Chapter 1154

Plenty Of Time

Cameron was able to get John started up. In fact she'd already taken him most of the way there. She tried to decide whether to face forward or face backward if she climbed on top of him. She could tell John was close. She decided to finish him off with what she was doing.

She wanted John to have a good time and she provided it to him. To please John, pleased her. She kept going for a few seconds longer with her current endeavor as John made it. She'd learned by not stopping when he wanted her to that it always increased his pleasure at least double if not more. She'd have to take her satisfaction from that act since she'd derived none on her own from him.

Cameron looked up at John. She then crawled up and lay next to him. She knew not to give him a deep kiss for a little while. It always seemed to make him nervous. She didn't see why. She'd been the one who'd actually taken care of business.

John needed a moment to catch his breath before he could speak.

"That was fantastic, Cameron." John gasped out.

Cameron wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. She looked at her hand and was pleased to see there was nothing on it. It appeared to have been another completely successful procedure. She wanted John to know that he was in her thoughts.

"A happy customer is a repeat customer." Cameron said with a smile.

John was elated and felt very satisfied. Every time he shared with Cameron was special.

"I'm a happy customer." John said. "I'm a very happy man."

Cameron was aware John was 'done' for now. Maybe they could take a stroll around the ship for a while. There were a lot of things to see. She knew where everything was at and how to get there. She also knew every escape route and defensive position. She didn't think any of those would be necessary under the current conditions. She still thought it was helpful to know. She wanted to know if John would rather rest or head out.

"Do you want to look around the ship before the others get here?" Cameron asked. "We can take it easy in here as well. It's all up to you."

John checked the time. There knew there were some other things they needed to do too. He didn't want to get into a bind over time. He was unsure how long some things actually took to occur.

"Do we have time?" John asked. "We need to do the lifeboat drill and then watch the sail away activities."

There were other options available to them. Cameron offered John one with a reward. She would let him decide.

"We can do the sail away from our balcony if you don't want to be with a lot of people or if you don't want to wear much clothing…." Cameron said.

John didn't want the 'people thing' to be a problem. It's what the disguise was for. It seemed pretty good to him so far. Under normal circumstances he was aware the more people they were around, the more people there were to cause a problem of some type. He wasn't really worried about being identified by anyone specifically. It was still something that needed to be considered. He'd read about some of the online accounts that various venues on the ship seemed overcrowded at times.

"I think we're going to be with a lot of people wherever we go on the ship." John said. "There are a lot of passengers."

Cameron didn't necessarily think it was a bad thing under the current conditions. There would be a lot of people but they were all on vacation. Their minds would be focused on other things. There would be a multitude of events occurring at the same time. With a large group of people milling about they simply became part of the crowd, not the target of anyone's attention. There were other options available as well. She could think of a few places where there were no crowds.

"We're all alone here." Cameron said as she looked around.

John was nowhere near ready to 'go again'. He was pretty much expended for a little while longer. It was probably more than a little while at that.

"I guess we are." John said. "How much time between the sail away party and dinner will we have?"

Cameron was aware of the times that events were scheduled to occur. She didn't want John to stress out over something that didn't really matter.

"There's plenty of time." Cameron said.

John wondered about their dinner arrangements with the last minute additions. He was aware there were several different types of seating available. There was fixed seating available in the main dining room. Each table was specifically for a group of passengers. They would have the same waiter and assistant waiter each night of the cruise. There was also 'anytime dining' available in some of the other smaller dining rooms. Guests could arrive within a three hour time span to receive service and would be seated usually at a different location each night. The dining room staff would be assigned to a specific area but not to a specific group of people. Based upon availability, they might also be seated with other guests from other staterooms. There were also several specialty restaurants located on the ship as well. They usually served a specific type of food. Some of it was ethnically based.

"Will we eat dinner alone or with my family?" John asked.

Cameron offered John several options. She didn't want John to feel restricted or obligated. They were on vacation after all. It wasn't a duty assignment.

"We can do both on different nights or share dinner with them and do the rest of the meals on our own." Cameron said. "There are a lot of options. There's quite a bit of flexibility as far as the different dining venues go."

