Timeline (Terminator: Reborn)

The Arrival

 * Saturday, May 12, 1984: The Terminator arrives nude within a spherical time bubble, the intense energy of which causes miniature electric storms. Ignoring a frightened construction worker who witnesses the Terminator arriving seemingly out of thin air, the T-1000 makes its way into the city: Los Angeles, California. The home of a young, naïve waitress named Sarah Connor…


 * The T-1000 encounters three reckless punks screwing around at night, and, after evaluating their clothing sizes and parroting their speech vocabulary, demands one of them to give up his clothes. When the punks angrily refuse, the T-1000 punches one of them right through the chest in a bloody splatter, knocking aside the second, and then approaches the terrified third punk, who begins to remove his clothes…


 * In another area of town, a similar time displacement bubble regurgitates another nude Terminator in a dirty alleyway. Like the Terminator, her arrival is not a painful experience, and she steals the pants off of a drunken bum. Just then a police car spots her and, thinking she is a mugger, the driver pursues her. She manages to hide inside a closed shopping mall, where she acquires a trench coat, shoes and shirt, and steals a shotgun from the abandoned squad car. Slipping into the streets, calmly walking down a sidewalk as police forces drive past, she blends in the crowd and makes her way to a phone booth. Skimming through the pages, she pauses on the name CONNOR.
