Chapter 1265


Mount Up Cowboy


Ally and Gail satisfied Hanna. They were in the spare room of the Master Suite.

They wanted to have her feel content before her new journey and remind her of what waited for her upon her return. They hoped what they could offer her would be better for Hanna than what John and Cameron could offer her. Sheila seemed to think they were both good experiences. They were just different. Different didn't mean better or worse.

Ally was concerned about what was going to happen. She'd asked Hanna several times already. She asked her again.

"Are you really going to do it?" Ally asked. "I mean let Cameron use your chassis?"

Claire previously told Hanna it wasn't all bad. It was pleasurable but none of the men were able to make her finish. As an experience, it always left her lacking. They left her feeling more like a receptacle than an equal. She needed to finish on her own when they fell asleep.

"I'll try it." Hanna said. "I want to get it over with and find out."

Ally was going to remind Hanna it was Cameron who would be the one who 'found out' for her.

"I hope it works out." Ally said as she looked at the connecting door to the Control Center. "I think Cameron is coming."

Gail knew it actually occurred earlier.

"It happened ninety seven seconds ago." Gail said. "I heard her."

Ally looked at Gail. She'd referred to something different than Gail did.

"I mean enter our room." Ally said.

A few seconds later the connecting door to their room opened without a knock. It was standard operating procedure for Cameron. She went where she wanted. She didn't really worry about anyone else.

Cameron stood there naked.

"John's ready." Cameron said.

Ally thought Cameron's behavior was a little abrupt.

Hanna stood up, she was naked too. She reached for her clothes.

Cameron didn't think Hanna needed to get dressed.

"Bring them, don't put them on." Cameron said. "I'll only have to take them off."

Ally didn't like Cameron's attitude. She felt Cameron treated Hanna like an object, thing or tool. It seemed very disrespectful to her. It bothered her enough that she needed to say something.

"Give her some dignity." Ally said. "Don't treat her like she doesn't matter. You're already taking her virginity from her. Don't take her dignity too."

Hanna didn't want it to be an issue.

"It's fine, Ally." Hanna said. "Everyone sacrifices for John Connor."

Ally felt Hanna was sacrificing for Cameron.

"I'm not sure it's accurate in this case." Ally said.

Cameron flashed Ally a dirty look.

Gail went and retrieved a bathrobe from the closet. She gave Hanna a hug and handed her the robe. She felt Hanna should have some type of covering when she faced John.

Cameron was dissatisfied with the delay.

"Let's go." Cameron said.

Cameron started back through the Control Center.

Hanna put the robe on.

Ally looked at her and gave her a hug.

"I hope this is what you really want." Ally said.

Hanna wanted the experience. What could it hurt?

"I think it is." Hanna said. "I'm going to find out. I want to try it once anyway. Well, actually have Cameron try it for me."

Ally gave Hanna a long deep kiss. The 'Allison' and 'Vanna' in them was very prominent.

Hanna picked up her clothes. She took one look back and entered the Control Center.

Jim watched Cameron pass through both ways naked and now Hanna was about to cross over into the Owner's Suite.

He took in her open robe and examined her exposed sheath front. He liked what he observed.

Hanna closed both doors behind her and was gone.

Jim really wished he would have installed the cameras now.

It wasn't long before he heard Ally and Gail back at it again.

It seemed Gail was always more forceful when she was alone with only one other female Terminator. She was very aggressive and demanding. He knew it was often the opposite when she was alone with Jesse. Jesse was the one who was forceful, aggressive and demanding.


Claire wanted Jesse and Sheila to take her mind off of what Hanna was about to do. It was something she would prefer not happen. She didn't think it was her choice to make. She'd given Hanna her blessing. She planned to be in John's bed one day herself. She really hoped John could get her there. If he couldn't, she was going to ask Cameron if she could be with one of the male Terminators. She didn't have a preference of which one. She thought it would be Bob, Jim or John Henry. She would be with any of them if they wanted to try it one time.

