Chapter 1149

No Calls Allowed

John and Cameron were at lunch in the main dining room on the cruise ship.

Cameron wanted to give John a taste of fine dining. Things were pretty simple at lunch time as compared to what they would be at dinner.

John finished his lunch entree and traded plates with Cameron. She'd ordered one for him as her own. The way it was done, no one would question her not ordering anything and John wouldn't feel self conscious about ordering two for himself.

Cameron noticed the older couple look at her again.

It bothered her. It bothered her more that Savannah hadn't called her yet. Maybe she needed to call Young Allison again and find out what happened. She needed to be more involved but wanted to spend time with John. It was very difficult for her not to follow everything.

She'd previously told John she would only follow the operations when he was asleep. She would do that from the Control Center on the ship where she could rapidly return to their suite bedroom if he woke up during the night.

John looked over at Cameron. It was clear she was lost in thought about other things. He wondered if he should say anything. It usually tended to make things worse. He figured he'd better find out anyway. He didn't want Cameron to start to glitch out on the ship. He knew that Gail and Holly were close by but he didn't want to have some type of incident occur. It would be very hard to explain. Maybe he would tell them it was some type of epileptic episode.

"Cameron, what's wrong?" John asked.

Cameron didn't want to spoil John's meal. She tried to blow it off.

"Nothing's wrong." Cameron said. "I'm fine."

Her answer wasn't good enough. John could tell something was up. He certainly hoped it wasn't something that he'd done. It very well could be. He thought that he'd been slick when he checked out all of the females on the pool deck, around the burger grill, pizza station and buffet.

"I know that's not true." John said. "I can tell something's wrong."

Cameron didn't know if she wanted to get into any details. There were actually several things that currently bothered her. She really didn't want her problems to be his problems. She could see his concern was genuine. She decided to tell him. She was very bothered by it. The older couple who kept looking at her bothered her too.

"I thought Savannah would call me." Cameron said.

John noticed a sign when they entered the dining room.

"There are no calls allowed in the dining room." John said. "You can go out into the hall and make one."

Cameron was worried about John's safety. She didn't want to leave him alone.

"I don't want to leave you unattended." Cameron said.

John couldn't see much of a threat developing on the ship. Sitting in the main dining room as he ate lunch seemed even less of a threat.

"I'm a big boy now." John said. "You'll only be a few hundred feet away."

Cameron glanced over at the older couple again. She saw them quickly look away from her. She knew a problem when she saw one, even if she didn't know what the problem was. She wanted Holly or Gail to join him. She decided on Holly.

"Maybe I'll send in Holly." Cameron said.

John questioned her thought process. He wondered why she didn't offer to send in Gail. He didn't want to make it the issue.

"It will blow her cover." John said. "Cameron, I don't think any of this is a big deal."

Cameron was worried about Savannah.

"I haven't followed any of the operations since we went out for food." Cameron said. "Savannah and Cammy were out…."

Now John wondered what he'd missed.

"Are you worried something happened?" John asked.

She was worried that Savannah hadn't called her. Maybe it was because Savannah couldn't. What if something did happen to her? The last thought caused her even more worry.

"I don't know." Cameron said.

John understood how deeply Cameron was usually involved in operations. Maybe this was too hard on her not to be a part of it. He wanted to give her more freedom to be who she was.

He knew they were both supposed to be on vacation. Maybe it was impossible for a Terminator to actually take a vacation. He thought the whole purpose of them going on the cruise for seven days was to get away from it all. It didn't appear that was going to be the case. More than likely, the more Cameron became involved with the operations, the more he would be as well. Pretty soon they wouldn't be on vacation at all. They'd try to run everything from the ship, instead of from the Resistance base. He wanted to give her some additional freedom. He wanted her to feel comfortable. He was aware she could perform multiple tasks at the same time.

"You can follow the operations if you want. I don't have a problem with that." John said. "I can see it matters to you."

Cameron knew Savannah always kept her promises. Maybe she hadn't actually kept all of them yet because the situation hadn't presented itself. It didn't matter, a promise was a promise. A person was only as good as their word. She'd been told once that lying was worse than stealing. When someone lied, they stole another person's trust. She didn't like the path she was currently headed down. Her earlier promise was to not be involved in operations except when John rested. She wanted to keep that commitment.

