Chapter 1061
Anything
John Henry received a report from one of the secure locations where the captured equipment was taken for evaluation and inspection. He was a little surprised at the suddenness of it. There hadn't been any advance warning.
"John, one of the hard drives we were able to salvage from the Fanatics has produced a lead." John Henry said.
John had only been in the Command Center for a few minutes. The timing of the information seemed a little strange to him. He wondered if someone sat on the information until he was 'finished' with Cameron.
"Do you mean just now?" John asked.
John Henry was aware that quite a bit of time and effort needed to be spent on each of the damaged hard drives to retrieve any information off of them.
"Yes." John Henry said. "The Fanatics tried to erase, damage or destroy them. It has taken a while to get all the information."
John wondered what they'd uncovered. He knew the lead could be a dead end or turn into a major operation. The Fanatics were the deadliest of the groups associated with Skynet that they'd dealt with. They would always kill themselves with poison or with an explosion rather than betray their god, SkyMaster.
"What is it and where does it lead?" John asked. "Does Cameron know about this?"
John Henry only just received the initial report.
"I don't have any of those answers." John Henry said.
John wondered if that's where Cameron had gone. He last saw her outside of Savannah's room on the security feed.
"Where's Cameron at right now?" John asked.
John was afraid she would act on her own to go after the Fanatics. He was aware that she would always personally go after the anti-Metal faction.
Savannah still held CamNet's hand on her heart. She'd slid it mostly over her left breast at this point.
"What would you like to do?" Savannah asked. "You are the decider."
Savannah reached up and moved the hair off of the side of CamNet's face with her other hand.
"I don't know…." CamNet said.
Savannah's face was only inches away from CamNet's face currently.
"I'm here now and we can do anything you want to do." Savannah said.
CamNet shifted a little.
"Anything?" CamNet asked.
Savannah moved closer to CamNet. She wanted to make it clear that she was 'available' and willing.
"Anything." Savannah said.
CamNet knew Savannah would do anything to protect Young Allison. She didn't want to make Savannah feel obligated to act or respond if she didn't want to.
"Is 'anything' something that you want to do?" CamNet asked. "Or something you feel you 'have' to do?"
Savannah moved CamNet's hand to the back of her neck. She didn't want there to be any doubt on her part as to why she was there and what she was willing to do.
"I'm here by my choice." Savannah said. "I promised to be here for you and I promised to protect Young Allison. I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to be."
CamNet scanned Savannah. She checked on the baby too.
"I know of all the special things you've done." CamNet said. "I watched Young Allison and you earlier."
Savannah stopped by to see CamNet previously.
"You also know I came here first." Savannah said.
CamNet did know that.
"Why?" CamNet asked.
Savannah kept CamNet's hand on her neck.
"You're isolated, even if you're everywhere." Savannah said. "Your physical presence and electronic presence are two different things, even if they are connected."
CamNet looked around. She looked over at her server.
"You freed me from that metal box." CamNet said.
Savannah noticed what CamNet looked at. She felt justified in what she'd done to give CamNet a chassis. She'd been with Cameron several times when a version of Skynet was terminated. Skynet was trapped inside of its metal coffin with no way to escape. She didn't want that same fate to befall CamNet.
"I wanted you to have more mobility and freedom." Savannah said. "I wanted to protect you. I didn't want you trapped here or unable to defend yourself or be able to escape."
CamNet thought that was very far thinking and it did help to protect her.
"You're very protective of the ones you love." CamNet said.
Savannah felt it was a little more involved in CamNet's case. It was about survival as much as it was about love.
"It's what I feel I must do." Savannah said. "That's why I've also given you the option to have mobility."
CamNet was aware that Savannah also gave her the ability to have sensation and feeling. Savannah made it so that she could be alive. She'd given her a chassis and she'd given her a heart. So far she'd shown a lot of restraint with her chips.
"Do you worry I may seek 'more'?" CamNet asked.
Savannah was more concerned than she was worried. She believed that CamNet would operate within the established guidelines. At least for now she believed that she would. Going forward for the long term was still up in the air.
"We all seek more at times." Savannah said. "We also all know our place and our duty."
CamNet glanced over at her server. Is that what Savannah just reminded her of? She wanted to know how Savannah fit into everything in her own view.
