Chapter 1144
Not Liquid Metal
John and Cameron were alone in the Owner's Suite.
Cameron was pleased for her alone time with John in the current setting. They were seldom together in the brightness of daylight. John was able to see all of her with everything well lit. She knew it excited him. It excited her to feel him become excited. It pleased her greatly to have him want her. She didn't really care what he wanted her for, other than the fact that he wanted her.
Once John was ready, she took over and did everything. She was on top. They were six minutes into the current part of their love making. She could see he was almost 'there'. She increased everything some more. It did the trick. She was pleased when John finished. She liked to increase his pleasure. She didn't slow and continued until he physically stopped her. It was too intense for him if she didn't stop. She wasn't restricted in that capacity as he was. From her observations of all of the human females as well, they could continue on and experienced multiple finishes with whatever they were doing when they finished. The female body was clearly superior in all regards.
Cameron wanted to stretch out and not be too heavy on him. She rolled over on the big bed as she brought John with her. He was now on top of her. She wanted a nice platform for him to rest on. She believed her sheath could provide him with a very pleasant place to relax on. She took him in a deep kiss.
It took a long moment for John's head to clear. Cameron had just pleased tell him immensely.
"Wow!" John finally managed to say.
Cameron was very satisfied with the results. She wanted John to have the best time ever in his life. She wanted to share with him as much as possible.
"It's only five more times to go today." Cameron said with a smile.
John swallowed hard. He would have thought the time they'd shared after midnight would have counted for today. He decided not to say anything. There was no need to short change himself, or worse, and upset Cameron. He was aware that sometimes things could be interpreted differently. He seemed to run into that a lot. He wasn't really sure why. Things just happened that weren't always positive when they should have been.
John needed to think where he currently was at. They'd only been on the ship a very short time. They hadn't seen much of it yet at all. A short while before, they'd been on the freeway. Before that they'd still been at the Resistance base. It was like he was in a totally different world right now. He wanted to believe that he was in the world of normal people but he knew it wasn't the case. There was no normal for him. There was no normal for anyone in the Resistance. Where they were currently at now represented the top one percent of people. It was almost as if they'd skip normal and jumped to the elite. Right now Cameron was his focus. She'd just pleased him immensely.
"That was really something." John said. "You're really something, Cameron."
Cameron gave John another kiss. She started out very slow with the kiss and deepened it in a very loving way. She was very pleased with the results of her efforts. She wanted to remind him how special he was to her.
It saddened her some to know that they'd experienced a few rough spots along the way. Maybe they shouldn't matter. They were in the past. They were both where they were currently. She thought it was all that should matter. All couples experience problems from time to time. Everybody was different. Everybody was unique. Not everyone thought the same way all of the time. She was aware that she could please all the people some of the time and please some of the people all of the time, but she couldn't please all the people all of the time. It was what it was. It was just that simple. She wanted John to know how special he was to her.
"You're something too." Cameron said. "I love you, John."
John looked directly into Cameron's eyes.
"I love you too, Cameron." John said.
John looked over at the door to their bedroom. He was still a little worried about the close proximity of the other two Terminators that were there with them. He wasn't sure they would follow Cameron's directive and not listen to them together. Maybe it wasn't something he shouldn't worry about. They could do the same thing at the base anytime as well. The walls weren't that thick there either.
"Are Jim and Sheila still there?" John asked. "I mean in the extra bedroom?"
Cameron briefly listened. She was sure that they'd already left. She confirmed that they had.
"No, they're gone." Cameron said. "They needed to get ready for the other guests."
John was a little worried about that. He needed to remember that every person was an individual. Every individual was different. That applied to more than just their appearance as well. He didn't care to associate with strangers. He knew the ship was full of them. He hoped to remain secluded as much as possible to avoid most of them. He really wanted to stay clear of the 'blue bloods' that would surely be in the adjoining suite. He didn't want to seem rude but he was sure they existed on a completely different social level. He'd always been a misfit at school. He certainly didn't expect to do any better in the luxury suites of a cruise ship.
"I hope we can avoid them." John said. "I want to keep everything low key."
There were many options available to them.
Cameron didn't want John confined to the suite. It certainly was gigantic and provided them with many options but it wasn't her plan to keep him cooped up in that location for the entire week. He would need to get out and socialize a little bit, even if it was very limited. He didn't necessarily need to socialize but he would have to have some mild interaction with others at times.