There was a new idea in her head as well. One of the female Terminators could be plugged into a male chassis or even switch chips and be with her. She actually thought it would be a better experience. All of the female Terminators knew what she liked. She was sure they would enjoy the experience as well. She might even ask Cameron if she would be the one to do it. She didn't think she'd be able to be with Cameron as herself. Maybe it would be so if Cameron used a male chassis. She was highly stimulated by the thought.

So far Jesse and Sheila made her forget about everything else. She soon forgot about males as the females delivered and kept delivering. It was a superior experience anyway. It always was.


John watched Cameron walk away naked to get Hanna. It was something he looked forward to. Since he was with Cameron in Sheila's chassis, he was able to see what Jesse and Young Jesse would be like. Now he would find out what Vanna and Savannah would be like. It was really a unique experience from his perspective. He hoped he didn't finish too fast.

He was very excited and noticed his body already began to respond to what was about to happen. He thought he would have needed some more time to recharge after being with Cameron in her chassis. They'd only just finished a few minutes ago.

The thought Cameron might return with Jim helped quell his excitement. He wouldn't disrespect Cameron's program ever again. He was ready for anything at this point. He hoped Cameron would go easy on him in a male chassis. He'd done the same things with her before. She always let him do what he wanted. She reminded him there were no pleasure receptors in certain places. He wondered if he was about to find out. He swallowed hard as he waited.


Cameron entered the Owner's Suite from the Control Center.

She waited for Hanna to catch up. She was a little irritated it took her so long to follow her.

Hanna cinched her robe and spoke with Cameron after she closed the door from the Control Center.

Cameron thought Hanna looked unsettled. She didn't want her to back out.

"Are you ready?" Cameron asked.

Hanna was very nervous. 'Vanna's thoughts' kept creeping in on her. Every experience with a male was extremely unpleasant, painful or violent for Vanna.

"I'm a little nervous." Hanna said.

Cameron smiled and gave her a hug. She wanted to give her a little reassurance.

"There's nothing to worry about." Cameron said. "I'll take care of everything for you."

Hanna looked a little less on edge. It was a relief to her. There was one thing she wanted as well, depending upon how events played out. She didn't want to seem pushy. She did want her desires known.

"I want to thank you for doing this for me." Hanna said. "If it works out well, will I be able to try it once on my own? I mean some other time."

Cameron thought Hanna should review her experience in her chassis first. She hoped it would be a positive one for her.

"Ask me after I return control of your chassis to you." Cameron said.

A new worried look appeared on Hanna's face. She began to review files from the 'Neural Interface' with Vanna after some of her abuse.

"How badly will my sheath be damaged?" Hanna asked.

Cameron tilted her head slightly. She could tell Hanna was referencing Vanna's experiences.

"Your sheath may be a little sore from some 'different' activity than you just experienced with the girls." Cameron said. "You may feel it tomorrow depending on what John does. Remember, I'll feel it as it happens since I'll be in control of your chassis. I don't want any sheath damage either. I'll experience my 'first time', again, in your chassis once I reset my files. Do you want the file in real time?"

Hanna reviewed some of Vanna's feelings after some of her abuse. Maybe she didn't want the file.

"Will I be able to block it if I don't want the file to continue?" Hanna asked.

Cameron would discontinue the file transfer if Hanna sent her a distress message. Hanna would be in standby until she unplugged from her. She didn't think it would come to that. What happened to Vanna wasn't what would happen to Hanna's chassis with her in control. John wasn't like that. She felt John was very respectful of a female's anatomy. Well, except when he did the other thing. She really needed to borrow a male chassis so she could show him what it was like.

"Yes." Cameron said. "It can become a file like the ones you received from Vanna during the 'Neural Interface'. You can always review it later or not at all. You could even delete it and erase it."

Hanna still looked very apprehensive.

Cameron was afraid Hanna might start to glitch. She reached over and took Hanna's hand.

"I'll take care of everything for you, Hanna." Cameron said. "You don't need to worry about anything. There won't be anything negative. John will make you, well, me, feel very nice."

