What has been taken

...2 hours later...

...The Resistance base...

"Does anyone have a good idea why Skynet attacked?" John asks.

"We do not know, sir," Travis McKaw said.

"Sir," Elizabeth said. "I think we all know why."

Travis fiddled with his boots.

"Then what really is it?" John asks.

"T-11," Roberts said.  "Rumors say he was a shell and soulless. Perfect for Skynet to move into."

"Which he is  not," Washman said.

"I have not heard of these rumors," John said. "Where is T-11?"

"Skynet's slaves took him," Elizabeth said.

"I fired and I got the scar to prove they fired back!" Roberts said.

"This is new from them," John said.  "They know our base. We have to move our HQ underground," He looks around. "Did I just hear Skynet came back for a model it had left behind?"

"Yes," Elizabeth said.

"Skynet cannot make up its mind," John said.

"Yes," Most of the members agreed.

"I told T-11 about the rumors and I am afraid he knew this would happen,"

"And it did not occur to you that I should know about this before?" John asks.

"They are rumors, Connor," McKaw said. "They are a grain of sand."

"I volunteer to go back for T-11," Roberts said.

Robert's dear pals; Stewart,Kent,and Britchardson all stare in shock while everyone else is mostly finding it hard to believe.

"But he already might be Skynet," McKaw said.  "There is nothing we could do for him."

"Excuse me, but you don't know Tyler!" Washman said.

"Tyler who?" McKaw said. "We are talking about T-11 not a man."

"I call him Tyler, or, Ty," Washman said. "He is one of us in more ways than one. He's flawed, he's  machine, and very human."

"But we all call him T-11," McKaw said. "What does that say about him going by a human name and blending into our society?"

Washman bit his lip furrowing his eyebrows towards McKaw.

"Ty is new," Washman said. "And he sucks at it. He will get better."

"T-1 will never get better if he is already Skynet," McKaw points out.

"You are both right," John said. "There is a man inside the machine. I once learned a Terminator can learn the values of a human life."

"Maybe T-11 is not all lost," Doctor Brown said.

Everyone faces towards Doctor Brown.

"What do you mean, Doctor?" John asks.

"I made a virus for T-11," Doctor Brown said. "A virus that keeps his personality safe if something or someone put a new file to another machine within his CPU. This virus prevents  anyone from truly taking him over and changing his person."

"That's my boy," Washman said, earning strange glances from those around him. "I, um, meant pal."

"We can use this opportunity to see who else Skynet has," John said. Everyone's attention has now fixated on John Connor not  Doctor Brown. "Not only the other survivors but the weaknesses these new Terminators have. We can use all that we can get our hands on," He looks around the determined members. "Who wants to blow Skynet's butt in the air?"
