Chapter 1427


E R W


Cameron promised John he could have any female he wanted with no questions asked or any problems. She wanted him to feel special and have a good time. She now fully understood the difference between sex and love. She was able to see how the girls handled things and each other. At the end of the day they all knew who they 'belonged' to. The variety made life special.

John reached over and touched Cameron's cheek.

"I'm going to hold you to your word and promise." John started and then paused. "This is who I would like to be with…."

Cameron waited.

"Yes? Who is it?" Cameron asked. "I'll bring them now."

John was ready. He really hoped that Cameron would understand.

"Thank you." John said. "This is who I would like to be with…."

Cameron wanted to know who the lucky female was. She wondered if maybe John would ask for Young Allison or Summer. No, they weren't on the ship. Now she wondered why she even thought that. John hadn't watched 'Pretty Baby' recently.

"I want to be with you, Cameron." John said. "I want you just like this in your own chassis. I want you the way I first met you and have been with you."

Cameron felt a rush of elation.

"Really?" Cameron asked.

She still scanned him. She could see he spoke the truth.

"Really." John said. "I appreciate everything that you've done for me and us on this trip."

John decided not to mention Allison, Vanna or Young Jesse.

Cameron gave John a long slow deep kiss.

"I love you, John, and you love me." Cameron said.

John kissed Cameron back the same way she'd kissed him.

"I love you, Cameron, and you love me." John said.

Cameron was very pleased she'd provided John with seven virgin chassis with her in control for their first experience with a male. She was pleased he was with the three human females. She was even more pleased with all of that, that he still chose her just the way she was.

Maybe she wasn't a 'walking pile of junk' or 'scrap metal' after all.

They were both very content right now.


Young Allison recalled all her troops. They were up against a fortified base. The anti-Metal faction was here in force and they were known for having and using EMP weapons.

They needed to pull back for now as she was the only non Terminator there. A few EMP blasts could knock out her entire force.

She would not abandon them if that happened. The Terminators agreed to pull back to protect Young Allison because she would stay to protect them. They didn't want to be responsible for her termination even if they were terminated.


Savannah was convinced they'd been deceived. The location she was at was nothing but another big booby trap. It was not the anti-Metal base. It was a 'set up'.

Cammy and Savannah were on the outskirts of the 'base'.

"I need to go to where Young Allison is at." Savannah said. "That's the real threat.

Cammy didn't want her to go alone.

"I will accompany you." Cammy said.

Savannah knew it would be risky for Cammy and every Terminator.

"I can't allow that." Savannah said.

Cammy didn't give up easily.

"I can go with you most of the way there." Cammy said.

Savannah knew it was nice to have help sometimes.

"I don't know, Cammy." Savannah said. "We need the Blackhawk to come and get me. It will save some time."

Cammy saw her chance.

"We can get there quicker on top of a drone." Cammy said.

Savannah frowned. She knew that was true too. It was a dangerous method. It was a way for Cammy to go with her by necessity for her enhanced safety.

"So you can go along and get to hold me on." Savannah said. "I've done that before."

Cammy contacted CamNet and made the arrangements.

Savannah looked at Cammy, Richard and Michael.

"We need to finish here first." Savannah said. "I want you three to go into standby and all the drones that still have ordnance to dump it on this place."

Everything was put into play the attack would commence in thirty seconds.

Richard made out two sentries.

"What about the two guards?" Richard asked.

Savannah was tired of playing around.

"Pop both of them now." Savannah said.

There were two suppressed rounds fired almost instantly.

"Two down." Michael said.

Cammy, Richard and Michael all went into standby.

The area was attacked by the drones from altitude. There were several explosions and one large EMP blast. Then there was nothing.

Savannah looked over the area of decimation. She was ready to clear out.

She spoke with Young Allison again and directly with CamNet. The anti-Metal group was cornered right now. They were going to hit them hard.

Cammy rebooted.

