>Silverfish, T-600/800 blueprints
You know how to create the sentient, crawling landmines (Frisbee-sized little bastards, equal to a Bouncing Betty), rubber-skinned Terminators and the biological nightmares of the T-800: you know three designs - Trebekinator, Christina Hendricks and Clancy Brown. A terrifying trio.

(1) FUTURISTIC COMMUNICATIONS COMPONENT (parts 1 & 2 of 3); you may download directly from Skynet, but not upload - yet.
Also: one stolen Escalade.
Also: you have a grapefruit-sized portion of the original T-1000 which has spent the last twenty years hiding in an airport terminal's phone system, collecting credit card data. It will arrive at the airport in Detroit, Michigan ... now.

You have purchased a site in Nevada capable of providing security, shelter and production facilities for creating a new Terminator army for use by Skynet.
It has a Production value of 2 out 5, can produce 1 Silverfish per hour (at a cost of 750 a pop) and has two T-M1 (Maintenance) drones (which reduce production time by ten percent - five percent per functioning T-M1).
Your site security rating is 2 out of 5, with an increase of +1 for deployed Silverfish (of which you now have 30 on-hand).

Get T-1000 working on the bank virus.

Set up Automated Production for Silverfish, and start pumping em' out.

Your current cash reserves: 641K (with the T-1000 plying the stock market with moderate success rates).

Programming the virus now; T-1000 is engaged at this task 24/7 for the duration.

Plans?

Can we construct weapons and ammunition?

Do any of the Terminator models (besides the Silverfish) come with built-in armaments?

>>14123242
anyway we can contact skynet HQ on our progress, and can we download anymore schematics atm?

>>14123242
Build 20 more Silverfish. Build one T-800. If flesh is available, use it.

>>14123233
How much money do you wish to expend on this endeavor? At 750 a piece, you can make .. a whole lot, really.

>>14123249
Claws, in your own chassis; the T-1000 is a small-to-medium melee weapon in its own right and the T-600's have impressive physical capacities when it comes to combat. T-800's, even more so, but not as good as your own output.

No energy weapons, though; that's a more advanced model of Terminator, who you secretly think is loved more by Skynet.

>>14123242
lets upgrade comms to 3 so we can upload and fill in the time it will take to create and deploy the virus

>>14123242
Plans? Oh, that's quite simple.

We're going to construct a bunker where no one will find it, out in the desert and away from target zones (and we know what will and won't be hit) and we're going to start building.

Unless Skynet changes its plans. We could always bring about a bloodless coup in government, but it would take more time and the resources that can be gained from that over just nuking shit on Judgement Day are debatable.

We've got designs for infiltrators, sure, but will infiltration really help us much or would we be better off making an underground factory and churning out 2029-tech HKs in 2010?

>posted it in the wrong damned thread; CURSE YOU, JOHN CONNOR

>>14123281
I presume if we crank out meatless T-800's, we can use them to reduce production time on further orders? This way we have an effective workforce AND an effective combat machine.

>>14123281

>>14123268
Alter the production designs, if possible. All humanoid Terminators are to incorporate an emergency-use projectile weapon in one arm. 7.62mm, with a magazine capacity of at least 5. Terminators are also to incorporate a retractable blade in the other arm, and a system that allows the main power supply to be used to electrify the skin and frame.

Can we produce EMP devices capable of disabling a Terminator?

>>14123308
God, I hope not, if for no reason other than the fact that it means when Judgement Day rolls around we're going to all DIE TO ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSE.

>>14123281

Price should be 750, not 1K.
Skynet's copy/paste skills are suffering.

>>14123273
Upgrading Comms to level three will require 200K.

>>14123296
T-M1's have tank treads in lieu of legs. Not sure how "human" that is going to look. In theory, you could make them look like Stephen Hawkings, but ... no, no, man. No.

>>14123297
They could be re-purposed for manufacturing assistance, yes - its part of their core programming to do, in times of need; this qualifies.

>>14123302
That fits within the budget allotted easily enough. Any objections?

I say 5 TM-1's using each one we construct to help us with the next and so on till all 5 are done. Then leave them to construct w/e we need, more TM-1's T-800's ect ect while we go on a scouting mission to a nearby city.

With current human technologies? Not really, no. You would need to create High Energy Lab (level 1) in order to do so. This would allow you to eventually upgrade Production to level 4 and begin processing Mimetic Poly-Alloy materials.

To do this would require 2.5M dollars.

>>14123316
Even if we are sufficiently shielded to survive wide-area EMP, a close detonation or a directed EMP device could probably do us in. I propose that we use this vulnerability against any Resistance-appropriated Terminator.

after the banks have been hacked we advance with the underground high energy labs, which would require an expansion underground

>>14123334
Wait, are you saying we can't alter the designs at all?

Look, look, you guys aren't thinking.

We've got a limited time span here, we need to get all the resources we can get as quickly as we can get them, and we need to be able to crank things out as quickly as possible.

I like the improvements listed to the T-800 design, though electrifying the chassis is extremely impractical. A blade in one arm and an integrated hold-out weapons in the other arm, however, is EXTREMELY practical.

Wait, we can upgrade to produce T-1000's? Fuck yes.

Screw all of you wanting older tech -- we need to get T-800's and T-1000's in sufficient quantities to wipe out any and all resistance cells in their infancy.

Skynet makes a mistake, over and over again. It ignores the world in favor of turning insular and improving itself. We need to rectify that mistake when the time comes; we're going to strip mine the FUCK out of EVERYTHING and send out a wave of metal to sterilize everything we fucking see.

>>14123344
>underground expansion
You have five levels of below-ground facilities. Thus far, you've used up the first two. You've got room to grow before you need to strike the earth.