John wanted to share one meal a day. Other than that, everyone could do what they wanted to do. He figured dinner was probably the meal to share with the others. Everyone didn't get up at the same time or they may be involved in other 'activities' and might not want to stop. Sometimes some of them might be in a bigger hurry than others to attend an activity aboard the ship or if they were going to get off the ship in a port.

"I think only one meal a day is better." John said. "Then everyone can do their own thing the rest of the time."

Cameron wanted to remind John of another important feature that was available.

"Don't forget there's room service as well." Cameron said. "It's quite extensive for the luxury suites as to what's available. If some people aren't fully dressed or only want to wear a bathrobe, it's a viable option to use."

John wasn't really sure how the room service would work. He remembered when they were in Las Vegas that there were several food carts. They'd been pushed into the rooms. They were loaded with a multitude of items.

Cameron looked at their naked bodies. It was clear that John was done for now.

"We can get dressed and head out." Cameron said.

John felt a little guilty that Cameron 'serviced' him the last few times and he didn't do much for her. It actually seemed to be the case more often than not. Anytime he was with Cameron he was guaranteed at least one finish. He couldn't say the same thing happened for her even half of the time.

"I don't even need to take a shower after your last performance." John said. "I like to say it was quite exhilarating. I'll make sure you're taken care of the next time."

Cameron was pleased John was satisfied. She wanted nothing but the best for him. Her needs were secondary compared to his.

"It's fine." Cameron said. "You still owe me two more times today and tonight. I want you to make sure you deliver."

John didn't like to leave Cameron 'hanging'.

"I plan to deliver." John said.

Cameron wanted to head out. There'd already been enough 'head in'. It was time to get ready.

"What are you going to wear?" Cameron asked.

John wasn't sure how to dress for now. The other people they'd encountered on the pool deck and in the various dining venues didn't seem to wear anything overly fancy.

"I don't know." John said. "What are you going to wear?"

Cameron wanted the eyes of others off of John. She decided to make them look at her instead.

"I can wear my tight shorts now. I won't need my underwear either." Cameron said. "I didn't think I was going to be able to wear them before but everything worked out fine now."

Cameron absentmindedly wiped the back of her hand across her mouth, again.

John noticed but didn't say anything. He didn't really want to think about it. It was always Cameron that needed to deal with the aftermath of their couplings. He decided to keep his attire simple and carefree.

"Shorts and tennis shoes it is." John said.

Cameron wanted John to wear his disguise.

"Don't forget your hat and sunglasses either." Cameron said. "I'm wearing mine."

They both quickly got dressed.

"It's time to head out." John said.

Cameron glanced down at John's shorts.

"You're good, nothing is showing." Cameron said.

John wasn't sure if she was joking. With the tight shorts Cameron wore and the form fitting tight tee shirt, everything showed on Cameron. He was glad her clothes weren't 'flesh colored' or Cameron would look naked.

Cameron noticed John look at her outfit. She really didn't think it was a big deal. It wasn't anything different from normal anyway. Maybe things were a little more prominent now than they'd be on the street. They were on vacation and so is everyone else. A lot of the females would want to show off the 'goods'. She was aware Sheila said, 'if you got it, flaunt it.'

"It seems like everyone already looks at me two or three times anyway." Cameron said. "Now they have a real excuse. You need to remember that nudity doesn't bother me at all. Everyone has a body and everyone has the same parts, even if they're different in detail. People that are unable to deal with that reality have a personal problem. It's their hang up, not mine."

John looked at Cameron for the third time. It was impossible not to.

"I guess they all do." John said.

Cameron arched her back slightly. The move made her breasts prominent with a set of mild pokies.

"This way they won't remember my face since they'll be looking elsewhere." Cameron said.

John needed to agree with that.

"You can say that again." John said.

Cameron looked at John.

"This way they won't remember my face since they'll be looking elsewhere." Cameron said with a straight face.

John smiled but said nothing. He was never sure when Cameron was joking or being literal.

He figured with her oversized sunglasses and large sun hat, people wouldn't be able to get a good look at her face anyway. He was aware of what was important to Cameron.

"Do you want to check operations before we go out?" John asked. "I know you like to keep up to speed on everything."

Cameron did want to do that but was afraid she would get caught up in events. She wanted to spend time with John. She'd made an earlier promise to him about when operations would be checked and followed.

