Terminator 2: Judgment Day - Identifying the Creator of Skynet
Sarah Connor:
I need to know how Skynet gets built. Who's responsible?
Terminator:
The man most directly responsible is Miles Bennett Dyson.
Sarah:
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.
Sarah: [sighs]
Jesus. How much do you know about Dyson?
Terminator:
I have detailed files.
Sarah:
I want to know everything. What he looks like, where he lives, everything.