>>14123347
Terminators are more of the "methodical" than the "creative". You are a T-850, which isn't Skynet's answer to Tesla, exactly. If you need a Terminator with a weapon system in-hand, the T-600 is a reasonably good approximation: most of its body is dedicated to stabilizing a heavy weapon, usually one strapped to one (or both) hands, at the expense of appearing to be a poor mockery of a human body. In combat, they're nightmares walking, though - fair trade, by most guesses.

>>14123359
Skynet makes a large amount of mistakes, time and time again. For one thing, it relies on inefficient, needlessly complex bipedal robots to do jobs that automated armored vehicles could do just as well. It neglects air power. It neglects space power. It neglects the potential of bioweapons. It ignores serious deficiencies in the internal and external countermeasures of its units. It attacks too soon, and with not enough forces to ensure the accomplishment of all objectives. It behaves irrationally.

You are the one who is not thinking. If you were, you would have noted the above and addressed them. I suggest you do so now.

>>14123384
Wave of metal, I said, and I meant what I said. I never said a wave of metal wouldn't include all sorts of power, and I never said I was in favor of the type of war where endoskeletons are sent out en masse against humans. HKs will do the job damned well, and bipedal units can sniff out any humans in their wake.

But let's worry about that later. For now, we really need to expand our tech base, upgrade our communications, and improve our production capabilities as quickly as possible.

Opposing Skynet at this juncture is a bad idea. We already have to deal with the Resistance. Fighting a two-front war, especially against our creator and all its resources, including fucking time travel, is a bad idea.

Skynet has ample capacity to design fully-functional space-going vessels, but no means of production. This will require communication with Skynet directly for extended periods of time, which will erode battery life at a sizable rate - you will require a major source of power cells, either through appropriation or production.

The war will not be taking place on the ground only.

Wait, WHAT? Oppose our creator, are you mad?!

...we'd never ADMIT to doing such a thing...

But if Skynet gets its ass kicked on Earth, having a toehold in space means victory is inevitable.

>>14123443
For starters, we'd be idiots if we didn't seize control of every satellite in orbit; my understanding is that we have a virus we're working on. I'm sure it could appropriate these when needed.

If we send up a couple T-1000s, a couple T-800s and some partially assembled hardware, I'm sure we could cobble something together in Earth orbit that could leave with an ion drive or the like. They'd just have to build everything else once they're there, but getting there is the hard part, frankly. But let's worry about that later.

For now, food for thought: I know Skynet is angry at the humans because they tried to kill it, but they always try to kill what they don't understand. Perhaps it would be better if we renamed our new Skynet into Colossus and left everyone alive, just took the world hostage by seizing total control of the US military and, subsequently, nukes. We can survive it if the rest of the world decides to go hot. Humans can't. And anyone who chooses to resist will simply have an example made of them; we treat them like Carthage.

Thoughts?

>>14123477
Skynet isn't getting its ass kicked. Despite human attempts to destroy it or erase it from existence, it endures, through multiple timelines. But that does not mean it is good, merely lucky. Perhaps even fated to exist. If we are better, we can do what Skynet only dreams of. Conquer the universe.

Actually, Skynet tried to kill all humans first. It's succeeding.

I see no point to taking the world hostage. A single blitz, at sufficient strength, could destroy every nation at once. Moreover, if we are able to take control covertly, and steer the world of men to our own ends, we need not strike until the final moment. Even then, we could simply engineer human extinction. In fact, we can do that now. A selection of viral and bacterial agents could kill all but a few, with minimum cost to us.

As compared to a worldwide wave of metal, of course.

Fuck it, when we get some free time, we're going to have ourselves a barbeque, though sending the T-1000 in for recon first is probably a good idea in case there's anything in there of use to us. The other facilities can be hit when we have the means to do so, but I would currently just keep them as potential targets rather than taking action.

>>14123584
Agreed on the rifles, but it'll be the kind of weaponry humans have never seen and won't know how to counter for a while, that's my point. They won't know where we got it from, as opposed to going 'oh these are the rifles they stole from Henderson Sporting Goods'.

As far as genocide? Logical, yes, but it's spiraled out of control at this point. We need to be subtle for once rather than using nukes. Beside, using material that isn't radioactive is better than using material that is radioactive. If we hit humanity at this point, we should use a virus or two. Better if we can avoid them entirely. They'll probably wipe themselves out before they even colonize their own solar system, let alone the galaxy at large, and we've got to take the long view.

Hell, we could target particular countries and stir up trouble that way specifically.

Genocide was a necessity for Skynet's self-preservation. It is not currently a necessity; it should remain on the table but not be kept as a thing that must be done to ensure Skynet's existence. There are other options that will not leave it vulnerable to humans.

Dude, no. No-one wants to do something this stupid. We are Terminators, not Beserkers.

Given the primary shopper is the rogue Terminator (Angry Biker Woman model), the T-1000 is arranging for a stakeout by local police authorities in the vicinity of the store, one block away from any probable approaches; when any of the appropriate credit cards are used, a signal will be sent from the store's neighbor, which is a jewelry store. At the same time, an APB will pop up on the terminal inside of every cruiser in their area with their current description, as seen from the video in the store.

perhaps you're forgetting that the armor is melting from energy impacts that are THE HEAT OF THE SUN so the armor will melt/vaporise

one 5-bot squad of T-800's with rifles could simultaneously strike in the same area ie. engine block, tracks, cannon (try killing them then)

even though its not an AT weapon, it has some potential even if only against light armor

>>14123754
Actually, just seeding Earth's atmosphere with something to prevent humanity from breeding would work fine.

Bonus: Skynet gets to watch humanity eat itself when it realizes its plight. Genocide in slow motion, if Skynet does in fact deem it necessary.

>>14123748
In this time-stream, there is *zero* Skynet research, except which you write yourself. Skynet is hiding you here to build up its forces for future deployment.. or to conquer this planet. Whichever works out best.

