John orders the Terminator to take Kate and him to see Kate's father, a Lieutenant General who, in the present, is supervising the building of Skynet after Cyberdyne Systems went defunct. The Terminator reveals that John and his mother's actions merely delayed Judgement Day, and that his plan is to drive John and Kate to Mexico to escape the fallout when Skynet begins its nuclear attack at 6:18 p.m. The T-X also chases them, but they escape. Inside her vault, they find a weapons cache left at Sarah's request in case Judgment Day occurred. The Terminator takes them to a mausoleum where John's mother is supposedly interred. The Resistance sends a reprogrammed Terminator (T-850 – Model 101) to protect the T-X's targets, including John and his future wife, Kate Brewster.Īfter killing several other targets, the T-X locates Kate and John at an animal hospital, where Kate has caught John stealing. Unlike previous Terminators, its default appearance is female. This model is also designed to eliminate other Skynet-related machines. The T-X is more advanced than previous Terminators: it has an endoskeleton with built-in weaponry, a liquid metal exterior similar to the T-1000, and it can reprogram other machines after injecting nanorobotics. Unable to locate John in the past, Skynet sends a new model of The Terminator called the T-X to July 23, 2003, to kill other members of the Human Resistance. He rejects his fate as humanity's savior and hides from Skynet.

Although a war between humans and Skynet's forces did not occur on August 29, 1997, as foretold, John still fears it. John Connor has been living off the grid in Los Angeles following the death of his mother, Sarah Connor.