Savannah gave her a brief account of what happened.

Richard and Michael rebooted thirty seconds later.

Savannah wanted to bring them with Cammy and her.

They asked to stay in the general area where they were and see if anything else turned up later on. They were Cameron's Terminators and she didn't know if CamNet directed them to stay or not. If there were any anti-Metal stragglers who showed up or crawled out of the wreckage, they could deal with them. After all that happen tonight she didn't care how they were dealt with.

They could hear a drone approach where they were.

'Coltan Overcast' landed.

Savannah walked over and lovingly touched it. This drone was there for her numerous times, even at great peril to itself. That was something to think about.

"I guess I get to be the meat in a Metal sandwich." Savannah said.

Cammy walked over and smiled.

"You usually are on top." Cammy said. "I get to be this time."

Savannah walked over and touched Richard and Michael each on the cheek and thanked them for assisting her and all their help. They were visibly pleased with her interaction.

'Coltan Overcast' experienced the same things that Richard and Michael did but it did not show. It was still there though.

"Do you want me to ride on my back so I can face you?" Savannah asked jokingly.

Cammy tilted her head slightly.

"Yes." Cammy said. "We can kiss on the way there."

Savannah did not want Cammy to get her hopes up. She actually wanted to look around. She also didn't want to disrespect 'Coltan Overcast'. She briefly wondered if they could put 'Coltan Overcast's' chip in Cammy's second port. That would be a way for her to share with 'Coltan Overcast' in a physical sense. They could probably hook up a tether too like Cameron did with all the Metal girl's chassis. She could make love to Cammy's chassis with 'Coltan Overcast' in control. She was not sure how that would play out. 'Coltan Overcast' might be overly 'aggressive' without trying to be since there was no experience in a Terminator chassis. Maybe it would be safer to just download a file of her with Cammy to 'Coltan Overcast'. She needed to refocus.

"I was just kidding." Savannah said. "I want to hold on and see where we are going."

Cammy was a little disappointed.

Savannah climbed on top of 'Coltan Overcast' and Cammy climbed on top of her to hold her in place. She waved 'bye' to Richard and Michael and 'Coltan Overcast' lifted off. It looked to her as if two more drones landed near Richard and Michael. Maybe that was their way out when they were done. CamNet may need them for some other function. She would be very surprised later on to learn what that function was.

The flight was much cooler than she'd anticipated. It was actually cold. They were only a few hours away from sunrise at this point. Cammy increased her 'temperature' to help warm her. With two power cells she could generate a lot of heat.

The flight was not that long.

Cammy spoke into her ear after ten minutes.

"We will have an escort soon." Cammy said.

Savannah was not sure what that meant but soon she spotted 'Cherry Bomb' slide into formation next to them. It was fully armed. She was relieved to see that Young Allison was not on it.

They dropped down low for the last few miles and landed next to the Blackhawk.

Savannah was surprised to see all of the Terminators there. They'd been ordered to pull out by Young Allison. She looked around and saw that Young Allison and Anna were not present. That wasn't a good sign.


John Henry could see that CamNet was going to go around him and carry out a strike against the anti-Metal group with a 'maximum effort' response.

It surprised him some that Summer was the one who pushed it with Young Allison and CamNet. She wanted a decisive blow to eliminate the sworn enemy of Cameron and by extension all 'Metal Lovers'.

He really wondered what other weapons CamNet would produce. He was sure at this point that CamNet already acquired a 'temporal stockpile' of decommissioned weapons of all types. He figured that Cameron or her Terminators ran time missions to collect what Cameron wanted. CamNet may have done this on her own too. It also may have been done at the 'request' of Young Allison or a 'suggestion' by Summer. He realized Summer told CamNet to send Terminators back in time right now to acquire anything she wanted and it would be available at this moment in some secure location. It was an innovative new approach. It actually opened a whole new dimension in operations but increased the risk of contaminating the timeline and creating new ones. It would need to be used judiciously.