"I only want to do it when you're sleeping." Cameron said.

John knew it was important to Cameron. He wanted to give her the option.

"You never know when something will turn up." John said.

Cameron new that was true. There were others who should be able to step up and assist. Cammy and Cam should be able to deal with anything the same as she could.

"I'll let some of the others deal with it." Cameron said. "We're on vacation."

John wished she would do that more often. He was just glad she hadn't been shot up for the last few weeks. He didn't know Savannah ran a temporal mission to 'fix' irreparable damage to Cameron previously. She fixed it by preventing it from happening to Cameron in the first place. She created a temporal loop and pulled Cameron out of it before anything actually happened to her.

Cameron took John by the hand and led him from the suite into the private hallway area connecting the three suites.

Jim and Sheila waited there. They seemed almost at attention.

John didn't want them to have to do that.

Jim nodded at them as they approached.

"We'll get your room in order." Jim said.

John felt bad about others 'waiting' on them. He understood it was their assignment to watch over him. He didn't feel they should have to wait on them as well. Technically they replaced two crew members who would normally be assigned to that area. They took their job very seriously as far as being on the ship.

"You don't need to." John said. "Our room is fine."

He thought Sheila looked beautiful in her maid's outfit.

"It is part of our duty assignment." Sheila said. "We'll do the best job possible. Our guests come first with CamNet Cruise Lines."

John quickly glanced over at Cameron with Sheila's comment. It didn't appear as if Cameron was going to berate her. He didn't want any needless tension between their Terminators.

Cameron looked at Sheila and saw she was still dressed in the regulation outfit. She could tell it didn't excite John as much as the one she'd last worn seemed to. With all of its modifications, everyone could see everything. She decided to wear the modified maid's outfit when she was in Sheila's chassis for John. It was the outfit that originally caught his fancy when they first boarded the ship. There was no reason that whatever thoughts had been his mind at that point couldn't be played out with her in control of Sheila's chassis. It would literally be the same thing except she would be the one who was in control.

Jim moved forward and opened the door into the hallway corridor.

John felt it was totally unnecessary but he didn't want to seem rude.

"Thank You." John said.

Cameron and Sheila shared a long glance. It excited Cameron to know she was going to give John, Sheila's virginity as herself.

John and Cameron moved out toward the stairway. There was luggage in front of some of the other cabins now and more people were moving around.

No one seemed to pay them much attention right now. They all wanted to get to their rooms and get situated.

Cameron was satisfied they seemed fairly invisible right now.

"What do you want to see first?" Cameron asked.

John knew the nude sunbathing area wasn't open until tomorrow when they were at sea so he didn't mention it. It was where he wanted to go and check things out. He didn't think it could hurt to look. Right now Cameron should decide where they go. She was the one who knew specifically where everything was at and how to get there.

"You pick it." John said. "You already know the layout and arrangement of everything."

Cameron did know. She decided to start with the biggest thing.

"Let's go check out the main theater." Cameron said. "It is in the forward part of the ship."

John knew all the good seats went to the 'early birds'.

"I read it fills up fast." John said.

Being in the Owner's Suite did have some perks.

"We have a private viewing box." Cameron said.

It was news to John, good news. He was completely unaware of that.

"Really?" John asked.

Cameron needed to thank CamNet for this one.

"Really." Cameron said. "Remember we're 'guests of the owners'."

The spin Cameron would put on it was that she was the owner's daughter if the situation arose. She didn't think there would be anyone who would want to disagree or argue with her about anything. She was aware Bob would arrive in very short order if there was any kind of a problem. The other Terminators would step forward as well if it became necessary.

John wanted to thank CamNet himself.

"Should I thank CamNet or the Syndicate and the Cartel?" John asked. "I believe she invested her newly acquired money wisely."

Cameron wanted to put the real credit where it was due.

"You should thank Young Allison." Cameron said. "Taking down and cleaning out the Syndicate and the Cartel was her idea."

John thought about it. Young Allison always hit hard, low and repeatedly. He didn't want to anger her inadvertently. He'd always observed Allison was quick to bite. She was quick to forgive too. He was sure that Young Allison would be even quicker to bite but he didn't know how quick she would be to forgive. It seemed like something best to avoid.

