hand. You're very strong."

Leticia remembered the way Sheila dealt with that 'Crazy Bitch'. She was able to move her around like a rag doll. She'd done the same thing with Tracy. She liked that 'Sue' was dominant, forceful and strong.

Sheila wondered what was happening to her. She was supposed to be the one in control. It made it easier for her to understand Cameron at times like these. That was a terrible burden for anyone to need to carry.