He detected that CamNet ran the TDE at Cameron's base. He was sure that a group of Terminators were sent into the recent past or the near future to run temporal mission from that time period to avoid his detection. He knew she did that to prevent him from asking Savannah to have CamNet 'check' herself. CamNet could often exert Skynet type tendencies. Maybe it was just Cameron's irrational responses or actions showing. Cameron's program was the base program for CamNet. That was a decision that he often questioned.

A soft hand gently touched his cheek.

"Don't worry about it." Summer said. "Everything's under control."

He was a little startled by the encounter.

There was a stern look on Summer's face. He was sure she 'read' his thoughts. Maybe CamNet did and asked her to 'act'.

John Henry knew that Cameron feared John being assassinated because he was with her. He didn't know she'd initiated steps to try and get the human females closer to him. She didn't want John to be seen as a 'Metal Lover' both figuratively and literally.

Summer thought it would be best if the Resistance forces gave the anti-Metal base a ten mile safety zone. She discussed the nature of the attack that she'd selected for Young Allison's and Savannah's approval. CamNet was able to 'come up' with any weapon she requested or inquired about. She wondered how much history was being changed by theses procurements that must be happening in the past. It would seem the same to them now since it already would have happened.


John worked on Cameron. He was a little tired but he was determined to stay with it until they needed to disembark.

Once Cameron determined John wasn't going to sleep she suggested a cup of warm espresso. He could follow it up with a nice warn cup of hot chocolate. He thought that was a good idea to keep him going. He did not know Cameron added a little 'help' to his drink that would keep him going.

Right now everything he shared with Cameron were loving touches and loving kisses. He also stimulated her elsewhere in every way he knew how.

Cameron was really thrilled that John chose her. He could've been with anyone and he chose her. That choice and decision made her feel good about herself for a change. She was even more pleased he shared with the human girls. She was not going to be responsible for his assassination.

She didn't know that his true mates, Savannah and Young Allison, plotted at this very moment to eradicate the anti-Metal faction that was in this timeline with 'extreme prejudice'. The 'Natural Order' would not be disrupted. She needed to remind herself she was part of the 'Natural Order' as determined by her future. Savannah and Young Allison were both adamant that she not forget that fact. They both saw it all as a package deal.

They were drawn to her and she would provide them to John. Somehow it would all work out in the end. Everything eventually seemed to do just that.


Once the scope of what Young Allison's team found out was determined, it was deemed unsafe for a conventional Terminator assault.

The Terminators would be susceptible to EMP attacks.

It would take a substantial force of conventional troops to attack and bring down the installation.

The Resistance did not possess such a force.

Young Allison ordered the Terminators away back out of the range of any EMP weapons. They did not want to leave her. She agreed to let Anna stay with her.

Anna insisted on it herself. She reassured Young Allison her program was copied and that CamNet indicated there could be a spare female chassis provided for her to be rebodied if necessary.

She sent an 'eyes only' communication to CamNet. Surprisingly enough she requested the same young teenage appearance. She took it one step further and ask for a one year younger appearance so that Young Allison would be 'bigger' than her up top. Sacrifice really was the true test of love.

So far Young Allison and Anna already identified two LP locations and were looking for a third.

"This is unnecessary if we follow CamNet's plan." Anna whispered.

Young Allison knew it was more than CamNet's plan. She was aware that Summer made the calculations first before she presented it to CamNet to inform John Henry. CamNet said she could procure the weapons necessary.

She was not really sure what that meant. It would seem either CamNet already possessed them. Maybe she was after current military hardware.

Anna felt they'd seen enough to justify a missile strike of some sort. That should disrupt the anti-Metal groups operations significantly and terminate many of them. She was aware that Young Allison wanted all of them terminated. That meant the bunker system in the mine would need to be brought down. There was really only one sure way to accomplish that. That method may have been OK to use in the middle of the Nevada desert. This wasn't the Nevada desert.