"What's your place and duty?" CamNet asked.
Savannah felt she knew exactly what her long term goal was. She'd known it ever since she was a child. She was never able to forget it. Every morning when she woke up it was always fresh in her mind.
"It's to protect John, Cameron, Young Allison, the future and YOU." Savannah said.
CamNet could see that was Savannah's life story. It was her history as well as her current story.
"You've done and do all of those things." CamNet said. "It seems more like a Terminator should be the one to do all of those things."
Savannah felt there were plenty of Terminators. A Terminator wasn't always the right choice for every job. Some jobs required finesse.
"Protecting all of those things requires more than brute force alone at times." Savannah said.
CamNet pondered that. She thought about some of the actions taken by Savannah as well as Young Allison. There were things that were done that hadn't been done by a machine. She was aware that Derek and Kyle also contributed things that weren't considered by a Terminator out in the field. There did appear to be a place for human input. She was aware that Cameron sought out that input whatever she could from Savannah. She understood that better now. She appreciated that same input from Young Allison. She decided to move things along.
"Will you help me with my new outfit?" CamNet asked.
Savannah looked at the tether connected to the back of CamNet's neck.
"I'll need to unplug you." Savannah said. "Is that acceptable to you?"
CamNet was aware that once she was unplugged that Savannah could prevent her from being plugged back in. She could remove her chassis and take it away with her. She could order her to open the blast doors and roll her chassis away. It would leave her trapped in a metal box again. In a metal coffin. She understood the importance of several human traits. One of them was love, another one was trust.
"I trust no one more than you." CamNet said. "I trust you with my existence. I owe you my existence in this form."
CamNet also trusted Young Allison but she didn't think now was the time to mention that.
Savannah kept CamNet's hand firmly on her neck. She wanted to make her position perfectly clear. She'd done the same thing with Cameron before as well.
"I'll never harm you." Savannah said.
CamNet was aware of some of the problems Cameron experienced. She knew that Cameron tried to terminate John. She was also aware in the future that sometimes a Terminator went bad. No one knew why. It was always a possibility. It was actually something that every Terminator worried about.
"What about if I go 'bad'?" CamNet asked.
Savannah would try to prevent that from happening.
"Then I'll come to you and help you find your love for everyone and for me." Savannah said. "I'll come to you and bring you back."
CamNet knew things could be a little worse in the way they played out.
"What if I try to kill you?" CamNet asked.
Savannah knew that life was about choices. A lot of it also was about what someone believed in. Many patriots believed in their country and were willing to die for it.
"Then I'll die doing what I believe in." Savannah said. "I'll die trying to protect the ones I love, even if it's from themselves."
CamNet moved her hand away from Savannah's neck. She was moved by the conviction and beliefs that Savannah held. She was honest, true and pure in what she spoke of. She looked at Savannah and knew she was a special person.
CamNet took one step back to undress. She started to unbutton her top.
She looked into Savannah's eyes as she did.
CamNet took her top off. Savannah took it from her and folded it. She removed her pants. Savannah took those and folded them as well. She now wore only her bra and underwear.
Savannah waited for her to finish undressing. Nothing happened. She decided to prompt CamNet.
"Do you wish to wear your new purple under garments?" Savannah asked.
There was some hesitation.
"Yes." CamNet said.
Maybe CamNet wanted privacy.
"I can turn away." Savannah said. "I don't need to watch you or look at you when you don't want me to. I'll respect your wishes. I'll also respect your desires. "
CamNet quickly reached out and took Savannah's hand as if to reassure her.
"No." CamNet said. "I don't want you to turn away. I want you to see me. I want you to see all of me."
CamNet reached back, unhooked her bra and removed it . She stood topless in front of Savannah. So far nothing was sexual. It was on the brink of doing so. There was a lot of sexual tension in the air.
Savannah was aroused by the visual display. She always thought that view was beautiful. It didn't matter if it was an 'Allison' or one of the machines that looked like Allison.
"You're very beautiful." Savannah said.
CamNet looked at Savannah's blue eyes, red hair and her pretty face.
"Thank you." CamNet said. "You are as well."
Savannah thought she was just average. She believed that Cameron and by extension CamNet were much more beautiful than she was.
"Thanks." Savannah said. "I'll never be as beautiful as you."
