Chapter 1192

I Am Part Of You

Sheila, Ally, and Hanna watched the Rockabilly Trio play again for the full half hour. The three of them were confident they could play any tune in rockabilly style. They looked forward to trying later on after most of the people were asleep. Well, at least in bed anyway. More than likely there would be quite a bit of celebratory sex amongst the passengers who were all excited about their new journey.

Ally would glance over at Sheila periodically. Twice she saw a tear in Sheila's eye she tried to secretly wipe away before it ran down her cheek. She felt she should say something to her. She really didn't know what to say. She was pretty sure anything she said would only make things worse.

It was clear to Ally how much Sheila was upset about what Cameron wanted to do. She decided she would volunteer instead. It would buy Sheila at least one more night before her chassis was defiled. She didn't blame John, she blamed Cameron. Those thoughts all occurred in a millisecond.

Hanna noticed Sheila secretly wiped away a few tears which formed in her eyes before anyone spotted them. She was aware why. She didn't look forward to the night she would need to be in John's bed with Cameron's chip in her chassis. She decided she would go first and get it over with. She didn't like to see Sheila hurt this way. It would give Sheila one more night before her chassis was violated. She wanted to blame John for what would happen. She knew it wasn't his fault. She didn't blame John, she blamed Cameron.

She possessed many of the 'memories' of what Vanna suffered being violated at such an early age and how it was done. She thought Sheila must be reliving the ones Jesse experienced as she grew up. Jesse's early years were almost as vile as Vanna's. Those thoughts all happened in a millisecond.

As far as the Rockabilly Trio went, she was ready to step up and give it a try. She hoped it would take their minds off of the inevitable.

They were all at the mercy of Cameron backed up by CamNet.

CamNet was everywhere. She was far more powerful than John Henry at this point. Hanna knew of CamNet's virtual 'assault' on Young Allison. Savannah stepped in and put an end to it. It made her wonder as to what the cost to Savannah was. Savannah would protect Young Allison from everyone she could.

Nobody was there to protect them.

Cameron watched the musical performance by the Rockabilly Trio with John. They didn't dance any for the first half of the performance. She hoped John would ask her, but he never did. Once the second set started she indicated what she wanted to do. He was reluctant to go out, but did because she wanted him too. She danced a few songs with John. She saw Sarah and Kyle dance as well under similar conditions. She smiled at the female influence. She wasn't really sure why females seemed to like to dance more than males did.

She thought it might stem from a genetic instinct to reproduce. There were numerous types of acts, 'dancing', and 'singing' by various animals to back up her theory. Whenever a female put herself on display, she was bound to attract suitors. It was one way for females to experience closeness to a male partner in a non invasive semi sexual way. It was clear to her males would rather experience the same closeness with a female, with their naked body on top of the female's naked body as they engaged in a sex act. The male was more than willing to do his business and not think of the consequences the female could face because of his two minute act of greed and selfishness.

Jim contacted Cameron through her com. She was contacted by Young Allison. It was an unexpected call. Jim told her it wasn't an emergency or even urgent. For her to be contacted by Young Allison was unusual in this setting. It was late on top of it. It must be important.

She wondered what must have gone wrong somewhere. She would have expected Savannah to call her first. Because it wasn't Savannah who called, maybe something happened to Savannah. She didn't know. She needed to find out. She immediately stopped dancing. She didn't want to spoil the festive mood for John.

"Dance with one of the girls, John." Cameron said.

Cameron's statement caught John off guard. He was more than a little confused at the sudden change. He noticed Cameron's demeanor was different now as well. He cut straight to the chase.

"Is there a problem?" John asked.

Cameron didn't want John concerned. It might be something private or personal as well.

"I need to check on a call." Cameron said. "There's nothing wrong."

John strongly doubted there wasn't something wrong somewhere. He didn't think Cameron would receive a call in the first place if there wasn't. He didn't think she would walk away from where she was at with him right now unless there was a problem.

Cameron led John over to Sheila, Ally, and Hanna.

She looked at John.

"Pick one." Cameron said.

Ally and Hanna both stood up at the same time. Sheila remained seated.

John was a little surprised at their zeal.

Ally and Hanna looked at each other and realized they were both thinking the same thing.

Cameron watched what Ally and Hanna just did and understood.

John looked at Sheila. She looked up at him. She stood and faced him.