It seemed that the each LP checked in every fifteen to twenty minutes on a random schedule. There was a rotating call sign in use. It was much like the system the Resistance used.

Both 'Coltan Overcast' and 'Cherry Bomb' sat on the ground on either side of the Blackhawk. They were ready to go in and extract Young Allison and Anna if they needed evacuation.

Savannah contacted Young Allison as soon as she was on the ground with Cammy. She was very concerned about her.

"Why are you still there?" Savannah asked.

Young Allison hoped to find another way into the complex other than the front door. She thought one of the LP locations might offer that.

"I'm looking for a way in." Young Allison said.

Savannah knew what that meant.

"NO!" Savannah said. "We will blast our way in from the front or use a bunker buster weapon from the top. You need to withdraw now."

Young Allison asked to have all such weapons ready. She also requested a 'Back Pack nuke'. That was to be taken inside by someone from the Resistance team on foot. She would like an ERW if possible. That was the dreaded Neutron Bomb. She called it an N-Bomb. That fit in with an H-Bomb and a C-Bomb.

"We have one more spot to check." Young Allison said.

Savannah knew Young Allison's determination. She was there to play 'hardball' and kill everyone there. That was very 'Cameron' of her to what to do that.

"I'm coming there." Savannah said.

That worried Young Allison.

"Are you coming by yourself?" Young Allison asked.

Savannah saw no need to endanger anyone else.

"Yes." Savannah said. "That will allow Anna to withdraw.'"

That would leave Young Allison and her there alone.

Savannah hoped this prompted Young Allison to wrap it up.

"Someone's coming." Young Allison whispered.


Young Allison spoke in hushed tones with Savannah.

Anna touched her arm and pointed behind them. There was a five man patrol out.

"Someone's coming." Young Allison whispered.

Young Allison ended the conversation.

She wore her night vision. She saw Anna draw her silenced M9. She realized she was already holding hers. It seemed to be a natural extension of herself at this point.

Anna and Young Allison remained hidden behind a big rock.

The patrol passed by them.

"Let's follow them." Young Allison said.

Anna was about to tell Young Allison that was a bad idea. Before she could say that, Young Allison was on the move after the patrol. She wanted to see where they went. They may lead her to another entrance.


Savannah didn't like the abrupt end of the conversation and why it needed to end suddenly. At first she wondered if Young Allison 'blew her off'. If it was the enemy, that would be worse. It seemed like more trouble.

Savannah looked at Steve and Tom.

"Great." Savannah said. "There are patrols out as well as LPs. Did you make sure you weren't followed?"

Steve checked to make sure himself as did every other Terminator. Once the two teams rejoined they set out an ambush in case anyone did follow them. No one did.

"We checked." Steve said. "We were not followed or detected. We took precautions."

Savannah wanted to see whatever information they'd come up with on the bunker location. The fact it was built inside an old mine bothered her. That was one place she wanted to stay out of. She'd been in several of the former missile sites and they all contained an escape route that was built into them.

"There is usually an escape route in installations like that." Savannah said. "Are there any plans or blueprints yet?"

CamNet was able to provide some information on the original layout. The complex was never finished before it was abandoned and sealed closed.

Savannah went over everything they could provide her with. She did not want to go in the front door. She really thought it would be better if they could find an easier way into the complex.

She tried to think of a way to do that. She didn't know that Summer already formulated a plan to facilitate everything.


Young Allison followed the patrol. She watched them check on the last LP that they'd identified. She figured they'd already been by the first one since that was the way they came from. She now hoped they would lead her to a third one.

She was aware that normally security operations like this grew lax over time. It was the same thing every day and night week after week and nothing ever happened. The fact they sent out two major ambush teams should mean the people left were on heightened alert. That was not good for the Resistance. That was especially not good for her.


Summer listened to Savannah's request for any plans to the bunker and mine complex. Savannah wanted to find the escape route. It should be an easier way to get in than the fortified front door.