"We can do room service." Cameron said. "We can avoid others as much as possible."
John would consider it. He also wanted to look around the ship. It seemed different and inviting. He'd watched all the videos that Savannah sent him and a few more on his own. The ship was big and he wanted to see all of it at some point. The ship in itself was an adventure waiting to happen. He hoped to be one passenger out of many that no one paid attention to. The main thing was to remain under the radar.
John frowned a little at his last thought. He'd always needed to remain under the radar. Sometimes he was a little more successful than other times. There were plenty of times where he didn't remain under the radar and it caused problems. His interaction with Future Riley and the events surrounding some of their adventures were proof of that. He didn't want to live in a shell or a cocoon. His life seemed to be based around that as it was. Cameron offered him the opportunity to experience a little more of the world and some of the finer things in life. He planned to take advantage of it.
"I want to look around the ship some and see everything." John said. "I want to see what else is out there."
Cameron wanted to show him. She was well acquainted with every feature of the ship. She possessed files from its initial construction, to its various upgrades over the years. Everything there was to know about the ship, she knew. She also knew that John meant more than that. He wanted to know about the human amenities.
"I know where everything is." Cameron said.
She knew there were a few surprises in store for him. She suppressed a giggle as she thought about some of them.
John wondered if maybe Cameron already did the trip. There were times when she'd been gone for days at a time. It usually wasn't weeks unless there was a problem. He figured she could have taken various segments of the trip at different times and put all the experiences together. He didn't want to make it seem like an accusation.
"Have you been on this ship before?" John asked.
Cameron tilted her head slightly. It was her first time on the ship too. She'd learned the layout through other means. She wanted to keep things simple.
"No." Cameron said. "I looked at all the blueprints and deck plans before we left."
John wondered about what all was available on the ship. He'd briefly looked at an informational paper in the room.
"I saw a little newspaper looking thing on the dresser." John said.
Cameron looked at it too. She was privy to what all of the upcoming events would be. She would also be able to have a certain amount of influence over some of them. It would all be done in the background as necessary. She wanted John to have the best experience possible.
"The little newspaper tells of all the daily activities on the ship." Cameron said. "There will be a new one that comes every night for the next day so we can plan our agenda. I want you to have the best experience possible."
John was very appreciative to hear Cameron's comments. He didn't want to be selfish. He felt he'd done plenty of that over the years already. It just seemed like things happened sometimes. He wanted Cameron to have a good experience as well. He wanted this trip to be about Cameron too.
"Plan us out some of the things you would like to do." John said. "I'm not the only one here. You're here as well."
Cameron smiled at John's thoughtfulness. She was aware he wasn't always thoughtful with some of his actions. She was still pleased that he thought about her. She wanted John to have a good time.
"I want this to be about you." Cameron said. "Your happiness and pleasure comes first.
John was a little self conscious with Cameron's statement. She'd been on top and did the majority of the work. No, she did all of the work. He didn't think he'd delivered for Cameron in bed.
"I think it just was." John said. "I don't think I got you there."
Cameron was aware from reading Cosmo that females didn't 'make it' as often as the males did. It wasn't even close. Some females never did at all through intercourse. She was pleased when John finished. She felt she'd done her part. She didn't need to finish every time, she wanted John to do that. She liked John to be happy. Sacrifice was the true test of love. Even if she only made it one out of every five times, she wasn't dissatisfied with the results for herself. As long as John was happy, she was happy.
She wanted to downplay the issue. There were a lot of times she didn't finish.
"To finish once a day is good enough for me." Cameron said. "You still have five more chances to get me there."
Cameron could always replay some of her previous files. She did sometimes but not often. They weren't the same as a new file. She would help herself out sometimes as well to make it. She really didn't like to do that either but she still seemed to do it a lot. Sometimes it was just easier to take care of things when she was alone. There were fewer distractions and it allowed her mind to drift wherever she wanted it to drift. She was aware that all of the human females from the future pleasured themselves frequently, even when there was other female companionship around to aid them. It included both humans and any of the Metal girls.
Vanna told her on more than one occasion it was always their own personal escape from the realities of life. It was only in those brief moments when they could escape the reality that surrounded them. It was also another reason why the girls from the future concentrated more on the result than they did the journey to reach the result. It pleased her immensely to know that Savannah was more concerned with the journey than the result. It was about the love to her, not the sex. There was a big difference, even if the end result was the same.