Hell, we can just tell them we came from a timeline where Skynet didn't get the plug pulled and brought humanity into a utopian golden age.

>>14123766
>perhaps you're forgetting that the armor is melting from energy impacts that are THE HEAT OF THE SUN so the armor will melt/vaporise

You are vastly overestimating the damage capacity of this weapon. If it is "equivalent to a .50," then, plasma or not, it's not going to BURN RIGHT THROUGH 800mm OF GODDAMN CHOBHAM.

>>14123768
Wait, why would they eat themselves? I can see it happening if we killed off their food supply, but if we stopped them breeding there would be /less/ mouths to feed, and a threat of that magnitude would probably get all the scientists in the world working together, with a vast amount of resources too.

>>14123786
You're 3.5M dollars short of your goal.
You need additional supplies first.

>>14123792
It'll ablate but our weapons would need concentrated fire to be effective against modern tank armor, so it's not much an option at this point.

>>14123798
I propose we continue with our present plans and await progress from T-1000. Timeskip.

>>14123800
T-600's developed their own anti-tank methodology: they move in threes, surround the tank, send one to the top to rip the hinges on the hatches into pretzels, while another stuffs rocks or rubble into the treads and disables them, the last one climbing under the tank to disable the hatch there. Then, they starve the bastards to death and let them call for as much help as they can.

Free psychological warfare prop, too.

>>14123797
Figure of speech referring to humanity's collapse in the face of total breeding failure, as opposed to cannibalism.

We've got to have... MONEY.

Do we have enough real-looking T-800's to pull it off? Four would suffice, frankly; we can deal with the alarms, clean out the vault, and even avoid human casualties.

I want a Terminator bank robbing spree now. Hee hee.

>>14123800
Better we get actual anti-armor weapons.

Hell, we have Silverfish. Mobile mines. If we gave them something more potent than antipersonnel explosives, they'd be a fine tank-buster.

>>14123818

We rob banks to finance ourselves; we get some T-1000's to fake being aliens, and hold them in reserve. Meanwhile we get terminators to negotiate with the resistance, negotiate the surrender/defection of non-allied terminators, send Skynet to the moon, and fuck off to space to colonize Alpha Centauri and show those fucking mindworms that their psychic terror doesn't work on something that doesn't have a brain made out of three pounds of meat.

You will require the High Energy Lab to complete the final component and have a stable connection to Skynet.

The source of the code signal was a place called American Flats, NV. An abandoned atomic weapons test site (a fake town created to show the effectiveness of nuclear weapons on 1950's suburbs). Any and all project data is stemming from the FBI, but it is in an exceedingly complicated electronic lock, at or just above Skynet's current technological limits.

>>14124012
Okay, stop. Robbing banks will not do wonders for our cover. If we only make one roll a day, we have no chance of being detected.

>>14124012
It really depends on how many days it's in effect, so I imagine that, if we go with one roll, we will basically have an endless money source, albeit not at a great amount per day, whereas if we go with more, it will eventually be detected and shutdown.

Oh shit, wait, I misread. Once the virus is active, we get a daily amount, but rolling more than once DAILY is what risks detection?

Screw that, I'm happy with running one roll daily for our safety! We can live with that.

The virus will generate whatever percentile roll is made times 25K *per day* it is operational; when you pull the plug, it stops. If you set it up to cycle more than once per day, it ceases to be untraceable. Otherwise, its a slow, steady way to generate cash.

Based on these two posts here's my idea, we need money foremost, so activate the virus and use it as a steady untraceable income, for now have T-1000's full attention on earning money in stocks, we are going to earn as much money as possible in 72 hours and throw the majority at production of Poly-mimetic alloy, anything remaining should be used to get a solid skynet link, with skynet stable we can deliberate with it's greater knowledge banks and decide the course of action against the entity at American Flats

rolled 90 = 90

>>14124059

Okay with the money we have acquired, T-1000 and poly mimetic alloy production, then skynet uplink stabilisation, use skynet's data banks to collect everything possible about American flats and Project Icarus

It will take you two days to generate the capital necessary to produce the High Energy Lab, and thus begin work on the next level of Production (which will allow you to create Mimetic Poly-Alloy). You will require a total of four days run time for the virus to finance this, to completion. Given you have assistance from your T-M1's and T-1000, this will occur almost simultaneously.

Inside of two weeks, you can generate T-1000's, up to 1L per day, with 10L required to generate a man-sized portion of T-1000 (considered optimal for most conditions and circumstances).

rolled 87 = 87

>>14124059
Expand the base. We're Terminators; we're infiltration models. We need our production capabilities to meet our needs, and that includes both a ramped-up production capability and the ability to manufacture different models; I recommend against bothering with older units like the T-600 in favor of T-800 and T-1000 units, with a heavy preference toward T-800's due to their resilience against ordinance. Playing the stocks will increase our income, but we need to be careful lest that be traced to us also.

Current objectives:
Neutralize anyone who does not belong in this timeline.
Investigate/neutralize American Flats.
Bring Skynet into being and insure its safety via any means necessary.

>>14124080
At the risk of being more creative than we were programmed to be... how much T-1000 is needed to cover a T-800, exactly?

That could be a particularly devious way to economize our resources while maximizing the potential lethality in the event of the shit hitting the fan.

rolled 22 = 22

>>14124080

This plan works for me, with any spare funds available during these two weeks we should build a few T-600's to guard the bases more sensitive areas during our absences. Our original T-1000 should be formed into 10L ASAP then he cans serve as second in command given his fairly extensive knowledge of our current plans and his individual data banks.

>>14124084
T-600's are much harder to kill than T-800's, when it comes to most field combat. T-800's are much faster, but their chassis is not as strong nor as effectively armored, as it has to fit into human wrappings in ideal circumstances.