It sounded like good news to Hanna. She didn't know if she could trust Cameron to tell the truth or not. She did believe Sheila told her the truth. She knew Sheila wanted another turn as well. Sheila was willing to do it the same way again. Claire told her there was pleasure involved with the experience even if there was no finish. Claire promised her a finish if there wasn't one from John. She felt a little more confident to proceed.

"Thank you." Hanna said.

Cameron was a little annoyed at John's request to hear directly from the Metal girls first. He wanted to hear them say they were willing participants to her using their chassis and take their first experience away from them. She decided she was going to make it happen whether they wanted it to or not. The use of Sheila's chassis gave her a new hunger. It wouldn't be satisfied until she was with John in all of the female Terminator chassis.

She planned to use some of the ones in her menagerie at her base. They would need to be used in darkness. She was pretty sure the visual sight of them might be a little distressing to John, especially on one of them. She was afraid he might be able to recognize another one of them from past experience. She would use a different style when she used that specific chassis. She needed to refocus where she was at.

"John wants to speak with you first." Cameron said.

Cameron felt an impulse in Hanna's left hand.

"Is that why you didn't want me to wear my clothes?" Hanna asked. "So they wouldn't be ruined when he rips them off of my chassis and ravishes it?"

Cameron was aware of what Vanna experienced when she was younger. They'd talked about it many times. There were times she wanted to go back to Vanna's future and alter some of those events. She knew it wouldn't alter them for Vanna because she was out of the timeline. Still, it seemed like something needed to be done about some of the events which occurred. She needed to refocus.

"It won't be like that." Cameron said. "You're only going to feel love and pleasure. I promise. Remember, there may be a little soreness. It takes a few times to get used to everything. Things will happen in different areas from time to time."

Cameron led Hanna into the bedroom of the Owner's Suite.

John waited there for them. He now wore a robe.

Cameron was surprised he'd put it on.

John put it on to hide what the effect of the medicine he took did to parts of his body. He thought he took anti-seasick medicine, not the 'little blue pill'. He was unaware what Cameron did for him. The little 'pick me up', really picked him up.

Cameron left Hanna with John and went into the bathroom. She needed to clean herself up a little.

Hanna looked back and saw Cameron was out of the room.

"Hi, John." Hanna said.

John felt very excited just looking at Hanna. He knew what was coming.

"Hello, Hanna." John said. "I appreciate what you're about to do for Cameron and I. Is it what you really want?"

Hanna wanted to know what Vanna experienced first hand. Cameron told her it was different. She wanted to know for herself.

"It's what I want." Hanna said. "I want to know what it's like. Cameron will do it for me."

Hanna wondered if she should take the robe off so it wasn't ruined. She uncinched it. It opened up in the front.

John took in the view. It looked just like Savannah to him. All the pink pigmentation was evident. She felt a rush of excitement. He swallowed hard.

"You're beautiful, Hanna." John said.

Hanna smiled at John. She was very pleased he thought she was pretty. Now she really wanted her 'one time' alone with him.

Cameron returned with the tether.

Hanna pulled her hair to one side in the back and Cameron plugged in one end of the tether.

"I'll let you plug this in me." Cameron said. "It shows everyone we're all on the same page and I'm not 'making' you do this."

Hanna looked at John and Cameron.

"It's my choice." Hanna said. "I really appreciate you doing this for me."

John wondered what they all thought was going to happen. It really wasn't a big deal. Well, it sort of was at first. Now that he'd done it thousands of times, it was almost like brushing his teeth. The different chassis and sheath clearly added to the excitement and made everything new again. Technically it was new too.

He looked around. He was unsure where Cameron's chassis would be.

"Are you going to stand there or lay down?" John asked.

Cameron wanted to do everything the same way so she could compare how John reacted to each chassis. She wanted to know which one he liked the best.

"I'll lie down like we did for Sheila's chassis when you took her, my virginity." Cameron said. "You can cover my chassis over again."

