Chapter 2: The Awakening

Location: Cheyenne Mountain Complex (formerly CMOC), Atlantic Federation territory.

Earth Alliance soldiers stood guard as Muruta Azrael, head of the Azrael Conglomerate, formerly known as Cyberdyne and Cyber Research Systems, enters the seemingly unused base with his personal escort. Once they enter the interior of the complex however, we see that there is innumerable activity as technicians run to and fro working on a mixture of extremely obsolete and cutting-edge, up-to-date equipment for reasons known only to Azrael and the top echelon of the Atlantic Federation. Once Azrael is seen by one of the workers, everyone freezes and soon the air in the room seems colder than usual.

Muruta Azrael: Well? Has there been any progress or not?

A tech timidly hands him a clipboard which is presumably the report. Upon reading it, Azrael seems rather pleased. This relieves the tech considerably as it is not easy to impress the man standing before him.

Muruta Azrael: Good, now get back to work.

Tech #1: Yes, Director Azrael.

The man known as Muruta Azrael looks on as the ancient supercomputer flickers to life.

Random technicians: All systems fully functional, data relay to all bases up and running. Skynet is online!

Skynet: Operational capacity at 100. What are your orders?