"I better not get on her 'wrong side'." John said.

Cameron knew the scorn of a female. Duplicate Cameron, Future Allison and Future Savannah clued her in. They also gave her advice and instructions on how to deal with John - Future John. The end result of them working in concert would be the same for her John.

"It wouldn't be advisable." Cameron said. "If one of the three of us develops an issue that needs some type of remediation, we will all adhere to each other's desires. I can guarantee the term 'high and dry' will not be singular. It will be three times over."

John mulled over her statement for a bit. It was clearly a warning not to upset one of them once the 'Natural Order' was in effect. It seemed like a subject he should steer away from for now.

"Do we need to take the elevator or should we use the stairs?" John asked.

Cameron didn't think the stairs would be a problem in their casual attire. She did need to worry about some of the females who weren't accustomed to fancy clothes. It would be a little harder for them to move around.

"We can use the stairs." Cameron said. "When we have our evening dresses on, I think Sarah and Riley should use the elevators. That's later on."

Cameron led the way. They were in the stairwell now.

"Which floor is it?" John asked.

Cameron thought the main entrance would be most impressive for his first look.

"We can try the main entrance." Cameron said. "It's on deck seven."

John decided to make a quick joke.

"That's my lucky number." John said.

Cameron tilted her head slightly. John previously informed her another number was his lucky number. She decided to ask him about it.

"I thought 'sixty-nine' was your lucky number." Cameron said.

John remembered he did tell Cameron that before.

"That's when I'm alone with you." John said.

Cameron smiled at John. She always thought a little mutual satisfaction was the way to share.

Savannah and Dan approached the giant freezer. It was quiet. Cammy was no longer in sight.

Dan carefully looked over the outside of the freezer unit.

"It's not operating." Dan said.

Savannah didn't want to run into any surprises, especially of the Liquid Metal type.

"I think it's a good thing." Savannah said.

Dan went to reach for the handle to open the door.

Savannah checked around them. She moved off to his side as she held her silenced M9 and Taser. She was ready to fire either one of them. The unknown always presented a high risk factor.

Dan looked at her and nodded. He opened the door. The room was lit but it was empty.

Savannah wasn't willing to risk it about anything. She knew that the cleanup team had been to the building after the initial assault. She didn't think an additional inspection would hurt anything. In fact, it might benefit them.

"Double check for anything we missed before." Savannah said. "Be careful too."

Dan took a quick look around them before he faced the freezer door again.

"Affirmative." Dan said as he entered.

Savannah moved up to the door to cover him. If they'd missed any Liquid Metal before, they didn't have the weapons to fight it with them. Their best course of action would be to retreat.

Cammy finished her inspection of the upper floor and sleeping quarter's area. She saw Savannah and Dan headed her way as she came down the stairs. They could check the freezer. She would check out the office area. She headed directly for the front of the building.

The office area was in shambles. There was dried blood on the floor and some scattered papers. The computers were all gone. They'd taken them all a week ago. They wanted to glean whatever information was available on them. So far it hadn't been much.

Cammy moved along the wall to look out the window and across the way. She could see the burnt building where the sniper fired on Cameron's team. She was aware how close it was for Savannah. It didn't sit well with her. She looked carefully in each window of the building across the way for another sniper but didn't spot any. The doors and windows were still secure in the office area. No one had breached the office area from the outside. She headed back toward the walk in freezer.

When she came around the corner, Savannah's Taser and silenced M9 were pointed at her.

Savannah quickly lowered them when she saw it was Cammy. She hadn't expected Cammy to appear so suddenly. She'd heard a slight scraping noise and didn't know exactly what it was until Cammy came around the corner.

"You never know." Savannah said. "There've been a few irregularities in regards to this building."

Cammy didn't like being a target but was glad Savannah was aware of the danger of the unknown. She liked the fact Savannah would have been protected if she'd been an intruder.

"No you don't." Cammy said. "Always keep your guard up. I would rather take a bullet from you than have you take one from the enemy."

Savannah hoped it never came to that. She wanted Cammy to assist Dan.

"I'll wait here." Savannah said. "Help Dan check for anything we missed before. Check for the smallest thing. There are a lot of unknowns associated with this operation."

Cammy went by Savannah and entered the freezer.