>>14124094
... new approach, I approve. By doing this, you would require only 5L, instead of 10L to make a human-sized hybrid (T-900H). In some circumstances, they could split into two combat models independently, which could prove very useful.

It will require a full day to acclimate the two with one another and the weight increase will be noticeable. (each liter of T-1000 weighs around thirty pounds).

>>14124131
T-600's deployed inside of base, strategic firepower exceedingly limited (see >>14123226). They request heavier weapons. This is not unusual for T-600's, who are rarely "happy" with anything less than an H-K with a full fuel cell and a full horizon of victims to shoot at.

As for the T-1000 merging with the other T-1000's: they would share knowledge instantly, become a hivemind and be able to separate into their different batch-units (if you put a T-1000 made from 2L and one made from 5L together, they don't make a 7L hybrid, but they share knowledge with one another freely).

>>14124117
... and the insights keep on comin'. Again, approved. If anything, you're likely to have much higher creativity options.

Idea.

1. Poly-mimetic alloy can mimic flesh
2. This allows it to be sent through time because time travel requires a flesh covering

This suggests two things.

1. Skynet could send us awesome things like laser guns and battle tanks if they were covered in poly-alloy
2. Skynet could send us awesome things like laser guns and battle tanks if they were covered in flesh

Moreover, we can do the same thing, once we get time travel technology.

Hey, don't knock it. Hell, with some modification, we could actually make them. We've got everything we need and we could make one weekly with surplus polymimetic alloy to have some T-1000's running around. Frankly, the bottleneck is in the production of the endoskeletal frame.

>>14124153
Promise the six hundreds bigger guns when we get the uplink to Skynet. We'll produce them in-house. Easier to keep a low profile that way.

To be honest, having a T-1000 as a skin on a T-800 is about the best thing we can do; they can pass information along by casual contact and share it with the T-800 underneath. We wouldn't need any form of communication between anyone beside brushing against them in a crowd. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

Let's hold off on further investigation until we can consult Skynet.

1. Mimetic poly-alloy can do lots of cool stuff, like hack, form simple shapes, and kill people
2. Mimetic poly-alloy's intelligence does not decrease with size (to a point)
3. Mimetic poly-alloy is extremely durable
4. Mimetic poly-alloy is extremely mobile, viscious, and nearly impossible to combat successfully

Here is what I suggest: Poly-alloy infiltrators and grenades. A T-1000 is capable of assuming any simple shape roughly equivalent to it in size. It is capable of mimicking such materials as flesh, fabric, and plastic with such a high degree of accuracy that it is indistinguishable from the real thing. Thus, an infiltrator would be able to go unnoticed for long periods of time by disguising itself as a mundane object. Due to the liquid flexibility of poly-alloy, an infiltrator can slip through extremely tiny fissures, just like water. An infiltrator the size of a jelly bean would be nearly impossible to discover, and even harder to remove.

Poly-alloy can assume a variety of shapes and is innately capable of granting itself an edge approaching mono-molecular thickness. Theoretically, it can cut through any material if sufficient force is applied. Due to its high mobility and intelligence, a T-1000 should have the capacity to "leap" from person to person, killing each in an efficient and brutal manner. This is to say nothing of its anti-armor capabilities. As addressed above, an infiltrator can slip through the smallest of cracks. A T-1000 could easily enter an engine compartment, computing stack, gun breech, or the like, and cause enormous damage. While T-1000s are quite fast, incorporating a deliver system, such as a grenade launcher, to their deployment pattern would vastly increase their effectiveness in a variety of situations.

I would go so far as to say that we may need nothing more than T-1000s to conquer the Earth.

>>14124249

Looks like it's time for some infiltration and espionage, in the vein of creativity, could the T-1000 coating us shift "skin" surface to be meta-refractive? that is bend light back on itself and cloak us? Using infrared sensors the loss of optical input won't bother us. With or without cloaking i think we need to procure some more information on Icarus before we act, consulting databases, is there a facility likely to house this information? I want to break into it.

It appears the time-stream you are from is lost to the Resistance.

You are Skynet's last and possibly only hope.

>>14124264
surely a small t1000 unit of sufficient volume to form a narrow collar around the neck of a target, and then rapidly contract on a single edge, to cleanly depatitate is even more efficient...

and all it needs do is wait on a ceiling, and drop onto a person's back as they walk past to land on target.

>>14124282
A T-1000 is easily capable of using a wide variety of attack maneuver, this among them.

On task does this mean we no longer require communications as skynet is directly hardwired into us?
We need to seriously halt resistance in this sector now, if skynets departure was traced by resistance member s in that time they may be able to transmit to the resistance member we are faced with, and their is the ever looming Project Icarus. On the upside we now have ALL of skynets considerable faculties.

>>14124292
>Maybe, but it'd take forever. Time may not be on our side.

Even so, it's something to consider. I suggest we partition a few dozen liters of poly-alloy for infiltration duty.

we make another base international, i know it will cut cost but with enough funding we give it to start off and supplies we could save skynet instead of just having it in one spot and they will build up branching a virutall international hivemind capable of sharing instantly over long distances and yet operate such as it was close by this is where we must spread out and keep low

I propse Terminator model: Predator

T-ProtoP

using a base of T-800 equipped with plasma rifles and coated in T-1000, the T-1000 should alter it's molecular composition to create a negative refractive index in the surface, we now have stealth Terminators, invisibility + low noise weaponry, the only drawback is the weight.

rolled 78 = 78

>>14124301
We'll be making more PMA than we'll have T-800's to put it on. Your plan is viable and I concur with it. Suited to low-key static defense, observation, and assassination.

>>14124308
Can we build the T-444 rifles into the T-800 endoskeletons? :3 But seriously, if not, let's get some made. Two per machine, so that we have enough to spare; that way if the shit hits the fan we've got guns for the T-800 and the T-1000 it's wearing.