Sheila knew she was the 'chosen one' in a different way. John chose her. It made her special.

She looked at Ally and Hanna. She smiled at them and nodded. She understood her friends were willing to stand up and take her place. She realized it was exactly what they just did, literally. She wanted to express her appreciation and let them know everything was under control.

"Thank you. You two dance with each other." Sheila said to Ally and Hanna. "I have this."

Sheila took John's hand and led him to the dance floor. She looked back at Ally and Hanna and silently thanked them again.

Cameron watched everything from the doorway before she went out. She saw Gail start to move up to reinforce her but she waved her off. Holly was still down the central walkway by the shops and restaurants.

She headed outside onto the open deck. She hoped it would give her a little more privacy.

Cammy headed straight to Savannah's room. She hoped to catch them before Cam started in on Savannah again. If Cam was in the process of pleasing Savannah, she wouldn't interrupt them. She wanted Savannah to have all the love and pleasure they could bestow on her. They tried to make up for all the sacrifice Savannah needed to endure as Cameron ran her around non stop.

She felt somehow she should have more control over what happened with Savannah. She didn't. Cameron was the one who controlled everything related to Savannah. She often wasn't allowed to go on any operations with Cameron and Savannah. She really didn't see why she couldn't go. She thought Savannah would say something to Cameron about it. It didn't seem to be the case. Maybe she did say something and Cameron ignored her. The more she thought about it, the more likely she thought it was probably the way things played out.

She knew how selfish, greedy and rude Cameron actually was. She was very pleased she wasn't a Bitch like Cameron was. She was fairly certain the only reason why Cameron wasn't already deactivated was because of Savannah. She knew Cameron was a clear and present danger to everyone around her all of the time. Now the Bitch was out of the current picture. She hoped Cameron stayed out of their hair for the entire week. She wondered if there was some way she couldn't get CamNet to change the cruise into a world cruise so Cameron would be gone for six months.

Cammy reached the door and listened.

Savannah was recovering some from Cam pleasuring her. It was a very long and intense session.

Cam was ready to start in again on Savannah once she was fully 'recovered'. She wasn't really sure Savannah was ready. She didn't want to overdo it and take Savannah to the edge. She knew Jesse liked to go as far and beyond. Sometimes it seemed a little too far. Savannah's condition was a little more delicate because she now carried Vanna's baby. She wanted to see what Savannah wanted without actually asking directly.

"Are you getting sleepy?" Cam asked.

Savannah did feel tired. Maybe she felt spent.

"A little bit." Savannah said. "I think I need to get up early tomorrow."

Cam didn't think Savannah needed to go to Ensenada to see the others off. If she did, Cameron would probably try to put the grab on her. She thought it was a bad idea for that reason alone. She wasn't sure she wanted to express her feelings in such a direct manner. She would try a more subtle and diplomatic approach.

"Cammy or I can go with Jesse, Claire, and the girls." Cam said. "You can get some rest. You've earned it."

Cam didn't like how Cameron drug Savannah around anymore than Cammy did. There were plenty of Terminators who could have gone in Savannah's place on all of those operations. Wait. Things might have played out differently if it were the case on some of the occasions. There were several operations where Cameron and even some of the other Terminators were incapacitated. Savannah was the one who stayed in the fight and kept the others safe. She still didn't agree with the way things happened.

There were several instances where Savannah needed to 'order' everyone away from danger when an explosion was about to occur, or some other catastrophic calamity. She stayed behind in Cameron's future when the nuclear weapon was about to explode because Cameron was damaged and couldn't leave. She figured out a way to make it so Cameron could use the temporal extraction and not be terminated.

Savannah wanted to put the team first. She needed to do her part. She wanted to do her part and help protect the others. She knew if she didn't do it herself, someone else would need to do it in her place. It wasn't what she wanted for anyone. It was also very much the same way Cameron thought and why she tried to do so much on her own.

She was a little worried about Claire, Jesse, and the girls arriving late to get on the ship at the first port in Ensenada. She was aware there was a lot of trouble with the different local drug cartels south of the border. There wasn't a single cartel in control but a bunch of little ones jockeying for the position. It made everything worse along with much more violence. It seemed to be death was the only thing any of them could produce.

"Maybe all three of us need to go." Savannah said. "I want to make sure they're protected."