"I said I'd only follow operations when you were asleep." Cameron said. "I don't want to take away from our time together."

John felt some of the current situation was his fault then. He was the one who wanted others to share the adventure with them. He already knew what Savannah and Young Allison wanted for Cameron in him. Savannah made everything very clear to him and why. Maybe he should have listened.

"I asked you to see if some of the others could come. I wanted to share this with them." John said. "It's OK. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. The ship sails every week. There are the other times they can go."

Cameron saw the older couple look at her again. It agitated her further. She didn't understand why they needed to look at her. There were hundreds of other people in the dining area. There were thousands of people on the ship. Why had she been targeted?

"Those people keep looking at me." Cameron said.

John was afraid Cameron may refocus her frustrations on them. It wouldn't end well for them. He didn't think Cameron would hesitate for a moment to terminate anyone who she perceived as a threat. He didn't believe anyone on board the ship was a threat to him or her. He was aware that some people were busy bodies and some people were just nosy. It was human nature to do those things to some extent. Some people just did it more than others.

"They don't seem like a threat." John said. "You won't terminate them will you?"

Cameron thought about it for a moment. That thought already crossed her mind. It was easier when problems went away. Sometimes there was a problem and she made it go away. She didn't know what would be required in this instance. It was too early to tell. Since they hadn't physically made a move on John or her, everything was speculation at this point

"No." Cameron said. "Not yet anyway."

John could see she'd just seriously thought about doing it. He wanted her to have some peace of mind. He wanted to give her some personal space. As far as he knew, calls might be blocked in the dining area.

"You can go out into the hall to make the call." John said. "I won't go anywhere."

Cameron looked around the dining area. The threat level seemed minimal. She really wanted to hear from Savannah. If she couldn't reach Savannah, she would try Young Allison again. If the others were approved to come aboard the ship, things needed to be set in motion now.

"I'm sorry about this." Cameron said. "I'll be back."

Cameron got up to leave. She saw the older couple look at her again.

She quickly ran visual scans of them to determine if they were someone that she knew from the present, the past or the future. The results came back negative. She possessed their images. When she was by the Control Center on the ship, she would plug in and have John Henry and CamNet search for more information. She would ask Bob to bring her several lengths of heavy chain. She wouldn't tell them what they were for. She could visit the couple while they were sleeping and terminate them. She would wrap the chain around their waist and throw them overboard. All of their luggage would disappear as well. She would then have CamNet delete any records they ever were on the ship.

Cameron frowned at them and went to the entryway of the dining room. She moved down the short hallway past the elevators.

Holly and Gail were both on their feet. They moved towards her. They both saw Cameron was holding her phone. She looked distressed.

Cameron waved them off. They continued walking and traded places with each other and sat back down.

She didn't know if she should call Savannah first or Young Allison again. If she called Savannah, she was worried Savannah would view it as her attempting to intimidate her. It wasn't the case. She simply conveyed John's desire to them for either their approval or disapproval. She understood what they wanted. She also thought it was important what John wanted.

Cameron was about to call Young Allison again when her phone rang.

Savannah felt terrible that personal issues seemed to have disrupted her operation with Cammy. They'd uncovered several things that were all a little unsettling and disturbing. None of them seemed to be a top priority but they still needed to be dealt with.

She looked over at Cammy and then over at the electrical room door. She looked at the big entry door into the building for the rail cars and over at the drainage opening that the two large pieces of metal now sat on. It seemed there was more than one thing to worry about. She let out a slow breath.

"Let me call Cameron real quick." Savannah said. "I'm really sorry about how this is interfering with things."

Cammy wanted to reassure Savannah everything was good. She wasn't really sure what the nature of the threat they currently faced actually was. Even though there were several suspicious things, none of them looked serious.

"Family comes before work." Cammy said. "We haven't really even started yet anyway."

Savannah believed there was truth to that statement. She wasn't sure if now was actually one of those times. She still felt it was a serious breach of protocol. If they'd already entered the building or the electrical room she wouldn't even consider doing something different until those events were concluded.

