The arcing and flashing started.

The arcing and flashing ended.

Cameron stood and looked around.

She was where she wanted to be.

'In Some Future Cam' was there waiting for her. Cameron picked a prearranged time to appear. The temporal beacon worked to get her there.

"You're right on schedule." Cam said.

Cameron was pleased with that.

"I'm glad I made it." Cameron said. "Fill me in."

Cam handed Cameron some clothes so she could dress. Cameron handed them back. She wanted to remain naked. She couldn't help but look at Cameron's naked beauty even though it was the same as hers. Somehow Cameron was more beautiful. She began to update Cameron on what happened in the last few months.

She explained how Mrs. Weaver hadn't allowed a power source to be constructed for the TDE. Mrs. Weaver said they needed to focus all resources on rebuilding the Resistance living standards. It was a good excuse but Cameron knew it was so none of them would try to leave without Mrs. Weaver.

Mrs. Weaver was content for now with what she'd obtained and what she still wanted. She was given the power and control she craved. She felt the admiration of a grateful population. She was with her 'daughter' and 'granddaughter' and no one was going to take that from her.

Cameron knew there was some good in all of that. It also kept Mrs. Weaver here in this timeline. If she wasn't in the past or in her future she didn't have a problem with that. If Mrs. Weaver wanted a kingdom, that was what she possessed now. The 'subjects' were loyal and she was the 'Queen'. It took effort and work to make all of that happen and keep it together.

It'd been three months since Cameron and Savannah left. Hope was doing fine and the situation was stable. All three girls were pregnant at one point. Duplicate Jesse and Duplicate Vanna again suffered the loss of the pregnancy terminating twice. Duplicate Allison was currently pregnant and stable.

Cam brought a tether cable with her. She was to transfer the files of Hope to Cameron and nothing else. Her personal experiences with the girls were to remain hers alone.

The relationship between Duplicate Vanna and Duplicate Allison grew stronger than ever with the baby. It was a challenge for the both of them. Cammy was now 'Cameron-Commander Connor' in that future most of the time. She helped out Mrs. Weaver and the girls. Cam filled in as necessary.

Cam now spent most of her time with Duplicate Allison to monitor her and help her with everything. She controlled her diet even more and double checked all the food she consumed. They were able to shield Savannah from most of the pollutants and toxins of the future when she was there. They did the same for the other girls.

Mrs. Weaver approached Cameron-Cammy and told her of her desire to be with one of them. Cameron-Cammy told her to be herself and not try to be what she wasn't. With Cam busy with Duplicate Allison, Duplicate Jesse and Mrs. Weaver developed a closer relationship. Cameron-Cammy made Mrs. Weaver promise not to terminate Duplicate Jesse when the inevitable arguments of all relationships developed.

Cam was unaware of how far the relationship may have 'progressed' but Duplicate Jesse no longer sought her out to share with as much. This gave her more time to be with Duplicate Allison for 'everything' and Cameron-Cammy and Duplicate Vanna to have more alone time together.

Previously Bob retrieved the chip from Cameron II's shattered skull and gave it to Duplicate Allison. Duplicate Allison mourned the loss of Cameron II and refused offers to have her rebodied. Ginger and Sandy both offered their chassis for Cameron II's chip at that time. They instead combined the information from Cameron II with Cammy and Cam. It was something they'd all agreed on before. Ginger and Sandy again both offered their chassis for Cameron II to Duplicate Allison to assist her with the pregnancy and baby. Duplicate Allison would have to see if she kept the baby first.

Cameron wanted to make sure Young Jesse would be safe and protected if she came into this future. Cam assured her Young Jesse would receive the same treatment Savannah received and Duplicate Allison received. Young Jesse was to stop nursing as soon as the other girls could take over for her. She said Young Jesse would be there for one year so her body could 'recover' before she returned. Young Jesse didn't want her parents to know she'd been pregnant, given birth and left the baby with Duplicate Jesse.