Cam didn't think it would be necessary for Savannah to go. She wondered how far Savannah would take it. She could remain in the background, or it could become quite extensive.

"Do you still want to be in every port Cameron visits?" Cam asked.

It seemed like there was a lot Savannah needed to do. She was going to be spread pretty thin since there were several things she needed to do. She thought some of them were more important than others.

"It was a thought." Savannah said. "I need to visit CamNet and Young Allison too."

It slipped out from Cam before she knew it. It was what she believed, but she didn't intend to actually say it.

"You need to take it easy for a few days without Cameron here to run you around." Cam said.

Savannah didn't think the others understood. Everything she did with or for Cameron was her choice. It included fighting battles, or staying behind to be with Cameron in a 'terminal situation'. She would do every one of them again too. They were all things which needed to be done and they were all the right choice. She wanted to make it clear.

"I follow Cameron by choice." Savannah said. "Nobody makes me do anything I don't want to do on my own. If you think about some of the situations or incidents which occurred, I'm the one who put myself into those positions on my own. Cameron didn't have anything to do with them. I made those decisions myself."

Savannah loved Cameron. She really wasn't sure why it was so hard for everyone else to understand.

Cam thought Savannah looked troubled.

"Is something wrong?" Cam asked. "You seem a little worried."

Savannah expected one more to join them earlier. It hadn't happened yet.

"I thought Cammy was going to be with us." Savannah said.

Cam thought so too. There were other options available to Cammy. Perhaps she took advantage of one or more of them. She wondered if it was something Savannah might be interested in as well.

"She may be with Claire and Jesse or Vanna and Allison." Cam said. "We don't know exactly who is doing what, even if some of them should be resting for their big adventure tomorrow."

Savannah understood. There was a fine selection to choose from.

"I don't blame her." Savannah said. "If Cammy and you weren't here, I would go there myself. I would need to be mindful of the other's rest for their activity tomorrow."

Cam learned from Cammy in Cameron's future Savannah and Claire shared. It was much less prevalent since both of them returned to the past, the present.

"You've been with Claire before." Cam said.

Savannah was very pleased with what happened. It seemed they were various levels she could connect to different people with. There were a few self imposed restrictions she subjugated herself to.

"I have and I will be again. It was very beautiful. I don't like to do it in front of Allison and especially Young Allison." Savannah said. "I've been with Jesse too."

Cam was aware how much Vanna was opposed to Jesse being with Savannah.

"I've heard about it before." Cam said. "Vanna didn't want it to happen. I don't think she understood it was your desire even more so than it was Jesse's desire."

Savannah wanted it for a long time. She always thought Jesse would be her first. In a way it was. It was Young Jesse who was her first. She pursued Jesse relentlessly and continuously offered herself to her. She made her intentions and desires clear to Jesse. There were times when Jesse literally ran away from her. She didn't know at the time Jesse was afraid Vanna or Cameron would kill her. Jesse really believed it.

She wanted to be with a female and she believed Jesse was the one who would accommodate her. It took her a long time to finally be with Jesse. She was with Young Jesse several times by then. She knew Jesse was once Young Jesse and it was the only thing which really mattered to her.

"It did happen. It was my choice. I needed to ask Jesse many times before it happened. She was very hesitant. I needed to take her." Savannah said. "It was something I wanted for years."

It seemed to go back farther than Cam knew. She wanted to make sure.

"You wanted to be with Jesse even before you were with Young Jesse?" Cam asked.

Savannah knew 'everything' for a long time. The older she got, the more she wanted and needed someone. There was no one there for her. He was all alone. There were times when she touched herself often in a day because of her frustration.

"Yes." Savannah said. "I was very lonely. She wouldn't touch me back then. I tried. I was very happy when I met Young Jesse. I was already in love with 'her'. We were each other's first love. It was beautiful. I was with Jesse later on. I missed Young Jesse. They are the same person after all."

Savannah was very pleased to see everything was identical on them when she was finally with Jesse. Well, it was everything except the scar. She really thought it was something Jesse should get taken care of. It was more than just the cosmetic value it would afford her. She was sure it would give her a little better peace of mind.

Cam knew Cameron kept Young Jesse on the other side of the world. She could have brought her just as easily to California.

"Do you miss Young Jesse?" Cam asked.

The thought made Savannah feel a little sad.

"Yes." Savannah said. "I've only been able to see her a few times since then."