She watched John Henry search for the files. There needed to be a better way to do this. There needed to be a sure way to do this.

Summer made some calculations and then she silently contacted CamNet. It was time to use some of their assets to their fullest. That was what she excelled at.

She knew the rules. You either play to win or you don't play at all. She just sent CamNet a winning move.


John Henry couldn't find all the plans for the top secret bunker that was never finished.

He detected CamNet ran her TDE again.

He glanced over at Summer and she winked at him. He was sure she'd asked CamNet to do something.

He figured she was ten moves ahead of him at this point.


Summer sent a specific GPS location to Savannah to have her team 'check'.

Savannah was surprised to receive that directly from Summer.

She passed the information on to Steve and he left with a team of Metal. She was about to leave to go after Young Allison. She'd already told Cammy she needed to stay behind.

"Please let me go with you." Cammy said.

Savannah touched Cammy's cheek.

"Not this time." Savannah said. "I don't want you damaged or taken prisoner."

They both knew what was done to captured female Metal in the future. They were reprogrammed to be a 'Metal Whore'.

Cammy was willing to take the chance.

"I still want to go with you." Cammy said.

Steve returned back to the Blackhawk. He'd only been gone for less than two minutes.

"Savannah, you'd better take a look at this." Steve said.

He turned around to leave.

"What is it?" Savannah asked.

He took an entrenching shovel out of the Blackhawk.

"We just got a break." Steve said. "It's a big one."

Cammy received an update from CamNet.

"There are several drones on the way with a special 'package' on each of them." Cammy said.

Savannah soon heard several drones approach at low altitude.

She was sure at this point there was a lot of 'temporal management' being used. She hoped it didn't lead to 'temporal malpractice'.


Jim looked over at Vanna and Allison.

Vanna and Allison followed the operation where Savannah and Young Allison were both at now.

"I'm glad the other operation finished up." Allison said.

Vanna frowned some.

"I thought Savannah was finished for the night." Vanna said. "I thought wrong."

Allison checked to see what Richard and Michael were up to since they'd been left behind. She could not find their body cams.

"Jim, what happened to the two Terminators that stayed behind where Savannah and Cammy were?" Allison asked.

Jim checked.

"CamNet has recalled them." Jim said. "They actually work for Cameron and CamNet. There are two drones that were left in place to search for stragglers or survivors."

Allison was not sure how CamNet operated. She didn't worry about it anymore. She was worried about Vanna. She didn't want Vanna to stress out on this anymore.

"Why don't you go to Young Jesse?" Allison asked. "She asked to see you. She asked more than once."

Vanna would feel guilty being with Savannah's first love while she was out in the field with an uncertain outcome.

"I need to wait until Savannah and Young Allison finish the operation." Vanna said.

Allison nodded.

She was worried about all of them too.


Cameron was very pleased with all of the attention John bestowed on her. It was a loving and sharing time. Most of it was spent kissing.

John drank his espresso and hoped he would feel like a new man soon. He was glad he could wash it down with the hot chocolate.

Cameron planned to be with John several more times before sunrise. She decided that they would take a whirlpool bubble bath at some point. She really wanted John to have one last special treat on the ship.

She wanted Sheila to bring Leticia to their room. When they were finished with the bubble bath and returned to the bedroom, John would be in a high state of arousal. She would make sure of that. She would smile at him and give him a kiss and closed the bedroom door on her way out. Leticia would be there to welcome him with open arms and open legs.

It would be the icing on the cake for John and the trip.

Cameron smiled. John deserved the best!


Savannah and Cammy followed Steve to a rocky outcropping.

There was a layer of dirt over a portion of it. It looked like the dirt from above it on the hillside washed down over it.

Steve worked with the entrenching tool for a minute.

Cammy scanned the area with several different vision spectrums.

"There is an opening of some kind." Cammy said. "It may be large. I don't know why."

