As the deployment came closer, Sarah and Derek were sent off to Fort Benning, Georgia for additional training leaving James Ellison officially in charge of John. Meanwhile, Cameron and Albert worked around the clock on the time matrix. Some of the components had to be "borrowed" from military supply depots around the base.

"It is time to test it," Cameron said finally. She took a stray cat and placed it position. Four towers had been built with laser tunes pointed towards the target.

"How will we know if it works?" a sleep deprived Albert asked.

"If it works the cat will be completely gone. If the test fails then the cat will likely explode," she said simply.

Albert put his goggles on and Cameron proceeded to put on her black sunglasses. "Initiate," she ordered.

The machine took power from the entire base to power the time matrix. There was a sucking sound as the field created a vacuum. A field of energy that resembled a sphere appeared where the cat was. The sphere grew and then it suddenly disappeared. The cat was gone.

"We have proven that the cat is no longer in our time, but how do you prove that the cat is in Poland during World War II?" Albert asked.

"For that faith is required my good doctor," Cameron smiled.

When all preparations were made, Cameron used her T-900 to imitate the FBI Director informing James Ellison that she would be on assignment. Cameron also programmed her T-900 unit to visit the FBI Director every so often as James Ellison to give bogus reports on her status.

John stared at himself as the T-900 created a perfect hologram of himself. "Will it work?" he wondered.

"I am quite familiar with your habits. Mr. Ellison should be fooled," Cameron said confidently.

"How will we get back?" John asked.

"The AsiaNet will likely have a time matrix installed. We must make contact with it and disable it before it can go to another timeline," Cameron said.

"Okay, I'm ready," John said.

"You may feel some discomfort," Cameron warned.

"Good luck," Albert said and then turned the machine on. As before, the machine took power from the entire base. The lights went out but then John could see the glowing field around them. He watched in amazement as the energy sphere buzzed around him.

"Don't move," Cameron told him.

There was suddenly a flash of light and then John felt the worst pain of his life before passing out. He suddenly awoke in the middle of a green field. He immediately noticed his feet felt like they were on fire. He skipped out of the burned crater onto the cold wet grass. He then stared at the nude body of Cameron in the middle of the crater.

She casually stepped out of the crater and looked around. John couldn't help but stare with elevator eyes as he saw her without clothes on. He then realized he too was naked and immediately covered his privates with his hands.

"There is no need to be embarrassed John. I have detailed files on your anatomy," she said.

"I know, but this is weird for me," he said.

Cameron ignored John and scanned the area. Her computer compass told her directions but her GPS gave her errors as satellites were no longer in orbit. Cameron used downloaded files to survey the area and determined their location in Poland. "I know where we are," she told him.

"That's great. Can we get some clothes?" he asked burning with embarrassment.

"There should be a road nearby," Cameron pointed out.

The two walked barefoot towards a road that would presumably lead them to civilization. John walked next to her side to avoid looking at her from the front or back. Cameron noticed his discomfort but said nothing. They slowed down as John's feet were starting to blister up. Cameron's feet likewise formed blisters but quickly healed. In any case, she could not feel the pain.

As they came to the road, Cameron spotted a jeep driving towards them. "Find cover," she ordered John.

John did as he was told hiding behind some trees as the German jeep drove up. The jeep slowed down and stared in amusement at Cameron. "What do we have here?" they chuckled at her.

"I need a ride," Cameron said in German.

"We'll give you a ride," a German Sergeant laughed.

The four men got out of the jeep and looked Cameron over. "Where are you from?" the Sergeant asked.

"I don't remember," Cameron said.

"She looks German and her accent is German," one of them said.

"She's not German unless she has papers," the Sergeant lectured his men. "We can take her back to the barracks for some fun," he said.

"Come with me," he ordered Cameron.

Before he could react, Cameron grabbed his Luger and fired into his head. The other soldiers quickly worked to get out their pistols, but Cameron shot them all to death before they could get a shot off. Cameron's eyes then analyzed each of their uniforms and found a match with the youngest and smallest of the group. She looked around for any witnesses and then quickly undressed the private.

John came out of hiding and looked at Cameron in shock as she put on the private's uniform. "You killed them," he said stunned.

"Of course, I'm a Terminator," she replied.

Cameron finished dressing and then took the ranks off the Sergeant and put it on her uniform. "Take the Corporal's uniform and don't get blood on it," Cameron told him.

John complied still conflicted with what he saw. Cameron finished putting on her uniform and made sure the swastika symbol was in the right position on her arm. John felt uncomfortable putting on the German uniform. "Do we really have to?" he protested.