Cam understood why Savannah continued to pursue Jesse here.

"Is it why you were with Jesse later anyway?" Cam asked.

It was what Savannah wanted.

"Yes." Savannah said. "They are the same person, even if they're not the same person. It's like Allison and Young Allison, or Vanna and me."

Cam wondered about it. Jesse suffered a lot of abuse and dished out a lot of abuse.

"Jesse's background didn't bother you?" Cam asked.

Savannah was able to see the 'real Jesse' inside Jesse. She was aware of much of the darkness which once existed within Jesse.

"No." Savannah said. "The past is done and gone, even if it is still in the future, a future. Jesse isn't who she once was."

Cam didn't think any of them were. A lot of things happened.

"None of us are." Cam said. "Everyone continues to evolve and grow."

Savannah wasn't ashamed of any of her sexual partners.

"I've been with Sheila as well." Savannah said. "I can reach her too."

Cam noted Savannah was a good influence on everyone.

"I was aware of it." Cam said. "You've been a positive influence on her."

Savannah believed she offered something Sheila needed.

"Sheila needs a little help." Savannah said. "Being with Young Jesse and Jesse has allowed me to be able to reach Sheila better. I understand her."

Savannah started to kiss Cam.

Cam wanted to make tonight special for Savannah.

"Do you want me to call Cammy, or go find her so we can both be with you?" Cam asked. "We talked about it earlier."

Savannah didn't want anyone to feel obligated on her behalf.

"I do, but I don't want to disturb her if she is busy." Savannah said. "Maybe I need to check my phone…."

Savannah looked over at her phone and noticed it was off. It shouldn't be off. There could be an emergency she might need to respond to. She didn't normally turn it off. Maybe it was something Cam did when she put it out of the way. She wanted to check it and see if anything occurred.

Cammy was outside the door as she listened to the conversation in Savannah's room.

She didn't want Savannah to check her phone and get tied up with Young Allison or Cameron. It would definitely sour the mood. Dealing with Cameron always turned into a negative experience. Well, it did for her anyway.

She softly knocked and entered.

"I hope I'm not too late." Cammy said.

She saw Savannah was about to reach for her phone. She stopped when she spotted her.

"We've been waiting for you." Cam said.

Cammy wanted to offer an explanation without details.

"I needed to take care of a few things." Cammy said. "I'm done now."

Savannah felt a new rush of excitement. It wasn't often she was able to be with Cammy and Cam both at the same time.

"Will you join us?" Savannah asked. "I want to be with both of you."

Cammy quickly stripped off her clothes.

Cam stood naked next to Cammy.

Savannah took the view in. She was always fascinated with the way Cameron looked from the first time she saw her. She was able to get a good look at her where Sarah and John took her after they rescued her from her mother's house. She thought it might have been an old auto repair shop. She remembered how nice John was to her. It was a fascination which grew over time. Cam, Cammy, and Camille were all clones of Cameron. Two of them stood naked before her. Their appearance was identical, but she could tell which one was which.

"It just doesn't get any better than this." Savannah said.

Cammy thought she could make it better for Savannah. She knew what would stimulate Savannah visually as well as physically.

Cam and Cammy faced each other and kissed.

"Are you sure?" Cammy asked.

Savannah liked where things were going. She felt a rush of excitement flood her.

"You know what I like to see." Savannah said.

Cammy and Cam knew a lot more. It went a long way beyond the visual aspect.

"We know what you like too…." Cammy said.

Savannah wanted to watch Cam and Cammy share together with each other first before she joined in with them. It would drive her to a greater level of excitement when the three of them were together. They looked identical when they were together like they were. They did everything the same. It was really Hot to watch.

It was even Hotter to join in.

The need for Savannah to check her phone slipped further and further into the back of her mind.

John Henry watched Cammy on the surveillance system eavesdrop on Savannah's room for a short time before she entered her room. He noted she didn't close the door tight either. He saw her look back at the security camera and wink before she went into the room. He was aware she left the door open on purpose. She even seemed to indicate it was OK for him to stop by later on and take a look.

He needed to call Holly and relay the information on Precious back to her. He thought of calling Jim to ask him to take care of it. He decided to do it himself since he actually checked on Precious. Cammy's earlier admonition to him because he didn't actually check before he gave a positive report bothered him. He realized she was right. He should have checked first hand. He was going to deliver the message first hand now.

