In the nearby future of Earth....

2030 AD: Littleton Co. U.S.A. Skynet core

A disembodied voice spoke in the darkened room. A voice that when spoken sounded from everywhere and nowhere at once. "The target has been destoryed?"

"Affirmitive." Came the crisp metallic response of the T-182 Cyberdine Class Skynet model Hunter Killer. The Terminator T-182

A heartbeat passed before the disembodied voice spoke again. "Scans of hardware indiecate that the target has not been destoryed, replay software version T1824456F" Skynet then plugged the Terminator into a screen and replayed everything, from the first encounter with the woman, "Target is Identifted as one Sian Ching, known by callsign, Invisible Girl. Subject escaped experimantation at approximately 2300 hours Mountain Standard Time, 2 March." The voice said as the replay of the cyborgs mission replayed on the nearby screen.

Then came the scene of the Cyborg throwing the woman into the cement wall, and her breaking through it, the machine followed to the hole in the wall, but found nothing below safe for some odd fog near the sewer great two floors below. Skynet spoke again. "Fog idicates broken time field datastream." A heartbeat passed. "New mission has been preset, setting Read Only Mode to on." Another heartbeat passed before Skynet asked. "What is your mission?"

"To Terminate subject known as Sian Ching at all costs." Came the curt response.

"Secondary mission parameters uploaded. Should Sian Ching come to you without fighting she is to be alive and unhurt. Self termination is granted when mission has been comprimised, self distruct is granted to avoid further comprimizing Skynet." Replied Skynet before a ball of fog appeared. "Mission is a go, begin mission at approximately two point three hours after disappearance of subject." The Terminator stepped into the fog and disappeared from the Skynet mission briefing room.

Atlantis, 2009, 4 March

"OK, so we get more information, act friendly doing it and who knows learn something about she herself" John said before a startled shout drew their attention. "What is it?"

"Take a look for yourself." Carson said pointing to the screen. On it was a full xray scan of the woman in the isolation room. the only thing not showing up was her back bone. Everything else was there, all her bones, her left arm mangled. Other then no backbone, the woman was a human being alright, though gentically altered for certain.

"What are we seeing?" John asked, before rthe backbone appeared, pink against the silvery whiteness of the rest of the bones in the xray. "What is that?"

"Metal, the woman has a steel backbone intergrated with her body, either that or the backbone itself, and all its many pieces had been coated with a steel alloy not too long ago." Carson said, "It scrambled the machine when it first tried to scan her for injuries when she was asleep, now that she is up though."

"More questions then answers." John said.

"Aye, how did she get a metal bone in her body?" Carson asked.

"Are you telling me that this woman is a cyborg of some kind?" Woosley asked. If the woman they were holding in the isolation room was a deadly robot made to pass off as human they were in trouble.

"No, only her backbone is metal, which explains of how she did not fold under the metal and rock when she went through it. If that is what happened. Everything else of her body is organic. Heart, lungs, skin, everything is as a normal human would have, the only part different is just her backbone, none of her back ribs as you can see are metal, they just attach to it somehow." Carson explained pointing to where the metal joined the normal bone.

"So you are saying a car accident." John surmised

"Possible, but saying she was genetically enhanced at birth is unlikely." Carson said.

"So, we talk and act normal then, find out what we can, then see what happens." John said, "Sounds good to me. lets get to it." John turned and reetered the isolation room. The woman reamined on the bed, sheh adn't moved, her arm had been manged in the fight with the T-182. "So, should we believe your words about this Terminator guy, can you tell us more about them? Along with your name." He said.

The woman looked at Sheppard. He seemed trusting enough. same with the woman, Teyla. "My name is Sian Ching." she said before going into a little detail, not a lot, but enough to get the point across. The T-182 was the newst model of Terminators as the Hunter Killer Cyborgs have been dubbed. Blending in with humans so well, and then killing them. She then explained what she remembered before waking up where she was.

"Considering a building wall made of cement and steel had broken against your body when you were thrown through it, didn't you feel pain?" John asked.

"Some, maybe a sharp jab, but because of what Skynet had done to me before I woke up here, I only feel dizzy and tired. My arm however, is a differnet story." She looked to her arm, which had been mangled by the T-182 before he threw her through the wall and backwards in time.

"Dr Beckett fixed that for you, he said your arm had been cut and in a few places the bone broken." Teyla said.

"He is correct on that assement" Sian said in response.

"What is this Skynet? and why were they doing gentics to you? Something important no doubt" John said, Rodeny would love to hear this.

"Skynet is doing human gentical research in terms of disgusing its termination machines to look and blend in with humans, the first few had rubber skin, we could tell them off right away. The newer models though, not as easy." Sian explained.

"And yourself? Why a steel backbone?" John asked confused, what would make a robot building mega corporation operate on humans?

"Injured when taken by a Mass Harvestor." Sian said "The mass harvestor picked me up and pulverized my back, when I arrived at one of Skynets proccessing centers I was instead taken directly to the medical labs and then operated on, even tried to brainwash me." She explained.

"That doesn't make much sense, why exactly did this Skynet try to brainwash you?" John asked.

"To become a killer, like the Terminators, unlike Terminators humans need food, and sleep. And we can think on our own" Sian answered. "A single Terminator can run up to one hundred and twenty years on a single powercell. They also cannot self terminate. However they can do so when a mission is completed. Or if they have been found out."

"I'm guessing the brainwashing didn't work?" John surmised.

"You are correct. Of the group I was witrh, there were two others, Snatcher, and Thief. Both of them I consider my siblings. we all fled from our ggroup because we faked it just long enough to act as a killer like a Terminator, but then we fled. I do not know if Thief or Snatcher survived the Terminators appearance." Sian said.

Johns radio went off. "Sheppard here go ahead." He said.

"Sir, you are going to want to get up here, we got trouble. You really need to see this." Came Chucks voice, he sounded nervous.

"What is it?" John asked starting to wonder if waking up was a good idea

"A robot, from what McKay can translate, its looking for that woman." Chuck responded, "Better get up here the thing is huge!"

"On my way." John got off his radio, "Can you stay with her?" He asked Teyla, who nodded.

"I will be fine John, go see what it is Chuck wants you for." She said. Sian was safe with Teyla in the room, heck anyone was safe with Teyla around Even Ford was when they finally found him, stealing a Dart and flying out of the ship before it blew, worked like a charm. Or so he said, it was only Teyla that trusted him too at the time, and got him through the problems. John nodded and took off for the gateroom.
