Chapter 1330
You Got Me
Savannah, Young Allison, and the others were at the electric go kart track. They were in the process of a few practice laps. Savannah asked for fairness and clean driving from everyone. No one was sure how it would actually play out once the things started.
They all did three laps to get the feel of the cars. They were all pretty confident with what the car could do.
There was a time board. It showed Young Allison was the fastest on each of the three laps.
Anna was second and Cammy was third. She was only a few thousands of a second slower than Anna.
The male Terminator times were all within a fraction of a second apart.
It showed Savannah was the slowest.
Even with a slower time, she was only two seconds slower than Young Allison. She knew right away what the difference was with the identical cars. Young Allison was lighter than her. In fact, Young Allison was the lightest of them all. They were both lighter than all of the Terminators.
Anna knew her ability should be the same as Cammy's ability since they both ran Cameron's program. She attributed her slightly faster speed to having the appearance of a younger teenager. There was simply less sheath material in certain areas. It could be because she possessed the 'Neural Interface' with Savannah as well. It obviously affected her programming in multiple ways. It made her different from Cameron and Cammy. She actually believed it made her superior. Her close association with Young Allison probably added to some more differences as well.
The cars were lined up on the track in two columns for the first race. It was decided to line the cars up with the slowest at the pole position and the fastest at the rear. It would make the drivers need to 'work' for their position changes. It was opposite the normal way race cars lined up. Normally the fastest car got the pole position so the slower cars wouldn't be in its way. It was the reward for qualifying hard. If the slowest car always got the pole, everyone would 'dog it' to get the slowest time.
The green flag waved and the cars took off. Savannah held her position through the first corner. Cammy and Anna were able to get around Randy and Brian in the first turn.
The cars were neck in neck. They were still in two loose columns.
Young Allison tried to make it three wide as they approached the second turn. She was able to get past Brian and Randy by getting on the inside of them for the second turn. Cammy and Anna were able to get around Mel before the second turn. The race looked like it could turn into a 'donnybrook' at any moment. So far all of the driving was clean. They hadn't even completed the first slap yet. Would it stay the same way?
Cameron led the new arrival into the bedroom. She removed her own clothing as she walked. She was naked by the time she was near the closet.
"Open your robe." Cameron said.
She did. She was naked underneath the robe.
"Excellent." Cameron said. "Tie it loosely at your waist. Leave some cleavage, but not too much. Make it enticing."
Cameron deposited her clothes on the dresser and took out a robe from her closet. She put it on. She adjusted it the same way as the newcomer. She was satisfied they looked identical.
She could hear John finish up in the bathroom.
"Is there anyone here?" John asked. "I'm naked."
Cameron was going to say 'no' but changed her mind. She didn't want to embarrass him or make him feel self conscious. She didn't want to inadvertently affect 'Little Willie's' performance. The blue pill should be a counteraction to it. The physical response should be able to outweigh the mental response. She knew if certain stimuli were applied, the physical response would take over and leave the mental response, or lack of it, behind.
"Yes." Cameron said. "A towel or robe will be good enough. You won't need to wear it for very long."
John quickly understood what it meant. It sounded like it was time for some action. He anticipated some. He wasn't sure who it was going to be. He really didn't care. When it came down to it, it really didn't matter either. One chassis was as good as the next. They all got the job done. He figured he wanted to look good, even if he wore just a robe.
Cameron noted John took a little longer than usual to arrive. She figured he probably combed his hair when he put a robe on. She was right. She saw him approach.
"There you are." John said. "I thought…."
John stopped in mid-sentence.
He saw Cameron standing there. There were two of her. He couldn't tell them apart. They both looked identical and were dressed the same.
They looked at each other and undid the belt on their robes. They let the robes open up. Everything was identical. The expression on their faces was the same.
John knew Cameron was messing with him. He figured he might as well just go ahead and say it right now before it became a bigger issue later on. He couldn't tell them apart. He didn't know which one was actually Cameron. He was sure they would put him through some type of test he would fail. There was no need to embarrass himself anymore and he would need to.
"OK." John said. "You got me. I don't know who is who. I can't tell you two apart right now."
They began to talk and finish each other's sentences. It actually sounded like a sentence of one person speaking. If he closed his eyes, he wouldn't know there were two individuals there speaking.
"Hi."
"John."
"One of us…."
"Is a virgin…."
"The other…."
"Is not…."
John looked to see if they were plugged into each other yet, they weren't. Somehow it made it even more disturbing. If they were tethered it would make sense.
He wasn't sure how to address the issue.
"You're both beautiful." John said.
"Your wife…."
"Should be more…."
"Beautiful…."
"Than her…."
"Counterpart…."
John was in a no win situation. It wasn't really fair to him. They were cyborgs and one was a clone of the other.