"That may be so." Savannah said. "Keep an eye on the electrical room and the opening into the building."

Cammy didn't think it was a big deal one way or the other.

"I will." Cammy said.

Savannah looked around one more time and then looked at her phone.

"I'll make this short." Savannah said.

Savannah moved up against the building. It gave her some cover if things turned hot. She took out her phone. She took one more look around and then called Cameron.

The phone was answered instantly.

"Hello, Savannah." Cameron said.

Savannah didn't think it would turn out to be good that Cameron answered the phone instantly. It indicated that she'd been holding it and probably waiting for her call. She realized Cameron may have also contemplated calling her. If that was her intention, it never happened.

She certainly hoped that Cameron wasn't following the operation either. It wasn't what she wanted for her. She believed Cameron was only going to follow the operations when John was asleep. She briefly wondered if John was asleep or not. Most likely if he was, it meant Cameron and him had recently made love. That was what she wanted them to do. It was best to get down to business. It was what it was.

Holly watched Cameron. She wondered if Cameron was going to start to glitch. It sure seemed like it.

Cameron looked very distressed. She held her phone, it rang. A giant smile blossomed on Cameron's face. She looked very 'happy'.

She heard Cameron say, 'Hello, Savannah.'

Holly looked over at Gail who was as worried as she was about Cameron.

Everything looked fine now.

Holly wondered if Gail and her would look like that if Allison or Jesse called them. She didn't think so. Maybe they did and didn't know it. It seemed Cameron always 'felt' more than they did. Maybe this was an example of it. It was clear that Cameron was much more evolved than the rest of the infiltration units on 'feelings' and emotional matters. She wasn't always sure it was a good thing.

It made her wonder if Cameron was able to experience sexual relations at a higher level because of her advanced development. It would mean that in the same chassis, Cameron would have a better experience than she would. If the tether was used Cameron could transfer the file in real time of the encounter. It would almost be like doing it herself but there would be no control. It would just be the direct transfer of the file from Cameron with her advanced development. It was something to think about.

Gail looked over at Holly and at Cameron. It seemed like both of them were in their own little worlds right now. She believed they both could 'feel' more than she could when it came to personal relations. Based upon past episodes that involved Holly and Cameron, she really wasn't sure it was something to look forward to.

It made her wonder about how she currently felt about Savannah. She cared for her and loved her deeply. It was a different type of love somehow than what she felt for Jesse and Duplicate Jesse. It was certainly different from her feelings towards the other females, both the human girls and the Metal girls. Maybe everything was a matter of perspective.

Cameron's phone rang. She felt a great sense of relief. It felt like a ton of bricks had just been lifted off of her back. She was more than elated when she saw who the call was from.

"Hello, Savannah." Cameron said.

Savannah was a little worried in the direction that the conversation would go. She also needed to consider everyone else in the Resistance, not just Cameron and John. What was good for everyone else shouldn't be what she wanted on a personal level. She wanted to deal with the events as soon as possible.

"Hello, Cameron." Savannah said. "I need to make this short. I spoke with Young Allison a short time ago. We discussed your proposal."

Cameron felt defensive with that statement. She wasn't the one that suggested it to John. She hadn't even acted on it the first couple of times that he'd mentioned it. She'd wanted to make sure it was really what John wanted.

"It was John's idea." Cameron said. "He asked me to find out. He brought it up several times before I called Young Allison."

Savannah was sure Cameron planted the idea in John's head.

"Whatever." Savannah said.

Cameron felt upset at Savannah's attitude.

"It was." Cameron said.

Savannah didn't want to create a new issue. She didn't want to be the one that spoiled their vacation.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that." Savannah said. "You know what I mean. You know what I'm worried about."

Cameron knew that she would need to put the brakes on some of her previous desires. Wait, they weren't her desires. They were what Future John wanted. She also needed to think about John's protection going forward. The anti-Metal group was a serious threat.

"I won't do any 'match making'." Cameron said. "I know the rules."

Savannah wondered if Cameron could actually promise her.