He was happy to speak with Holly. She was always very pleasant to talk to. He wanted to ask her about what Cameron planned but didn't. She didn't mention it, so he let it go.

Once the business was out of the way, he checked to see if Young Allison called Cameron yet. There was no indication she did. He thought Cammy would say something to Savannah about the issue and Savannah would call Young Allison. There was no indication it happened either. He wondered if Cammy wanted to keep Savannah out of it. He was certain if Savannah wasn't involved in some way, Cameron would do what she intended to do all along.

He would wait a few minutes and venture down to see what was happening in Savannah's room. Cammy made a point of not closing the door. He understood the invitation. It was very exhilarating to see and hear firsthand.

What did it hurt to look?

He thought about what Cammy made him do earlier by physically going to check on Precious. She gave him a plausible excuse to be away from the Command Center and pass by the girls' rooms. She set it up so he could check all of them out. He didn't necessarily need to return to the Command Center by the way he left either. He could always swing by Claire's room and see what was going on there. Things were looking up. He knew things wouldn't be the only thing up either. He wondered if he shouldn't go to his room and look for a bigger pair of pants first. He was sure he was going to need them.

Young Allison really wanted to talk to Savannah about what might happen on the ship.

She looked around. Anna was nowhere to be seen. She knew it wasn't an accident. Anna wanted her to make a decision on her own. She didn't want to influence her one way or the other. She was faced with a 'hard call' if it really wasn't even a 'hard call'. How is she going to hold up in combat conditions when it really was a 'hard call'?

She didn't want to delay any longer. It was time for action. The ball was in her court and this would be another test if it wasn't already.

Young Allison called Cameron.

She reached Jim who told her she could talk to Cameron through her com. The connection was made almost instantly.

"Hello, Allison." Cameron said.

"Hello, Cameron." Young Allison said.

Cameron was worried why Young Allison called her at this time.

"Is everything alright where you are?" Cameron asked.

Young Allison looked around. She wasn't quite sure why Cameron asked the question.

"Yes." Young Allison said.

Cameron hoped it was something good.

"Have you decided to come with your mother and Summer tomorrow?" Cameron asked. "It will be very exciting for you if you come. Everyone is having a great time here."

Young Allison was a little concerned Cameron might be attempting to throw her off track. She would need to keep it in mind as the conversation progressed.

Cameron hoped Young Allison was ready to 'step up'. She didn't see a problem with Young Allison actually taking her rightful place. It was what was going to happen anyway. She really couldn't see the point in waiting. What was the purpose? Why should it matter? She went back to her future. She saw firsthand how everything was. So did Claire.

Young Allison could tell Cameron wanted a little bit more from her. She wanted a little bit more from her for John. She also knew it'd be a little bit more for Cameron as well. She didn't think it was how things were supposed to play out. It was her desire to be with Savannah first. Anything which occurred after it would play out with Savannah at her side. She didn't want Cameron to get her hopes up. She wanted to give Cameron a reminder about what the original intent for the trip was.

"No." Young Allison said. "The Honeymoon Cruise is supposed to be about John and you."

It was disappointing for Cameron to hear. If it was the issue being stressed, then there needed to be some trouble. She didn't like trouble. She figured it was time to get to the point. She looked around her again to make sure there was no one within earshot of her. Gail was the closest one but she kept a respectful distance inside the superstructure of the ship.

"Why did you call?" Cameron said. "There must be a problem."

Young Allison wanted to use some tact. The 'problem' was of a personal nature. She felt she needed to choose her wording carefully to avoid further complicating the issue.

"It's why I'm calling." Young Allison said. "I understand you plan to use your program in an unconventional manner."

Cameron knew right away what she referred to. She didn't see anything wrong with it. As long as it was her program, it shouldn't make a difference what chassis it was in.

"Yes." Cameron said. "I plan to make John's vacation as memorable as possible. It will be a unique opportunity for both of us to explore new things. I want John to have the best honeymoon ever. I believe I know how to provide him with it. It's what I intend to do."

Young Allison wanted to know if everyone wanted the same thing. She wasn't sure everyone was on board. She didn't want to carry on a conversation with everyone involved. She would like to get a few more answers though.

"Is it what John wants?" Young Allison asked.

