Chapter 945

I Guess She Did

Cameron led the group forward, followed by Young Allison and Savannah. Anna brought up the rear. They headed into the concealed hanger and storage area.

The HK Tracks backed up when the small group of four entered.

There were several SUVs parked inside. There was a row of HK Tracks on one side and a row of HK drones on the other side.

There were several damaged HK drones that were being cannibalized for parts. They were the two that were shot down in the desert as they hugged the ground and tried to back up the Skynet forces in the warehouse. Hank and Larry worked on two other drones.

Savannah went up and greeted Hank and Larry. She touched both of them on the cheek as she spoke with them, one at a time. She'd previously worked with them before. They normally worked for Cameron and CamNet. She introduced Young Allison to them.

Young Allison shook hands with them. They seemed very pleased to meet her. They didn't have much interaction with humans, at least in a positive way. Most of their interactions would have been when someone was terminated. That would most likely be a Gray, a future Gray or a future Scavenger.

Young Allison felt it was time to get down to business. She wanted to assist in the repair of the two drones she caused to be damaged when they took down the desert warehouse.

"Are these the two drones I abused?" Young Allison asked.

One of Cameron's Terminators stepped forward. He felt he needed to clarify the issue somewhat.

"These are the two drones you used to successfully complete your mission." Larry said. "They are still fully functional and mechanically sound. There's only some minor damage."

Cameron wasn't exactly sure what Young Allison was going to do. She thought that she might want to spend a few moments by herself.

"Allison wishes to be alone with the drones for a few minutes." Cameron said.

No one questioned the decision. Everyone turned to leave.

Young Allison didn't want everything to seem over-dramatic.

"It's fine." Young Allison said. "Everyone can remain. I'm just here to help."

Young Allison saw the two drones were active. She walked over and touched each one. She then ran her hands over the damaged sections. She wasn't sure to what extent she would be able to interact with the drones.

"Can I communicate with them?" Young Allison asked.

When Cameron returned from her visit 'in some future' she decided to make all of their equipment as intelligent as possible. 'In some future' she'd needed to use a drone to get around with Savannah. She needed to construct a crude interface to communicate with the HK drone that they'd appropriate. She wanted to make it much easier in the present for anyone in the Resistance to communicate and direct any of their equipment.

"They're able to understand and process your words. They've all been modified to act on the voice commands of any of our team members." Cameron said. "They can act autonomously or be directed to perform specific commands. That applies to all of the Resistance equipment."

Young Allison knelt down and whispered to each one as she touched the damage.

Everyone gave her some privacy anyway. It was an act of kindness and caring.

Savannah didn't think it was coincidental that the drones were currently in the repair process when they arrived.

"I noticed they're being repaired now." Savannah said.

Young Allison looked at Cameron and smiled. This is what she'd ask for through Anna and CamNet.

"That's so we can assist in the repairs." Young Allison said.

Cameron had been notified by CamNet what Young Allison requested. She believed it was an excellent idea. She was even more pleased that both Terminators and the other equipment there would be able to witness what actually happened. She knew that 'word' would spread among the Terminators and the other types of equipment.

"It's an option." Cameron said. "I wanted to make it available."

Young Allison felt she possessed good basic knowledge about the different types of equipment but what she liked was experience. She was aware that there is no substitute for experience.

"I want to help, even if I only do a little." Young Allison said. "I've studied the plans but have little mechanical experience."

Anna was very pleased with Young Allison's actions. She'd worked with her on many smaller projects. She was aware that Young Allison was a little hesitant to work with a more sophisticated piece of machinery.

"I've shown her many basic functions." Anna said. "Nothing has been as advanced as this. The repairs appear to be mostly cosmetic on the two drones."

Young Allison was very impressed being this close to both HK Tracks and HK drones.

"We have the time." Young Allison said. "This is something I want to do."

Cameron wanted things to go smoothly for Young Allison.

"Larry and Hank will instruct you." Cameron said. "There won't be any problems."

Young Allison looked at the group assembled in the hangar.

"I want it to be all of us together." Young Allison said. "We'll be two teams. We'll all work together."

Earlier Cameron watched how Hank and Larry perked up when they saw Savannah and the effects on them when both of the girls touched them. This seemed to perk them up even more. Now the girls were going to work with them. They wanted to help repair the machines. It showed the girls cared and that machines mattered, all of the machines mattered.

The presence and effect of Savannah and Young Allison when they were around any Terminators was very noticeable. The care that Young Allison displayed for the machines she caused to be damaged was touching. It was touching because of what the act represented as opposed to a simple repair or acceptable damage.