Hanna realized Cameron's chassis would be on the bed with them. She hoped it was covered over. She started to remove the robe.

Cameron desired to be unwrapped like a gift.

"Leave it on." Cameron said.

Cameron lay on the bed and Hanna looked at John as she plugged the tether in. She stood next to the bed.

The scared look on her face vanished when her eyes closed. Her face went totally blank. It turned into a soft smile when her eyes reopened. Cameron was now in control of Hanna's chassis.

Hanna-Cameron ran her hands down the sides and front of her sheath to take in all her curves. She seemed very pleased. Hanna's sheath was shapelier than her sheath was.

"Hi, John." Hanna-Cameron said. "I'm here now."

John really wanted a crack at Hanna-Cameron. He knew he needed to be patient. He wanted to deliver a positive experience.

"You look beautiful, Cameron." John said.

Hanna-Cameron looked down at the front of her sheath then looked back at John.

"All my programming is off, John." Hanna-Cameron said. "This is just you and me now."

"Cameron, I've waited so long for this moment."

"As have I, John."

"I love you, Cameron, and you love me."

"I love you, John, and you love me."

They kissed.

Hanna-Cameron removed John's robe.

John slipped Hanna-Cameron's robe off.

They stood naked before each other.

"I'm ready, John. Make me a woman." Hanna-Cameron said.

They embraced and slowly lay on the bed….

"Go slow." Hanna-Cameron whispered in his ear. "I've never done this before."

The line always excited John. There was just something special about being the 'first'.


Summer and Jan were in the large whirlpool tub together.

Holly added some bubble bath solution to the water when it was turned on. The whirlpool effect seemed to keep the bubbles growing. She wondered if they were going to overflow onto the floor. She thought she could put some towels down if they did.

"Don't get any bubbles in your eyes." Holly said. "It might sting."

The two girls blew bubbles at each other. They tried to make bubble 'snowballs' to throw at each other. It didn't work very well. The bubble 'snowball' couldn't travel very far.

"Don't make a mess on the floor. I'll have to clean it up." Holly said.

Jan knew they needed to show a little restraint.

"We won't." Jan said.

Summer decided she would clean up any mess.

"I'll fix everything." Summer said. "You won't need to do anything."

Holly was afraid the girls would get too loud.

"Remember, there are people 'resting' on both sides of us." Holly said.

Summer looked toward the main Honeymoon Suite and then over at the Owner's Suite on the other side. She felt a twinge of excitement. She knew what it meant.

"Nobody is 'resting'." Summer said.

Holly listened. She could hear Summer was right.

Summer smiled at Holly and winked.


Sarah was over Kyle when she finished again.

She slowly rested against his body facing him.

"I need to rest." Sarah said.

Kyle was very pleased with the turn of events and the reaction the medicine helped produce. He was aware the longer he held back, the more pleasure Sarah could receive.

"Do you want me to take over?" Kyle asked. "You've been riding me like I was a 'bucking bronco'."

Sarah and Kyle share a long kiss.

Once Sarah caught her breath again, she was good to go.

Sarah rolled over off of Kyle and ended up on her back next to him. She could see he was ready to go. She was very pleased with his new ability. She was sure the salt air gave him a lot of extra 'oomph'.

"OK, Superman, show me what you've got." Sarah said.


Riley finished twice in a short time.

She breathed heavily from the exertion.

"Is everything OK?" Derek asked.

Riley was the one who'd helped herself. It was as physically demanding as it was satisfying.

"I need to catch my breath." Riley said.

Derek didn't want to push things. He was very pleased with the way events played out.

Riley rolled over and looked at her phone.

"Precious is fine." Riley said.

Derek and Riley kissed.

"Where were we?" Riley asked.

Derek was ready to take over.

"It will be easier to show you." Derek said.

Riley rolled over onto her back. She could see Derek was ready to go.

Riley wanted to see if Derek packed a 'six shooter'. She'd already experienced at least that many finishes. She was ready for a few more.