There was a pause. Cameron knew someone squealed. She knew no one on the ship could prevent her from doing what she wanted. Someone went behind her back to call in reinforcements for the Metal girls.

"I know why you're calling." Cameron said. "Who called you?"

Young Allison tried to stay in control of the conversation. She didn't want Cameron to change the subject or topic or try to bully her. Cameron taught her how to prevent others from doing it to her. She would simply use her training now on Cameron.

"You didn't answer my question." Young Allison said. "I'm the one who made the call, not you."

Cameron could tell Young Allison must have all of the information already. She didn't want to lie to her and she didn't want to get into an argument. She would simply try to use logic to present her case if it came down to it. She used a generic answer.

"It's what all males want." Cameron said.

Young Allison wanted to know what Cameron wanted. She didn't want Cameron to be evasive. She figured she better spell out exactly what she wanted from Cameron and make it clear from the start.

"Is it what you want?" Young Allison asked. "I want the truth."

Cameron felt a surge of excitement as she thought about it. It was what she wanted. It was what she wanted for years. She wanted to be someone different. She wanted to give John what she didn't think she was to do before. She wanted Young Allison to know the truth.

"Yes. It is what I want." Cameron said. "It will be exciting for both of us."

Young Allison wondered if she should ask John herself. She was sure if she did, it would probably influence his decision. She didn't really want to do it, but she thought maybe she should. If Savannah and her were supposed to play a part in all of their lives, when was she supposed to start doing the very thing?

"Can I speak to John about this?" Young Allison asked.

Cameron knew it would be a game changer. John would be influenced by Young Allison. He wouldn't want to 'offend' her. She was his future mate after all. She didn't want Young Allison to go so far.

"I'd prefer it if you didn't." Cameron said. "I'm handling this."

Young Allison wanted better answers. She wanted to make Cameron think about everything if nothing else. She hoped by pointing out some of the variables it would cause Cameron to reconsider. She really didn't want to become directly involved if she could avoid it. She wanted Cameron to really think things through first.

"Can I speak to any of the girls about this?" Young Allison asked.

Cameron didn't know what Young Allison was doing. Young Allison didn't need to go through her to contact anyone. She could do it on her own and CamNet would ensure it happened.

"What are you getting at?" Cameron asked. "You can call any of them without my permission."

Young Allison didn't want to give up her source, but she did want Cameron to know the Metal girls weren't the ones who contacted her.

"I can." Young Allison said. "I haven't, and they haven't called me."

Cameron wanted to know what Young Allison was going to tell her to do or not to do. It was clear at this point Young Allison understood everything about to happen, and how it was going to happen. She was aware Young Allison could 'order' her to do or not do something. She hoped to keep things focused on John instead of her. She didn't know if it would make a difference or not.

"Is there a problem with what I have planned for John?" Cameron asked. "Don't you want him to enjoy himself? It will be the best honeymoon ever for someone."

Young Allison knew everything needed moderation. Savannah always told her the things needed to be kept in balance or at some point everything would fall apart.

"Everyone affected by your decision matters too." Young Allison said. "There are limits to enjoyment and how it's achieved."

Cameron played by her own playbook. She believed it was all a matter of perception. She normally didn't let rules or restrictions hold her back on anything. If she needed to write a new rule book, she was more than willing. Sometimes the rules needed to be changed.

"The limits exist only in our minds." Cameron said.

It went deeper than just thought for Young Allison.

"They exist within our hearts and souls too." Young Allison said.

Cameron tried to dodge the issue. She knew no matter how advanced she became with her emotions and feelings, a fundamental fact didn't change. At the end of the day she was still a machine. She wasn't a human and didn't share the same comparisons.

"I don't have those last two." Cameron said.

Young Allison held firm. For her entire known life she watched Cameron grow and expand. Savannah told her Cameron was more like a 'mechanical human' at this point in time. It meant Cameron was greater than just being a machine. She wanted to remind Cameron of her progress.

"Don't you?" Young Allison asked. "I think you do. I've seen them."

Cameron was irritated. She wanted an answer right now. She didn't think anyone would interfere in her personal affairs. Savannah or Young Allison could do it. It was time to cut to the chase. She didn't want to dance around the issue.

"Did you call me to give me an 'order'?" Cameron asked.

Young Allison didn't feel she would have to.

"No." Young Allison said. "I don't need to."

Cameron wanted to hear it spelled out.