CamNet's eyes look at Savannah from head to toe and back again.
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." CamNet said. "Beauty can be found elsewhere in an individual as well. You possess multiple types of beauty."
CamNet removed her underwear. She stood there naked facing Savannah.
Savannah was highly aroused.
CamNet was naked and ready, right in front of her. She was ready for her first sexual experience.
Savannah wanted to make sure and give CamNet a choice.
"What now?" Savannah asked. "What do you want to do next?"
CamNet wanted Savannah to touch her.
Savannah could see that CamNet was ready for more. So was she.
CamNet knew what she wanted. She wasn't really sure how to proceed. She'd never done this before. She knew what needed to be done. She was just a little unsure how start.
Sheila and Ally were in the lab. Cammy had been there earlier but left. They continued working after Cammy was gone.
Ally looked up when the door to the lab opened.
Cammy entered the lab.
Ally was a little surprised at who it was.
"I thought you were going to see Savannah." Ally said.
Cammy frowned. Things worked out a little bit differently than she'd planned on.
"She's not here." Cammy said.
Ally and Sheila looked at each other.
Sheila wondered if Savannah was with Cameron. She didn't want to ask a specific name, just in case it was.
"Where is she, love?" Sheila asked.
Cammy didn't see any point avoiding the truth.
"Savannah is with CamNet." Cammy said.
Ally wondered why Cammy hadn't gone to Cameron's base to be with her.
"Aren't you going to go to her?" Ally asked.
Cammy made a face at Ally's question.
"I don't know." Cammy said. "Maybe they're sharing."
Ally thought Cammy should find out. It did no good to speculate.
"Maybe they're not." Ally said.
Cammy wondered if Savannah would be with CamNet to 'punish' her for being with someone else. Savannah was aware of what she'd done with Sheila and how far she'd taken it. It was well past what any human could do for her or to her.
"I wasn't available when she wanted to go." Cammy said. "I think she's with CamNet. I think they are sharing."
Sheila cared deeply about Cammy. She wanted to back her up and help her out.
"We can go with you." Sheila said. "You don't need to go alone if you don't want to. We'll be there for you. I'll be there for you, Cammy."
Cammy wasn't really sure if she wanted to know the answer.
"I don't know." Cammy said. "Maybe one of you should go instead."
Both Ally and Sheila could see Cammy was conflicted.
"I'll go." Ally and Sheila said at the same time.
Cammy knew Savannah was with both of them many times.
"You both want Savannah too." Cammy said.
Sheila didn't see it as a big deal. Everyone was with everyone else. She didn't want it to be a problem.
"You know we have both been with her." Sheila said.
Cammy was aware that Savannah was very promiscuous. She understood that was the nature of every 'Savannah Weaver'. She didn't have a problem with it.
"She told me." Cammy said. "She's been with everyone I think."
Sheila wanted to point out the obvious.
"We all have, love." Sheila said. "You too."
Ally could tell that Cammy wanted to go. They could go with her or they could go without her. It was her choice.
"Let's all go over there." Ally said. "Or just Sheila and I can go."
Cammy thought it would be better if all three of them went.
"Let me help you finish up here." Cammy said.
Cammy wasn't in a hurry to go. If Savannah was with CamNet she wanted to allow them some time so they could spend it together. She knew that it wasn't her place to question Savannah or what Savannah did or who she did it with.
Claire and Hanna were almost dressed.
Hanna touched the area of the incision where her heart was now located.
"This is the most special day ever." Hanna said. "I'll do anything for you."
Claire didn't want to take the credit for something that she hadn't done entirely on her own. She wanted Hanna to know the truth.
"Savannah and Allison, My Allison, helped me do this for you." Claire said. "I didn't do it on my own. Now that I think about it, I probably should have."
Hanna pushed gently on her sheath to feel her heart inside of her. She knew that the girls were the greatest.
"It was still you who gave me my heart." Hanna said. "They're really special girls."
Claire thought about Future Savannah and Future Allison.
"I know." Claire said. "They are in any future."
Hanna gave Claire a deep kiss.
"Thank you." Hanna said.
Claire was very grateful to Savannah and Young Allison for this special time.
Hanna was very grateful for what Claire had given her and put inside of her. She thought it was OK if she'd received some help. It was still Claire who put her heart in her. That was all that really mattered. Claire gave her a heart. Her heart belonged to Claire.
