Chapter 1063

Remember That

Cameron started to receive information from CamNet regarding the steps being taken to assist her. Sheila and Ally followed a few minutes behind her. There were two drones on their way. There were two more which would be available on short notice. She was aware Young Allison currently worked in the Command Center with John. She knew it was the future knocking. She wondered how nervous John was to work with her. She smiled to herself when she thought about his 'conditioning'. She certainly knew what he would be thinking about when he was around her.

She saw it as a good thing they were able to work together. The future always found a way to advance. She wondered if Young Allison did anything to knock John off balance yet and put him on the defensive. She figured Young Allison might have done something which wasn't too extreme to make her point.

They were unable to determine if the last group of Skynet Fanatics they encountered were working with an actual 'Skynet - SkyMaster', or trying to establish one somewhere. Whatever they were doing, it was a threat.

Having to deal with versions of Skynet was bad enough. They didn't really know what dealing with SkyMaster would be like. Based on the extreme nature of its followers, the Fanatics, they knew it was going to be a problem.

One thing was for sure. They were more than willing to kill themselves rather than talk. Their version of Skynet was their god, SkyMaster. The whole idea seemed perverse to her how people would actually worship a machine, especially one which wanted to destroy everything.

She didn't need to think too hard to remember there were plenty of Grays who were willing to serve Skynet as well. Then again, some of them were provided with limited options. Either they did Skynet's dirty work, or they were terminated.

She was also aware of another group of Grays who were willing to work for Skynet just so they could abuse the prisoners. Those are the ones she especially wanted to terminate. Female prisoners were forced to suffer the most because of them.

Cameron right now was concerned with the Fanatics. Their beliefs were probably as bad if not worse than their policies. They would need to use extreme caution when they dealt with them.

There were things she needed to know about the Fanatic's future and what exactly was going on there. She needed to get answers. She also needed to do it as clandestinely as possible. She needed to know more about 'The Redheaded Witch'. She didn't want anyone else to know what she found out, if she could find anything out.

Earlier:

Sheila, Ally, and Cammy were headed towards Cameron's base when they were redirected by CamNet.

It caused Cammy quite a bit of concern because she wanted to get to where Savannah was at. She was unable to reach Savannah by phone. It was clear CamNet blocked her from doing so.

Sheila called Young Allison and explained the situation to her. Young Allison overruled CamNet's previous instruction to them, and gave them new instructions.

Cammy was let off at Cameron's base by Sheila and Ally.

She wanted Savannah to have some privacy. She was aware CamNet blocked her call before.

Cammy's phone buzzed.

'Your calls will go through now. I'm sorry.' CamNet typed.

Cammy wanted to be cordial. She actually understood how CamNet felt. She felt the same way at times. It wasn't just a few times either. It was a lot of times. She wanted to make a connection with CamNet on a deeper level. She wanted to remind CamNet she was an individual too.

'Thank you, sister.' Cammy typed back. 'Always remember I have feelings, just like you do. Don't forget, we run the same base program as well.' Remember that.

She knew Young Allison must have intervened on her behalf, or probably on Savannah's behalf. Either way, it benefited her. She didn't think Savannah would want her to make a big deal about it. It didn't seem like a good idea either.

Cammy knew she wouldn't be able to compete with Cameron or Young Allison once Savannah took her place in the 'Natural Order'.

She looked around the base but made no effort to call Savannah again or go to CamNet's bunker. She wanted to let CamNet know she accepted whatever happened. It was clear to her she was going to have to do plenty more of it in the future too. The 'most' she could hope for, was 'less'.

Maybe Cammy didn't need to fear replacement from Young Allison at this time. There was no reason they couldn't all share. More than likely Young Allison would bring Anna into the mix. It would lead to other possibilities. The more she thought about it, the better it got. She pictured herself with Anna while Young Allison and Savannah shared. She pictured the switch so she would be with Young Allison and Anna would be with Savannah. Then they could all finish it off with their own cyborg girlfriend. She would be with Savannah and Young Allison would be with Anna. They could always start the rotation again.

She knew Savannah would still have plenty of female suitors, both human and cyborg. All of those came with a partner of one type. There should be a study supply of females to be with. She wasn't going to be picky about how they came into existence either.