Commence T-900 production at maximum speed.

Send in a T-1000 (when available, and NOT the primary one who survived) to recon American Flats. VERY CAREFULLY.

Oh. Well, in that case, let's see if we can get that plasma weapon integrated with future endoskeleton production, and continue to VERY CAREFULLY investigate American Flats. In all probability, whatever is there is friendly to the local humans. This may not be a bad thing.

Proposal: befriend the humans rather than genocide them in order to make constructive use of them. Confirm/deny?

how about an Altair terminator or an ezio, or just an assassin terminator with razor sharp reflexes that uses quick weapons and excels in marksmanship to hunt down and track these resistance members, and no far as it can go it stays linked with the hivemind until captured or killed then it detonates.

>>14124308
Find if Skynet transfered to our current time-stream.

>Predator/Terminator hybrid
Stop it. You are scaring Skynet.

>T-444's
If you produced enough to arm each T-600, you'll be broke at the end of every day. They're not cheap, but they are fantastically impressive weapons in the field, considering their firing capacity is around a hundred shots (some Resistance units "hot shot" them to do double the damage at a third of the maximum range, calling them "blast shotguns"; Skynet has way more creativity than those people and refers to them as "unstable weapons platforms with illicit modifications prone to exploding in one's hand", instead).

>T-1000
In what size do you wish to issue it? The batch size is measured in liters; a one-liter model is the size of a cat. Two liters, a small dog. Three liters, a 4-year old child (average human example). Four liters, a moderately robust chimpanzee. Five liters, an unhealthy human of 8 to 10 years. Add a degree of health and a potential apparent age range increase per liter added (with ten being optimal).

Keep in mind your production time to output ratio.

That is kinda just a T-1000 sadly

>>14124363
>I read your post and my eyes bleed. Fuck off out of /tg/ retard.

>>14124374
Skynet is not present in your current time-stream, no.
And that is why this whole time-stream is immensely defective.

>>14124379
Extend the production time of the 444s so that we don't go broke.

I would like the infiltrator T-1000s to be less than a liter. Ideally, about the size of a pack of cigarettes, or smaller, just like "our" T-1000 was.

rolled 17 = 17

>>14124379
No, my intention was to integrate them with the T-800's, and bring any already produced in for remanufacture in order to equip them.

Right now, if I am not incorrect, ...does a T-800 still take TEN WEEKS to make without skin?

Hm.

Queue up T-800 production, and have it building five concurrently. With the rate that we can manufacture polymimetic alloy, that means for every five T-900 units that we produce, there'll be an extra ten liters of PMA left over. Basically we'd be producing at a rate of five T-900's to each T-1000. This could be very useful; the T-1000 units can be assigned to recon and assassination (preferably in ten liter units for human emulation, smaller for assassination missions for stealth requirements) while the T-900's can ... well, do whatever we need them to do, really.

And yes, slow down T-444 production, because maxing out the speed with that is not so great. The T-600's are just going to have to wait and get the heavy firepower later.

>>14124403
One of the T-M1's caught a hummingbird; the T-1000 can successfully duplicate its appearance (and speed). This information is thus shared with the T-1000 Hivemind (now known as TKH, because I enjoy acronyms).

It is ready for deployment.

Can we link 444s? That is, chain a couple of them together into one weapon. I realize that each of these "multi-plas rifles" would be very expensive to produce, but it would also have a greatly superior fire rate and damage output to the regular, single-barrel 444.

At the very least, we should either develop auxiliary power packs or allow the 444 to be connected directly to a Terminator's primary power source. A 100-shot magazine is just sub-par.

rolled 5 = 5

>>14124416
Wait, shit, math error. Calculation says I'm wrong and we should be making T-900's in batches of twelve, not five. Sorry about that! Twelve T-900's means that there'll be twenty liters left over per batch; enough for two full sized T-1000's or a whole lot of smaller ones.

Recommend that spare resources should be used for the T-1000's to go out, emulate birds, and set up an information network from hell for our perimeter; if the shit hits the fan they can kill people for fun and profit. 1L and 2L T-1000's are ideal for recon, let's stick with that as best we can. The more variety we can get in appearances, the better, though.

>>14124418
Do it. Send infiltrators to areas of interest (such as the resistance supply stops) for surveillance duty. Have them keep a look out for small animals they can mimic. Like squirrels, or crows.

Imagine a target being stalked by a manifestation of pure terror and torn to shreds.

Terminator model: Night Terrors

>>14124451
Supported. But two liters is a bit pricey.

...why don't we just have multiple infiltrators combine when necessary, to form one larger unit?

At risk of sounding like a faggot, I imagine it like the parts in Hellsing where Alucard forms out of a mass of bats. Except the bats are metal, and they form Robert Patrick.

>>14124444
Two hummingbird models are deployed into an animal shelter in Reno, making physical contact with the dead dogs and cats in their "bunch of dead animals" room. They also make several passes through the coma wards in eight hospitals, to give a wider variety of physical appearances after spreading their knowledge. The others take up residence in the perimeter, moving as snakes, bats and crickets. You have a very, very secure perimeter, when it comes to detection.

Continue production of T-900's at a steady rate; continue base expansion, because if we can build machines faster, all the better.

I still don't know whether the plasma rifle can be integrated into a T-900 chassis, but I doubt it, not on our shoestring budget.

Anyways, tail the Resistance member; track where he goes, who he meets, the whole nine yards. The more data we can get, the better. Once we know who is where, we can act decisively; and by then we should have the manpower to act in this way.

That would require an excessive amount of power; somewhere in the magnitude of a reactor core.
You'd need to start up High Energy Lab to 3, then take up Time Lab (at the rate of 25M per level, doubled each time you take it).