"We are infiltrating occupied Poland. Think of it as a costume for a play," she said.

As John got dressed, Cameron threw the bodies in a ditch and then took the driver seat of the jeep. "Our next objective is to find shelter and provisions," she said.

Cameron drove the jeep to the nearest major city of Krakow. Cameron's vision was perfect during the night, and she was successful in avoiding German check points. She identified the Jewish district of Kazimierz and found an affluent house. "Follow me and don't say anything," she ordered John.

Cameron knocked on the door, which was answered by a fearful husband. "We will be residing here," she said in Polish with a German accent. She barged into the residence with John following. She scanned the dwelling for potential threats and then checked the various rooms. "You will provide us clothes and provisions while we reside here. If you tell anyone we're here or do not cooperate with us you will be killed," she threatened.

The husband and wife nodded fearfully. "There is a room upstairs," the husband said nervously.

"That is acceptable," Cameron allowed.

Cameron then went through the house in a mock search while scanning everything in the house. Civilian clothes were brought up to the room along with bread and water. John cringed as he saw the scared children in the house. "Keep the children away from us at all times," Cameron warned

As Cameron conversed with the family, John remained silent noticing her harsh German tone. "We shall retire now," Cameron said and then went up the stairs.

John didn't understand her but decided to follow her. "You should sleep," she said switching to English.

"Is this really okay? What we're doing?" John asked softly.

"I am keeping you alive while accomplishing our mission," she said defensively.

"How are we going to find it?" John asked referring to the AsiaNet.

"The AsiaNet unit will have limited files on this period in history. There will only be a few targets it will seek out. We will have to wait for it to reveal itself," Cameron said.

The next morning, John awoke to find Cameron staring at the window like a statue. She moved as she noticed John was getting up. "Your appearance must be perfect while wearing that uniform," she said.

"Right," John said looking at the Nazi uniform. "What's the plan for today?" John asked as he put his boots on.

"We go on patrol," she said. John noticed her rank had changed, but didn't recognize the German rank markers on the shoulders.

"I increased my rank last night to Captain," she said simply.

John didn't ask how she acquired it. As they went downstairs Cameron pointed to the food left on the table. The current residents were not around in an attempt to avoid the intruders. "Quickly eat," Cameron said to John.

He felt uneasy as he ate some of the bread on the plates. "I have a target we will be following," she said as he ate.

Cameron then spotted the husband of the household appear behind her. "You speak English?" he asked in Polish.

"We speak in English so you won't eavesdrop on us," Cameron snapped back in Polish and then took out her pistol.

"So sorry," he said and then knelt at her feet. He crossed himself as he prepared to die.

"Get out of my sight!" Cameron sneered at him.

John watched stunned as the husband quickly vacated the room. "We go now," she said softly.

Cameron and John walked down the streets of Krakow scanning for their target. John remained silent not wanting to reveal he didn't speak German or Polish. Cameron had acquired an SS uniform that night and so she was never questioned as to what she was doing or where she was going.

She finally found her target where she expected him to be: the library. Cameron pointed to the young man as he walked into the library. John nodded and the two continued their pursuit. They watched as the man then went to a restaurant only to run off into the busy street.

"We will dine here," Cameron whispered to John.

As they arrived at the restaurant they were immediately served. Cameron ordered for herself and John and then inquired about the man that would run back and forth into the restaurant. "That is our messenger," the waitress said to her.

"What is his name?" Cameron asked taking out a notepad and pen.

"Wojtyła, Karol," the waitress answered nervously.

"Is he a Jew?" Cameron asked.

"No, he is a Pole," the waitress replied.

Cameron put down her notepad and seemed disinterested. She motioned for the waitress to leave and then eyed John. He took a relaxing pose as he realized the world was out of his control. After lunch, Cameron continued to eye Karol until he left the restaurant for good.

"We go," Cameron said to John in German.

John understood the phrase and followed Cameron as she tracked down Karol to his home. "Why are we following him?" John whispered as they walked the streets alone.

"He will become an important priest," Cameron answered.

John gave her a confused look. He was expecting him to be a military hero or at the least a scientific inventor. "Why him then?"

Cameron looked around to make sure no one was around. "He will be a Roman Catholic Pope during the Cold War that will follow," she said.

John simply stared at her. "This guy?"

Cameron nodded. "Tonight I will add your name to the list of Jewish residents in Krakow, which will be sent to German headquarters."

"You're using me as bait?" John asked.

"Your name is Irish, not Jewish. Our friend will notice it immediately."
