The technicians SLAM open a panel to cut the power supply.

T-INFINITY sends a high voltage charge into the technicians, electrocuting them.

Technicians fall to the floor like flies, dead.

A CONTROL PANEL

shows T-INFINITY accessing the security systems.

INT. NUCLEAR COMMAND CENTER -- CAVERN -- MORNING

PROGRAMING COMMANDS FLASH on a control panel. T-INFINITY takes control. The endo-skeleton cyborgs in the cavern are reprogrammed. From a T-70's POV we see "SECURITY SWEEP ENGAGED -- TERMINATE HUMANS."

A SOLDIER reaches for one of the emergency shut-off collars lying at a control station.

A cyborg turns to him. It quickly reaches out, grabs the soldier by the neck, kills him. The other cyborgs take more weapons.

A FIRE FIGHT

erupts between the soldiers and cyborgs. Empty shells rapidly litter the floor. Bullets stream above soldiers ducking behind steel bins.

INT. MAIN CONTROL ROOM -- MORNING

THE CYBORGS

burst into the main control room and start shooting at the humans. General Harris and Colonel Reese throw themselves down to the platform.

Bullets RIP ACROSS Lieutenant Cox's chest. He's tossed backwards over a railing. Harris and Reese crouch down. They go down a short flight of steps.

HARRIS
Come on!

Harris and Reese run behind a desk. Reese takes a military version of the 9mm Beretta out of his holster and returns fire. Several rounds fired by the cyborgs RICOCHET off the desk and walls. This is a fire fight like in Vietnam, only the jungle is concrete and steel. Harris is short of breath.

HARRIS
You been in combat, Reese?