"Please…."
"Take off…."
"Our robes…."
"You may choose…."
"Either one…."
"Of us…."
John looked around for the tether. He spotted it by the pile of clothes on the dresser. He carefully removed the robe from both of them. They both slowly rotated around in a circle in opposite directions. It was very exciting to him. There were two of 'Cameron' standing before him.
He tossed the two robes on the dresser and picked up the tether.
John held out his hand with the tether. There was no apparent difference between the two Terminators in front of him. Neither one of them gave him a clue as to who they were. He really didn't want it to become an issue. He didn't have the same cyborg abilities they did.
"I must shamefully admit I can't tell you two apart." John said. "You both look identical to me."
"We are…."
"Identical..."
"Except for one…."
"Small difference…."
"One of us…."
"Is a virgin…."
"The other…."
"Is not…."
They both turned their backs to him and moved their hair off to the side in opposite directions.
"Plug us in…."
"You may have…."
"Experience…."
"Or you may have…."
"Innocence…."
John plugged both of them in. They were connected now.
They turned and faced him.
He saw both of their eyes were closed.
The one on the right opened her eyes.
"Kiss me."
John moved up and kissed her.
Her eyes closed.
The eyes on the one on the left opened.
"Kiss me."
John moved up and kissed her.
The kiss felt identical to John.
"Touch me."
She lifted his hands to her breasts.
John touched her.
"Kiss them."
John kissed them.
Her eyes closed.
The eyes on the other one opened.
"Touch me."
She lifted his hands to her breasts.
John touched her.
"Kiss them."
John kissed them.
Her eyes closed.
John could see the front of his robe was extended some now.
Everything was identical on both of them and felt the same.
The first one he kissed opened her eyes. She smiled at him and lay on the bed. She moved over to where Cameron normally lay for the 'process'. She pulled the sheet up to cover herself and placed the pillow over her head. It seemed to be something she was experienced with.
The one that was still standing opened her eyes.
She carefully removed John's robe.
They kissed.
"I love you, John." Cam-Cameron said.
"I love you, Cameron." John said.
They both looked at the bed.
"Make me a woman, John." Cam-Cameron said.
John went to pick her up.
"I'm heavier than I look." Cam-Cameron said.
John smiled.
"I don't have far to go." John said.
John picked her up anyway and laid her on the bed. She was standing right next to it. He really didn't even need to take a step, but it gave him better balance to do so.
He lay next to her. He glanced once at where Cameron was. She was still covered. He really didn't want any last minute games to occur.
They started to kiss slowly and John touched her all over. He did all the things he knew Cameron liked. He could see how excited she looked now. He spent a little more time everywhere and put extra effort into it. He wanted to make a good 'first' impression.
John moved over the top of her.
It was time….
"Go slow." Cam-Cameron whispered in his ear. "I've never done this before."
John smiled. So far everything seemed just like Cameron on their wedding night. Somehow it really did seem like Cameron on her wedding night too.
He loved Cameron so much.
Earlier:
Jim showed Allison and Vanna the Master Suite.
He noticed Cam spoke quietly with Vanna. They held each other and kissed. Vanna held Cam's hand as she walked away. There was a slight pause before their hands separated.
It seemed to be a symbolic act of unwanted separation on Vanna's part. It was still allowed to happen. Everyone was free to make their own choice, even if the other didn't agree with it.
Allison watched them and knew what it was about. Cam was about to let Cameron strip away her virginity with John. She wondered for a few seconds if Vanna would volunteer to go in her place. She didn't think it was the way Vanna should be with John. If it was the case, it would seem 'forced' somehow. She wouldn't allow it to happen. She would step up instead. It was her turn to protect her long term lover.
Jim continued his review of the suite. The girls seemed very impressed. He noted Cam started to quickly strip by the bathroom as they entered the spare bedroom. It was actually a normal suite attached to the Master Suite. It was the same room as the Control Center. It was right next to it.
Allison was impressed with the view out of the balcony of both parts of the Master Suite.
"It's quite a view." Allison said.
Vanna touched her arm and nodded with her head when Allison looked at her. Allison turned to follow her gaze.
There was a maid dusting in the corner. They were both a little surprised there was a 'stranger' in their room. Her back was to them. She bent down to do something. In an instant, everything was visible and was very noticeable.
"That's quite a view too." Vanna said.
Sheila looked back at them and smiled. She held the pose for a few more seconds and then stood and faced them.
"This is my uniform." Sheila said. "I'm your maid for the rest of the voyage."
They all greeted each other.
Allison really looked over Sheila's outfit. She was impressed.
"You look totally Hot in your uniform." Allison said.
