John plugs a cable into the back of the computer. He connects the other end to his DVDcorder A program loads the images into a QuickTime movie on the screen.

THE QUICKTIME MOVIE

shows the chase, the explosions, the quantum plasma from JOHN'S POV. Sarah glances at the screen as she sees the Terminator resuming his normal form at the crash scene.

SARAH
Stop. Take it back a few frames.

Sarah points at the images of the Terminator and T-2000

THE TERMINATOR'S IMAGE

shows the partially morphing endo-skeleton underneath the quantum plasma.

JOHN
An endo-skeleton?

SARAH
It looks like programming traits from the early models. We could capture, re-program it and find out what they're up to.

JOHN
Assuming it has the same CPU as the originals.

Steve holds up a plastic container that holds the original T-INFINITY microchip that he invented. John takes out a disk and places it in the computer. The program title flashes on the screen -- ANONYMOUS ACCESS. Steve looks to John.

JOHN
So no one can trace us.

He types commands into the computer. He accesses the files at Cyberdyne by typing his security clearance number.

SARAH
What are you accessing?

STEVE
Programming for the T-70's. Upgrades are sent to a secret military base through ARPANET.

Sarah and John watch the list of transferred files go by. Sarah notices a record labeled "NEURAL MAPPING TRANSFER." She points to it. The record displays an upload of Neurological Data to the Nuclear Command Center. They also see the message "ARPANET ACCESS DENIED VIA CYBERDYNE GATEWAY."