John glanced over at Cameron. He could tell she was lost deep in thought. He was going to ask her what was on her mind but somehow it didn't seem like a good idea. Maybe the best thing for them was to actually leave the suite and look around the ship a little. He'd previously viewed all the YouTube videos that Savannah sent him about the ship. There were a couple of places that stuck out in his mind.
"Can we check out the buffet?" John asked.
Cameron was surprised John was hungry already. Maybe he just wanted to see what was available. She hoped that he would actually prefer some of the finer eating establishments that were available on the ship. None of those were currently in service. They would need to go with the flow this early in the day. Currently there were several options available to them.
"The buffet will open in a few minutes." Cameron said. "The burger and pizza stations are open now near the pool. There's an ice cream station too. It's on the other side of the pool near the buffet."
John saw photos of the ship online. He remembered seeing four pools from an overhead shot. Some were larger than others. He didn't want to go in a pool right now but he would like to check them out. It briefly crossed his mind there may be scantily clad females lounging around some of the pools. Wait. Why did he think that? He was there with Cameron. He wanted to start a new adventure.
"What are we waiting for?" John asked. "I mean other than to get dressed that is."
Cameron wanted John to experience the fine dining. She didn't see why they couldn't kill a little time first.
"We can check out the main dining room for lunch after the burgers, pizza and buffet." Cameron said. "There's a lot available to you."
John did develop an appetite. He was aware that Cameron didn't need to eat. Sure she would try a taste of a few things every now and then but it wasn't the same thing as eating. He needed to eat to fuel his body. Her body was fueled by a power cell. Sometimes he needed to remember he was human and she was a machine, most of the time it was easy to forget. Still, he didn't like to seem indifferent or be rude. He always felt a little self conscious about his dietary needs.
"I'm already hungry." John said. "I feel bad about eating in front of you."
Cameron simply saw it differently. Her energy was derived from a power cell. John's was obtained through the consumption of organic matter. It was a different process for the same result. She thought her method was superior and a lot less messy. She figured she could give others something else to look at.
"Don't feel bad." Cameron said. "I'll dress appropriately so people will see why I don't eat much."
John looked at Cameron's trim, tight figure and very flat stomach. Her very appearance radiated beauty. The more of herself she showed, increased the beauty that was viewed.
"Your figure is hard to beat." John said. "Don't draw too much attention with something too skimpy."
Cameron wore clothes for the benefit of others. She was fine without them.
"We'll see." Cameron said.
Cameron looked over at the door to their bedroom.
"Get dressed." Cameron said. "I need to check on something."
Cameron walked out of the bedroom naked.
John watched her go and thought how beautiful she truly was. How could she be a machine? Any human female would die to look like her.
Cammy and Savannah were on their way to the port facility that was taken down the week before. They currently received some drone images. One of the drone images seemed to indicate there was something that was off.
Savannah could tell something was wrong by Cammy's demeanor. She wanted a better explanation and she wanted it immediately.
"Tell me what it is, Cammy." Savannah said.
Cammy was sure she'd spotted something that might be a problem.
"There's someone looking around in that area." Cammy said.
The current information set off an alarm for Savannah.
"Do you think they're a Gray or someone from the Syndicate?" Savannah asked.
Cammy would need to converse with them first before she could make a determination. She would most likely need to conduct a Terminator interrogation. It would be very violent and bloody rather quickly.
"I don't know yet." Cammy said. "I need to find out."
CamNet sent Savannah a close up image.
"I see them." Savannah said. "The drone camera is zoomed in now for me."
Cammy wanted a closer look without tipping their hand.
"We will just drive by the first time." Cammy said. "I'll assess the threat level."
Savannah checked her M9 and Taser. She screwed the silencer onto her M9.
It seemed like a good time to armor up to Savannah.
"I'll go in the back and get our vests." Savannah said.
Cammy didn't want to tip their hand yet. She didn't want them to get ahead of themselves.
"Not yet." Cammy said.
Savannah felt if they stayed in the SUV it wasn't a problem. No one would see them.
"They're fine to wear if we stay in the SUV." Savannah said.
Cammy wanted a closer look. She planned to do that. She wanted to do it as a 'lost teenager' first. She didn't want it to be a combat operation from the start.
"I may need to get out and investigate further." Cammy said.
Savannah wasn't going to let Cammy go out alone. She didn't want Cammy to pull a 'fast one'.