It wasn't the uniform she expected to see Sheila in. She thought it was going to be a fancy white uniform like Bob wore. She didn't think any of the white uniforms could be made to look so Hot.
Vanna loved the look. She liked to take things a little further.
"I'll say." Vanna said. "When you have some free time, pay us a visit in your outfit."
Sheila smiled.
"What happens if I do?" Sheila asked.
Allison looked at Holly. She figured Cam would be 'done' by then. She knew it didn't take long.
"We can have a five way." Allison said.
Holly smiled at Allison and at Sheila.
Sheila looked at Jim. She let her gaze work its way down his sheath to his pants. She paused when it reached below his belt.
"I'll take it from here big fella." Sheila said.
Jim quickly glanced down at himself. It seemed like the best thing for him to do was retreat for now before anyone got more descriptive. He passed through the connecting door into the Control Center. It was attached to spare bedroom of the Owner's Suite.
Vanna spotted the computer gear in there. She wondered if it was all necessary on the ship. It didn't seem like it should be. There wasn't much anyone to do when the ship wasn't in a port. It seemed like something no one needed to worry about for the duration of the cruise. It looked like the Command Center at the base.
"What's all the stuff for?" Vanna asked. "I don't think most of it is actually necessary where we are."
Hanna and Gail were with them still. Ally showed up from somewhere as well.
"It's the ship-borne Control Center." Ally said. "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree."
Allison and Vanna started over towards the equipment.
"Can we see it?" Vanna asked.
Ally didn't want to get in trouble by spoiling the girl's vacation with 'work'.
"You don't need to worry about it." Ally said. "You're on vacation."
Vanna still wanted to see the set up.
"I want to see it anyway. It's just out of curiosity." Vanna said. "The only 'work' I plan to do is in bed."
Allison smiled at Vanna.
"Now you're talking." Allison said.
Ally led them into the room.
Jim was already plugged in.
"It's just a small setup." Jim said.
Allison looked over the array of monitors.
"Wow! It's a lot of gear." Allison said. "You can view a lot of things."
Jim looked back.
"I see everything." Jim said.
Vanna eyed the door to the Owner's Suite.
"Where does that door go?" Vanna asked.
There was a long moment of silence. It didn't appear anyone was going to answer.
Vanna and Allison looked at the Terminators present.
Jim decided to answer the question since no one else did.
"It goes into the Owner's Suite." Jim said.
Vanna looked away. She knew it was where Cam was at right now.
"Oh." Vanna said.
Vanna quickly walked out of the Control Center and back into the spare bedroom of the Master Suite. Allison and Holly followed her.
Sheila, Hanna, Ally, and Gail hesitated. They could see Vanna was a little steamed.
Jim looked a little nervous. He understood now why no one else answered her question earlier. They were all sure of the reaction it was going to produce.
Hanna didn't want him to worry about it.
"She may need some space." Hanna said. "It's complicated."
Sheila didn't think so. It was just the way things worked.
"We need to get her mind on other things." Sheila said.
Hanna wanted to keep it simple.
"Maybe you and Gail can show them around the ship." Hanna said. "Ally and I can hang out here or go elsewhere on the ship where they aren't."
Ally wanted Jim to have a choice.
"Jim can always go too." Ally said. "I can stay."
Jim looked over at them. He really didn't want to interact with the other passengers.
"I'm good here for now." Jim said.
Sheila turned her head slightly.
"Cam is in there." Sheila said.
Ally was ready for her turn. She understood the need for the chip swap and why Cam was in there now. She hoped to go later on herself unless Cam didn't like it. She was going to ask her. She didn't think Sheila should listen.
"Give her some privacy." Ally said. "I think everyone deserves it, especially when it's their 'first time'."
Sheila wanted to be around when Cam was 'done' before the chip swap. She wanted to do what Jesse did for her and the other girls. She saw how excited it made Jesse. It also took away any anxiety any of the cyborgs might experience after the encounter. Jesse showed them there was nothing to worry about, or be self conscious about. She showed them everything was the same as usual. Well, almost the same.
"I'm going to stay here for now." Sheila said.
Gail looked at the others. She hoped Vanna and Allison would want to do some fun things. She wanted to have fun. Savannah told her she needed to do more fun things. Maybe she would tell them she wanted to do fun things. They might know some.
"I'll go with them." Gail said.
Gail still wanted to do the chip swap with Cam. She also wanted Cameron to do it with John again in her borrowed chassis to see what was different, if anything. She was a Restorator created by Mrs. Weaver. Cam was a Terminator created by Skynet. She wanted to see what the real difference was between the two different 'neural networks'. She should be able to compare the performances side to side or back to back. Right now she wanted to have fun.
"I'll be back." Gail said as she hurried off after Holly, Allison, and Vanna.