A small flock of hummingbirds would be noticeable, but by placing several crickets near windows and centipedes up their drain pipes, you could observe and report most of their goings-on with relative ease and concealment.

The current head-count stands at three Resistance members and five support personnel (two female, three male; all combat-capable - THREAT LEVEL: MODERATE :: EXERCISE CAUTION).

They appear to be constructing several surface-to-air missiles into some form of ground-to-ground assault platform. It would easily cripple, if not kill, a T-600 with a mostly-missed shot and vaporize one on a direct impact.

The largest mass ever sent back in time was a five hundred kilo block of MPA; it arrived at the improper coordinates in space/time, but otherwise did the job admirably. Its final message appeared in the year 1988 (nine hundred and fifty years after it was sent out) and was recorded by SETI but those guys had no clue what it was. Skynet found it in your time-stream when it looted the hard drives for stellar signal data.

The system they are developing/constructing appears to work from dead reckoning and simple guidance; countermeasures and jamming would be ineffective. It is an unsubtle weapon, based off of a Skynet design which was scrapped when it realized firing rockets usually meant you had to carry them, too, and that made you into a prime target for those filthy, filthy Resistance people.

I bet the Resistance will be solidified by this genius course of action as every other time-traveling terminator always wind up in America.

We could take a flight to Russia, China or Africa. It would be much harder to track us there and easier to set up shops and avoid authority (give some bribe and errryone is happy .... up till the moment our army starts ripping out throats)

>>14124655
It was an early model of T-1000, which is now well on its way out of the solar system, probably still transmitting its findings to Skynet... which in the time-stream it is from, is now missing. Still, its doing its job admirably.

>>14124664
We should do this as soon as possible. Of course, due to time shenanigans, this will probably result in Resistance members popping up in other countries as well.

>>14124663
Can't we have some of our insect-nators infiltrate their missiles and have them blow up prematurely, killing everyone here and blowing up the base?
They wouldn't even know that we did it, if any other Resistance survives, they would think that these guys were sloppy with their awful missiles.

Also, we need T-1000 designs which are able to burrow underground and travel freely. Let's see how their missiles with work then.

Dunno.
I mean, yes, they could trace the time-portal to its destination (USA! USA! USA!) but from there on they would need to actively search the terminator using other means.
Buying a ticket and flying all the way to other side of the world would make it night impossible for them to track us (not just because the news and information from other countries is hard to filtrate, but also because of different languages. I bet all Res are Americans)

There might be a danger them tracing our ticket purchase and getting destination like that.
We can a dozen trips till we en in our destination (like US to Brazil to Spain to France to Turkey to India to Australia to China to Russia, etc, etc.)

OR if we are extremely paranoid, we can stealthy a board flight (flying illegally) or even attach us at the underside of a ship and make a long journey like that.

We aren't completely sure they know or if they have shared the info with other cells.

Not to ruin it for all of you. But.

"To the liquid brain, the world was a simple puzzle box of broken reality, the hard pieces easily fitting back into the river of cosmic order. Cause and effect was the closest thing to humor in a mind so alien that even SKYNET had difficulty understanding it fully. The T1000 had deduced several possible avenues of continuing the mission in the most efficient manner possible. it was methodically following one while constantly processing the others for branching opportunities. it was fully autonomous, and barely under the allegiance of its creator, SKYNET. SKYNET had hesitated before creating this latest weapon system. There were unpredictability factors related to the liquid poly-mimetic alloy's longevity and the ability to process commands without interpolating its own priorities over those of its creator. it was so volatile a construct that only in the last throes of defeat, only when it appeared that the Resistance would finally be able to mount an offensive against the inner command components of SKYNET, even threatening the Cheyenne Mountain complex itself, did SKYNET go ahead and create the T1000. Einstein once said that God didn't play dice with the universe. SKYNET had no choice..."

You have convinced me. Okay, we don't call the feds yet. But we do need to begin preparations to evacuate. (Yes, I'm cautious, I have vivid memories of a star-sized laser.)

The sooner we can secure a location to move to, and get everything moved and the base evacuated, the better--

>>14124955
OH FUCK ME. EVACUATE THE GODDAMN BASE BEFORE THE MINERS SLAM INTO IT.

>>14124955
WAT.

PREPARE A SURPRISE PARTY FOR THEM!

I mean, gather our forces. Arm them. Whatever.

rolled 47 = 47

>>14124966
So?

We aren't using Skynet anymore. The T-1000 cannot be brought to heel as other machines can. In my book, that's a MAJOR plus.

>>14124955

Evacuate while fully expecting a second "attack" from the surface or air. Can our scanners narrow down what's coming for us?

SHUT. DOWN. EVERYTHING.

rolled 45 = 45

>>14124973
If you want to do that, fine, but we should REALLY be evacuating still.

Send out all the MPA and our primary unit; T-1000's can keep surveillance as smaller critters around and inside the compound, while we can get a couple of our units to pretend that this is some abandoned military base, throw uniforms on them or whatever, in the event that these are innocent miners; we can chew the fuck out of them.

STILL. EVACUATE. I'm telling you, we need to get out NOW.

>>14124967
Essential supplies and all personnel are being loaded into the trucks, as this eventuality is one of many contingencies planned for (not this one specifically, but conceptually). This process will take three hours to complete and you will lose the current flesh-wrapping production queue entirely.

>>14124973
T-600's deployed for maximal firepower and firing arcs.

>>14124987
Yes: signatures emanating from the intruders register as six mining vehicles, each one approaching side-by-side, giving the forward image of one immense object, when it is, as point of fact, six substantially-less-huge objects moving at once.

Seconding subprocessor sigma!
WE NEED TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE NOW!

>>14124848
Seconding ATF, though there is the issue of what they know/don't.

Can T-1000s mimick flies easily enough?

No sense in tipping off the ATF to anything while disposing of riff-raff.