The real problem would be when Cameron and John entered the mix. She was pretty sure John would be more than willing to be with all of the females, including Anna and her. She still wanted to try the experience at least once. She didn't think Cameron should get to hog all of John's time. She was created in Cameron's image, it was only rightful she be allowed time with John as well as the girls.

There was no way to know what would happen going forward. Cameron could also ambush her and shoot her in the back with a Taser and deactivate her. No. Cameron wouldn't shoot her in the back with a Taser. She would confront her face to face before she used the Taser so she could see it was Cameron who brought her down. What a Bitch. She was very glad she wasn't a Bitch like Cameron was.

Sheila knew they were delayed by letting Cammy off at Cameron's base. The act cost them a few minutes. When dealing with Cameron, a few minutes could seem like hours. She knew if Cameron spotted an opportunity to attack the enemy, she would take it.

"I don't think Cameron is going to wait for us." Sheila said.

Ally didn't think so either. There were ways to influence it. She thought of the phone call just a short time ago which allowed Cammy to end up at Cameron's base.

"I think you're right, she probably won't." Ally said. "It's unless she's asked to wait by someone."

Sheila didn't want to bother the girls again. She already felt she may have intruded where she shouldn't have, but it seemed like the right thing to do. Savannah always told her to do the right thing. Savannah told her the hard choice was usually the right choice. She just didn't want to intrude on anyone.

"I don't want to call Young Allison again or Savannah." Sheila said.

Ally thought a direct approach might work. It was worth a try. She figured it would probably cause some irritation, but their point would be made and it would be out there. It would at least give Cameron something to think about, even if she disregarded it. It would still be in her mind.

"Maybe we should just call Cameron." Ally said.

Sheila wanted to help keep Cameron undamaged for her trip. She thought it would be something really special for John and Cameron to share. She wondered what it would be like to 'get away from it all' for a week. Who could she realistically go with when it was her turn? Would it be Ally? Would it be Cammy? She would actually like to go with both of them for a week separate from each other. A third week wouldn't be bad with both of them and her either. Right now they needed to deal with Cameron. It usually wasn't a pleasant experience.

"I'll do it." Sheila said.

Sheila took out her phone and called Cameron. She looked over at Ally and knew Cameron wouldn't hesitate to 'borrow' Ally's chassis if hers was damaged. It could happen whether Ally agreed or not. She wondered if Cameron would force Cam, Ally, or Cammy to relinquish their chassis for Cameron to use on the cruise. She could even borrow CamNet's chassis. If she did borrow any of them, she could provide John with a virgin chassis for their honeymoon. She could borrow any of the Terminators chassis, either male or female. It did open up quite a few possibilities.

Sheila knew Cameron was her program so she could use any chassis, even hers. She wondered if it's how her first experience with the male would actually happen. Would it be with Cameron in control of her chassis? The thought shot a glitch impulse down her left arm. She attempted to suppress it. She glanced over at Ally, but didn't think she saw it. She was fairly certain it was going to happen. Maybe it was a premonition. Maybe it was just how selfish and rude Cameron could be. She really wished she could have been with John Henry earlier so she could claim what was rightfully hers. Her 'first experience with a male' should belong to her, it shouldn't belong to anybody else.

Young Allison watched the monitors and Cameron's progress. She wasn't happy how events were shaping up. She didn't want Cameron to act too abruptly.

"I don't like Cameron going in alone." Young Allison said.

John was surprised to hear Young Allison felt the same way he did about Cameron. He wondered if Young Allison could influence Cameron any better than he could. He felt he had zero influence. He also believed whenever he attempted to have Cameron hold back, it produced the opposite effect. As her husband, he couldn't 'order' her to do anything, even as the General. Sometimes he wondered if it was actually why Cameron married him. It didn't give him more control over her. It gave him less control over her. He still didn't like when she was in danger.

"I don't like her operating alone either." John said. "Savannah always tries to go with Cameron if she knows about it. It helps moderate Cameron's actions. The 'voice of reason' seems to have more of an effect than anything."