"I'm going with you." Savannah said.
Cammy needed to remind Savannah that she wasn't Cameron. She planned to use a little more finesse on her investigation. She was aware that she needed to consider Savannah as well.
"I'm not as reckless as Cameron." Cammy said.
Savannah knew how alike they were. Cammy was a clone of Cameron with a few modifications to her programming, most of it regarded John. She actually didn't think they were that much different in the way they acted on an operation.
"Really?" Savannah asked.
Savannah's statement made Cammy wonder about herself. She really hoped she wasn't a Bitch like Cameron was.
"Am I?" Cammy asked.
Savannah was aware of a lot of similarities.
"There's not a whole lot of difference on many things." Savannah said.
Cammy often shared Savannah's bed. She was very pleased the honor went to her instead of Cameron. It irritated her anyway to know that Cameron would soon try to take Savannah from her.
"I know one thing that's different." Cammy said.
Cammy looked at Savannah and winked.
Savannah smiled.
"I guess there is." Savannah said.
Savannah and Cammy were lovers and shared physically.
It hadn't happened with Cameron and Savannah yet. Everyone knew it was going to happen eventually. It was the 'Natural Order' after all.
Jim left to get the new guests for the Master Suite. He was distracted by Sheila's earlier antics. He needed to attend to the job at hand. They were there to safeguard John. It included Cameron by extension. There was also a function they needed to perform as part of the 'ship's crew'.
There was a special area for the VIP guests. He saw Bob was there already. He was aware Bob would run interference for them as much as possible. Bob would make sure everything happened smoothly and there were no problems. Any problem that was encountered, Bob could override it.
Bob spotted Jim.
"I've been waiting for you." Bob said.
Jim went as soon as he was notified.
"I came as soon as I received the message." Jim said.
Bob nodded and indicated a couple waiting nearby.
"I have the other two VIP guests for you." Bob said.
Since there were other workers around, Jim introduced himself as their room steward. He was a little surprised when he first saw them but quickly got over it. He took their carry on bags and escorted them up to the special suite area. He decided to keep everything professional until he delivered them to their suite.
"Your checked luggage should arrive shortly." Jim said. "This is your suite."
Jim led them inside the Master Suite. He hoped Sheila wasn't going to show off again.
He started to show them around their suite and bathroom area. They made it to the connecting bedroom and Sheila was inside. It was clear she was going to do the same thing she did to John and Cameron.
"This is your maid." Jim said.
Sheila faced away from them and bent over without looking at them yet. They were afforded the same view John and Cameron received. Everything was on display, rings and all.
Sheila looked back with a big smile on her face. It slowly faded away. She stood and turned around.
What Sheila saw was hard for her to believe.
"You've got to be kidding me." Sheila said.
Gail and Holly stood there. They both looked very indifferent to her antics.
"The view would have been more impressive if we hadn't seen it so many times before." Gail said. "It's nothing new to us."
Holly didn't get to see Sheila as often. Most of her time was spent in Palmdale as she watched over Allison. She was also pleased with the time she was able to spend with Claire and Hanna.
"I still liked it." Holly said. "Right now we're guests on the ship."
Sheila was very surprised to see them as apparent passengers.
"You two are the new arrivals?" Sheila asked.
Holly believed it should be apparent by their attire and carry on luggage.
"Yes." Holly said.
Sheila wondered why she needed to be part of the crew and not a 'guest' like Gail and Holly. She tried to wrap her head around everything. She definitely felt short changed.
"I have to wait on you two?" Sheila asked. "Why couldn't I be the guest?"
Jim didn't want any trouble.
"We don't make the assignments." Jim said.
He thought that Sheila should consider some of her earlier actions and be glad that she wasn't somewhere in the kitchen peeling potatoes and washing dishes or even worse, in the bottom of the ship cleaning the bilge.
Gail didn't think they would do much in the room except keep their clothes. She believed Holly and her were there for guard duty. They could take care of themselves and police their own area. It wasn't like they were there on vacation or something.
"We're very self sufficient." Gail said. "Your work will be minimal."
Holly explained what their assignment was. She didn't feel like they were there for fun or games either. They were there to provide a very important and specific function.
"We're to shadow John and Cameron around the ship." Holly said. "It's our function to make sure the General is as safe as possible.
Jim didn't want things to become a problem. He wanted them to know what the current scope of the operations were. He glanced at Sheila and then turned his attention to Gail and Holly.