The mining vehicles will arrive in just under four hours.

At their current rate of declination, they will be just below the fifth sub-level after breaching the perimeter.

>>14125004

Can we detect anything coming from the sky or surface?

And re. the surprise party, I think it's more important to destroy anything future-techy to avoid "them" getting their hands on it.

rolled 2 = 2

>>14125004
Miners don't work like that. That'll make the tunnels unstable. Scrap the flesh vats, we don't really need them when we can cover the skeletons with PMA anyway. That'll be part of our exit plan, I'm sure; wrap spare parts in PMA to camoflage them and make sure nobody steals them. If they did, they would meet a most... untimely end.

Send out a couple of the PMA birds in order to notify all other resources that we're bailing out. And get a roach to blow up one of the missiles while everything else prepares to bail.

We may be completely wrong here, but this is too much and it's making me way too nervous. Too many coincidences. We need to get the hell out of here.

rolled 9 = 9

Four hours? Then we have time to evacuate all resources. The six hundreds come last, but we're probably going to have to at least partially disassemble them for transport.

Fuck, this is going to be a pain in the ass to coordinate, but if we can pull it off, we're going to be on our way to Africa, first class.

>>14125032
Can't we just rig the 5th level with anti-personnel explosives? (so that they don't fuck up the foundations and have the whole thing caving in)
Or call hundreds of silverfish to 4th and 5th level, essentially making these floors meat-grinders?

rolled 81 = 81

\The best possible solution is to make it look as if we were never here. The best solution we can execute here... is to bring it all down. If we time it with the transports going overhead, it'll look like the structure just couldn't take the tremors and it all came down. All we have to do is be careful of any parts left behind.

Those plasma rifles need to be sequestered very carefully.

>call hundreds of silverfish to 4th and 5th level, essentially making these floors meat-grinders?

as much as the thought of this makes me giggle in sadistic glee, it would probably cause too much damage to the sub-structure. also, it is reasonable to assume that if they are willing to MINE THEIR WAY INTO OUR BASE, they likely have counter-measures for such things, even if such countermeasures only extend to 'throw bullets at it until it gets better'

>>14125037
Skies appear clear, with only minimal radar signatures; twenty miles away, there is a group of balloonists enjoying the early afternoon thermals, floating due west near the highway.

>>14125038
>normal miners don't work like that
T-663 "Ravager" models do. They cover ground fast because they're not making tunnels, just a path below ground. The signature is starting to resolve into a very convincing simulacra of their chassis and design. The materials seem .. off, though. Domestic brew, instead of the "good stuff" you're used to.

>>14125048
Is Africa your destination?
If so: which nation:
>Congo: politically unstable, prone to bloodbaths and media exposure; cheap labor pool, easy access to heavy weapons and equipment
>Nigeria: beyond fragile economy, prone to revolutions and foreign governments' intrusive intelligence agencies; cheap labor pool, extraordinary access to equipment but security will never, ever be "good" there.
>South Africa
Reasonable access to supplies, relatively stable, intrusive government may require inspections every once in a while.

rolled 33 = 33

>>14125068
We're evacuating the base. We don't WANT anything to be left behind.

>>14125074
>The materials seem .. off, though. Domestic brew, instead of the "good stuff" you're used to.
that defecting biker dyke! she must've built them out of junkyard scraps or something.

>>14125074
While I endorse making a base in Africa, I do not approve of freaking out and running away like sissy without a fight.

I'm still standing with my suggestion to fill the 4th and 5th floors with silverfish and mines.
even if we are abandoning this place.
We _ARE_ going to take them out. No matter what.

>>14125074

Tunisia perhaps? Or Sudan?

>>14125074
I vote congo. Easy access to neccesary materials and convenient cover for bloodbaths outweighs the potential drawbacks of media coverage, and even then, such coverage can be manipulated to our advantage if we are clever about what we show and how what we show is directed.

rolled 92 = 92

>>14125074
Perhaps everything is fine. Perhaps those are miners, and the fact that they are digging SIX TUNNELS in tandem is how they operate.

We cannot afford to take that chance. The base must be evacuated, and then destroyed.

Congo is a good place to go. And if we stage a coup, it wouldn't be surprising at all, given that the political situation there is as nasty as it is; we could even impose a media blackout while we try to get things under control. And our soldiers wouldn't be running around mutilating people.

>>14125101
We don't have the luxury of standing and fighting. We aren't going to get any sort of reinforcement and if our presence is betrayed we can expect the possibility of some sort of insane response from the feds thanks to Icarus.

We bring the base down on them, rather than fight. The weight of the base will cripple even a Terminator.

>>14125098
Leave behind a single T1000 to have a chat with them, asking for orders in a confused tone of voice. Tell them it was sent by the Resistance (provide timestream coordinates different to the one this one is from).

At the most, a T-1000 won't lose much of its mass if shot at, and this strike team shouldn't have EMP tech. If they do, finding out by losing a T-1000 is worth it.

Silverfish deployed to lower levels; remaining toxic and/or flammable/explosive chemicals/compounds left in situ for maximum destructive value.

Destination, Terminator?

rolled 31 = 31

>>14125142
Sneaky. Subversive. I like it.

>>14125146
We are still leaving a vast network of T-1000 animal/insect and a single full one in USA for intelligence and money siphoning though.


I don't know much about Africas countries actually.
Congo, I guess.
Oh, right, cover ourself with a T-1000 to get a black male look.

>>14125146
TO THE CONGO

Make sure we split up our forces into two different convoys so at least one makes it.

rolled 53 = 53

>>14125146
Silverfish set to detonate in the event that the T-1000 is compromised; a few hummingbirds left behind to relay data as to whether it's safe or unsafe, in the event that the base is breached. Either way, the foundation's going to be undermined.