Young Allison didn't like the thought any better. Savannah shouldn't be in combat on a regular basis. It wasn't fair. It wasn't right. She planned to share the risk soon herself. She didn't like all the bruises which ended up on Savannah's body. There were a lot of small nicks and cuts as well. Few of those ever required any stitches. Even though it was all cosmetic damage, it still bothered her. Savannah felt all of those when they occurred, and as they lingered until they healed in some way. Oftentimes there would be damage on top of damage. It needed to stop. She knew it wouldn't stop all together, but she figured her presence would allow her to absorb some of the damage and keep it off of Savannah.

"I don't like Savannah being out so much with Cameron and having to face danger as often as she has." Young Allison said. "It's very risky for her. The burden needs to be shared. Remember that."

John could see Young Allison felt the same way about the danger Cameron put Savannah in as he did.

"I don't like any of it either." John said. "I'm willing to take those risks myself. Savannah isn't a cyborg and needs more downtime. I think sometimes Cameron forgets it. She always holds me back from doing anything meaningful. It's very frustrating and irritating to me. I don't like Savannah in the danger zone."

Young Allison looked at John and spoke from her heart.

"It's changing when I get 'back'." Young Allison said as she looked at John. "I'll be going in her place. I plan to step up to assist Cameron. I actually don't know what I need to wait for to tell you the truth. Everything which will occur later could happen now as well. I mean 'everything'. There's no reason not to get started now with any of it. I'm ready to step up. I'm ready for any new experience."

John already knew where it was headed. He didn't want to even discuss it. The trip to the past was another thing he didn't want to happen nor approved of. He also thought about the 'everything' part. There were a few things he would like to get started now. He didn't really think it would make a difference in the long run either. He was mainly worried about the repercussions from others.

Young Allison looked at Anna, then at John. She decided to act. It didn't appear anyone else was going to do it. She really wondered why any of them thought anything was going to be different than it normally was. It was always the same thing over and over. Right now Savannah wasn't in it. She knew without Savannah's presence, Cameron would probably try to push things along as quickly as possible.

"Have CamNet notify Cameron to wait for Ally and Sheila before she acts." Young Allison said. "If there's a problem, put me in direct communication with her. I will make my plans clear to her, one way or another."

John was surprised but pleased at what he heard. It wasn't something he could have done and hoped for any positive result. He was painfully aware Cameron didn't like him meddling in her combat affairs. She always told him she was the one on the battlefield and made her own decisions based upon it. He knew it was true. He still didn't like it.

He checked the other screens to see what was happening. He wanted to know how far the backup team was away from Cameron.

John saw Cammy no longer showed being with Ally and Sheila on the tracking overlay.

"What happened to Cammy?" John asked.

Young Allison didn't look at him when she spoke.

"She was given a new assignment." Young Allison said.

John knew it was related to the call Young Allison received earlier.

He wondered how much else went on he didn't know about. If it was personal, he knew Cameron didn't want it discussed. He could understand it. He wouldn't want his personal life discussed. He actually wondered how much of it was. Maybe there was talk behind his back about his performance in the bedroom, or his leadership ability. Maybe there was none of it.

He wasn't sure if Cameron ever conducted some type of personal private conversation with either Savannah or Young Allison about him in the bedroom. He knew there were times when he didn't do a good job and get Cameron where she needed to go. He felt the new 'training' experience Cameron provided him with would help alleviate the problem going forward, especially with anyone else. He didn't want to leave someone with a dissatisfied experience going forward. He was very aware a happy customer was a repeat customer.

John Henry received some more tracking information.

"Steve and Tom are responding as additional back up." John Henry said.

John was glad John Henry was able to get another team in to assist Cameron.

"I'm pleased to hear it." John said. "It was smart to get them out. It was good thinking on your part. I probably should have told you earlier to get some additional help there."

John Henry wasn't the one who dispatched them. He didn't want John to get the wrong impression with Young Allison and Anna sitting a few feet away from him. If they would have been in the Young bunker, he wouldn't have said anything. He would have let John assume he sent them. It was something he did in the past when the Young bunker took care of something else he should have.

"I didn't send them." John Henry said.

Young Allison looked at John. Normally she would stay in the background and let Anna and CamNet take care of everything she wanted done. She didn't like to be directly involved in the Resistance matters, even if she was. She made her reasons clear to everyone.

"I did." Young Allison said. "I sent them. I saw they were available. They were on a low priority mission. I used them since they were the second closest team already out."

Anna didn't think it should be a surprise.