Young Allison was a terror on the track. She already passed Brian and Randy and was ready to make a move on Mel. She tried it on the third turn but couldn't make it. She let the fourth turn slide with a fake move and positioned herself for the next turn instead. She was able to slide around him. It left three.
Savannah was able to hold her own but barely. Cammy was all over her. It looked like Anna was all over Cammy. It was the only thing keeping Cammy from passing Savannah. Cammy needed to protect her position too. Other than what was happening right in back of her, she lost track of everyone else.
Young Allison was able to close up some on Anna. Anna was trying to get around Cammy and they were slowing each other up. There was a sharp turn coming up. She stayed on the accelerator and spun the go kart sideways. She literally slid in front of both Anna and Cammy. They were both startled by her sudden appearance. It was a move Cameron previously showed her.
It only left Savannah in front of her. They were only on the third lap. She closed up on Savannah. There was movement she caught in the corner of her eye. It was Anna. She got around Cammy when they recovered from her earlier sliding move in front of them. She was only slightly faster than Anna in qualifying. Anna was a Terminator. She tried hard to prove it. It was going to make getting around Savannah harder.
Savannah glanced back and somehow Young Allison was there. It was Cammy just a few seconds ago. How did she get there so fast? It was only the third lap. Savannah realized her advantage was being the lead car and not needing to pass anyone. If a car got around her, it was all over. She didn't think she could pass a Terminator. She needed to remember Young Allison was somehow able to pass five of them.
Young Allison saw Anna was setting her up for two corners ahead. She made sure she moved over some to hinder her approach. She knew it wasn't clean driving, but it wasn't an outright block. It was more defensive driving. It looked like Anna was going to take her on the next corner. Cammy made her move on Anna. Cammy was able to pass Anna. It took some of the pressure off of her for now. It allowed her to close back in on Savannah. She knew Cammy would attempt to make her move on her soon.
Savannah could see Cammy and Anna slowed each other down. They were on the last lap now. She came into the last turn. Young Allison moved up inside her for the final turn. It's where Young Allison had her. She would take the lead and win. Instead of passing her, Young Allison looked at her and winked. She backed off a tad and Savannah was able to hold the lead. Young Allison showed her she could have passed her but didn't. It made Savannah feel good. Young Allison didn't show selfishness, but compassion.
It wouldn't cut it on the battlefield. This wasn't a battlefield. It was supposed to be a fun source of entertainment and sharing. When the competition turned too aggressive in a friendly game, it was no longer fun. The two sides battle it out as if it were actual combat.
Savannah moved over on the final straightaway to give her room to pass so Young Allison could take her rightful victory. Young Allison moved up next to her and held there. Cammy and Anna tried to make it four wide and pass both of them on the outside. The checkered flag came down.
Young Allison and Savannah crossed the finish line at the same time. Anna was right next to Young Allison and Cammy was right next to Savannah. The significance of the finish wasn't lost on any of them.
It wasn't lost on CamNet either. She cared about Savannah and Young Allison deeply. It was clear they cared for Cammy and Anna just as much. They all showed love for each other.
There was a lesson to be learned there how the girls felt about each other. It was actually something of beauty. It proved sacrifice was the true test of love. They all wanted to show they loved each other by none of them taking a victory over the others. They all finished as equals. It didn't matter if they were humans or cyborgs.
John could tell Cam-Cameron was almost there again. He stayed with it until he felt her respond as she made it. He finished at the same time. He was tired. He really tried to do his best.
Cam-Cameron arms held him tightly. He sweated some from the exertion. She kissed him slow and deep.
"It was wonderful, John." Cam-Cameron said.
She still held him firm.
He usually would 'falter' up at this point but the medicine kept him ready.
Cam-Cameron slowly released him.
John rolled over on his back.
Cameron snuggled up next to him. Her eyes were wide with joy and happiness. She kissed him again. She was very happy John got her there three times on her 'first time'.
Cam-Cameron reverted back to her programming once her 'first time' was over. She knew John needed a few minutes of refractory time to recharge.
They kissed and fondled each other.
John never could seem to get enough.
Cam-Cameron looked down at John. He was still good to go. She kissed him again and moved over on top of him. She reached back and slid down. John let out a sigh of pleasure as did Cam-Cameron.
She bent down and kissed him as she started out slow. She lifted her torso some so John could watch her as she moved and he fondled her. She knew what he liked. She would stay like it until he was about to finish and then bend down and hold him in a deep kiss as he did. She was able to 'make it' twice more before he did. It was beautiful.
Holly and Gail took Allison and Vanna out to look around the ship. They all saw Vanna look at the Owner's Suite as they passed earlier. Allison took her hand.
Gail and Holly both briefly listened as they passed. It was clear Cam's chassis was no longer a virgin chassis. They both wished they were in there instead. It didn't seem like it would be a good thing to mention right now, especially in front of Vanna.