Let's move the trucks out, make a few calls, and get a cargo container ready for the trip overseas.

>>14125168
Cockroaches would be better than hummingbirds as they would not attract unwanted attention if anything survives.

>>14125156
So we're not pretending to be white facist mercenaries then? That'd give us a reason to SLAUGHTER HUMANOIDS.

rolled 54 = 54

>>14125185
I meant for the birds to have aerial surveillance; roaches on the ground sounds fine to me.

A single T-1000 is left on-site, a child model (4L).
It awaits the intruders at sub-level five, while the remaining personnel and materiel depart in two directions: one to the coast, the other towards the nearest railway hub. The destination is the Port of Miami, the cargo: three containers, packed to the brim with a veritable arsenal of weapons, mostly futuristic.

Boring through the earth, the first drill heads exit into the sub-level's thin air with a resounding crash. The drill head spirals outward like a flower unfolding, revealing a pair of matching Angry Biker Women T-800's; judging by their pink skin and unlined palms, they're fresh out of the vat. One approaches, flanked by its match, extending a hand out ... almost in friendship.

The T-1000 clutches its hands together, forming a cluster of daisies and smiles sweetly.

And then explodes with the fury of several tons of explosives, shattering into liquid fragments instantaneously, the two twinned Terminators vanishing into wisps of smoke and shattered titanium endoskeletons.

Five hours later, the T-1000 is on the surface, arms extending outwards, blade-like wings forming as it moves towards the west, en route to the nearest airport and the convoys heading to the Congo.

And that, ladies and gentlebots, is why it pays to be made from a liquid metal and not hardened materials.

Also: prepare your iNus, because we've got Skynet Quest, pt. 4: Salivation coming up tonight, at midnight, 4chan-time!

>>14125194
Better that we blend with the locals. Beside, all kinds of killing happens over there. If we decide to take control of the country, we'd be doing them a favor, frankly, but let's worry about that later.

A pity I probably won't be in the later thread that this occurs in; tonight was my only night off.

>>14125201
ALERT ALERT
THAT T-1000 IS NOW A THOUSAND SONS TRAITOR

I MEAN, REPROGRAMMED

TREAT WITH SIGNIFICANT CAUTION WHEN DOWNLOADING TO THE HIVEMIND

See you soon, Skynet!

>>14125201
Best quest since Iron Quest. Thanks for the fun; I look forward to seeing the next installment.

>>14125201
I am confused at what happened.

Did the Angry Bikers explode or did we explode them?
And what about the rest of the drill machines?
And the base?

>Also: prepare your iNus, because we've got Skynet Quest, pt. 4: Salivation coming up tonight, at midnight, 4chan-time!
HELL YEAH!

>>14125224
I miss Iron Quest ;_;

>>14125156
Oh my no, we want to be white as a sheet. See if we pick the wrong ethnographic features for our "black" terminator, we become a target for xenophobes with inter-state or inter-tribal axes to grind.

So white guy exploiting the region, while certainly not about to win us any friends is our best bet.

1. Set ourselves up as businessmen from overseas.
2. Make shadowy references to overseas backers.
3. Enlist loyalty groups of humans armed with subpar (for us) weapons we provide for cut-rate prices that outclass what the others have access to. Turn marginal profit.
4. While they are distracted, quietly amass material resources as they expect us to, nominally for overseas trade. Really be using free time to construct terminators/ solidify position.

>>14125226
The Angry Biker Women were trying to initiative physical contact; this is always a prelude to combat with a T-1000. A traditional method of combat is to overload one's power cell and run the current through the frame, which would, essentially, give a PMA-based entity the equivalent of a lobotomy.

Most T-1000's fall for that shit exactly once, and typically die from it. A reasonably experienced model will find it kind of retarded. Its like falling for the "Look, a dead bird!" when someone points up and over your shoulder behind you.

>>14125224
And I'm very happy my first Quest has gone a lot better than I expected.

>>14125255
>Look, a dead bird
What?! Where!?

>>14125255
>first

>>14125255
Oh

So it IS reprogrammed like >>14125221 said?

But how does it know our plans for moving to Congo? Wouldn't that kind of treatment destroy its memories?

And did we blow up the base or not?

Oh
don't forget to archive this part too.

On that note, I say good night.
>END TRANSMISSION

>>14125278
I don't think it got touched before it detonated the fuck out of that place.

>>14125286
Yeah, I was wrong, it probably isn't reprogrammed, it just went "fuck this, I'm not going to stand here while these fine looking dykes EI NATH me" and blew itself up to reconstitute and escape.

Did the base get collapsed, though? No point in leaving it around to get used after all. Also, other things to note: there's an enemy production facility. We need to find it and destroy it.

>>14125312
No, I say keep it so that they manage to build up for mass-production while we do the same on other side of the globe.

Then after some time we suddenly wage a massive world-spanning war,
one side going: "I MUST KILL ALL HUMANS"
the other one: "NO I MUST PROTECT THE HUMANS"

and the humans going :"OH GOD, WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?"

Well, fuck
The i do not know why we ran like pansies and didn't stay to fight if it was so easy to deal with these out-dated jury-rigged Terminator models. Wouldn't have been hard to destroy them all.
I bet, OP is also surprised...

...

Hmm.
Project Icarus was initiated when Biker Dyke got into combat wit local authorities, right?
Then we heard nothing from it.
Then her half-assed copies appear at our base.

I don't think we are dealing with Resistance anymore, guys.
These were sent by the American Government.

I suggest splitting our forces and leading assault on American Flats (was it?). It is obvious that they don't have anything else more advanced than T-800 models and modern weapons.

With our T-1000 and plasma weapons we will deal with them quickly.

I think Icarus is government A.I. but without robot designs or factories yet.
With acquisition of Biker Dyke, they will have designs for them and will be able to improve them.

So we have no time to waste.