"You never know." Cammy said as they passed. "We still don't know for sure who all the players were on the field."

Savannah kept watch inside the freezer and outside as well. Her silenced M9 and Taser both remained at the ready. There was one in each hand. She hoped she wouldn't have to 'Wild West' it in a shootout with a Terminator. She was ready for anyone.

Vanna gave Allison a kiss and headed for Riley's room. She looked forward to the opportunity. It would be a test of her abilities.

Samantha opened the door for her as she neared.

"Hello, Samantha." Vanna said.

Samantha hoped Vanna was up to the challenge.

"Hello." Samantha said. "Derek and Riley just left a few moments ago. Kyle and Sarah were with them. Are you ready to be a full time mom for a few days?"

Vanna looked around. Everything looked the same as it always did. She didn't think it was going to be a problem.

"I am." Vanna said. "I want to do everything by myself."

Samantha wanted to assist. She wanted to at least help with a few things.

"What about when you're asleep?" Samantha asked.

Vanna wanted to try to do it all. She wanted to be as responsible as possible.

"I want to do everything." Vanna said. "I'll get up. I'm going to try anyway."

Samantha wanted to be there for Precious. It was her 'job'.

"What do you want me to do?" Samantha asked.

Vanna didn't want it to become an issue. She was aware how Terminators could get fixated on something and it would usually cause some kind of a problem. It seemed like they were headed for one right now.

"You can take it easy for a few days." Vanna said.

Samantha wanted to stay close to Precious. She didn't want to create any problems either. There was one solution that seemed like it might work and benefit everyone.

"I can go into standby." Samantha said. "I'll be here but out of the way."

Vanna didn't think it was necessary.

"You don't need to. It is up to you." Vanna said. "Allison, Claire and Jesse will all stop by at different times."

Samantha pointed out that Vanna worked in other areas.

"You're very busy in the lab." Samantha said.

Vanna could see it was going to be an issue no matter what happened. She'd planned ahead. She took some time off.

"I won't be doing my work in the lab for a few days." Vanna said.

Samantha didn't give up easily. There seemed to be another avenue she might be able to pursue.

"I can help when you have guests." Samantha said.

Vanna waited for Samantha to hand Precious over to her. Samantha still held her. It was evident Samantha wanted to do what she felt was her job. She didn't want to make things worse but she needed to do something to move things along.

"May I take the little princess now?" Vanna asked.

Samantha slowly handed her over to Vanna.

Vanna wanted to reassure Samantha. She really didn't know what else to tell her other than what she'd already said.

"I'm going to try my best to do a good job." Vanna said.

Samantha knew that Vanna would. She'd observed that Vanna always did. She could see from the beginning that Vanna was much more competent than Riley was in dealing with an infant. For that matter, Jesse was as well.

"You always do." Samantha said.

Vanna looked a little uncomfortable.

"I hope she needs to nurse soon." Vanna said. "I'm full up."

Samantha tilted her head slightly.

"It should be about three quarters of an hour before she'll let you know she's hungry." Samantha said.

Vanna looked at Precious and smiled. She glanced up at Samantha.

"I'll be ready." Vanna said.

Earlier:

The team got into an SUV and left the Resistance base. They headed for the port. The drive there was mostly uneventful. The traffic level was moderate. The climb over the hill through Sepulveda Pass on the 405 freeway had been a little slow. Then again, it always was. Once they were past the Westside and then LAX, traffic thinned out considerably. They made the transition off the 405 freeway onto the 110 freeway.

There was a lot of anticipation and excitement in the SUV as it neared the port.

Riley hadn't been down to the port area much since she'd returned from the future.

"I think we're getting close." Riley said.

Sarah looked off to the southeast. She spotted a familiar landmark. It was hard to miss.

"I can see the big green bridge." Sarah said.

Everyone took in the different sites on both sides of the Harbor Freeway as they neared their destination. They passed a sign that indicated the Cruise Terminal turn off would be up ahead in a short distance.

"We'll be there in four minutes at our current rate of speed." Cam said.

Riley could see they were headed to what appeared to be the big green bridge. She wondered if they were going to traverse it.

"Will we get to drive over the big bridge?" Riley asked. "It looks really cool. It reminds me of the Golden Gate Bridge but it's painted green instead of red."