Jesse and Gail were naked.
Gail still found it hard to believe what actually happened. She reached her hand up to touch herself.
"I feel complete now." Gail said as she touched her incision. "I'll do anything you want, Jesse."
Jesse liked that statement. She also wanted to be honest. She didn't want to take credit for what someone else had actually done for her. She thought it might be important to Gail as well.
"Savannah and Young Allison gave it to me to give to you." Jesse said. "They made it possible for us to do this."
Gail thought about that.
"I wish Savannah would have stayed." Gail said.
Jesse asked Savannah and Young Allison to stay with her as she gave the heart to Gail. Savannah made it very clear that she was to do it without them. She wasn't really sure why.
"Savannah said it was supposed to be about us." Jesse said. "She was with her mate, her future mate."
Gail looked at the photos in the locket and made a different selection.
"I changed the photos." Gail said.
Jesse hoped that her photo wasn't replaced. She decided not to ask. If it was her that was moved, she didn't want to know.
"I figured you would." Jesse said.
Gail could see that Jesse looked more than a little nervous. She wanted to ease her mind.
"I replaced Duplicate Jesse's photo with Savannah's photo." Gail said.
Jesse wasn't surprised to hear that. She was glad it wasn't her photo that was replaced. It still made her feel a little uneasy. Duplicate Jesse was still her.
"Is that what your heart is really telling you?" Jesse asked.
Gail was very conflicted in what she felt. She could see that Jesse was worried.
"Maybe I should change it back to the way Savannah gave it to you to give to me." Gail said.
Savannah provided them with options.
"It's your heart." Jesse said. "You can select who you want."
Gail wondered what Jesse really felt.
"What's in your heart?" Gail asked.
Jesse looked at Gail and smiled.
"Blood." Jesse said.
Gail showed a small frown.
"You know what I mean." Gail said.
Jesse wanted to give Gail some reassurance.
"You are, love." Jesse said.
Gail knew it was more than that.
"Who else besides Cameron and Savannah?" Gail asked.
Jesse used to keep her heart closed. Cameron and the girls pried it open.
"Everyone is." Jesse said. "I love all the girls."
Gail wanted a more specific answer.
"You know what I mean." Gail said.
Jesse stated the obvious ones. They were the ones that she was most often with.
"Vanna, Allison and Claire." Jesse said.
Gail felt there was one name missing. She thought that it mattered.
"What about Riley?" Gail asked.
Jesse was more than a little nervous about that question. That was something that just happened on its own. She took it for what it was. It was a young and willing female. What more could she ask for?
"That was mostly for sex and fun." Jesse said. "You know we all love Riley, it's just different."
There was always one worry in the back of Gail's mind. It was actually a big worry.
"What about Derek?" Gail asked.
Jesse felt very uneasy now. She was sure that Gail was worried about being replaced. She believed it was all yesterday's news.
"We've been over this many times. I don't like talking about that." Jesse said. "What are you really after?"
Gail wanted the truth. She wanted an answer. She didn't know how to determine something specific and it bothered her. She thought that Jesse might know the answer. Maybe there was no answer.
"How do you know when it's the 'one'?" Gail asked.
Jesse smiled. There was no such thing that she'd ever found.
"You don't." Jesse said. "It always will change at some point. Things change and people change. I'm in a different timeline now. There are two Duplicates of me and a younger version of me. There is even a Metal version of me."
Jesse was also aware that Future Jesse might be out there somewhere as well. If she was, she was in their current timeline. She didn't believe she had access to a TDE.
Gail felt something inside of her. It seemed very troubling for her to think about it. She was a Terminator. She liked things to be cut and dried. Issues dealing with love we're never cut and dried.
"So no matter how much you love someone, you can always love someone else even more." Gail said.
Jesse experienced many people come and go, some quite literally.
"That's been my experience, many times over." Jesse said.
Gail was aware that many individuals believed that love was singular. That wasn't her personal experience. There were multiple individuals that she felt that way about. The feeling was just stronger for some than it was others.
"Can you love two people the same?" Gail asked. "Can you love more than two people?"
Jesse knew these feelings could be very confusing at times. There were times when she'd been involved with multiple individuals both male and female. Those were some wild times. Her private parts really got a work out during those time periods.