"Can you promise me that?" Savannah asked.

Cameron wouldn't do anything to push any of the girls to do anything they didn't want to do. If they wanted to do something on their own and it involved John, she wasn't going to stop it. She wasn't sure it was a good time to mention it to Savannah. If any of them wanted to share, why should she stand in their way? Everyone knew who they belonged to at the end of the day. That's what all of the girls told her on many occasions. They told her it was beautiful to share the love and spread the love around. But at the end of the day, they all know who they belong to. She wanted to keep her answer simple.

"I promise for this trip." Cameron said. "That's the best I can do."

Savannah read that alcohol flowed freely on the ship and the overall atmosphere changed people's behavior. She read about plenty of 'hookups' on cruises especially with strangers. She didn't think Cameron would stand in the way of any of the females in the Resistance if they made a move on their own. She wasn't so sure about anyone else on the ship. It might lead to an incident of its own creation.

"Things may happen on their own accord." Savannah said. "Hormones may kick in and inhibitions may drop in that atmosphere."

Cameron felt that what happened on the ship, stayed on the ship. If people wanted to share, they should. She also read about some of the things that happened on the ship with other people.

"John has the right to choose. Our relationship is open." Cameron said. "I won't interfere. I won't encourage it either. Anyone who is on the ship can choose who or what they want. It's part of the experience."

Savannah thought Cameron watched a TV show about love and relations on a small cruise ship one too many times. It made her think about another movie. She really hoped it didn't turn into a 'Deadly Honeymoon' for someone. She tried to change the track. There were other things to consider as well.

"Can Riley bring Precious?" Savannah asked. "Is it even safe for Precious to be out?"

Cameron would prefer if Precious wasn't exposed to any strangers.

"It will be safer if Precious stays in the suite most of the time." Cameron said. "She's still very young to be out."

Savannah wanted a better option for Precious. She wanted something that was safer and more secure.

"Would it be better if Precious stayed at the base?" Savannah asked.

Cameron thought it would be. She didn't want Riley to miss out. She didn't know if Riley would want to leave Precious behind.

"I would feel better if Precious stayed at the base." Cameron said. "Riley may not want to come then. I really think Riley needs to get away from it all for a few days."

Savannah believed there were other ways around the situation. If it was only for a couple of days it shouldn't be a big deal. It wasn't like Riley needed to leave Precious 'in some future'.

"The well being of Precious comes first." Savannah said. "I know Vanna will want to watch her if Riley wants a day or two off."

Cameron knew that the first three ports that they would visit we're all in very close proximity. They would make port three days in a row. There were options for anyone to get on or off the ship at each of those ports. The days the ship was at sea would be a little harder.

"Derek and Riley can do a one day segment." Cameron said. "They would only be gone a little over twenty four hours."

Savannah wanted John and Cameron to be happy. She wanted some relief for the team members too. They seldom were able to take a break and never got a treat. This would be something none of them had ever done before. It was something they never thought about. It would make it even more special. She needed to think about the team overall.

"You may proceed." Savannah said. "You can work it out or have Young Allison help you."

Cameron was elated with Savannah's response.

"Thank you, Savannah." Cameron said.

Savannah didn't want to hurt Cameron but she needed to say something.

"Cameron…." Savannah said.

Cameron was a little worried about Savannah's tone.

"Yes." Cameron said.

Savannah wanted to make it clear to Cameron.

"I won't be going." Savannah said.

Cameron knew when not to push things.

"I understand." Cameron said.

Savannah was more than a little surprised that Cameron didn't ask her about the current operation she was on. She thought she should end the call before she did. She figured it would only cause Cameron additional grief if she knew where she was at and what she was about to do.

"I need to go." Savannah said. "Bye, 'Bon voyage'."

Cameron wanted to set everything into motion. She wanted to talk to Savannah longer but she needed to get the ball rolling.

"Thank You." Cameron said. "Bye."

Gail watched Cameron's face light up when she'd conducted her call.

She knew it was Savannah calling.

Gail wondered if Cameron knew how lucky she was to have Savannah love her so much. It was a love they would all die for.