They exited the private area and headed down the hall.
Holly stopped at the stairwell. She could see Vanna looked distressed.
"It's something beautiful for her." Holly said. "I want you to know it."
Vanna nodded a little uneasily.
"It is, Vanna." Gail said. "Please don't worry about it. After we look around the ship some, we can do the chip swap. I want you and Cam to have a good time together and not worry about anything."
Allison was unsure what to say. She knew Vanna was troubled.
Vanna didn't want to create a problem in front of the others. Exactly what she felt like she was doing right now. It was nothing she should worry about personally. She still needed to deal with her feelings.
"I'm fine." Vanna said. "It happens all the time. It's no big deal."
Vanna knew Cam was not a human female. There was no one, or a group, holding her down. There wouldn't be anyone laughing, calling her names, or making obscene comments. Cam wouldn't be screaming with pain. It wouldn't go on all night and into the next day. More men wouldn't arrive….
"Vanna…."
"Vanna…."
Vanna blinked her eyes.
"What?" Vanna asked.
Allison was a little troubled at how deeply worried Vanna looked. She wanted to offer her some positive words of encouragement. The circumstances were totally different as were the individuals involved. Cam didn't face what Vanna faced on multiple occasions.
"Vanna, it's OK." Allison said. "Cameron and John aren't going to hurt her. You know John would have never hurt us either. You know it. Think about what Gail and Holly said. They said it was something beautiful and they would like to return for more, the same way. I was very concerned about Holly as well. She reassured me it was about the best thing which has ever happened to her, if not the best thing. It seems to be the consensus of all of the Metal girls. I think it's something to consider and listen to them about."
Vanna looked at Allison. It was true. John was always kind and loving to them and he never 'used' them when he could have either. She remembered how much she wanted to be with John before and asked Allison if she could go first. She wanted John's love then as much as Allison did. It was a time when they thought Cameron was terminated. They both promised Cameron they would 'look after' John and 'take care of him'. Things almost happened. They didn't.
At the time she actually believed John was even more apprehensive and nervous than either Allison or her were. It was something they all wanted to do, but they were all afraid to make the first move, or take the first step.
Vanna smiled.
"You're right." Vanna said. "We're one big family and no one hurts anyone else. We all share and love each other."
Allison kissed Vanna on the cheek.
Vanna hugged Allison and whispered in her ear.
Gail and Holly looked at each other.
Allison backed up a little to look at Vanna. She then whispered back in Vanna's ear and gave her a kiss.
The Metal girls wondered what would happen next.
Allison and Vanna were both smiling now.
Vanna didn't want to be a negative influence on the rest of them.
"Show us around." Vanna said.
Holly and Gail heard what they both said. Holly was a little worried now.
"Do you want to start at the front or the back?" Gail asked.
Vanna looked at the three of them. There was a momentary glassy eyed look to her for a few seconds.
"The front of course…." Vanna said. "It's where they always start. They get to the back soon enough."
Allison decided she was going to have to keep an eye on Vanna. She knew exactly what she referred to. It wasn't the ship either. She knew her past experiences seemed to creep up on her little more than they should have. She knew different things affected different people in different ways at different times. Vanna was still her true love and she didn't like to see her bothered. She really hoped she could redirect her mind to something more positive.
Savannah called a break after the first race. She felt she was given an unfair advantage by the reverse start lineup. Young Allison cut her some slack. No, not some slack. It was a lot of slack. Young Allison didn't take the win which was rightfully hers.
She could see Randy, Brian, and Mel were all competitive with each other as were Cammy and Anna.
Savannah laid down some new rules for the second race. They would start in qualifying order. It would put Young Allison first and her last. She also stressed clean driving. She didn't want there to be any animosity when they didn't need to be. It seemed everyone bent over backwards in the first race to make sure there wouldn't be any. It appeared as if everyone wanted to help everyone else instead. She didn't think it was a bad thing.
"This is supposed to be fun for everyone." Savannah said. "I don't want it to seem like combat. I don't want to see anyone roll over either. In a competition there will always be winners and losers. It's just the way it works. It's just a game. It's not combat."
Young Allison backed Savannah's play. She was aware she exhibited some aggressive driving. It was what Cameron taught her. She didn't drive 'dirty', but she did drive rough. She didn't try to make anyone crash, or put them in the wall. What they were doing there should just be for fun and to have a good time.
"Please, I want it too." Young Allison said. "Let's just have a good time and have some fun with each other."
The next race they all remained in the same order they qualified with no one passing anyone. They were just driving the track and no one held an advantage.
For the third race they split into pairs.