That same concern would be displayed when the girls were at John's side in the future. They would keep him 'human' and allow him to share the compassion and feeling that they felt. There would be a war to fight. They would remind John that there shouldn't be any unnecessary losses with humans or machines. Better planning and suggestions from those closest to him should be considered and brainstormed. Their advice and suggestions were to be weighed in.

Cameron wanted them there for her too for those very reasons. The fact that they would all be lovers was secondary. They needed to be friends first and all respect each other. They needed to help each other and be there for each other. Times would be tough and mutual support would be necessary to get through the tough times. The love shared would be the physical manifestation of the emotional bond.

She never wanted it to just be about sex. She wanted it to be about love expressed physically through sex when that occurred. She really liked the idea of everyone working together.

"That's what we'll do." Cameron said. "We'll work together as teams."

Young Allison headed for the closest drone. She wanted to get to work.

"Let's get crackin'." Young Allison said. "Things don't get done thinking about it."

The six of them went to work. Savannah and Young Allison did as much of the work as possible under the guidance of the Terminators. It was an extremely satisfying experience for all of them.

CamNet informed John Henry what Savannah and Young Allison were doing. She thought it was important and a very meaningful gesture. It was a show of support that the machines mattered to Young Allison and Savannah. To them the machines were more than tools or expendable assets.

John Henry didn't want to be too intrusive. He asked CamNet if there was any video that he could view. He told her that he wanted the General to observe and hopefully learn as well. He was very pleased to witness the event.

"General, you better take a look at this." John Henry said.

John Henry's choice of words caught John's attention. John Henry didn't usually refer to him as a General. He wondered exactly what was going on. He thought maybe it might be something a little more formal.

John looked at the footage. He knew even receiving that from CamNet was a plus. To see why it was shown made it special. He understood now why John Henry referred to him as the General rather than just as John.

He actually felt a little guilty about his earlier accusations at Cameron. He could see that she allowed Young Allison to do what she wanted to repair the damage to the two drones that she'd abused at the desert warehouse. It made him feel even more guilty that Young Allison actually helped repair the damaged drones. It made him think of when he needlessly damaged Cameron when he sent her in to get his mother out of jail. He wondered what he was thinking at the time. All they needed to do was wait a few more days until they transferred her to a mental institution. It would have been much easier to break her out at that point in time. He didn't need to be reminded of his shortcomings. He did admire Young Allison's fortitude and forethought in that regard.

"Savannah and Young Allison are helping fix the damage to the two drones used on the assault on the desert warehouse." John said. "It's just like the girls do for the damaged Terminators. It shows how much they care about them, even the 'less sophisticated' machines."

John Henry wasn't exactly sure about John's terminology. It was technically correct and somewhat diplomatic.

"They're building personal loyalty with all the machines by doing this." John Henry said. "Word of this will spread among all the Terminators and the 'less sophisticated machines'."

John could see that his earlier phraseology left something to be desired. He didn't want to get off on the wrong foot with anyone. He was aware that the machines possessed advanced programming from more than one individual.

"Maybe that was a poor choice of words." John said. "I apologize. I know they have parts of your programming along with Cameron's."

John Henry didn't want to get caught up in word games. What was the issue and the point now was Savannah and Young Allison.

"John, these two girls are more than special." John Henry said. "I can see why you chose and selected them."

John was sure THEY selected him in the future. Previously he'd thought that Cameron was to blame for stealing the girl's lives. He could see Cameron was right and their greatness came from within them. Cameron only cultivated and nourished what the girls carried inside them.

"I know Cameron, you and everyone else has worked with them over the years." John said. "What makes them special comes from inside of them. It's who they are. They're also the product of what everyone has contributed to educate and instruct them."

John Henry wanted John to know what the machines all knew.

"They are the 'Chosen Ones'." John Henry said.

John looked at the surveillance footage. Cameron worked as she showed Savannah and Young Allison what to do and some adjustments to make. He could see how they work together as a team. When they were together, it was almost as if they were one. He was sure that there was one more 'Chosen One' besides the girls.

"Yes they are." John said. "All THREE of them are."

John saw how well they worked together and got along. He saw the way Savannah and Young Allison looked at each other and at Cameron. There was a bond there that was stronger than love or friendship.

He wondered if maybe he spent too much time looking at close up images from the internet and watching his favorite scenes from 'Pretty Baby'. He'd wanted to know how to fly the manned drone before. Cameron never allowed him to do so. Now he watched the girls work on HK drones. He thought maybe he should learn a little bit more about all the machines that were part of the Resistance.

Bob returned Vanna and Allison back to the base. He found the drive home very educational and pleasurable as the girls 'interacted' with each other in a very sexual way.

"Thanks, Bob." Vanna and Allison both said.

Bob was always pleased to interact with any of the human females.

"Anytime…." Bob said.

