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.
First of all I would like to thank all the people that have left reviews: olischulu, Hinotima24, River2027, and kaotic2. I appreciate all the comments, and as I said - Good, Bad, or Indifferent, all comments and reviews are welcome.
Hopefully you all like this chapter, it wasnt the way that i wanted it to be originally, so... i dont know, let me know what you think :-)

John sat alone in front of his computer, alone, amidst in a sea of thoughts. An old Terminator with a new chip. That's something new, even from Skynet standards. The only thing that he really couldn't wrap his head around was why this "Old" Terminator would go after his mother and Derek.
Even for the few seconds that he had heard his mother's voice in the recording that was accidently found in the chip of the Terminator, he could still tell that she loved him. More than anything in the world, willing to give up her own life for the safety of her son. The future leader of mankind. Some leader right?
"John, I finished removing the skin from the terminator we just killed, there's something that I think that you need to see." Cameron stated.
As they walked into the garage (makeshift Terminator disposal unit) he saw the terminator's lifeless body laying in the thermite pit that he and Derek had put together. As soon as he was able to get a clear view of the terminator, suddenly a shiver went down his back.
"Cameron, what the hell model is this? This isn't a regular T-800 series."
"I know, that's what I wanted you to see. There are substantial differences between this model and the model that you once protected you when you were a child."
The first thing that John realized was that the normal red eyes that the terminator 800 series had, we in fact with this one, a deep shade of purple. The coltan that made the endoskeleton chassis was much brighter… gleaming like chrome perfection. The hydraulic servos used to power the endo were much stronger, smaller, and could sustain more stress before giving out.
"What exactly are we looking at here Cameron?"
"I don't exactly know, this terminator was not that hard to defeat even though most of the endo could withstand more strength than what I used. I don't understand." She stated with a confused look on her face.
John sat against the edge of the garage trying to gather his thoughts. A new terminator disguised as an obsolete model… What the hell is Skynet doing?
"The answers have to be on the chip Cameron. All we have to do is find out how to gain access to the chip. I may be able to create a program on my laptop that could brute force the chip and bombard it with information until we could gain access, but it would take me a while to create it."
"I don't think that the technology of today will be able to force the way in, something you are forgetting John, the processors of today can't compete with the ones that Skynet has been creating." Cameron said with a hint of sadness to her voice.
"Then what the hell do you think we can do? Just sit around here and do nothing? We have to figure something out! I have to find out where my mom is! I have to find Derek! Cameron, he's the closest thing to my father that I have. His own flesh and blood, I can't lose--- I have an idea… Not really sure how it would work, but I think I have an idea."
John started throwing things around the garage on a rampage looking for something. Ripping tarps off of boxes and scattering the contents to the floor. After about 5 minutes he finally found the box that he was looking for. Spare Computer Parts.
"Cameron, do you remember when we hooked your CPU into the light pole so you could gain access to the ARTIE system? You gave me the idea, To this day we have no processor that can even come close to what you are running in that coltan head of yours. You are the most sophisticated piece of technology on earth, well, compared to the chip that's upstairs. If I can get you to take over my laptop, do you think that you can gain access to the chip?" John said while busy unpacking more computer equipment.
"I don't know John. I know that answer isn't the one that you wanted to hear, but I have never tried anything like this before. Not even Future you has tried anything like this before. We really don't know what could happen."
"Look, I have thought this though in my head, I can give your CPU enough power to take over my laptop just like Vick did with my other one. I hook up the computers though serial cables and you can just see what you can do. I'll be watching the whole time, if anything appears to be going wrong, I will pull the chip."
3 Hours and quite a bit of assembly later…
Cameron sat still on the bed as John cut a semicircle around the chip port cover. He peeled back the skin and removed the cover. With a set of needle nose pliers, he carefully removed her shock dampening assembly, exposing her bluish chip.
"Cameron are you ready?"
"Yes John. I trust you." I'll see you soon were the last words that she heard before her world went black.
John moved quickly placing her chip into an antistatic bag. He began to setup the camera and the microphone that would enable him to communicate with Cameron. The camera was for her benefit only, so that she could monitor what he was doing the entire time, not to mention, just be able to see him.
He slowly placed her chip into the PCI slot of the computer and powered it on. God Cameron I hope this works. I'm sorry I have to use you like this, but this is the only thing that I could think of… please don't be mad at me…
John slowly increased the power given to the chip to 6.7 volts, .2 volts more than he gave Vick's chip. After a few seconds of silence, his computer screen went black. Cameron came online.
He caught himself staring into the monitor, the blue HUD on the screen was overwhelming. Full color display.
"Cameron, Can you hear me?"
Yes I can appeared on the screen shortly after.
"Ok, I'm going to load up the other computer. I'm going to give the chip 4.5 volts so as not to activate the chip. Are you sure that you want to do this?"
There isn't much of a choice John. We have to see what it's seen. We have to know where it's been.
John started up the other computer and nothing happen as he applied voltage to the chip. He was running at 4.5 volts and knew that there was no other time to try this out. He connected the computers together and began running the program that would link them.
"Derek Reese?" Asked the Terminator in a gruff voice.
"Screw You!" Derek spat in its face.
"I'm looking for John Connor. You were a lieutenant in the resistance, under direct command of John Connor. You are going to help me find him." Stated the Terminator.
"I WONT HELP YOU FIND SHIT!" Derek screamed.
The Terminator slammed him harder into the side of the truck, the impact so hard, it rendered Derek unconscious.
"We'll see." Said the terminator getting back into his car and going to the next location.
All of a sudden Cameron's computer began to crash, he pulled the chip as quickly as he could hoping and praying that nothing happened to her chip.
After a few minutes he caught his breath, and slid the chip back into Cameron. After waiting roughly 120 seconds for her to boot back up, she looked at him.
"Hey… what happened, I saw Derek and all of a sudden your computer started crashing." He asked curiously.
"I don't know, I was going though files when I came across an encrypted file that sent me into a spiral. I don't know what was going on, just all of my memories seemed to flash in an instant. As some humans would put it, my life was flashing before my eyes."
"Are you ok though? All systems functional?" He asked.
"All systems are currently running at optimal efficiency. The file did not seem to harm any of my systems." She stated in a monotone voice.
"Good, lets take a break for now… what do you think?"
"Break. That sounds like a good idea."
Little did they know that the file that Cameron accessed had actually transferred massive amounts of information to the advanced chip. Little did they know that Skynet had actually made that Terminator run on less power… Little did they know, that while John was talking to Cameron about her experience, the chip was actively online getting the word out where John Connor was…
Little…
did…
they…
know….
To Be Continued.