"What do you want me to do?" Cameron asked. "I want you to tell me."

Young Allison spelled it out.

"I want you to do what you know is the right thing in your heart and mind." Young Allison said. "If there was a functioning 'neural implant', would you use my body like you would use the Metal girls' chassis? Would it be any different at that point? Would you do it to me? Would you return my body back to me used, stripped of its virginity?"

Cameron would never allow Young Allison to be used in such a manner.

"You know I wouldn't do it to you or with your body." Cameron said.

Young Allison would feel very cheated if someone else were to take control of her body and stripped her virginity from her. She would feel very used if they did. She doubted she would be able to feel good about herself for a long time. It would probably hinder her own sexual development as well because she would always think about it.

"I wouldn't like it if you did." Young Allison said. "You'd take something from me, even if it was your program in my body. When I got my body back, it would still be used even if I didn't personally have my own first experience."

Cameron didn't want Young Allison to miss the point about what it was all about. Sure she was a part of it, but it wasn't about her.

"I want John to have a good time." Cameron said.

Young Allison wanted to remind Cameron what the whole purpose of the trip was about.

"He will - with YOU." Young Allison said. "This trip is about YOU and John."

Cameron felt disappointed and deflated.

"Have you discussed this with Savannah?" Cameron asked.

Young Allison tried to get a hold of Savannah multiple times. She was obviously 'busy'. If she wouldn't have known exactly where Savannah was at, it would have troubled her greatly. Because she knew where Savannah was, she knew what she was doing. She didn't have a problem with it. It was what all the girls did. It was what she was going to do as well.

"No." Young Allison said. "I don't believe she's aware of what you've planned. I don't know what her response is going to be."

Cameron figured there was probably an additional problem coming when Savannah did find out about it. She was pretty sure she could expect a call later on from Savannah. So far Young Allison hadn't told her what to do or what not to do. Young Allison hadn't given her an 'order' to stand down. All she did is make her personal position clear to her.

"I know you don't agree." Cameron said. "It's what I want for John and myself."

Young Allison felt it was a decision Cameron needed to make on her own.

"I won't stop you." Young Allison said. "All I've done is made my personal position clear. I haven't talked to anyone else about it. You've asked for my input on humanity and empathy before."

Cameron knew it to be true. She did ask Young Allison to remind her of those human traits.

"I have." Cameron said.

Young Allison wanted Cameron to think about other versions of herself.

"What do you think Future Allison or Allison would tell you?" Young Allison asked.

Cameron would expect a stronger opinion from them.

"They would say things to me you haven't." Cameron said.

Young Allison wanted to remind her she wasn't the only one.

"What about Savannah?" Young Allison asked. "She's going to know about this soon enough. I might not want to hear what she has to say to me either. Maybe I will. I don't know."

Cameron frowned. She was sure Savannah would be a little more forceful than Young Allison was.

"It's most likely." Cameron said. "Who called you?"

Young Allison didn't want to be specific.

"None of the girls did." Young Allison said. "They're currently isn't an operation going on. I have some free time. I like to know what's happening around me. You know I'm monitoring what's happening on the ship."

Cameron put the blame on CamNet.

"CamNet must be responsible for this then." Cameron said.

Young Allison spoke the truth.

"CamNet has said nothing to me about any of this." Young Allison said. "I haven't asked anyone for their opinion or suggestions. I haven't discussed anything with Anna either. I'm the one talking to you."

Cameron wanted to be 'someone different' and provide John with something special.

"I still want to do this." Cameron said. "It's what I want to do."

Young Allison spelled it out.

"Unless you are willing to do the same thing with ME, you shouldn't do it to anyone else." Young Allison said. "You know it already."

Cameron felt the 'pressure' from Young Allison.

"You're going to MAKE me decide." Cameron said.

Young Allison at least wanted Cameron to rethink it.

"I've only called you." Young Allison said. "I personally think it's wrong. It's more than just 'programs' at this point in time for all of you. You know it too."

Cameron felt a little frustrated.

"So why are you really calling me, if you're not going to stop me?" Cameron asked.

"I'm calling to remind you who you are now and why I love you." Young Allison said. "The person I love wouldn't do this to anyone, especially another female. I'm a female. You're a female. It doesn't matter if you were constructed or born. You're a 'female machine' with 'female programming'. Inside of you is programming from me, from Future Allison. I'm part of you."