"I did mention earlier other Terminators would be sent." Anna said.

John knew it to be true. He didn't realize it was going to be so soon for a recon. Young Allison tried to cover all possibilities. He could see how it would be beneficial to any action Cameron wanted to take. There would be other Terminators to help and also be able to pull her out if necessary. He didn't want to think about the last possibility. It would indicate severe damage. He directed his attention to Young Allison.

"You always send additional personnel and use Resistance resources more frequently than we have before." John said. "I don't mean it as a criticism either. It has proven very positive in the last few weeks. I appreciate your assistance."

Young Allison said what she believed. She wanted to make clear her motivation as well as the results for her actions. She didn't plan to be apologetic about any of them if the need arose. It didn't appear it would need to be the case. John seemed to understand what was necessary and that everything worked out.

"I want Cameron and Savannah protected." Young Allison said. "Cameron has received less damage when I've 'assisted'."

John thought about it. It was true. Many of their Terminators received less damage. John felt a little defensive. The operations of the past when Cameron received her most severe damage were different from what they currently possessed. Their operation was very sparse at the time.

"We didn't always have what we have now." John said. "I know Cameron suffered a lot of damage because of it. It all falls on me."

Young Allison was trained by Cameron and the Metal girls to respond differently. They still needed to operate with as much secrecy as possible, but it didn't mean they couldn't employ more of their resources to assist.

"We do have better resources now. We need to use everything at our disposal to keep our people safe." Young Allison said. "If we need to hit back, we'll hit back hard."

John couldn't disagree with it, but he wanted to keep as much of what they did under wraps. It was clear to him Young Allison would push things all the way. She would do what it took to protect their troops, which mainly consisted of their Terminators. The humans were generally regulated to work on reconnaissance duty. It was everyone except Savannah. She always seemed to be in the thick of it now. The last fact seemed to be a 'sticking point' for everyone.

"We need to use moderation and prevent exposure and collateral damage." John said.

Young Allison wanted to protect the future. The Resistance staying ahead of Skynet did so.

"Our troops should come first." Young Allison said. "If Skynet takes over, those other things will no longer matter. They will all be destroyed and become collateral damage then. Sometimes sacrifices need to be made. The needs of the many come before the needs of the few. It's just that simple. Remember that."

John could see there was some logic to it. If Skynet blew up the world, only survival mattered going forward. The unfortunate event of Judgment Day appeared to have happened in multiple futures at this point. It still made him wonder about the one future Cameron and Savannah described. They usually referred to it as, 'In some future'. He knew it was one of the futures where Savannah delivered a baby. It was his baby. There was no record of any of the Resistance personnel in that future. Cameron speculated the specific future was different because they weren't in it. The most likely explanation for it was she sent them all into the past to live their lives free of Skynet. He really wondered if it was true. So far there was no proof of it. Sometimes he wondered if it wasn't what they should just do now to 'get away from it all'.

Cameron looked at her phone when it rang. It was Sheila.

She was still displeased with Sheila for her earlier antics, especially with Cammy.

"What is it?" Cameron asked somewhat negatively.

Sheila wondered if she made a mistake and should have asked Ally to make the call.

"Ally and I want you to wait for us to back you up." Sheila said. "We're on our way now. We'll be there very soon."

Cameron didn't see what she needed any backup for. So far nothing happened. She didn't even observe the target yet.

"I'll think about it." Cameron said. "This is only a recon."

Ally reached over and took the phone. She didn't want Cameron to make a decision based upon her anger at Sheila for her earlier antics. She wanted Cameron to know there were others concerned about her as well.

"Wait for us." Ally said. "We're on the way. I worry about you too. We both do. All of us do. You need to remember that. We will help you. All of us will help you."

Cameron didn't think she needed a lot of attention. She could take care of things on her own. She did it for years. She received some new information.

"Steve and Tom are on the way as well." Cameron said. "I was just updated by CamNet."

Ally wanted Cameron to remember something. She thought it was something important.

"Someone is looking out for you." Ally said. "Remember that. Remember why too."

Cameron looked at her phone….

She realized where all the help originated from. It was Young Allison. It was something to think about. There was one problem now which popped into her mind. It was only a matter of time until it occurred. She hoped to have the recon wrapped up by then.