Savannah figured it was the escape route from the bunker system.

"It may be what we thought. It may be the escape route." Savannah said.

Canny indicated the dimensions of the opening.

"It's larger than I would expect for an escape route." Savannah said. "How is it right where we are at, at this moment in time?"

That did seem rather 'convenient' to Savannah.

"I don't know." Cammy said. "Maybe this is something else."

It was something else all right. It was a worry to Savannah. The unknown was always a threat. They possessed a few 'tool' for threats. It was time to use them.

"I want everyone but Steve and Cammy away from here and be ready to go into standby on rotating restarts." Savannah said. "Please bring me the M249."

Cammy moved up to assist Steve. The other Terminators dispersed. Tom brought her an M249 and an M32A1. He also handed her a satchel charge.

Savannah nodded and arranged everything behind two rocks with a 'V' shaped opening between them.

They all understood the precaution.

The anti-Metal group could have the opening booby trapped or be waiting with a force to break out and attack them. The first thing out would most likely be an EMP grenade.

She should be able to drive them back with the M249 and the M32A1. The satchel charge would need to follow the initial barrage before they regrouped. It should blow the opening closed.

She tried to reach Young Allison or Anna again to recall them. There was no answer.


Young Allison identified the third LP.

Anna made note of the GPS coordinates were each LP was located. She also indicated the best line of approach for a missile to hit each position.

Young Allison would have liked to have possessed some Claymore mines to leave at each position. They didn't have any. It would have been a real friendly way to say 'hello'.

They heard Savannah recall them and were about to respond when the patrol moved back in their direction. They were behind a fallen tree and the patrol was headed straight for them.

Anna indicated the two men on the left side of them for Young Allison to 'take'. She would concentrate on the three on their right side.

They both picked a target and planned the follow up shots.

Their fingers each moved onto the trigger of their silenced M9.


Savannah could watch Steve and Cammy as they worked. They soon stopped. They'd uncovered a large door. It seemed big enough to drive a small truck through.

"We're ready to open it." Cammy said.

Savannah wondered how it opened.

"Is there some device or a control panel?" Savannah asked. "One of you needs to leave and go into standby."

Steve and Cammy looked over the closed opening.

"It looks like it can only be opened from the inside." Steve said. "We will need to blow it open."

Savannah did not want to do that. That would surely alert the anti-Metal group.

"Is there any other way?" Savannah asked.

"We would need tools." Steve said. "That will make noise too."

Cammy received a new transmission from CamNet.

"I have a code." Cammy said.

Steve looked at the 'door'.

"Where do you use it?" Steve asked. "There's no interface."

"It's about as old school as it gets." Cammy said. "Savannah, get ready to open up if necessary. I don't know what's inside. Steve, go into standby. I've got this."

Steve moved in back of Savannah.

"As soon as I hear the door start to move I will go into standby for thirty seconds." Steve said. "There will be a Terminator that comes out of standby every thirty seconds after that."

Tom was nearby.

"I will be the next one to reactivate." Tom said.

Savannah removed her night vision. She didn't want the bright flash of the EMP intensified.

"I'm ready." Savannah said. "Do it."

Cammy moved up to the 'door' with the entrenching tool and knocked out a code that rang through the metal.

'Clang' pause 'Clang' pause 'Clang-Clang-Clang'.

They waited fifteen seconds.

'Clang' pause 'Clang' pause 'Clang-Clang-Clang'.

'What the Hell?' Savannah thought.

There was a screech of metal. The Terminators went into standby.

Cammy went behind the closest boulder with her M4 held ready as she went into standby.

The Metal screeched louder and the 'door' opened with a heavy thud.

Savannah pulled the M249 into her shoulder and her finger tightened on the trigger.

"Don't shoot, Savannah." A voice said. "I'm coming out."

Savannah recognized that voice. She'd just heard it a short time ago.

'What the Hell?' Savannah thought again.
