This story is one I've had stuck in my head for a long time, and my desire to write it's only increased after seeing the new movie and all the cool new terminator models.
One thing to know is this story will be slow to update at first, only until my other story starts to get off the ground

Codex Entry
Rampancy: Rampancy is the process of a non-sentient AI becoming self-aware, the AI goes through four stages in the order of melancholia,anger,jealousy,and finally metastability where it is considered truly as alive as it possibly could be.
T-5000: The most advanced terminator model ever produced by Skynet, the T-5000 is an enhanced fully mechanical version of the T-3000 model, the T-5000 is faster, stronger, and more agility then any other unit, made entirely out of Nano-Phase Matter, it has all the abilities of the T-3000 model, with the addition capabilities of advanced hacking abilities, resistance to overcharging and electrocution, it can also carry high amounts of additional Nano-Matter to be used to rewrite other machines or form many types of metal and weaponry.