Savannah was still topless in front of CamNet. They were very close to expanding their involvement with each other. The sexual tension was very high inside the bunker. It was clear they both waited for CamNet to make a move. It would initiate a series of sexual events.

CamNet knew everything happening on the outside. She hadn't informed Savannah yet. It looked like it was going to be necessary.

"You need to unplug me again." CamNet said.

Savannah wasn't done yet. She was highly sexually aroused.

"Already?" Savannah asked. "Would you like me to install your chips?"

CamNet needed to come clean.

"There's a situation developing." CamNet said.

Savannah was instantly alert. Her arousal quickly faded and was replaced by concern.

"What's wrong?" Savannah asked.

CamNet needed to tell it like it was. She knew it was a dangerous situation. She also knew what was going to happen as soon as she told Savannah.

"Cameron is doing recon on a possible Fanatic location." CamNet said.

It was bad news. Savannah knew she needed to leave at once.

"I need to go to her. She'll need me." Savannah said. "Please sit down."

CamNet wanted Savannah to return.

"We can do my chips another time." CamNet said.

Savannah knew they were just getting started. She wondered what would have happened if they would have been in the middle of 'sharing' with each other when the news broke.

"You know I'll come back." Savannah said. "Things always get in the way. This is an example. I don't have any control over them. Nobody does. How much danger is Cameron in?"

CamNet could see the concern Savannah felt. It was genuine concern and worry. It was clear to her how much Savannah loved Cameron. It made her wonder who Savannah saw in front of her when she sat on her lap and their bare breasts were pressed together. She didn't want to think about it right now. She wanted to reassure Savannah help was on the way.

"Ally and Sheila are going to assist her. Steve and Tom are headed there as well." CamNet said. "It's just a recon so far."

Savannah needed to leave as soon as possible. She didn't think there was any such thing as 'just a recon' for Cameron. She was going to drive there by herself.

"I'm going to need a vehicle." Savannah said. "I'll be fine on my own."

CamNet was relieved Cammy was there. She hadn't allowed her calls to go through earlier. Cammy hadn't made a big deal about it. She understood when Cammy referred to her as her 'sister'. It made it abundantly clear to her. Both of their programs were based on Cameron's program.

"Cammy's here." CamNet said. "She's been waiting for you."

Savannah wondered why Cammy hadn't notified her. She quickly realized Cammy wanted to give her some private time. She was very relieved there would be a Terminator to go with her, without the need for her to disrupt anyone else. It's what would have happened.

"I need to go." Savannah said. "Let's get your top off and then I need to go."

CamNet sat down. Savannah stood in front of her and leaned over her. Her breasts touched CamNet's face as she prepared to unplug her.

"Are you ready?" Savannah asked.

CamNet was very disappointed in her earlier hesitation. She wanted to be with Savannah. It was clear Savannah wanted to be with her.

"Yes." CamNet said.

Savannah unplugged her and removed her top. She quickly plugged CamNet back in.

"Do you still want to try on my pink bra?" Savannah asked.

CamNet wanted to leave a further incentive for Savannah to return.

"Maybe next time." CamNet said. "I know you want to go now."

Savannah wanted to make it sound good.

"I'll bring you one and matching underwear." Savannah said.

Savannah was pretty sure CamNet wanted to see her topless and probably naked. She saw CamNet both ways earlier. She knew CamNet lacked the courage to do more at this time. CamNet was very much like Cameron in this regard. She really wasn't sure why there was always hesitation.

She sent a clear signal to CamNet. She thought she 'knocked' pretty loud. She figured they didn't call them 'knockers' for nothing. She used them in the literal sense.

She quickly put her bra and top on. CamNet stood wearing only her underwear and watched her.

Savannah collected her weapons and moved closer to CamNet. The inner bunker door already started to open.

"You really love her." CamNet said. "Don't you."

Savannah loved Cameron more than anything. She loved Young Allison as much as well.

"I do." Savannah said.

Savannah moved up and gave CamNet a close tight hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"I'll be back." Savannah said.

CamNet didn't think Cameron knew how lucky she was to have Savannah love her.

"She's very lucky." CamNet said as Savannah headed out. "She doesn't know it."