She was glad Cameron went from what looked like a melt down about to happen, to a smiling 'happy' face.

Cameron finished up her call and made another one real quick. The broad smile stayed on her face. Cameron glanced at Holly and her and gave each of them a smile.

Gail looked at Holly and they both slightly shrugged their shoulders.

She really wondered what range of emotions that Cameron just went through.

Gail went back to watching the people that exited the elevator or the few that used the stairs. Each one was assessed as to their threat level. She needed to remind herself that she was there for the protection of Cameron and the General.

John finished Cameron's entree and the assistant waiter took the plates away.

When the waiter returned, John went ahead and ordered some dessert for Cameron and him.

He saw Cameron on her way back with a big smile on her face. She even smiled at the older couple who looked at her again. They seemed pleased that she looked happy now.

Cameron sat down.

John thought Cameron looked a lot better.

"How did it go?" John asked.

Cameron smiled at John.

"Savannah gave your proposal her blessing." Cameron said. "I need to follow the rules."

John wasn't really sure what the rules were. It seemed like something he shouldn't ask about. It seemed to be something that Cameron needed to deal with on her own.

"You look very happy." John said.

Cameron remembered a discussion she'd conducted with John previously in his bed. The circumstances that followed it we're very upsetting to her. She didn't want to think about them right now.

"I'm a machine, John, I can't be…." Cameron started.

Cameron paused in mid sentence. She didn't want to spoil her mood. She was a machine and she was happy.

"I am happy. I can be happy." Cameron said with a bigger smile.

It pleased John to hear Cameron change her answer. He was really glad she didn't bring up any of the other issues related to the earlier incident. He decided to move the conversation along. He wanted her to refocus.

"I ordered you some dessert." John said.

Cameron wondered what John picked for her. She didn't mind to try a taste of ice cream every now and then.

"What did you get me?" Cameron asked. "Is it something good?"

John thought all dessert was good, some of it was just better, especially the sexual kind.

"I ordered some ice cream and some chocolate mousse." John said.

Cameron would taste them and get a chemical breakdown of the ingredients. It would help her determine the damage being done to John's body by the food he consumed. Everything he'd eaten so far today had been pretty much off the charts.

"I'll only try a taste of each." Cameron said. "What did you get?"

John wanted to try something that he'd heard about but never tried before.

"I ordered a Napoleon pastry." John said. "I would like you to try a small bite."

Cameron saw the waiter on his way over with the three desserts.

"Here they come." Cameron said.

John hoped they would too when they got back to the room.

Savannah finished her call with Cameron. She didn't like the idea of others going but since John asked about it, maybe it was OK. Cameron promised not to do any matchmaking. She assured her there was plenty of privacy for the two of them. She also needed to think about the other team members. How often did any of them have a chance to get away from it all? She felt very self conscious about the interruption as they were about to conduct an operation.

"I'm sorry about that, Cammy." Savannah said.

Cammy looked away from the electrical room door.

"It's fine, nothing has changed." Cammy said.

Savannah needed to refocus on the job at hand.

"Are you ready to make entry?" Savannah asked.

Cammy made a final check.

"Yes." Cammy said. "John Henry, how does everything look around us?"

John Henry checked all of the surveillance cameras at the Port facility as well as the footage from the two drones.

"All is, as it was." John Henry said.

Cammy looked at Savannah. She wanted to make sure she was protected.

"I'll lead." Cammy said. "You watch behind us."

Savannah tried to lighten the mood. Sometimes Cammy was on top when they shared.

"I'm used to a 'rear view'." Savannah said with a smile.

Cammy looked at Savannah again and smiled.

"I like it as well." Cammy said. "It's beautiful too."

Cammy reached for the door handle and turned it. She opened the door to the electrical room and looked in. She really hoped she wasn't shot in the face. The room was empty. She double checked everything in the room. It was dark inside so she used several different vision spectrums to look over everything.

Savannah peeked over her shoulder. There was no one in there. She really thought they were going to find the homeless individual curled up in a corner. It wasn't the case.

"Nice vanishing act." Savannah said.