Allison was more than a little worried about where Young Allison was at earlier in the day. She knew that her mother didn't understand the full magnitude of the future. Her mother may have visited the future but it's not the same as growing up in it and living it everyday. She didn't like the danger Young Allison was exposed to. The threat of death was still there no matter what. She never wanted Young Allison or Summer to go through what she grew up in. She never wanted them to need to face what Vanna and Jesse faced for years. She was very proud of her younger self and all of her accomplishments.

"I don't want my mom to know what really happened and how Allison was involved." Allison said.

Vanna was pretty sure that they didn't know the full story of everything that Young Allison was involved with. She did know what little they knew would more than likely be more than Claire could handle.

"I can understand." Vanna said. "She'll probably flip out."

Allison wasn't happy about what little she did know. She was sure there was a lot more going on than anyone knew about other than the participants themselves.

"If that was my daughter, I'd flip out too." Allison said. "I'm still going to talk to Cameron about it."

Vanna thought things through a little deeper.

"I think a part of us being with CamNet was to prevent that." Vanna said.

Allison was a little surprised by that idea.

"Really?" Allison asked.

Vanna wanted to look into what was going on a little deeper. They'd just seen one version of what was happening at Cameron base.

"Let's go to the Command Center." Vanna said. "I want to see what they know or say."

Allison was all sexually warmed up and ready to go.

"Do you want to go to your room, our room, first?" Allison asked.

Vanna was ready for that anytime. She thought Allison wanted to wait for some additional players.

"OK, Allison, we'll do what you want first." Vanna said. "I thought you wanted to wait for Cam."

Allison didn't see why they couldn't work multiple encounters into it.

"We can do everything again with Cam later and then again with Holly." Allison said.

Vanna slowed and looked at Allison.

"Are you alright?" Vanna asked.

Allison looked down at herself.

"I think so." Allison said. "Nobody has scanned me in a long time."

Vanna just watched someone do that multiple times to Allison.

"CamNet did, several times." Vanna said.

Allison felt a little less worried with that reminder.

"I guess she did." Allison said. "We can go by the Command Center first."

It seemed to Vanna that Allison was all over the place.

"Now, I'm starting to get worried." Vanna said.

Allison didn't feel any different. She was just 'warmed up' from what happened in the SUV on the way back to the Resistance base.

"Why?" Allison said.

Vanna thought that Allison might be a little over anxious.

"You seem a little off." Vanna said.

Allison couldn't help but look at Vanna's breasts.

"Seeing those two wet spots on the front of your shirt is doing that to me." Allison said.

Vanna felt she didn't have a lot of control over that. It was all sort of a reaction.

"That started when we were talking with CamNet." Vanna said. "I ran out of tissues."

Allison watched what happened in the bunker.

"I saw CamNet look at the spots as they grew." Allison said.

Vanna hadn't expected what CamNet would ask for.

"It surprised me that she asked to examine a sample of the 'fluid'." Vanna said. "I told her what it was."

Allison watched CamNet rub the drop of liquid between her thumb and index finger several times.

"I think she tasted the sample." Allison said.

Vanna thought that she would but it wasn't her observation.

"I didn't see her." Vanna said. "She may have."

Allison thought it would have been appropriate if CamNet had tried it.

"If she did, that may have been her first example of food." Allison said. "There is a certain poetic justice to that if you think about it. It is what a human baby would first have as nourishment."

Vanna reached down and cupped her breasts through her top.

"I would have let her try more if she'd asked." Vanna said. "Maybe I should have offered."

Allison and Vanna both thought it would have been hot to watch CamNet suckle on Vanna.

Allison was a little worried about Precious.

"Now that we've discussed it, maybe we better go check on Precious first." Allison said.

Vanna was very careful to make sure Precious could be taken care of if necessary.

"You know I called twice." Vanna said. "Jesse and Riley said everything was covered."

Allison did note Vanna's concern.

"I heard." Allison said. "Precious comes before us."

Vanna felt her motherly instincts call to her.

"OK. We will go check on Precious first." Vanna said. "She does come before anything else."

CamNet sat and watched all her monitors as well as reviewed all the information being run through the supercomputers.

She really wondered why she'd 'invited' Allison and Vanna to come and see her. It was more than being lonely. It was something else. She possessed all the information and files on them as well as all the 'interactions' of them with any of the Terminators. Those files were quite extensive among all the female Terminators except for Anna and Cameron. There were all the video files and surveillance footage.

She wanted to see how they compared to Savannah and Young Allison. They were the same individuals, just from different timelines. She possessed all the files on the Duplicate girls, as well as Future Savannah and Future Allison. She was also intrigued by River. She would want to meet with her when she visited again. She wanted a DNA sample from her. She thought Cameron possessed one but it was kept masked from her if she did.

