I'm not going to muddy the waters by contacting SKYNET, but try telling it that the status of mission is complete, and mission parameters require that you receive updates on Redclear and that you are ready to initiate Redclear.

Tell it that under the future SKYNET protocols, your T model designation is authorized to activate Redclear, and use a "fake" authorization phrase.

Let's push this badboy along.

I have a theory that maybe we are to tell SkyNet that Anna Kies has escaped, and that might lead us to something. I shall read through the past posts to see if I might be correct.

Ok well I'm not entirely sure what to do. Is it just me or does it feel like we are going around in circles?

I have wanted to email SkyNet but I'm not sure I want to jump in to this and add confusion, or if I could add clarity. Who knows. And hell, I don't really want to be on SkyNet's radar thanks.

But my suggestion to the community at large is that we should be unified on the message we send it. If she is dead, we all say she is alive; if she is alive, we all say she is dead. I think that will stand a better chance of provoking it to do something and buy us a vowel as to the next step, than a bunch of haphazard responses saying one thing then another.

Again thats just my thought on this.

The Resistance has told us to purposely confuse SkyNet, in part by telling it that Anna Kies *is* dead.

She says in her message that she knew of a way to stop these things... perhaps she did? Perhaps she had a portable EMP lying around? Maybe that's why the video suddenly cut abruptly even though the Terminator wasn't targeting the cameraman?

actually that's a good point I hadn't considered... the blair witch effect - for some reason I was considering camera = Anna, but we know 'Freddy' was operating the camera. Anna was obviously elsewhere, which would also explain why the T moved on after looking at the camera. So what did 'Freddy' do, if anything?

As you said, the video cut short quickly. What if there was a small EMP? Deactivate the T and the camera. Do we know if Enitech had reason to believe the murderer was a machine? Can't remember the details... I mean, they know nothing about the cybernetic organisms, right? (apart from whatever meta-info people passed on from the movies/tv show, which they by nature shouldn't recognize to exist).

ie - is there an in-game way Enitech might believe their stalker is a machine? If so, there's a good possibility Anna was prepared for self-defense with some small mobile EMP.

Man, Enitech is just ASKING to be nuked...