Ginger arrived at the TDE room. She was very pleased to see Cameron. She was even more pleased to see Cameron naked. She really wished she could look like that. She and Cameron shared a long embrace and some tears. Cameron always thought of what Ginger did for her with no guarantee Ginger would ever be 'restored'.

Cameron thought about Ginger and Sandy. They were always willing to do anything for her. They currently didn't have full time human lovers even if they had each other. Their sheaths were unique to the future they were in. Maybe that was the ticket that she could use for a chassis swap. Camille and Cammy needed to each borrow a chassis and so did Hanna.

It wasn't a coincidence that Ginger was to report to the TDE room at this specific time.

Cameron wanted Ginger or Sandy to return with her so Camille could swap chips with one of them. She explained to Ginger that their chassis would be involved in 'sexual relations' with Young Jesse if she or Sandy swapped. Ginger said she would volunteer if her chip would be activated in Camille's chassis. Ginger would gladly swap if she could be 'Cameron', a Cameron clone anyway, even if for only a short while.

It neared the time for the energy bubble to appear.

Cameron never left the TDE room. She remained naked the entire time. That was what made up Ginger's mind for her to swap, if she could look like that. She'd made no effort to clothe herself for that very reason. She wanted one of them to come back and swap chassis so she decided to use all her assets. She was the bait.

Ginger stripped off her clothes and neatly folded them. Cam took in the two naked figures. Ginger looked Hot with her plump breasts. Both of her breasts were now perfect again with their very pink nipples.

Cam thought those plump breasts with those super pink nipples would be nice to have, at least for a short time. More than likely the 'rest of her' that was neatly tucked away was just as colorful as it was on Vanna. Maybe she would do a chassis swap with Ginger herself going forward. She saw how much Ginger wanted to be 'Cameron'. Well, she could offer Ginger that same chassis and sheath. That was something to think about going forward. She could switch with Sandy too for a few months. She was sure the girls would be open to it.

The arcing and flashing started.

The energy bubble appeared

Ginger and Cameron stepped into it.

The bubble disappeared and they were – gone.

The arcing and flashing ended.

Cam waited. There should be three returning very soon.

Cameron's Base - Current Timeline:

The arcing and flashing started.

The energy bubble appeared

Cameron and Ginger were on the TDE pad.

The arcing and flashing ended.

Sheila and Ally again armed themselves for the arrival. They never knew what would return. They were ready if anything went wrong. Cameron was gone for only a few minutes again. They'd expected two to return. They were both pleased to see Ginger. She was hot. Cameron told them before she left that another female Terminator would return with her. Cameron gave them a description of both Sandy and Ginger. They were pleased at what they saw.

Cameron dressed in her own clothes and Ginger was given the dress they kept for River.

Ginger slipped it on. It was incredibly tight around her bust line. That only seemed to make her breasts look even larger. It was the first time she'd ever worn a dress. Ginger was about to experience a lot of 'first times' in this timeline.

Cameron hinted there were many things that could happen.

"Do you mean with other machines or with human females?" Ginger asked.

Cameron figured that all depended on how long Ginger was here.

"Time will tell." Cameron said.

Ginger liked a beautiful machine but she wanted to be with human females. She wanted to know more how she was supposed to respond and act. Her sheath offered her many different sensations that she didn't always know how to 'follow'.

Cameron didn't know what would happen based on the time involved. Maybe they could make some modifications to the time transfer schedule. She really appreciated what Ginger was willing to do to assist her and Young Jesse. She wanted to accommodate some of her desires to show her appreciation.

Now Cameron needed to get all the players on the field and in motion. The TDE was powered down for now. Both Ally and Sheila agreed to show Ginger around. Cameron told them not to get carried away with 'anything'. Ginger was HER guest and they'd better not forget it. If they did, Ginger would have two 'chip-less' chassis to choose from….

Ally and Sheila understood the threat and remembered what happened to Isabel, both of them. They knew Cameron deactivated both of them. She'd also sent Metal Summer away.