CamNet looked at the DNA and genetic codes of all the girls and their offspring. She needed to think about what she could do with all this information. There were so many possibilities and at the same time there were none. She would wait for Savannah to visit her again. There was so much to teach and so much more to learn.

The blank look on her face never changed unless she thought of Savannah or Young Allison. She knew Cameron was foolish if she thought she could 'keep' them for herself. It was clear that Savannah expanded beyond Cameron's control as soon as she became sexually active. Young Allison would follow Savannah's lead and Cameron would lose control of her too. Was very aware that Young Allison wanted to start sexual relations with others. She knew that Young Allison experimented with herself multiple times a day. It was mostly at night but it happened during the daytime as well.

It was evident to CamNet that love was an unseen powerful force that didn't physically exist but was as real as anything that did physically exist. It could even be stronger with any physical manifestation.

She was able to watch and learn from the human girls. There were two types of ways that they could share their bodies. One was for pure sexual gratification and the stimulation that it produced with a climatic finish. The other way that the girls shared their bodies was through love. Even though the acts were the same, they weren't always done in the same way or manner. There was more emotion and inner feeling that was shared during the times of love making. She wanted those experiences for herself. She wanted to know both types of sexual physical manifestation.

Vanna and Allison headed for Riley's room and knocked.

Derek opened the door.

Greetings were exchanged, Vanna and Allison entered.

Riley came out to see them.

"Precious is asleep now." Riley said.

"Do you and Derek want to go out?" Vanna asked. "You can go somewhere. Bob is available."

Now that she was there, Vanna wanted to take care of Precious.

Derek felt more than a little cooped up.

"I'd like to get out for a while." Derek said.

Riley felt bad about herself and it seemed like she monopolized everyone's time. She saw that as an extension of her own failures. She wanted everyone else to have a good time.

"You can go out with Claire and Jesse." Riley said. "Maybe I need to stay."

Vanna could tell that Riley was plagued with guilt. She didn't think that was the way that a new mother should feel. She wanted Riley to know why they were there.

"We're here to help you." Vanna said. "Please, I enjoy doing this."

Allison suddenly felt overwhelmed. She didn't know why. She wasn't even going to do anything. She excused herself into the new room addition.

She sure hoped Vanna did enjoy taking care of an infant. She was going to need all the help she could get with her baby. She just knew it. She felt overwhelmed just thinking about it. She could understand Riley's condition. She really wondered how Future Allison and Duplicate Allison were able to handle the infants that they had. She figured if Duplicate Allison could do it that she should be able to do it as well since they were the same identical person. If Duplicate Allison had trouble, it would most likely mean that she wouldn't be able to do it either. It was a very unsettling thought.

Allison called her mother.

"Mom, where are you?" Allison asked.

Claire was a little surprised at the call.

"I'm in the recreation room." Claire said. "Is everything alright? Jesse is here with me and the girls, Summer and Jan."

Allison explained they wanted to let Riley and Derek go out for a while.

Claire watched Vanna before and could see she was comfortable and caring with an infant.

"Vanna will be able to handle it." Claire said. "She's a natural. She'll make an excellent mother."

Alison couldn't help but notice her mother didn't mention her in that statement.

"I don't think I can." Allison said.

Claire was a little worried at the direction the conversation had taken.

"Is there some problem?" Claire asked. "I want you to be honest."

Allison remembered Vanna just asked her those same questions a few minutes ago.

"I don't know." Allison said. "I'm in the new room on their east side."

Claire was more than a little worried about her daughter at this point.

"I'm on my way." Claire said.

Claire looked at Summer and Jan.

"I need you two girls to finish studying and then you can have some free time." Claire said.

Claire took Jesse out of the room.

"Are any of the Metal girls back yet?" Claire asked.

Jesse had only seen male Terminators at the base recently. She picked up right away that there might be some type of a problem.

"I don't think so." Jesse said. "Is everything alright?"

Claire hoped so. She knew that Allison could be moody at times. She knew her hormone levels were in flux. In her case it probably was more so than for another female during a normal pregnancy. She knew that Allison suffered from the problems of the future and that they affected her.

"I don't know." Claire said. "Quietly bring John Henry to the new room on the east side of Riley's room."

I Didn't Need Any Help

Where were you
When I needed you the most
You abandoned me
You vanished like a ghost

As my life fell apart
Away from me you turned
Discarded in an instant
Forsaken as my world burned

I don't know what was worse
Being treated like crap
Flushed so easily away
Or being made to feel like scrap

Soon it was I
That was being neglected
After it was you
I had always protected

The hurt you caused me
Made me sad and yelp
I survived by without you anyway
I didn't need any help

Nobody