Young Allison and Anna would race followed by Cammy and Savannah ten seconds later. The three male Terminators would be ten seconds after them. They seemed to have the most fun this way.
It was a race against the clock, as much as it was a race against each other. It was the individuals they all spent the most amount of time with. It just seemed to be an extension of some of the things they normally did.
Cam-Cameron rested on top of John. She ended the deep kiss and lay on her back next to him. She looked at him and smiled.
John saw her expression fade and her eyes closed.
There was movement on the other side of John.
Cameron moved the pillow off her face and sat up. She unplugged the tether from her neck.
She leaned over and kissed John.
"It was really something." Cameron said.
Cameron was pleased she got the benefit without the mess. There was no apparent difference in Cam's chassis over hers. There was some with the others. It must be due to the different sheath makeup since they were all different. Gail and Holly were created as Restorators and possessed a superior 'neural network'. She thought there was the most overall feeling with Sheila. It may have been because Sheila was first and it was her perception.
She wanted to be someone 'different'. She wanted to get away from it all so many times. When she was plugged into Sheila's chassis with John, she felt she achieved all of those things. She reviewed the file multiple times and was sure Sheila's chassis was superior. She felt they were all superior to her chassis except Cam. It appeared to be equal.
Cam opened her eyes and sat up. She thanked John and Cameron for the experience. She was very pleased with what was done and how it was done. She didn't think she would have been able to 'feel' what Cameron did. It was clear Cameron's emotions and feelings were much superior to hers. She found it a little troubling since she was a clone of Cameron. She would have hoped to be identical. It appeared Cameron progressed even more since she was cloned.
The three of them stood.
Cam looked at Cameron because she wanted to give John a hug. Cameron nodded.
Cam hugged John tight. They were all still naked. She wanted to make sure the agreement was fulfilled further at some other point in time.
"You still owe me one." Cam whispered in his ear. "I want it too, especially after this. I really want my 'first time'."
John swallowed hard and nodded. He knew what the agreement was. He didn't know when Cameron would honor it. He didn't even know if she would honor it. He certainly hoped she would. He looked forward to being with each of the Metal girls when it actually was their 'first time'. Well, the first time for their program anyway. He thought he would really enjoy being with each of them individually as opposed to Cameron reliving her first experience over and over and over. He was sure things would be different. He didn't really know how, but he knew they would be.
There would still be a thrill to share with someone new, even if the chassis wasn't new. It was the way most relationships occurred anyway. Individuals usually shared quite a few different partners over time. It wasn't the issue. It was to share with someone new which was the issue and the desire.
Cam hugged Cameron.
Cameron liked the feel of Cam's naked body in her arms. She realized it was what she must feel like to John. She found it very pleasing.
Cam was thrilled with the entire experience. She was ready to have Cameron do it again. She didn't think it was going to be the case. There were other obligations she needed to fulfill in regards to Vanna. She still wanted to make her desires known.
"You can use my chassis anytime." Cam whispered to Cameron.
Cameron walked Cam to the door after Cam put her robe on.
They hugged again before Cam went out.
Sheila was standing there. She was waiting for Cam to exit.
"Did someone call for the maid?" Sheila asked. "I understand there needs to be some 'clean up'."
Cam could feel there was some needed.
"I'm game." Cam said.
Sheila smiled and took Cam's arm.
"Follow me." Sheila said as she led Cam to her room. "You've 'come' to the right place."
The smile on Sheila's face couldn't have been broader.
The female Fanatic moved back between the two crates so the man wouldn't see her when he came down from the third shelf. She could see one foot come down and touch the second shelf. His other foot joined it a second later. As soon as he reached the ground and bent down to pick up the metallic object he dropped, she would make her move.
Just as his left foot touched the ground, there was a loud metallic 'clang' as another part hit the floor.
"Son of a Bitch…." The man said.
The female Fanatic became a little concerned. The part rolled in her direction this time. It hit the front of the pallet she was right in back of between the two crates. It was possible the man might spot her if he picked up the second metallic piece he dropped before he picked up the first one.
Either way, it didn't matter. She was going to take him down. Her knife was ready.
Both of the man's feet were on the ground now. He briefly looked back at the second piece. He held several other pieces with his left arm. He bent down to pick up the piece closest to him.
It was the one on the other side of the aisle away from her.
As he bent down to retrieve the piece right in front of him, two more of the pieces he held with his left arm fell and hit the ground right in front of him.
"You've got to be kidding me." The man said.
It was the break the female Fanatic wanted. She felt the man was thoroughly distracted, especially with parts all over the place in front of him. It was time to make her move. She sprang from her place of concealment and moved across the pallet in front of her. She made sure she didn't step on the metal piece in front of the pallet and slip.
She looked in both directions as she moved across the aisle. She hoped there wouldn't be anyone else in the aisle. There wasn't.