"Mount up, cowboy." Riley said.


Savannah heard the panel move. The enemy was near. They were right next to her. She knew Cammy would spring into action if it was necessary. She actually hoped Cammy wouldn't jump the gun and terminate the two men before they accomplished what they wanted them to do.

"The grungy dog is gone." The first Gray said.

"It looks like it wrecked the tarp." The second Gray said. "Let me fold it up."

Savannah could feel Cammy tense up. She was ready to go 'Terminator' on the two men.

"Just leave it for now." The first Gray said. "Let's see what they're up to inside. We can deal with it on the way out."

Savannah heard them walk over to the first door. She heard it open. The men could be heard on the stairs.

Cammy moved the tarp and was on her feet in a second. She rushed soundlessly to the door before it closed and simulated its closing sound.

Savannah was up and followed behind Cammy.

Cammy peered in a slight gap of the almost closed door as the men descended the stairs. They used a cell phone for light.

She looked in back of her and motioned for Savannah to follow her. They slipped inside the door.

Cammy didn't let it close tight.

The men passed by Cam without noticing her concealed position and were now at the bottom door.

One Gray looked back up the stairway but didn't shine the light.

The buttons were pushed. Cammy listened to the sounds. She was thoroughly disgusted by her earlier efforts. They never would have worked.

"It was five digits, not four." Cammy whispered to Savannah. "One number was a repeat."

The door opened soundlessly.

They saw Cam come out from concealment and move behind the men.

The Grays went in the door and it closed silently behind them.

Cammy and Savannah were down to Cam in a few seconds.

"You should have grabbed the door." Cammy said.

Cam spied the numbers. She wanted the men to start whatever they were going to do.

"I saw the combination." Cam said. "The door opens quietly. We can give them a few minutes and see what they are up to. Let them turn on whatever they're doing here. It will be easier to access any computers once they're already running."

Savannah wondered if maybe Cam should have grabbed the Grays once the door was open. She was afraid of what the Grays might turn on. She was afraid these Grays were Fanatics. They might have time now to set off a bomb. The events in Las Vegas were fresh in her mind. She remembered how they tried to erase all of their files and blow the place up, with them still in it.

She wanted to let everyone know where they currently stood. It seemed like a fairly good place to proceed with the operation.

"Let me make a report." Savannah said. "I'll close the upper door in case there's any way for them to tell it's not closed."

Cammy knew they weren't going to open the door for a couple of minutes. There was no need to expose Savannah to any additional danger.

"I'll do it." Cammy said.

Before Savannah could say anything, Cammy was gone.

Savannah thought about following her but didn't.


Steve held his position and covered the two men until they entered into the building through the loose panel. He'd moved back to his original position where Tom was at.

Tom and Steve watched as Al emerged from the open drain grate. Ed joined him a second later. They'd followed the Gray all the way. They wanted to be able to intercept him if he went a different way or seemed to do anything he shouldn't do.

Steve and Tom moved up to the wall of the building.

"We're going in." Steve said.

Al and Ed looked around.

"We'll maintain perimeter security." Al said.

Al and Ed took up positions.

They all received a burst transmission over their coms. It was Cammy. She gave them a run down of everything including how to open both doors.

"Cammy was just on the other side of this wall." Tom said.

Steve was displeased with the end of the transmission.

"Cammy wants us to wait." Steve said.

Tom was also upset by the call to wait. He wanted to back up Savannah.

"I would have rather heard it from Savannah." Tom said.

Steve and Tom felt they were being 'sidelined'. They didn't know why. They needed to trust Cammy's judgment. They would have liked to have a heads up as to why they needed to delay. Protecting Savannah was important to them.


John Henry told Vanna and Allison what the message was from Cammy. They'd all expected to hear from Savannah.

The new information was a little concerning.

"Why would she have them wait?" Vanna asked.

John Henry wondered why Cammy delivered the message this time. He would rather have heard the order to wait come from Savannah.