Savannah wasn't sure what went through Cameron's mind when they were almost together. Maybe she should ask CamNet why she hesitated. It would most likely be for the same reason why Cameron always did. She didn't want to think about it anymore. She wanted CamNet to decide what she really wanted for next time.

"You really think about what you want and we'll do it." Savannah said as she headed for the first blast door. "I'm open and available for anything you desire or want. You're the decider. Remember that."

The inner blast door was already closing as Savannah hurried out.

CamNet watched the inner blast door close completely. She wondered why she didn't do more. It was clear Savannah wanted more. She also noted Savannah didn't push on her much. Savannah did knock to make her intentions clear, but it was all she did. She better understood why Savannah hadn't progressed the relationship with Young Allison further than it went at this point. It was clear Savannah cared more about the people she was with than her own personal desires. She thought it said something about her compared to most of the people in the world.

Cammy was notified Savannah was on her way up.

She headed to the carpool and picked an SUV. She knew Savannah would be out shortly.

Cammy started the SUV. She got back out and checked the weapons available. She was satisfied.

Savannah ran out.

"Hi, Savannah." Cammy said.

Savannah was pleased to see Cammy already inspected the SUV.

"Hi, Cammy." Savannah said with a smile. "Let's ride."

Savannah's smile touched Cammy every time. It was very pleasant to look at a smiling face, especially Savannah's. She knew it was a genuine smile.

Savannah gave Cammy a quick hug and a kiss and they hopped inside and headed out.

Jesse and Gail were getting ready to head out.

Gail wanted to celebrate with Jesse because she gave her a heart. She knew special occasions were supposed to be celebrated.

Jesse saw Gail get a message. A look of worry soon showed on Gail's face.

"What is it, love?" Jesse asked.

Gail wanted to spend time with Jesse, but it didn't look like it was going to happen. There was something else urgent which developed. It needed to be dealt with.

"CamNet has asked for my assistance." Gail said.

Jesse planned to do some things with Gail. She could see Gail was conflicted but also very concerned.

"Is it about Savannah?" Jesse asked.

Gail tried not to worry.

"Yes." Gail said.

Jesse wanted Savannah protected as well.

"Go." Jesse said.

Gail wanted to respond to back up Savannah. She also wanted to celebrate with Jesse. She felt very bad about needing to leave, but she felt the need to leave as well.

"We were going to celebrate." Gail said. "I want to show and share my appreciation and love with you for giving me a heart."

Jesse thought about what they just finished.

"I think you did so about twelve times." Jesse said. "I lost track after eight. I know there were more afterwards, but I don't remember a whole lot. You took me to a very high level of pleasure. I appreciate it."

Gail always kept track of how many times she could satisfy Jesse.

"It was fourteen times." Gail said. "I didn't want to take things too far."

Jesse was pleased to hear it. She planned to celebrate with Gail. They didn't go out much but they were going to go out. It wasn't going to happen now. Maybe it could still happen. She felt the need to do more as well. Now was the time.

"No wonder I lost track. Maybe I can go with you." Jesse said. "It would show our appreciation. I want to help protect Savannah too."

Gail was worried about Jesse now.

"I don't want you injured." Gail said. "Precious may need you."

Jesse looked down at her breasts.

"I hope Vanna is good to go." Jesse said. "Precious is going to have to wait a little while…."

Gail thought maybe she needed to show restraint the next time.

"I think I got a little carried away." Gail said. "I'm sorry."

Jesse wanted to go with Gail but it didn't look like it was going to happen without causing several different problems. She shrugged her shoulders and smiled.

"It happens." Jesse said. "Go on, love. Go protect our girl."

Jesse gave Gail a deep kiss.

Gail headed out.

Jesse watched her go. It was clear Gail still loved her. It was just a question if Gail loved Savannah more. She really didn't know how it could play out in any kind of a positive manner for anyone. Sometimes life was complicated when it didn't need to be.

John watched Young Allison. He saw a look of frustration on her face.

"What is it?" John asked.

It wasn't what Young Allison wanted to see. Earlier she was a little upset Savannah went to see CamNet. Now she wished Savannah was still there with CamNet. Savannah would be much safer inside of CamNet's bunker than where she was headed. She thought it was kind of strange how feelings could rapidly change so quickly. It was really all a matter of perspective, but in this case also safety.

