Author's Note: This is my first fanfiction. I havn't been in school for quite a while, but after reading a lot of the stories on this site, I found myself wanting to try to write one of my own. Please read and review. Good, Bad, or Indifferent. All reviews are welcome. I know that my sentence grammer isn't the best, but as I said, this is my first.
Remember, please review. I would like to find out if I'm worthy of being an author or if I should quit before I start. This is my second chapter. Thanks and hopefully you all enjoy this FF.

John sat at the edge of his bed carefully examining the chip from the T800 Model 102 that Cameron had just finished terminating. A small tear fell down his cheek as he remembered the chip that he removed from the Terminator that was sent to protect him in 1992. It looked almost identical. The only difference was that it was a darker shade of red and the switch had been set to 'read only'.
***1992***
"My CPU is a Neural Net Processor. A Learning Computer, but Skynet sets it to 'read only' when we are sent out alone." Said the Terminator.
"I guess it doesn't want you to do too much thinking does it?" Asked Sarah Connor.
"No." Replied the Terminator
"Well… is there a way that we can reset the switch?" Asked an innocent John Connor.
They both turned and looked at him with an inquisitive look.
***Present***
John sat a while thinking about the last Terminator that was sent to protect him, then also thinking about what he saw on Vick's chip after Cameron terminated the machine. There were things on that chip that he couldn't imagine, horrors to likes that he has never seen. The model was so advanced that it actually made a woman believe that it was human. That wasn't what was bothering him though, it was the comment that Cameron made after he asked her if that thing was married. That comment still haunts him to this day… She wouldn't be the first human to be fooled by a machine.
His blood froze just at the thought of that statement. Fooled by a machine. An imitation of life… a mockery of human existence. Cameron, for all that she was worth, she was an even more advanced model than Vick was, by far. The thought sent shivers down John's spine.
"John, have you set up the computer yet?" Asked Cameron.
"Not yet, I still have a lot of work to do. I don't want to make the same mistake that we made with Vick's chip. I don't want to take the chance of this Terminator taking over my laptop again. We need to find out where my mother and Derek is… I can't take the chance of something happening to them… I—, I would never forgive ---"
"John, we are going to find them. It may take a while, but with that series, it really shouldn't be that hard."
"Thanks Cam." He said gratefully.
"No Problemo." She replied… Sending an even bigger shiver down his back.
2 Hours Later
"Ok Cam, we should be ready to go." John said double checking all of his connections. He wanted to make sure that nothing could go wrong. The information stored on this chip was the only way that he would ever see his mother or Derek alive again. He had to succeed.
"How much power are you giving the chip?" Asked Cameron.
"Right now we are running at 4.3 volts. I want to make sure that I don't go over 6.5 volts. That was when Vick shut down my computer and reactivated. We have to make sure that doesn't happen again. We have to be very careful with this chip."
"That would be very wise." She was slowly realizing that she wasn't looking at John Baum. She was looking at John Conner, well, at least a young naïve version of John Conner. One that has yet to be disciplined or taught. She let out a soft sigh and slowly brought a smile to her face.
"Ok Cam, I'm having a problem here. This isn't the same thing that was on Vick's chip. This… seems… I don't know, here, take a look." John slowly stepped away from the computer and allowed Cameron to take his place. He was amazed at the speed that she was typing on the keyboard, basically binary code, all 0's and 1's. The thing is that she wasn't making any progress, she was at the same impasse as he was. A slight look of confusion crossed her face as she tilted her head to the side.
"John, I don't understand this. This is a T800 model with less intelligence than most models, yet it has a form of a built in firewall that will NOT let me access any on the memory files that are on the database. This isn't just a regular T800, this is a new model."
"What the hell do you mean it's a new model? What the hell is Skynet doing? I don't understand this, I don't want to understand this, all I know, is we have to see what's on that chip and soon." He slammed his fists on the table causing the laptop to jump a little from the table. Just at that second when the motherboard also moved, the chip allowed about 3 seconds of data to be passed into the laptop.
"NO NO NO NO!!!! YOU WILL NEVER GET HIM!!! I WONT LET YOU!!!! NEVER!!! KILL ME NOW!!!!"
It was the voice of his mother. She wasn't pleading with the Terminator, she was telling it. She knew that if he contacted John, that he would know. Cameron was there to protect him. That is something that would never chance, she would die for John Connor.
We all die for John Connor….