Cameron felt guilty.

"Now you are trying to make me feel bad." Cameron said.

Young Allison knew they were Cameron's own feelings. They weren't any she created for her.

"It's your 'morality' making you feel the way you do." Young Allison said.

Cameron tried to remind herself she was a machine.

"I have no morals." Cameron said.

Young Allison stayed with it. Cameron and her 'danced' around each other.

"I do and they're in you." Young Allison said. "Would you have wanted it done to your chassis before you were married to John?"

Cameron was sure it already happened, even if there was no proof of it.

"No." Cameron said. "It may have happened though. I believe it did. I really don't know."

Young Allison wanted to make it a little more specific.

"How would you like it if you knew it happened?" Young Allison asked.

Cameron didn't like all the feelings going through her mind right now. She felt very conflicted.

"I don't know." Cameron said.

Young Allison felt she'd given her input. The rest was up to Cameron.

"I think you do." Young Allison said. "I'm going to go to bed now. Have a good night."

Cameron was through 'dancing'. She wanted a definitive answer. She wanted to make sure she was on the same page as Young Allison. She didn't want to do something if she was 'ordered' not to.

"Are you ordering me not to do as I've planned?" Cameron asked.

Young Allison wanted Cameron to think things through a little further.

"No." Young Allison said. "I don't need to. You're free to choose. Everyone should have the same choice. If it's something everyone agrees to, it makes a difference. If they make the choice on their own, I don't have a problem with it. Freedom is choice. Choice is freedom. Good night."

Cameron really didn't know what to think right now.

"Good night." Cameron said.

The connection ended.

"Anna." Young Allison called.

Anna's answer sounded far away.

"I'm coming." Anna said in the distance.

Young Allison knew how things worked.

"I know you heard everything." Young Allison said.

Anna was aware she did. She didn't want to lie. She wanted Young Allison to know what her justification was. She felt it was important.

"I did." Anna said. "I didn't want to become involved and I didn't want to influence you."

Young Allison could tell she didn't change Cameron's mind and Cameron was going to do what she wanted to do all along. She just hoped Cameron put a little more thought into it. She believed Cameron would involve the others a little more than she probably would have before her call. Would Cameron actually ask anyone? She didn't know. She felt a little frustrated as she looked at Anna.

"Cameron isn't going to listen to me is she?" Young Allison asked.

Anna doubted it. 'Cameron' was her base program too.

"No." Anna said. "Not at first."

Young Allison wondered about it.

"I'm not sure what that means." Young Allison said.

Anna felt because Young Allison called Cameron without Savannah even being aware of what was happening, it would start to trouble Cameron.

"The fact you called her on your own over this subject will weigh on her the more she thinks about it." Anna said. "Remember, Cameron is my base program."

Young Allison wondered if she did the right thing or even if she even did enough.

"What does the 'Savannah' in you say?" Young Allison asked.

It was an easy answer for Anna.

"It indicates you did what you were supposed to do." Anna said. "You're not Cameron's keeper. It's most likely Cameron will give them a choice at this point. I think it should mean something to everyone involved. I think it will matter to everyone going forward if she does. I think you did the right thing."

Young Allison figured it was better than nothing.

"Everyone should be free to choose." Young Allison said.

Anna was aware Young Allison chose to give up her right to choose later on, even if she wanted to. Only Savannah, Cameron, or John could ever touch her first. It was Young Allison's irrevocable order. She was to physically enforce the order. It was exactly what she planned to do. It didn't matter how much she loved Young Allison and wanted to be with her herself. She needed to follow Young Allison to order and respect her wishes.

She knew Young Allison could have given Cameron in 'order'. The fact she didn't actually said a lot. It indicated a high level of trust between them. It also would make Cameron think things through a little further than she may have done earlier. She really hoped the Metal girls were all given a choice first.

Closing monologue by Cameron:

I Am Part Of You

When one reaches out
What do they really want
Is it something for real
Or a convoluted stunt

When they do latch on
What do they actually grasp
If one doesn't like the hold
Can they break their clasp

Does one ever have
Any real control
Are they there to console
Or are they there to cajole

How far is one willing to go
To share it all with another
Will they rise up together
Or one slowly smother

When the sharing is complete
And we're stuck like glue
I want you to remember
I am part of you

Nobody