Cam was aware the Vincent Thomas Bridge was considerably smaller than the Golden Gate Bridge. She was going to correct Riley on the color of the Golden Gate Bridge. It may appear red in some of the photos but it was actually International Orange. She didn't want to dampen the mood in the SUV when they were so close to their destination. Vanna taught her it was best to not say some things when they weren't necessary or didn't really matter. She knew it was still several hours before the ship would actually depart.

"We can do it if everyone wants to." Cam said. "It shouldn't take very long."

Sarah didn't want to put them in a bind for time.

"Do we have time?" Sarah asked. "I don't want to cut things too close."

Cam knew the ship wouldn't leave without them, even if it was the scheduled departure time. CamNet would create something to make sure that the ship stayed docked until all of their team was on board if it became necessary. It wouldn't be necessary in this instance.

"Yes." Cam said. "There's plenty of time."

Derek glanced over at Riley. He'd been over the bridge before. He really wanted to get on the ship.

"I don't want us to be in a jam for time." Derek said.

Cam tilted her head slightly. She didn't think they understood how simple it would be.

"It will only take an additional five minutes." Cam said. "We'll just cross over and come back. It's no big deal."

Kyle was a little anxious as well. He really didn't know what to expect as far as the boarding procedure for the ship. He knew that the ship could carry several thousand passengers but he was unsure as to how everything would happen.

"Will there be a lot of people at the Cruise Terminal now?" Kyle asked.

Hanna was aware of the boarding procedure.

"It will be packed with new arrivals." Hanna said.

Riley didn't want to delay the group. It didn't seem like anyone other than her wanted to go over the big green bridge. No one actually said it but they all seemed to indicate it.

"Maybe we'd better not go on the bridge then." Riley said. "It was just a thought. I don't want to create a problem for anyone."

Cam didn't think the additional passengers boarding the ship would be a problem. They were going to avoid all of them. They would use the same method of entry that John and Cameron used.

"You'll bypass the normal entrance and enter through the special entrance for crew members and VIP guests." Cam said.

Sarah believed that method of entry could be both good and bad. She was aware that VIPs drew the attention of lookiloos and other types of individuals. She didn't want to get clocked as a 'mark'.

"Will it raise any eyebrows?" Sarah asked. "I want to stay off everyone's radar."

Hanna didn't believe it was going to be a problem. She's been in direct communication with Bob about the boarding procedure for John and Cameron. Everything should be smooth sailing.

"It won't be as long as you have your hat and sunglasses on." Hanna said. "It will conceal your true identity very well."

Derek looked at some of the things that they carried with them.

"We all have our disguises." Derek said as he looked at Hanna. "Are you coming with us?"

Hanna was actually a little disappointed. She believed that she was going to be able to go with the team originally. Cameron indicated there were already a sufficient number of Terminators aboard the ship for the assignment.

"It should be low risk for everyone." Hanna said. "I was originally going to accompany you. It was determined that Gail and Holly would be sufficient to go with both of your families."

Riley wondered how the Terminators would be dispersed. She wondered if they would get their own Terminator to watch over them.

"Who will go with each family?" Riley asked.

Cam thought the duty assignments would play out for each individual scenario or situation.

"It can be either one or both." Cam said. "They can switch out for whatever the occasion is. They can act as part of your group or remain in a trailing mode."

Sarah worried about John's safety. She would like for him to have plenty of Terminator support.

"Does that leave John protected well enough?" Sarah asked.

Hanna thought Sarah wanted there to be additional Terminators on board. She saw it as an opportunity to still be able to go on the cruise.

"I can contact Cameron and ask if she wants me to go with you." Hanna said.

Sarah didn't want to make a big deal about it. She needed to trust Cameron's judgment.

"No, there is no need to bother her." Sarah said. "Everyone knows what they're doing."

Derek saw the turn off for the Cruise Terminal come and go.

"Hey, that was the exit for the Cruise Terminal." Derek said.

Cam wanted to follow Riley's original request. She didn't see any reason not to. They would be able to drive right up to the VIP gate at any time. The team should be able to board uneventfully. She thought Riley only would have mentioned it if it was something she really wanted to do. Riley never asked for many things so she wanted to try to give her something that she actually wanted.