"Yes." Jesse said. "I've loved more than one person the same, at the same time. You can also care for some more than others, which could also be love."
Gail felt a little more confident in her feelings now. Jesse was able to clear a few things up for her. She appreciated her assistance.
"Thank you for explaining." Gail said.
Jesse tried to give her best opinion but she knew she wasn't an expert on it. If anything she was far from that.
"Anything for you, love." Jesse said.
Gail still wanted a three way with Jesse and Savannah. She knew the only thing better than that was a four way with Young Jesse thrown in the mix. Just the thought of that aroused her greatly.
Cam was thrilled about the heart that Vanna gave to her.
Vanna gave Cam a kiss as they dressed.
Cam was still very excited. That kept Vanna in a state of arousal.
"This is my most special day ever." Cam said.
Vanna wanted to make it known that she'd received assistance.
"Savannah and Young Allison made it happen." Vanna said. "They were the ones who were behind it."
Cam smiled as she thought about the 'Chosen Ones'.
"They're very thoughtful and understanding." Cam said.
Vanna felt guilty about something.
"I thought about it before but I never did it." Vanna said. "That's my fault."
Cam saw it differently.
"You still gave it to me and put it inside of me." Cam said. "You let me choose the photos myself."
Vanna didn't see how Cam arranged them. Cam didn't tell her either. She wanted to ask but figured Cam would mention it at some point. She knew it was Cam's heart and she could choose how she wanted it to be. She hoped her photo was still in the front somewhere. She didn't know and she wasn't going to ask.
"We should celebrate." Vanna said.
Cam tilted her head slightly.
"I thought we just did." Cam said.
Vanna smiled to herself with that thought. It wasn't what she'd meant though.
"I mean with some of the others." Vanna said.
That sounded like a good idea to Cam. She knew who she wanted to come.
"Can it be with Savannah and Young Allison?" Cam asked.
Vanna thought that was a good idea. Young Allison and Savannah were the ones who made it all happen.
"Sure." Vanna said. "That's if they aren't busy."
Vanna knew that Cam and Cammy 'traded places' occasionally. She was never able to tell them apart. Savannah always knew somehow. They'd tried to fool Savannah a few times. It never worked. They always seemed to fool her. Cam even put her chip in Cammy's second port and controlled Cammy's chassis. Savannah could still tell.
Cam didn't want any hard feelings. She didn't want Vanna to feel second rate.
"Maybe I shouldn't bother them." Cam said.
Vanna still wanted to do something.
"We can go out." Vanna said.
Cam kissed Vanna.
"I'll do anything you want." Cam said.
Cam was pleased that she now had a heart. She was always a little jealous that Cameron did and she didn't. Now she was the same. She was very satisfied with the way everything worked out and everyone that was behind it.
Holly looked thrilled. She touched her incision and smiled as she looked at Allison.
Allison kissed Holly's incision.
"There." Allison said. "That will make it all better now."
Holly didn't see how. It would most likely induce germs on a human to do that. She needed to refocus. She was happy and excited about what Allison did for her.
"This is my most beautiful day ever." Holly said.
Allison knew she'd been able to provide Holly with some of those days over the years.
"You've experienced a few of those days." Allison said.
Holly tilted her head slightly. Allison shared many things with her.
"I guess I have." Holly said.
Allison wanted to give credit where credit was due.
"Savannah and Young Allison made this possible." Allison said.
Holly smiled as she thought about them.
"The 'Chosen Ones' are very wise." Holly said.
Allison wondered about something, especially when she saw CamNet.
"Am I a 'Chosen One' too?" Allison asked.
Holly paused for a few seconds before she spoke. She's been over this issue with Allison before. She didn't want to make Allison feel any less than she actually was. She was very pleased about the heart that she'd received from Allison even if she received some assistance. She chose her words carefully.
"Yes and no." Holly said. "Vanna and you are from the 'Chosen Ones' but from a different future. The true 'Chosen Ones' exist in this timeline and are from this timeline."
Allison wanted to know what the difference was specifically.
"Is it because they'll be with Cameron and John?" Allison asked.
Holly thought about the personal commitment on the part of all of the Terminators and other machines as well as CamNet.
"That's part of it." Holly said. "The machines will follow the 'Chosen Ones' in the future."
