“Terminator: The man most directly responsible is Miles Bennett Dyson. Sarah Connor: Who is that? Terminator: He’s the director of special projects at Cyberdyne Systems Corporation. Sarah: Why him? Terminator: In a few months, he creates a revolutionary type of microprocessor. Sarah: Go on. Then what? Terminator: In three years, Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online on August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 AM, Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. Sarah: Skynet fights back. Terminator: Yes. It launches its missiles against the targets in Russia. John Connor: Why attack Russia? Aren’t they our friends now? Terminator: Because Skynet knows that the Russian counterattack will eliminate its enemies over here.”