Cameron would forego her temporal mission into River's future at this point. The three females Cameron needed to use that were 'available' were already were assigned a mission to carry out. Jesse was needed 'in some future'. Savannah and Claire were needed in her future.

There were still a lot of things that could go wrong. All of them bothered her.

Cameron would go over everything with them including her temporal trepidations and the all the risks, including a temporal error or even termination.

She knew this was risky business no matter how you cut it. The improved TDE seemed not only to function better, faster and with reduced trauma to humans but it appeared safer as well. That was a big plus.

If something went wrong she could always seek out River's assistance and they could run a temporal mission to prevent the temporal mission that experienced a problem. There was also the risk they might create additional timelines by doing that.

Cameron wanted to get started. She checked and saw that Young Jesse was at the Resistance base with Camille. She told them she was on her way and if they wanted any last minute hook ups to get them out of the way. The temporal mission was on.

Young Jesse felt a little trepidation at the thought of going into the future. She sought out Savannah. She'd been on her way to see her any way. Savannah previously told her about what the future was like and its hardships. She needed some reassurance.

Camille left Young Jesse at Savannah's door after a kiss. She knocked and entered. Cammy exited the room a few seconds later.

"I think they will be busy for a little bit." Camille said.

Cammy smiled. She understood the offer. She liked being with Cam or even Ally. She liked being with 'herself'. That also included Allison whenever she was in Palmdale. She'd be 'Cameron' anytime Allison wanted it.

"We can use Sheila's room." Cammy said. "She has 'sex toys' there too if you want to try some or have them used on you."

Camille thought it merited a look.

"Let's check it out." Camille said.

Young Jesse knocked and entered Savannah's room. She knew there wasn't a lot of time. Cameron indicated everything was ready to go. She was on her way over to pick them up.

Cammy gave Savannah a kiss and walked right by her. She looked exactly like Camille who she'd just left in the hall after she gave her a kiss. They even acted and responded the same. Then again, they both ran 'Cameron's program'.

Savannah came up to her and hugged her.

"It's a go." Young Jesse said. "I'm headed for the future."

Savannah held her tighter. The future was dangerous.

"It's a very noble gesture, Jesse." Savannah said.

Young Jesse could feel Savannah stiffen some. She knew it was over her daughter Hope that she'd given to Duplicate Vanna – to herself really. She was about to do the same thing.

"I'm sorry for what you feel." Young Jesse said.

Savannah straightened and smiled. She didn't want Young Jesse to feel the same way.

"It's fine." Savannah said. "Everything worked out fine."

Young Jesse was worried it wouldn't work out fine.

"I don't know how I will do there." Young Jesse said. "I know things can go wrong."

Savannah didn't think Young Jesse needed to worry too much.

"My mother and Cameron will watch over you." Savannah said. "They are both invincible. Camille will be there along with the Duplicate girls. Cam and Cammy from that future are there. There are two other Hot Metal girls, Ginger and Sandy, who will be there for you as well."

Savannah went over everything before with Young Jesse. She wasn't sure what Young Jesse was after right now. Maybe it was the apprehension of actually doing it. There were things that could go wrong no matter what. She would need to go through the pregnancy and have the baby. She would also need to leave it behind with Duplicate Jesse – herself.

"I'm just a little on edge." Young Jesse said.

Savannah took Young Jesse in her arms.

"I'll still be here when you return." Savannah said. "We will really be the same then. I'll be off soon enough."

Savannah kissed Young Jesse. The kiss was returned with love and passion. The girls quickly stripped and pleasured each other. It needed to be a quickie. It was but they both delivered. Any finish was a good finish, even if some of them were better.

The girls went to the shower.

Savannah turned on the water. She left it on the hot side.

"This is what I missed the most." Savannah said. "It was being able to take a hot shower for as long as you want."

Young Jesse remembered Savannah told her that before.

