- John Connor: After thirty years fighting the machines, humans barely escaped extinction. Every year, Skynet unleashes new war machines against us, each one designed for a single purpose, to wipe us out. Every year we continue to defy by fighting back, and striving to live another day. Some look on me as a Messiah; John Connor, the warrior prophet come to lead humanity to victory. If they only knew what I knew. In less than a week, Skynet will activate it's latest creation: a time machine. It will send an infiltrator back to 1984 to kill my mother. Skynet hopes that Sarah Connor's death will prevent my birth, and rewrite history, so I'll never lead the human resistance against the machines' rule. What Skynet doesn't know is that I'm ready to counter its plan. My Tech-Com forces are assembling to attack its home base at NORAD, buried deep within Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado. If we strike with speed and strength, we'll destroy the facility before our enemy has a chance to assault our past, in order to destroy or future. If we'retoo late to stop Skynet, I have a backup plan: A man named Kyle Reese.
- Alexander Stone: I can handle that Gabriel. Leave everything to me.
- Captain Gabriel Stone: Once you're done, join me for the finale in Colorado. It's coming together like a symphony. We need... brother, behind you!
- [Luna points her gun at Alexander]
- Alexander Stone: Tell Connor to stop challenging fate. He sealed his with my brother, the same way you did when your botched intel walked Gabriel into a trap.
- Catherine Luna: That was a long time ago Alex. Where's Reese?
- Alexander Stone: He's here, alive and well. For the moment that is, just like you.
- Catherine Luna: You're being jerked around like a puppet Stone. The only thing that's keeping you alive is that I have a faint ray of faith there's something man left inside of you. Take me to Reese, and don't give me an excuse to waste you.
- Alexander Stone: I thought you had faith in me.
- Catherine Luna: I'm losing it.