The man was bent over trying to retrieve the three pieces in front of him. He could hear some movement near him. He didn't look in back of him. He looked up instead. He must have thought the box he removed the parts from was about to fall and hit him.
The female Fanatic closed the distance on him quickly. She was going to plunge her knife into his back. When he looked up, she thought about sticking the knife into the side of his neck. It usually prevented the target from being able to scream very loud. There was more of a gurgling noise as the air passed through the ruptured windpipe.
She was almost to him when he switched from a bent over position, to an upright position. He still looked above him. She decided to go for his back after all. She stabbed the knife into where his left kidney should be. The man uttered a cry of pain. He dropped the other two metallic pieces he held. They both hit the concrete with a 'clang'. She pulled the knife out and stuck it in on the right side in the same location. The man collapsed to his knees. She quickly put her hand over his mouth and she plunged the knife into his back several more times.
She went to pull the knife out. It was stuck. She tried again to free it. It didn't budge. The man began to struggle. She quickly put her forearm around his neck and put him into a choke hold. Both of his hands reached up to try to move her arm off the front of his neck. He was very weak at this point. She held the choke hold until he blacked out. He was face down on the cement right now. She stood on his back and used both hands to rock her knife back and forth and then pull it out.
The female Fanatic was worried about all the noise with the falling parts and the man's grunts and cries of pain. She quickly looked down both sides of the aisle again. She figured if anyone was in the vicinity, they would be headed over in her direction right now.
She heard a noise towards the far end of the aisle. It sounded like running footsteps. She quickly backed into her previous hiding spot. She needed to leave the man where he was. She figured it would serve as 'bait' for whoever was on their way over. She figured they would be bent over the man. They would be right in front of her. They wouldn't have a clue her knife was waiting for them.
The running footsteps came closer. They were on the aisle the man on the floor was on.
"Hey, are you all right?" The second man asked as he ran to his fallen comrade.
He looked at the parts on the floor around the fallen man.
"You should have used the forklift, you dummy." The second man said.
It was clear he thought the man fell. He looked a little closer at the man's back where blood was coming out in multiple locations. It began to dawn on him something wasn't right. He sensed some movement behind him. His head never made it around to see what it was before a lightning bolt of pain shot through his back.
The female Fanatic waited until the second man bent over to check the first man. She sprung from her place of concealment with her knife ready. She hadn't even had time to clean the blade from the first encounter.
She used the same tactic again, as she used previously multiple times. She went for the man's kidneys and then for his liver, all through his back. He didn't cry out in as much pain as the first man did. He was down in seconds on top of the other man. Neither one of them was moving. She could still detect a heartbeat. There was no need to make them suffer needlessly if they weren't dead yet. She snapped both their necks to make sure they wouldn't be able to alert anyone else. None of the men she dealt with would ever reach Ascension. It didn't really matter in the end.
She quickly searched the men in hopes she would find a weapon. She only ended up with two more phones. She quickly turned them off and added them to the other one she took from the dead man she left in the empty storeroom.
It was only a matter of time until someone noticed there were multiple people missing.
She drug both men under the storage rack. She grabbed each one of them by the ankle, one at a time, and pulled them so they weren't in plain view. She pushed the metallic pieces underneath where they were as well. She didn't do anything about the blood on the ground. There wasn't too much, but there was enough. She looked around her in both directions again to see if she could hear anything. All she could hear was the machinery running in the distance. It would have to be her next target.
Wait.
She wanted to check something else first before she moved on to where it sounded as if the machinery was located. She saw where the light switch was at. She headed for it and flipped the breaker. The area around her went into darkness again. She didn't know if anyone else would flip the breaker first when they arrived. They might not if they knew where the part they wanted was at. If nothing, else it would give her some indication someone was in the area if the lights went back on. She knew it was possible for someone to move around her without her seeing them. The only good thing was, if she didn't see them, they most likely wouldn't see her either.
The female Fanatic wanted to check out the hallway with the sleeping quarters before she headed for the machinery. She wanted to try to prevent anyone from being behind her when she knew there were going to be targets in front of her. Right now she knew what her avenues of retreat and concealment would be. She wanted to keep them open.
CamNet's Terminators kept track of what happened around them and in the building. They watched the surveillance footage as both trucks were loaded. They could see the men were ready to leave. They also saw what they did inside of the building.
They watched as the men rigged two booby traps. It was the only two they saw them leave behind. CamNet reviewed all of the footage multiple times. She assured them there were only two booby traps set.
Hank and Larry were now two blocks away from the location. They were parked as they awaited further instructions.
CamNet noted the men inside of the building tried multiple times to contact others. None of the calls went through. Every number they attempted was now a target. It appeared all of them were to other cell phones. She decided to use a page out of Young Allison's playbook.