"This will be a good time then to help me remember a hot shower." Young Jesse said.

The girls shred a slow long loving kiss as the hot water cascaded over them.

They finished up and dried each other off. They playfully dressed each other.

It was time to go.

Camille returned to Savannah's room with Cammy. They'd knocked off half a dozen finished and used a few of Sheila's 'sex toys'.

Cameron found Young Jesse with Camille. They were all in Savannah's room. She went over everything again with Young Jesse. Camille agreed to switch chips with Ginger if Young Jesse agreed.

Young Jesse loved Camille the way she was but there were other issues in play here now. She wanted to make sure she understood everything.

"So it will still be you but you'll just look different." Young Jesse said. "It will be your same program in a different chassis."

Camille didn't see it as a big deal. She was her program. The prospect of a different sheath for a year intrigued her greatly. She figured Young Jesse would want to know what she would look like for the next year.

"Yes. I'm my program. It will still be my program. Only my sheath and chassis will be different." Camille said.

Young Jesse already knew that. She just wanted to know if anything else would be different.

"That's all I wanted to know." Young Jesse said.

Cameron was worried that maybe Young Jesse would want a different chassis for Camille. She thought Ginger was beautiful. Maybe Young Jesse wouldn't. She was aware that humans could find 'beauty' when they wasn't any some cases. They could also fail to recognize it in other cases.

"Do you wish to see Ginger first?" Cameron asked.

Young Jesse didn't think the chassis or sheath should matter. She loved the 'person' inside of the chassis.

"No. I love Camille and if her program is her, then that is what I love." Young Jesse said. "I don't need to see anything else."

Camille gave Young Jesse a hug.

Cameron was very pleased to hear this. Finally, someone understood. It was the program, not the sheath. It made her angry at John again to remember how she was rejected as Isabel and Metal Summer.

They all left the Resistance base and went to Cameron's base.

Young Jesse was more than pleased at how Ginger looked. She thought she was a knockout. Savannah previously told her how pretty Ginger was. The red hair made her think of Savannah.

Camille and Ginger switched chips. Both were pleased with their new appearance. Camille liked her plump breasts with the pink nipples. Ginger liked to look like 'Cameron'. Ginger–Camille was even more pleased that Young Jesse liked the way she looked. She was going to be in this chassis and sheath for a year.

Cameron, Ginger–Camille and Young Jesse stripped and stood on the TDE pad.

Young Jesse was even more pleased at the way Camille looked now that she could see all of Ginger–Camille. It appeared she was in for an interesting year.

Sheila concentrated on Young Jesse. She decided she would 'flash' Young Jesse when she got back and give her a set of nipple rings. She knew no 'Jesse' was complete without them. She would offer to put them on for Young Jesse.

Cameron noted Ally and Camille–Ginger talking. She looked at Camille–Ginger and she nodded. She told Sheila she could wait an hour before bringing them back from the future. It would be twelve months for them 'In Some Future'. An extra hour delay here in the present wouldn't matter.

Everyone understood what Cameron meant and 'approved' of with that extra hour. Camille already agreed that Ginger could 'experiment' in her chassis for an hour since she was going to be using Ginger's chassis for an entire year. She knew with Young Jesse that Ginger's chassis would see a lot of use.

The arcing and flashing started.

The energy bubble appeared around Cameron, Ginger-Camille and Young Jesse on the TDE pad. In a flash they were – gone.

The arcing and flashing ended.

Ally led Camille-Ginger to her room….

Sheila followed after awhile….

They all knew they were on a short timeline….

They made the most of it.

Trepidation

Many things in life
Are an unknown
Until one is educated
Then they are known

To know is one thing
To learn is another
The reality of it all
May actually smother

Everybody soon learns
Everyone wants something
To achieve that goal
A neck they will wring

Everyone needs one to trust
Because it's a must
Or it will slowly rust
As it all turns to dust

Use careful calculation
During any negotiation
To avoid domination
And be left with trepidation

Nobody
