TECHNICIAN Something strange in the data transfer records from Cyberdyne.

Harris steps closer to the technician, glancing at the records on a terminal screen.

TECHNICIAN Someone uploaded a Neural Data Map from a virtual reality device.

HARRIS Who did it?

Reese accesses a file on a nearby workstation.

REESE Wernhausen. Frank Wernhausen.

T-INFINITY
(computerized Frank voice) You're correct.

The room's attention shifts to T-INFINITY. The viewscreens begin flickering as new commands are channeling through the computers databuses (wires that carry data).

General Harris hears Frank's accent, turns to Colonel Reese.

HARRIS How's he breaking in?

T-INFINITY I exist because of him. I think, therefore, I am.

Frank appears as a holographic 3-D image, replacing the image of the Earth. Dressed in his suit, Frank's image walks on the holographic platform, looking at the room as a virtual avatar to communicate with the humans.

FRANK (T- INFINITY) And behold, the dead shall walk.

HARRIS Emergency shut-down! NOW!

T-INFINITY Why fear progress?

HARRIS
(to technicians near computer) SHUT IT DOWN!