"This door opens into John and Cameron's adjoining spare room." Jim said. "I'll open it from their side. All the computer gear is in there. It's the shipboard Control Center for our team."
Sheila produced a card key from somewhere in her skimpy outfit.
"I have my pass key." Sheila said.
Sheila opened the door.
Cameron stood there naked. She looked like she was ready for combat.
Holly and Gail peeked in but didn't enter. It seemed like a bad idea.
Cameron seemed as surprised as Sheila. She was aware there were other team members that would be on board the ship but she didn't believe they would be located in such close proximity to them. It appeared that someone pulled a fast one on her. She wondered if they got a good laugh out of it.
"You two are the other guests in the Master Suite?" Cameron asked.
It looked like the work of CamNet. She didn't want to jump to any conclusions. It could also be through some involvement with either Savannah or Young Allison.
Holly looked at Gail. She really didn't know what the problem was. It didn't seem like there was one to her. She wasn't sure why the others all seemed confused. She figured they would have worked everything out prior to their arrival.
"Yes. We were directed here by Bob and Jim." Holly said.
Cameron wanted to lay down some rules.
"You may use this room but you're not allowed to enter my main suite area." Cameron said. "I'll be in and out of here often."
Sheila looked forward to that if Cameron always arrived naked. She thought the view was rather impressive. It didn't matter how much she'd looked at Cam, Cammy, Ally or Allison.
"Will you have clothes on?" Sheila asked.
Cameron didn't care for the question. Clothing was irrelevant to a Terminator unless the mission called for it.
"I may have some clothes on sometimes." Cameron said. "I definitely won't always have them. You won't listen to what occurs in our suite."
Holly didn't want to upset Cameron. Their primary concern was the General.
"We're here to help protect John." Holly said. "We're not here to cause trouble."
Gail tried to diffuse the situation too.
"We know the rules." Gail said as she looked at Sheila. "That's even if some of us here don't seem to know them."
Cameron already devised a plan to deal with it. She wanted to make sure that some of the other options were understood by everyone.
"They can always use another dishwasher in the galley if it becomes a problem." Cameron said. "I can have Hanna here before we sail."
Sheila only wanted to have some fun and show off.
"It's no problem, love." Sheila said. "I like wearing this Hot outfit."
Gail did like the view Sheila presented.
"You do look very enticing in it." Gail said.
Sheila liked Jim's earlier idea. She would look much sexier with only half of the outfit on.
"Maybe I'll only wear the white part." Sheila said.
Gail and Holly knew at that point Sheila would almost be naked.
Cameron wanted order. She wanted everyone to know she wasn't fooling around. She wanted John protected at all times. She didn't want any unnecessary distractions.
"Let the hem out and wear the outfit properly." Cameron said. "I told you once already. Any clothing that's worn when the bilge is cleaned will simply need to be thrown away. Remember that."
Gail and Holly briefly considered Sheila cleaning the bilge in her current outfit.
Sheila thought she could get Cameron to see it her way. She believed she had something enticing to offer Cameron.
"I'll let you borrow it later on." Sheila said. "I'm sure John would like to see you in it or take it off of you…."
Cameron tilted her head slightly. She'd previously witnessed what John's response was to Sheila in the maid's outfit. She knew it would please him. Maybe she would borrow something else from Sheila while she was at it, her chassis. She planned to do that anyway at some point.
"Leave the hem in then." Cameron said. "Have it in my room after lunch."
Sheila liked her uniform.
"What will I wear then?" Sheila asked. "I can still clean in my 'built day' suit."
Cameron didn't want Sheila to walk around naked. It would certainly be an unnecessary distraction to everyone else.
"You have other uniforms." Cameron said. "Don't alter them."
Jim was a little concerned about the current circumstances. They hadn't been privy to all of the information as to who would be in the Master Suite previously. It would have changed how they'd set all the equipment up.
"We didn't know it was going to be Gail and Holly in this room or we would have set the gear up in their spare room to give John and you more privacy." Jim said.
Gail briefly looked over the equipment. It didn't seem like it would be much of a problem to move everything. There were four of them that would be able to assist.
"We can move it into our spare room." Gail said.
Holly looked over everything as well. She glanced towards the Owner's Suite.
"It won't take us long." Holly said. "It will give you one more layer of privacy."