"I don't know." John Henry said.

Allison thought there should be a bigger response. She wanted to make sure the girls would have maximum support.

"I think all four of the Terminators should go after the girls." Allison said.

John Henry could only go by Cammy's request.

"Cammy must have wanted it that way for a reason." John Henry said.

Vanna didn't see why there needed to be a change in the plan.

"I don't like it." Vanna said. "I wish we knew what it was."

Precious seemed a little fussy.

Samantha looked at her.

"She's fine." Samantha said. "Do you want me to take her back?"

Vanna didn't want to go back to the room.

"Let her stay for now." Vanna said. "I'll be here if she needs me."

Vanna looked back at the monitors.

"Where did everyone go?" Vanna asked.

Allison was distracted too when she looked at Precious. It was only for a few seconds.

"It's like they all disappeared." Allison said.

John Henry received new information.

"It seems there's been a new development." John Henry said.

Vanna didn't like the way events were shaping up.

"Are things going from bad to worse?" Vanna asked.

It was John Henry's feeling when he received the news.

"It appears that way." John Henry said.


Anna quickly told Young Allison what Cammy reported.

Young Allison wanted more of an explanation. She felt Savannah would be under protected.

"It's not good enough." Young Allison said. "I want more help for Savannah's team."

Anna was provided with the conversation in the Command Center.

"Cammy's decision isn't going over well in the Command Center either." Anna said.

Young Allison wanted Steve and Tom to carry out their original assignment. She wanted to make sure the girls were adequately protected.

"I want Steve and Tom to be ready to move." Young Allison said. "I'll have them hold momentarily. I'm not going to wait too long."

An alert popped up on all the screens. It was what Young Allison feared.

"There's an enemy drone contact detected." Anna said.

Young Allison wanted the Terminators to act.

"Send Steve and Tom in now to back them up." Young Allison said. "Have Al and Ed retreat back into the drainage system for cover. They can still keep the back door open out of the building."

Anna could see CamNet already responded to Young Allison's commands.

"It's done." Anna said. "Everyone has already started to move."

Young Allison thought they should have a little time to deal with the enemy drone and any others that followed. She felt their drone coverage was adequate to detect threats out for quite a ways.

"How far out is the drone contact?" Young Allison asked.

They watched as everyone took their new positions. It took only a few seconds.

Anna was more surprised how close the unknown drone actually was.

"It's less than one mile out." Anna said.

Young Allison could see they had drone coverage far beyond that range. Something was off.

"How could it get in so close?" Young Allison asked. "Every approach is covered."

Anna rechecked everything.

"I don't know." Anna said.

Young Allison saw only one way they could have gotten so close. The drone should have been detected in the sky or even if they approached at ground level. The drone must have approached below ground level. There was only one way to be able to do so.

"Are they coming up the flood control channel?" Young Allison asked. "We're searching the sky."

Anna was a little surprised at a new request.

"CamNet wants to send more drones to investigate." Anna said.

Young Allison wanted to play it cautiously. She didn't want this to be a sucker play. She didn't want to deplete her coverage over the old newspaper plant.

"Send two." Young Allison said. "All the rest will hold at the different altitudes. Don't let them suck us down to the ground. This may just be getting started."

Since there was only one contact reported. There could be a fleet elsewhere waiting to make their move. The enemy drone may try and run to lure their drones away from the target area. It could lead their drones into an ambush or some kind of 'flak trap'. It was 'bad news' no matter how it played out. The enemy clearly knew the layout of the land and multiple ways to approach the building.


The female Fanatic didn't think she was being pursued by anyone. She hadn't spotted any police vehicles either. She checked over the information on her burner phone. There was another location within a short distance. It was where she headed.

She couldn't help but think about the hillside complex as she drove. She'd heard the Grays say it was completely destroyed along with the two outbuildings. She's felt a compulsion to go check it out for herself. It was originally where she wanted to use her bomb. Maybe it was because she'd been taken prisoner there. She wasn't really sure. She knew it wasn't sound practice to visit a location previously attacked. It was the only location she hadn't personally attacked. Not only would the authorities have an eye on each of the locations, it was possible some of the original group would as well. Anyone who showed up and seemed interested in a location, would become a potential target.