"We'll get off at the one on the other side of the bridge when we come back." Cam said. "We have plenty of time."

The SUV headed up the sharp incline of the Vincent Thomas Bridge.

Sarah looked down to her right side as they went up the bridge.

"I see the ship." Sarah said. "it's impressive."

Kyle leaned over and moved his head next to Sarah's head. He was very impressed with what he saw. He knew a cruise ship was big but he didn't know it was that big.

"That thing is huge." Kyle said.

Derek spotted the USS Iowa just past the Cruise Terminal.

"Look, there's a battleship." Derek said.

Riley saw some big cargo ships on the other side of the channel.

"Those other ships are gigantic too." Riley said. "Look at all those big crates on them."

Ally had remained quiet for most of the journey. She'd watched all the others as they reacted to everything on the journey there.

"Those are container ships." Ally said. "They're bringing goods in from other countries and taking goods away from here for overseas distribution."

Cam crossed the bridge, made the turnaround and headed back.

They were all given a nice overview of all the activity that occurred around the port area. There were numerous ships being unloaded in different locations as well as several petroleum refineries and storage facilities.

Riley was very pleased she was able to see everything, even if it was briefly. They were just a lot of things that she didn't normally see. She didn't get out much.

"This view is awesome." Riley said. "Thank you for taking the detour."

Cam was very pleased Riley enjoyed the brief tour.

"You're welcome." Cam said.

Cam was aware that Cameron always wanted Riley to feel welcome and important as well as part of the team. It was normally Cameron that carried that torch but Cameron wasn't there right now, she was. She'd been able to deliver as well.

Anna followed the tracking of the SUV.

"The second group should be arriving soon." Anna said.

Young Allison was able to view the SUV through several different means.

"I can see the SUV on the bridge cam now." Young Allison said.

Anna could see Young Allison watched several different things.

"You can also see John and Cameron." Anna said.

There were screens of various locations on the ship.

"CamNet is showing us where they are on the ship at any given point." Young Allison said.

Anna thought Young Allison should use some restraint in her observations.

"There should be a privacy factor to their movements and interactions." Anna said. "You need to remember they're on vacation and not an operation. There's a big difference."

Young Allison felt a twinge of guilt. It was very slight.

"You're right." Young Allison said.

Anna wanted to put things into perspective for Young Allison.

"What would you want if it was you?" Anna asked.

Young Allison swallowed hard. It wasn't her but she hoped one day it would be. She wouldn't want to advertise whatever she did when she was alone with someone.

"CamNet can show us what's relevant if necessary." Young Allison said. "What happens on the ship, stays on the ship."

Anna was aware Cameron made the very saying clear several times.

"I think that's the best motto." Anna said.

Young Allison was a little concerned about the number of Terminators that were on board the ship. Some of the Terminators on the ship had specific duties related to the ship. It most likely meant they wouldn't be available at all times to watch over the humans that were about to board. She didn't want any problems. She wanted everyone protected.

"We can watch the new group board and then play it cool." Young Allison said. "Do you think Hanna and Ally should back them up?"

Anna tilted her head slightly. She knew it was the original plan. The plan changed. Maybe it needed to change again.

"I don't know." Anna said. "Do you anticipate a problem?"

Young Allison didn't want there to be any problems. She thought preemptive action was in order.

"I want to play it safe." Young Allison said.

Anna wanted to act on Young Allison's concern.

"I'll send a message to Cameron." Anna said. "Do you want to ask her?"

Young Allison didn't want to second guess Cameron's decisions.

"No. She thought Gail and Holly would be sufficient." Young Allison said.

Anna knew they could have more Terminators.

"There are other options." Anna said.

Anna silently relayed Young Allison's concern anyway.

Plenty Of Time

Time waits for nobody
It keeps on ticking
Will things work out
Will time deliver a licking

Of those questions
Is there a definitive answer
Will things blossom and bloom
Or wilt and fester like a cancer

Everything is always put off
It can be done tomorrow
Tomorrow never comes
Maybe that's life's deathblow

Are things just a hassle
Or are they the wrong things
Nothings is ever free
Watch for the attached strings

Are things fine and dandy
Or covered with slime and grime
Don't get caught in the trap
And think there's plenty of time

Nobody
