[QUOTE="Vaslov, post: 9647361, member: 37953"] 1) The kickoff to the series Skynet started to make cyborgs. The human theory is that these were made so Skynet could send in spies. Maybe the real Skynet long term goal was to create something that could be Skynet and live in a human society as they could pass for human. In time these cyborgs get so good at it Skynet can copy itself and help humanity rebuild. Building on a thought upthread where Skynet decides having more points of view beyond itself is more helpful that being alone. As this is in the age of the war just have the cyborgs getting better and better, but some of the personalities are getting less and less "kill humans" and more and more "fit in somehow". 2) Time travel has been there since the beginning. Time travel is probably my least favorite trope so I am not a fan of this one. Hopefully it gives someone a good idea. No matter what happens there will always be a threat if that something can go back in time and change it again. The long term goal is to answer "How to make time travel impossible?". As this is all made up scifi rules so let your imagination wander. Maybe it only works when the earth is a certain distance from the center of the galaxy (i.e. can only happen for 5 more years and/or from certain locations). Maybe it's flooding the limited tunnel that allows for time travel with trash/noise. What ever it is Skynet just is buying time to keep the upity monkeys from time traveling and removing it. 3) What if Skynet has been a patsy for some other intelligence that wanted man out of the way?