She was aware she'd been lucky so far in her encounters. There'd been a lot in a very short period of time. Maybe it was because everyone in her cell had reached Ascension except her. She felt the loose poison tooth in her mouth. He gave her comfort to know Ascension was always near. She felt she'd earned it with everything that happened in the last few days.

Her head bobbed one time. Her eyes shot back open. She was now in the other lane of the highway she'd been on. She must have drifted over. She was glad she hadn't drifted over onto the other side and into the opposing traffic. There wasn't much. It only took one car to slam into hers head on.

She quickly took two more of the anti drowsy tablets. She'd found a half full water bottle in the vehicle. She took a couple of sips from it to wash the tablets down. She looked at the package. She decided to take two more. She took them out and washed them down with another sip of water. She knew she should rest. She was sure she wasn't too far away from her final rest. She wanted to get the targets while they were still available. She was sure most of them would either strengthen their operation or redeploy the next morning.

She spotted a vehicle in the opposing traffic. It was a police car. She was a little worried since she was driving a stolen vehicle. She'd just taken some amphetamines. If she got pulled over there was going to be a problem. She didn't have any identification on her. There were weapons in the vehicle. There was blood on her from several deceased individuals. Her fingerprints were probably at multiple locations where there were homicides. She reached down and touched her pistol. She'd killed at least three gang bangers with it and a few Grays. She watched in her side view mirror.

The police cruiser made a U-turn and started to trail her. She reached behind the driver's seat and moved one of the long guns up to the front. It was an M4. She would use it against the policeman as he walked from his car towards hers. Even if he had a vest on, the impact of the bullets was going to knock him down. She would finish him off with a head shot before she drove away. She wasn't going to prison. She didn't want to use her poison tooth until she needed to. A higher level of Ascension could be achieved if she died fighting the enemy. It was what she planned to do.


Earlier:

Hank and Larry were told to leave the area and continue their pursuit of the female Fanatic. They left behind all of the captured phones and hard drives they had with them. Cameron's Terminator would collect everything and take it away for further processing. There were actually two Terminators who would arrive at the building to collect everything. They weren't sure what they were up to prior to their new assignment. They knew it was best not to ask. It was doubtful they would receive an answer anyway.

They were told there was another operation in progress which seemed to keep growing in size. They were informed they may be pulled off of their current mission if it was determined they were needed elsewhere.

They were a little disappointed to receive the information. They were reminded Savannah was on the operation. It was all they needed to hear. They would respond immediately if they were required.

They were currently in a loose pursuit of the female Fanatic.

"I hope we're able to terminate her before we're called away." Hank said.

Larry watched the drone footage above her.

"Her driving was somewhat erratic." Larry said. "I don't know if she was injured in any of her encounters."

Hank watched a replay of her driving.

"She may be injured." Hank said. "She may have also fallen asleep."

Larry watched a new development unfold.

"There's a police car in back of her now." Larry said. "It made a U-turn and pulled behind her."

Hank glanced at the footage.

"I doubt he will be there for very long." Hank said. "I'm pretty sure the vehicle won't come back as stolen."

Larry understood what he meant. CamNet would probably intervene on behalf of the female Fanatic again to allow her to reach her next objective.

Hank spotted two vehicles moving fast in the direction they'd come from.

"There are two cars of gang bangers going in the direction we left." Hank said.

Larry knew gangs were out of control in the Southland. The police did little to interfere with them because they were always accused of being 'racist' when they stopped them from committing a crime. There would usually be some type of altercation. It would escalate into a police shooting. The police would be accused of being racist for killing the suspect. It didn't matter if they were shooting at the police or even had shot one of them before the police returned fire. It really didn't make any sense to him. If the criminals didn't put themselves into harm's way by their own choice, they wouldn't be accosted by the police in the first place. There would be no police shooting. He wondered how everyone could be so ignorant and not be able to figure it out.

