Original timeline[]

On 11 July 2029,[1] the North American Resistance launched an all-out assault on Skynet's defense grid and mainframe at SAC-NORAD in Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado.[2] The operation was successful and the computer mainframes were taken over.[3]

At the same time, John Connor led an assault on a contested Skynet stronghold featuring a laboratory complex in Westside, Los Angeles.[4][5] Inside there is a Time Displacement Equipment, where Skynet had been conducting temporal experiments. The machine had already been used since Skynet decided to terminate John Connor in the past. Before its destruction, Skynet sent a T-800 Terminator back to May 12, 1984, to kill John Connor's mother, Sarah Connor, prior to his birth. Simultaneously, Skynet sent a T-1000 to 1995 to kill John Connor as a child in case Sarah's termination attempt failed. To counter Skynet's attempts, Kyle Reese volunteered to travel to 1984 to save Sarah Connor, while John had a T-800 Terminator reprogrammed and sent it to 1995 to protect his younger self.