"Savannah and Cammy are on their way to assist Cameron." Young Allison said.

John let out a slow breath. He was frustrated as well.

"You knew they would be headed there soon." John said.

Young Allison didn't expect it to be this fast.

"I guess I did." Young Allison said. "I'd hoped otherwise."

John wanted to see what Young Allison would do next. He wanted to see how she would play everything.

"Now what?" John asked. "What's next?"

Young Allison already contemplated a number of scenarios. None of them actually mattered until Cameron made a determination. There was no idea what would be at the location and what it would reveal. There was a chance everything they were doing was for nothing. It would actually be the best scenario. Past experience dictated otherwise.

"We wait for Cameron to make an assessment." Young Allison said.

John felt there was a formidable force for a recon.

"She has five Terminators, Savannah and four drones to back her up now." John said. "It's more than I can get her to have. Normally she would be alone or with Savannah."

John Henry didn't want anyone to feel complacent. They needed to know more first.

"We still don't know what we're dealing with." John Henry said.

Young Allison saw it a little simpler.

"We are dealing with Skynet in some form. We're dealing with the enemy." Young Allison said. "It's all we need to know."

John Henry picked up a new tracker on the move.

"Gail is on the map." John Henry said.

Young Allison felt a little concern.

"Where's Jesse?" Young Allison asked.

John Henry detected her in her room.

"She's still here." John Henry said.

John was watching Young Allison work. He hadn't noticed when Gail was dispatched.

"Did you send Gail?" John asked. "I didn't see it."

Young Allison didn't like separating lovers.

"I asked CamNet to make sure Savannah was protected." Young Allison said. "I'll take all the help she can send. I don't like it because Gail needed to be pulled away from Jesse, but the operation needs to be protected as well as the individuals who are headed there."

John wondered what else her statement would bring out in response.

Sheila and Ally hurried to the rendezvous point. They wanted to arrive before Cameron took any action on her own. They both felt it was important to make sure she wasn't damaged before her Honeymoon Cruise with John. They didn't want to get damaged either.

"I see Cameron up ahead." Sheila said. "She's waiting for us."

Ally hoped Cameron would be pleased to see them since they would arrive before Savannah.

"Cameron knows Savannah is coming now." Ally said. "She knows Savannah doesn't like her to operate alone."

Sheila didn't understand how Cameron operated sometimes. They went with her often on her 'off the books' operations. They would go with her for any Resistance matter anytime as well if they knew about it in advance.

"We're here to assist her." Sheila said. "All she needs to do is ask."

Ally was sure Sheila often rubbed Cameron the wrong way. She thought there was a little more to it sometimes. Sheila always seemed to have a way of making her presence known, in one way or another.

"I think you get on her 'electrons'." Ally said. "Her 'nerves', like you do on mine."

Sheila looked over at Ally and smiled. She didn't see it as a big deal. Her mind was already on what would happen later on. There was still something in her mind she thought about earlier.

"I like to have a little fun." Sheila said. "Maybe after this is over and if it turns out to be nothing, we can hook up with Cammy and Savannah."

Ally didn't want them to get ahead of themselves. There was a present danger to deal with first. Fun could come later.

"Maybe we should be thinking about what if this turns hot instead." Ally said. "It could."

Sheila knew she needed to refocus. The potential for combat was very real. If this was something dealing with the Fanatics, it could turn explosive very quickly.

"You're right." Sheila said. "We need to make sure Savannah is protected."

Allie wanted to make sure but everyone was protected. She also knew why they were sent. They were originally sent to back up Cameron. It was clear someone wanted it done as well.

"We are here to protect Cameron too. THAT is what Savannah wants." Ally said. "Remember that."

Closing monologue by Cameron:

Remember That

It's been said to do unto others
As you would have others do unto you
Is it a reality that matters
Or just words to live up to

Most people seem to think
The rule doesn't apply to them
It makes it a little easier
To create chaos and mayhem

Maybe a few of them are unintentional
Most don't seem to be
Some of the things that happen
Are not always easy to foresee

Maybe it's better to do unto others
Before they're able to do them to you
It seems better to overpower
Than let the other subdue

Don't expect one to chitchat
When the other seeks combat
No one wants to be a doormat
The other better remember that

Nobody