He was worried about Cameron's Terminators collecting the materials from the last location they'd left.

"We don't want them to spot the box truck that's collecting everything." Larry said.

Hank didn't think Cameron's Terminators would have any trouble dealing with them.

"I think they're in for a surprise if they try." Hank said.

Larry wanted to disable their vehicles before they could reach the area.

"I think we can slow them down." Larry said. "A few flat tires should do the trick."

Larry reached in the back and pulled out a suppressed M4.

Hank made a U-turn. He quickly caught up with the two vehicles of gang bangers.

Larry leaned out the window with the M4 and fired four times. He watched the two vehicles swerve. They'd each received two flat tires. They weren't going far, even if they drove on the rims.

Hank quickly made a right at the next street.

"I think if they were upset before, they're going to be even more upset now." Hank said.


The female Fanatic was going to shoot the policeman when she was stopped. She could see blue and red flashing lights coming towards her.

Great, she figured the policeman may have called in backup. Maybe Ascension was a little closer than she'd anticipated.

Much to her surprise the police car behind her turned on its lights and made a U-turn in front of the other approaching police car. It appeared they'd received a new call to respond to. She was going to dump the vehicle when the next opportunity presented itself.

She continued on towards her next target.


Hank and Larry were informed by CamNet of what was going to happen. They watched it unfold from several of the drones over the area.

The two disabled gang vehicles pulled over to the curb. There were six occupants who got out of the vehicles to see what the problem was. There were police cars approaching them from two directions. There were three total. One came from in front of the gang bangers. The other two came from behind them.

The police cars pulled up on the gang bangers and exited their vehicles with weapons drawn. There was no shootout. The gang bangers raised their hands and surrendered. They knew once they were arrested, they would be released without bail like they normally were. It would put about a two hour dent in their nocturnal activities. They would be able to resume them quickly. They would simply need to get their vehicles out of impound and buy new weapons on the street. The only trouble was, they wouldn't be able to help their friends who called for help. They didn't know their friends were beyond help.

Hank and Larry were soon in trail of the female Fanatic again.

Larry watched the drone footage.

"It looks like she's slowing." Larry said.

Hank looked over at the drone image.

"It's too early to tell what her target is." Hank said.

Larry hoped to wrap things up soon.

"Maybe this will be her last stop." Larry said.

Hank hoped to terminate her.

"I would like to make it her last stop." Hank said.

They didn't want to get too close to where she was at.

Hank and Larry slowed as they approached the female Fanatics location.


The female Fanatic followed the instructions on her phone to the address she wanted to check out. It was on a side street. She made the turn and realized she was the only vehicle around. She looked a little further as she approached. There were two other vehicles parked near the location. She was the only moving vehicle.

She would need to pass both vehicles to reach her objective. She maintained a steady driving speed so she didn't attract attention to herself. She looked at the first vehicle as she passed. It appeared to be empty. She saw some movement in the second vehicle when she passed. Someone had ducked down so they wouldn't be spotted. They'd waited too long and she saw them.

Red flags immediately went off in her head. There was either someone watching the same location she wanted to check out, or someone was there waiting for her. Either way it looked like a problem.

The female Fanatic thought there were a lot of players on the field. Things seemed to pick up over the last few days. She wasn't really sure why. It seemed each of the groups were fighting each other actively. She was the only one left of her cell. She would do her duty to protect SkyMaster and the future.


Mount Up Cowboy

The dull routine of life
Offers little happiness and joy
One needs to make sure
They're not caught in a ploy

Who will be honest
Who will be true
Will they only respond
If it involves voodoo

It's all about the self
Some seek to enjoy
They get what they want
They don't care what they destroy

It soon becomes evident
When all one does is take
They find it hard to admit
They've made a big mistake

No one wants to end up
As another's used toy
When they find the one
It's time to mount up cowboy

Nobody