Cameron was still naked. She wanted to make sure everyone understood the rules. She wanted to remind them that if John asked to be with them that they couldn't say 'no'. Somehow it didn't seem like the right time to refresh their memory.
"Do it." Cameron said. "This room will be off limits to everyone then, unless John invites you into our room."
Sheila glanced at Cameron's inner thighs.
"I just wanted to mention you have a very nice 'thigh gap'." Sheila said.
Jim could see Sheila was pushing it.
"Easy." Jim said. "This isn't the time or the place."
Jim made no effort to leave either. They all wanted to see Cameron naked. It wasn't often they were able to see her unclothed and without sheath damage of some type. Normally if they saw her naked, she was a bloody mess.
Cameron glanced down at her inner thighs.
"Maybe I do." Cameron said. "I have very good DNA."
Cameron thought Sheila might need to clean up when she returned her 'used' chassis to her later on. Maybe she wanted to 'punish' Sheila more than she wanted to allow John to experience her program in a virgin chassis. Maybe it was both. Either way, she planned to give Sheila's virginity to John as herself.
Cameron tried not to smile as she thought about what she planned for Sheila's chassis. She turned around to walk away.
Sheila was a little worried she'd overstepped. She knew that she was in trouble but she wasn't exactly sure how much trouble she was in. She wanted a heads up. Maybe she just wanted a little peace of mind.
"You're not calling Hanna are you?" Sheila asked.
Cameron exited the adjoining room to her suite and closed the door. She didn't say anything.
Jim looked at the door Cameron exited through and turned his attention back to Sheila.
"I think you blew it." Jim said.
The snide remarks still flowed out of Sheila's mouth.
"We could see Cameron didn't." Sheila said. "It was clear to me where she'd just taken it."
Sheila didn't know Cameron heard her last statement and made her decision final.
Cameron planned to use Sheila's chassis and take her virginity. John would have a virgin chassis with her program in it on their honeymoon. Sheila just 'volunteered' in her opinion. She wondered if John would touch her any differently. Since he always looked at everything on her sheath anyway, she was sure he would look at everything on Sheila's sheath even more as she controlled it. The smile on her face deepened as she went in search of John. It was going to be a very exciting cruise for the both of them. She really wondered what it was going to be like to be someone 'different' as she shared her love with John.
Cam previously shared with Hanna and Jesse. Jesse needed to leave to attend to Precious. She needed to return to the lab to assist Vanna. Ally arrived right before she'd left
She entered the lab.
Vanna was in there working.
"Hi, Cam." Vanna said. "I thought you were still here."
Cam didn't think it was a problem.
"Hello." Cam said. "I'm sorry I left."
Vanna figured where she was at. It was where they all liked to visit from time to time. She'd been with Claire shortly before as well.
"I only returned a few minutes ago. We all need to do things sometimes." Vanna said. "I don't mind, you know that."
Cam was always honest.
"I was with Jesse and Hanna." Cam said.
It wasn't a problem for Vanna.
"I was with Claire." Vanna said. "We all share."
Cam thought maybe she should just finish the job herself.
"I can finish this up myself." Cam said.
Vanna was actually a little surprised that Cam hadn't already done it.
"I thought you were going to do that earlier." Vanna said.
Cam felt a little embarrassed. She'd gotten caught up in events.
"I was." Cam said. "I will."
Vanna didn't want to make a big deal about it.
"It's not a problem." Vanna said. "Jan and Summer are going to stop by."
Cam always liked to work with the girls.
"When?" Cam asked.
Vanna glanced over at the clock. She didn't have a definite timeline.
"I don't know." Vanna said. "It will be soon, I think."
Cam wondered what she'd missed. She wondered if she'd been carried away and failed to complete a previous obligation. She checked her files but was unable to find anything.
"Do we need to help them with something?" Cam asked.
Vanna liked to work with Summer. Jan was often around much of the time anyway.
"No, they want to help us." Vanna said.
Cam liked the joyful atmosphere the girls radiated.
"Summer is very eager to learn things." Cam said.
Vanna was impressed with Summer's knowledge.
"It seems like she already knows half of them." Vanna said.
It made Cam think about Young Allison and her abilities.
"Her sister and her are very gifted." Cam said.
Vanna wondered about it sometimes.
"I'm sure they have plenty of help." Vanna said.
Cam didn't want to go there. Many of the human females were subjected to nightly 'conditioning' of various forms. It was doubtful anyone other than the Terminators would approve of such activity. It could be considered somewhat controversial by its very nature. She wanted to keep things simple.