Cammy figured the man was inside the crawlspace. She would locate him soon enough so she could carry on a 'conversation' with him. She looked over the electrical panel. She noticed a few things that were out of place.

"Maybe for now it is." Cammy said. "The power has been turned back on."

Savannah was a little alarmed to hear that.

"Is the power for the whole building on?" Savannah asked.

Cammy looked over the electrical breakers.

"No. It is only a few breakers that are on." Cammy said.

Savannah watched Cammy examine the electrical panel.

"You look worried." Savannah said.

Cammy was able to identify which breakers were on.

"One of the sections is the upstairs area." Cammy said. "That was the living quarters."

Savannah could tell Cammy was holding back.

"What else?" Savannah asked.

"The 'walk in freezer' is the other area." Cammy said. "That's where they were working on the Liquid Metal experiments."

It wasn't news Savannah wanted to hear. They were ill equipped for dealing with Liquid Metal.

"We need better weapons." Savannah said.

Savannah thought they needed guns, lots of guns.

They also would need acid rounds and more Thermite.

Young Allison watched the drone feed of Savannah and Cammy. Earlier Savannah moved away from Cammy and was up along the side of the building.

"I can see Savannah talking to Cameron." Young Allison said.

Anna looked at the zoom in.

"She doesn't look happy." Anna said.

She was aware of what Savannah's desire was.

"No she doesn't." Young Allison said.

Anna wondered if Savannah nixed the whole idea.

"Maybe she said 'no'." Anna said.

Young Allison wasn't so sure about it. They all needed to work in harmony and John asked for it to be done. It would be a hard request to turn down for John.

"I think she'll agree since John asked for it." Young Allison said. "That's why I agreed to it. How often does John ask for anything from anyone?"

Anna tilted her head slightly. She wondered if Young Allison would have turned Cameron down if the request came from her instead of John.

"The call is over." Anna said.

They watched as Savannah walked over to where Cammy was at.

"She's rejoined Cammy." Young Allison said.

Young Allison's phone rang.

They could both see that Savannah wasn't on her phone.

Anna had a pretty good idea who it wasn't.

"That's not Savannah calling you." Anna said.

Young Allison looked at her phone.

"It's Cameron." Young Allison said.

Young Allison took the call. Cameron asked her if she could set everything up. She wanted to see if some of the others would go.

Cameron told her that Savannah was concerned about Precious. Everyone needed to be on the same page. Cameron thought it would go smoother if she handled it.

Young Allison told Cameron she would get right on it. She wondered if Cameron made the calls herself if everyone would feel obligated to follow her 'suggestions'. She knew that Cameron was very influential. She normally liked to stay in the background. What was required now was for her to step up. It was time to move things along.

She wished Cameron a good trip and hung up. She looked over at Anna.

"I need to make some calls." Young Allison said.

Anna wasn't sure if now was the time.

"What about the operation?" Anna asked. "Cammy and Savannah are about to go inside the structure."

Young Allison would have preferred if they waited for additional help.

"How soon will it be until more of our Terminators arrive?" Young Allison asked.

Anna already looked into that when Young Allison was on the phone with Cameron.

"It's still a little while." Anna said.

Young Allison and Anna watched them enter and listened to Savannah and Cammy discuss what they'd found.

"I don't think it is Liquid Metal that is being worked on." Young Allison said.

Anna wondered how Young Allison made that determination.

"Based on what?" Anna asked.

Young Allison based her assumption on sound.

"It's not the refrigeration unit that's on." Young Allison said. "They would have heard it working. I think it is just the lights."

Anna contacted CamNet with the details.

"CamNet has sent that information to John Henry." Anna said. "He will inform them."

Young Allison quickly formulated another plan.

"I have another idea." Young Allison said. "It might be a way to get the perpetrator to go to where they're at. It might be a safer route than them looking for the individual."

Anna could see Young Allison would like more involvement.

"Do you wish for direct communication with them?" Anna asked.

Young Allison thought she was in pretty deep already. Maybe if she hadn't had the two calls with Cameron and the call with Savannah she would at this time. Somehow she didn't want what was previously discussed to come up, even if it was inadvertently. She also didn't want to leave anyone else out of the equation.