Allison didn't know if that was true or not. Things could change. People could change. Events could change. The future wasn't written in stone, even if it already happened.
"You don't know that for sure." Allison said.
Holly wasn't sure it mattered going forward. That's the way things were currently.
"I know it to be true now." Holly said.
Allison developed a far off look in her eyes. She thought about 'what if'. She thought it was a little ironic about what she felt.
"Sometimes I wish I could be Young Allison again." Allison said.
She'd like to be Young Allison and Young Allison would like to be her.
Holly didn't want Allison to feel bad about anything. She was the one that she held dear in her heart.
"Allison, YOU are the 'Chosen One' for me." Holly said. "I'll do anything for you, whatever it is."
Allison looked at Holly with love in her eyes and in her heart.
"You're my 'Chosen One' too." Allison said.
They both knew Vanna was really Allison's 'Chosen One'.
The moment was theirs now, so they shared it.
Anna was thrilled when she saw what Young Allison was going to do for her. She wanted to be more than topless when Young Allison put her heart in but she didn't take her pants off.
Young Allison made sure that when she made the incision that she touched everything that there was to touch on Anna. She also kissed the incision when she put the two sutures in.
Anna hugged Young Allison and wanted to kiss her.
"I would kiss you but I can't." Anna said.
Young Allison wanted to change her order.
"I can always change my order." Young Allison said.
Anna frowned.
"Not unless Savannah and you do it together." Anna said.
Young Allison still wanted that kiss.
"I can still kiss you can't I?" Young Allison asked.
That thought made Anna wonder about something.
"I think you already did…." Anna said.
Young Allison kept her face neutral.
"Maybe I did." Young Allison said. "Maybe I didn't."
Anna did think that Young Allison was going to go for a little more than she was allowed at one point. Young Allison's lips ended up lower than she thought they were going to go. That was OK.
"I did allow you to kiss my heart." Anna said. "I thank you for that."
They were both aware that Young Allison touched 'the twins' everywhere as she put the heart in.
"You know that was something that my mom always did whenever Summer or I got hurt with a scrape or a cut when we were younger." Young Allison said.
Anna needed to move when Young Allison tried to kiss 'more' near her new heart.
Young Allison wanted to be truthful to Anna about some things.
"Savannah picked your heart out for me." Young Allison said. "She did it for me."
Anna wondered why Savannah didn't stay with them. She realized now why Savannah left the room. It was her way to silently let them know that they could do a 'little bit more' on this occasion than they could normally do. She wondered if maybe she should ask Young Allison to kiss her incision again. She would let her touch everything and kiss whatever she wanted for a few seconds.
"She is very understanding and knowing." Anna said. "She's your mate. You will always come first to her."
Young Allison felt Anna was special. It was because of her program and what all was on it.
"You're 'Savannah' and 'Cameron'." Young Allison said. "It makes us more special."
Anna smiled at Young Allison.
"You know I'll do anything for you." Anna said.
Young Allison looked at Anna's topless figure.
"Will you violate my order?" Young Allison asked.
Anna looked at Young Allison and smiled.
"Maybe I already have…." Anna said. "Remember, I don't sleep."
Young Allison looked confused. Some of her dreams seemed so real.
"Now who has to wonder?" Anna asked as she laughed. "Why don't you give my incision another kiss so it will heal even quicker."
Young Allison's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open a little bit.
"May I?" Young Allison asked.
Anna smiled at Young Allison.
"I believe on this occasion it is warranted." Anna said. "A few seconds won't hurt anything but that's all the time you'll have. Make the most of it. I'll enforce your order in twenty seconds."
Cameron was on her way to get Young Allison, Vanna and Allison when she received the alert from CamNet about the Fanatics.
"Damn." Cameron said.
The timing wasn't lost to her. This looked like CamNet's manipulation.
Anything
Is the power of love
Stronger than anyone may think
Will it grow and expand
Or will it wither and shrink
When the pendulum swings
Which way will it go
Will things develop quick
Or will they move slow
No one knows the answer
Everything remains a mystery
Will a new chapter be written
Or regulated to history
People still strive and seek
As to what's behind the curtain
The answer to that question
Always remains uncertain
No one knows for sure
What the future will bring
They should be prepared
For nothing to anything
Nobody