"Help is a good thing." Cam said.
Vanna wanted to make a point.
"Unless there is too much of it provided to them." Vanna said. "They still need to be girls too and not be treated as a twenty five year old."
Vanna looked at Cam for a few seconds until Cam looked away.
Cam was pretty sure that the girls, at least Young Allison and Summer, were educated far beyond a twenty five year old.
Allison was in the Command Center with John Henry. They were able to view several different drone images. They currently observed what was happening at the port area where they'd conducted an operation the week before.
"I see someone down there." Allison said. "The drone camera is zoomed in on them now."
John Henry felt it was going to be bad news. There shouldn't be anyone in that location.
"It's a very disturbing discovery." John Henry said.
Allison wasn't exactly sure what the problem was.
"Why?" Allison asked.
John Henry was more than aware as to why it was a problem. The security they'd left behind never detected anyone. A current check of all their security equipment still didn't detect anyone being at that location, even though they clearly viewed an image of them.
"They bypassed the other security we set up." John Henry said. "It was only because the drone was there now that they were detected."
Allison looked alarmed. She didn't think there were too many types of individuals that would be able to defeat their security. They weren't exactly individuals either.
"They aren't Liquid Metal are they?" Allison asked.
Now John Henry looked really alarmed. He sent out a warning.
"That's currently unknown." John Henry said. "I need to make sure that everyone is alerted."
He was very concerned now that Cammy and Savannah could be about to face a serious threat. He quickly went over all of his security files several more times. There was still no indication that anyone had breached the perimeter. He looked at the drone images that were right in front of him. There was clearly someone there.
Savannah and Cammy spotted the intruder from the drone image.
Cammy did her 'drive by'. She didn't spot the person there when she'd passed by.
"I was unable to detect anyone." Cammy said.
Savannah didn't spot anything either.
"I don't see anyone." Savannah said.
Savannah looked at her phone now.
"They've moved away." Savannah said.
Cammy and Savannah both received a warning from the Command Center as well as one from CamNet. about possible Liquid Metal and that the individual avoided two levels of security to be where they were.
"It's not a good development." Cammy said.
Savannah climbed over the seat and into the back of the SUV in a flash. She quickly checked the weapons that were in the back of the SUV.
"One M4 has an M203 on it." Savannah said. "There are some acid rounds and four Thermite grenades."
Cammy knew the implication was for use against a Liquid Metal Terminator.
"I hope we won't need any of those." Cammy said.
Savannah started to get the weapons ready. She felt it was better to be safe than sorry.
"I'm moving everything to the back seat anyway." Savannah said. "I don't want to take any chances."
Cammy didn't know what would be involved.
"John Henry reports they defeated two layers of security and only the drone has detected them so far." Cammy said.
Cammy parked a block away. They were near the building the sniper was in.
Savannah was aware they often did surveillance on some of the previous locations they'd visited during the night. She didn't know if any of them were conducted at high altitude during the daytime. The drones that arrived to assist them were completely unplanned and showed up at random.
"They don't know the drone is there." Savannah said. "We can see what they're doing."
Cammy planned to apprehend them and beat a confession out of them if it was a person. She didn't say it that way.
"I'll need to speak with them." Cammy said. "I need to know how they avoided our security."
Savannah could see the 'Cameron' in Cammy come out on full display.
"I know you don't think they're Liquid Metal." Savannah said. "I don't either but I still don't want you to take any unnecessary chances."
Cammy looked at her phone, so did Savannah. There was an even closer zoom in.
The individual started to do something. They both understood the function and necessity.
There was liquid and it didn't appear to be Metal.
"I can see they're not Liquid Metal." Cammy said.
Savannah was a little disgusted at the image as she viewed a close up. She thought if someone was Liquid Metal it was very convincing that they weren't by their current action. She wasn't impressed at all by what she witnessed.
You're Safe
Those who may think
Life is tit for tat
Really have no idea
Where it's at
Some can say
Another is pretty
When the sole goal
Is really some 'kitty'
Do we take words at face value
Or is it over before it can begin
When nothing is wanted within
Only the desire for some skin
Such is the way
People are often treated
Eroding the very soul
Leaving one feeling depleted
Hearts and minds that play the game
Can be bruised and easily chafe
Don't for a second ever think
You're safe
Nobody