"We'll work through John Henry." Young Allison said. "I don't want to step on his toes this early. I am sure I'll do that at some point. I want to pass along a suggestion…."

John Henry and Allison followed everything in the Command Center.

Allison personally saw Mrs. Weaver at 'work' before. She remembered how quickly she'd killed the Scavengers who stripped her and were about to abuse her. She wanted Cammy and Savannah to be on the highest alert.

"If they suspect Liquid Metal in any way, they need to get out." Allison said. "I've seen Mrs. Weaver in action. They won't stand a chance."

John Henry also witnessed Mrs. Weaver in action. He wasn't entirely sure it was for the destruction of the enemy forces. He actually believed it was a veiled warning to him as to what could happen to him if he ever got in her way. It was something to think about anyway.

"I agree." John Henry said.

John Henry received some new information from CamNet.

Allison watched John Henry check several things in rapid succession.

"What is it?" Allison asked.

John Henry was somewhat relieved with the information he'd received.

"It may not be Liquid Metal." John Henry said. "The refrigeration unit isn't on."

Allison thought caution was in order. There were a few things that didn't add up.

"They said the electrical room was empty…." Allison said.

John Henry knew all of the electrical cables needed to run to different parts of the building.

"There is probably an access panel for the electrical conduits to run through before they're run around the building. There may be a crawlway of some type." John Henry said. "CamNet gave me a suggestion on how to make the suspect come to Cammy and Savannah."

Allison didn't care for the new development.

"Is it safe?" Allison asked.

John Henry actually believed it was a good idea.

"It saves them having to search the building." John Henry said.

Allison hoped anything that posed less of a risk for Cammy and Savannah would be able to play out as intended

"That's a start." Allison said.

Jim and Sheila received word from CamNet to move the computer gear from the spare room of the Master Suite back into the extra room located off of Cameron's suite.

Sheila looked at everything with disgust. She glanced at the balcony before she looked at Jim.

"We just moved all this junk an hour ago." Sheila said. "Maybe we should just throw it overboard."

Jim noted that Sheila was wearing another maid's outfit. This one was even shorter than the last one. Everything was clearly visible as she stood upright. He could see everything clearly, even without the need for her to bend over or even move.

"We have a job to do." Jim said. "Let's get started.'

Sheila and Jim started moving the computers and monitors back to where they were first set up at.

After the second trip of carrying the computer equipment over, she paused and looked at Jim.

"You didn't comment on my new outfit." Sheila said.

Jim looked Sheila over from head to toe. He figured he'd better tell it to her straight.

"You look stunning in it." Jim said. "You will also be washing dishes when Cameron sees it. I'm able to observe everything."

Sheila thought that was the whole point. She noticed the bulge in Jim pants.

"I can see you like it too." Sheila said. "At least I won't have to keep moving this crap back and forth."

Jim preferred moving the equipment from room to room over dish washing.

"It is better than a sixteen hour shift washing dishes." Jim said. "CamNet informed us there will be additional human members of the Resistance joining us. We need to have everything ready for them."

Sheila was aware of what was required. That was why she currently wore the even shorter skirt with her maid's outfit.

"I got the message." Sheila said.

Jim wasn't sure how they would handle the accommodations for the other female Terminators.

"Gail and Holly will lose their room for a few days." Jim said.

The spare bedrooms connected to each of the suites each contained two king size beds.

"They can hang out in here along with the computer gear." Sheila said. "Or they can hang out with me."

Sheila planned to make the most of things on the ship.

She planned to 'hang out' wherever she could. She didn't know who all would arrive but clearly the chances for multiple hookups just increased dramatically.

No Calls Allowed

Is one only sought
By someone to get plowed
Do they want more out of it
Or only someone well endowed

They'd better think straight
Get their head out of a cloud
The daily fog of one's life
Isn't a protective shroud

It's never a good idea
The run with the crowd
The smirks and snide remarks
Are seldom expressed aloud

Maybe the best voice
Is the one not very loud
As they sadly remember
To all those they've bowed

One won't have to kowtow
Once they have avowed
For the one already gone
It's no calls allowed

Nobody
