1. HQ

The future, or near future, of another time and place was a desolate one, ravaged by a war between man and machine. Humans from all corners of the world joined together to form the Resistance. The enemy was a supercomputer AI called Skynet.

The human race would come to be led by a man by the name of John Connor. He had covertly been killed, but that world was fortunate to, unknowingly by most, receive another John Connor from another reality.

Skynet created many ways to kill humans. One was the Terminator, a skeletal humanoid type of Hunter-Killer, or HK, designed to terminate other life forms. Their primary goal was to wipe out the remains of humans after Judgement Day, the day the machine set the world on fire with nukes. However, perhaps its greatest weapon was the time displacement equipment, TDE.

The TDE would be converted to an RDE, reality displacement equipment, by the Rev-9i, a Terminator from an alternate reality.

A Resistance fighter and good friend of John, Quin Uno, had inadvertently merged with a Terminator. He only had a rough idea of how they merged, being completely human before trying to destroy a Terminator in the process of traveling via the RDE. Instead of destroying the cyborg, he found himself standing alone in the middle of nowhere with a grenade ready to go off. It only took him moments to dispose of the explosive and realize what he'd become.

For about a month, Quin, under the assumed identity of the Terminator he intended to stop, had to assist three Rev-9is in a plan to construct another RDE. When the opportunity to get away came, he fled and tracked down another John Connor.

Together, they were able to destroy the Rev-9is, secure the RDE and return to Quin's reality. To convince John to come with him, he killed John's wife, Kate, assuring John he could still be with her only if he came along.

Later, in the command center of the Resistance's HQ, Quin looked over a map of the area displaying the location of friendly and enemy forces.

A female came over. "You can go now, Sir," she said. "I've got this."

Quin wasn't tired at all. The Terminator part of him kept him going. He could stay at his post all day and all night without feeling the least bit of fatigue. Staying in wasn't his style, but it was much safer for him. Avoiding the battlefield kept him out of any sniper's sight who'd mistake him for a Terminator in their scope, and not having to pass through any checkpoint with a dog kept him under the radar of suspicion. It was with some reluctance, he was forced to take a desk job.