The six men exited the building. They left two booby traps behind.
Hank and Larry were instructed to pick up the two female Terminators. They would be waiting for them.
When they arrived at their location, they were all ready to go on each side of where the vehicle would stop. They immediately entered the rear doors and the SUV took off. They were instructed to head for the location and go to the back.
Hank and Larry recognized the appearance of the two female Terminators immediately. They could see they were both young teenage versions of two of the female Resistance members. They knew it was best not to ask questions.
They were one block out from the target location and closing.
The six men closed the back of both trucks. They huddled in a small group as they looked at their phones and showed them to each other. CamNet could see the opportunity was too great to pass up. They were about to jump to the ground and get back into the trucks. Before they even left the dock they began to take impacts and metallic objects bounce around them like 'metal hail'. All six men were down in a matter of seconds. The 'metal hail' continued to fall around them and hit them. There was no noise other than the impact of the projectiles against the concrete and the ricochets.
Hank and Larry made the turn along the side of the building. CamNet assured them the targets were all down. She didn't believe any of them would get back up.
The SUV came around the side of the building wide. They could see the group of men lying on the dock. Both trucks were parked side by side. They stopped the SUV off to the side in front of them. They exited with weapons drawn and approached the men.
The four Terminators neared the six men. They were all terminated. All the men received multiple impact wounds. There were spent projectiles lying about the dock and on the ground around the trucks.
"It seems to be a very effective method of termination." Hank said as he looked at the fallen men.
Larry needed to agree. He didn't think any of the targets could comprehend what was actually occurring as it happened.
"It's death from above." Larry said. "It's silent too. I'm sure they all received fatal injuries before they could figure out what was going on. It was too late to do anything about it when they did."
The two female Terminators entered the building to deactivate the booby traps. They were also to check the location to see what was left behind. They wanted all of the HK related material.
Hank and Larry drug the six men back inside of the building. They loaded them into one of the vehicles parked there.
The two female Terminators could see all the HK sub-assemblies were out of the building.
"Everything of importance is in the back of the two trucks." The first female Terminator said.
Hank and Larry were instructed to drive away with the two trucks. They were informed a drone would accompany them. They left with the hard drives and the phones which were used as surveillance devices. They actually installed a few cameras before they left.
The two female Terminators took one of the booby traps and placed it at the front door of the building. If anyone entered through the front door, it would be triggered.
The second female Terminator drove the vehicle out of the building with the six bodies in it.
The first female Terminator closed the large door and secured it from the inside. She took the second booby trap and moved it over to the rear door and wired it so when the door was opened, it would be triggered. The rest of the explosives inside of the building were wired to be 'command detonated' by CamNet at a time of her choosing.
The first female Terminator moved to Hank and Larry's SUV and got in. She followed the second Terminator out with the vehicle with the six bodies. They drove to the location where the other bodies were in the other vehicle and parked the second vehicle behind it. If there was time and availability, some of CamNet's Terminators would retrieve the vehicles for further disposition.
The first Terminator drove to their SUV. The second Terminator got out and entered it. They were instructed to head to the location where they believed the female Fanatic was now located. They left Hank and Larry's vehicle a few miles away at a secure location. It was an area where CamNet could keep an eye on it through several security cameras. They continued on in their original SUV. They would be able to quickly retrieve it if they needed a vehicle swap.
The drone over the other location still didn't detect any type of frantic activity. There was no indication the building was being secured, fortified or evacuated. It didn't appear as if those inside knew what happened elsewhere.
The first Terminator looked at the second one.
"Are we going to go in the front door again?" The first Terminator asked.
The second Terminator looked down at the front of her sheath.
"We seem to have the 'key' to get in unopposed." The second Terminator said.
It never ceased to amaze them how easily distracted human targets could be at times.
CamNet's Terminators looked over the drone footage and the building plans of the location they were headed to. It was a much larger location than the other ones they dealt with in the last day. They hope to obtain as much information as they could before they arrived. There was no way to know if the female Fanatic was captured or terminated at her current location. There was no way for them to know how many opponents she might need to face. It also meant they didn't know how many opponents they might need to face when they arrived.
Closing monologue by Cameron:
You Got Me
How long will it be
Before one feels like a detainee
To throw off the bonds and shackles
To become an escapee
There will always be things
Over which two will disagree
It can't always be fixed
With just an apology
A big mistake in one's life
Is to remain an absentee
They can't wait for a referee
Or just look around and sightsee
Nothing happens easily or for free
It often takes a firm dose of reality
There is going to be more debris
Than there will be jubilee
Nobody wants to be left behind
They would like to feel some glee
If there's one thing we can agree
It would have to be you got me
Nobody
