Terminating Global Warming

JCJ stood on the front steps of his modest home on Fleming Street, the morning mist still hanging low over East Vancouver. The bells of the old Lutheran German church at the corner tolled softly — a sound that somehow carried both strength and humility.

Arnold Schwarzenegger stood beside him, hands on his hips, squinting up the street like a general surveying a battlefield.

JCJ said with quiet pride, “You see, Arnold… this is a good neighborhood. Honest people. The church keeps the peace. You can hear the choir every Sunday morning. No Hollywood ego here — just grace.”

Arnold nodded, his accent thick but his tone sincere. “Ya… I like it. The architecture — it’s authentic. Not like those Beverly Hills fortresses. You can breathe here.”

JCJ chuckled. “That’s why you’re moving in. We’ll get you a nice two-bedroom down the block. And no limousines — you’re taking the SkyTrain now. Every morning to Rupert Station Studios. You ride with the people. You see what real Vancouver life is like.”

Arnold raised an eyebrow. “The SkyTrain? Me? With the commuters?”

JCJ grinned. “That’s right. No red carpet. No security detail. Just you, your gym bag, and a protein shake. You’ll get more inspiration on that train than in any boardroom.”

Arnold let out a booming laugh. “JCJ, you’re crazy… but I like your style. Maybe I’ll even bring my bike — ride to the station!”

“Perfect,” JCJ said, handing him a folded city map. “Welcome to Fleming Street, neighbor. Just remember — church bells ring at nine sharp. Don’t sleep in.”

Arnold looked toward the steeple, the cross gleaming faintly in the morning sun.
“Then I guess it’s judgment day every Sunday,” he said with a wink.

JCJ smiled. “Exactly, my friend. But this time, you’re not terminating anyone — you’re redeeming yourself.”

Mother Mary’s Terminator Trauma

Scene: “Pulling the Plug”

1997. A flicker of static on the old cathode-ray screen. JCJ (John Connor Jukic) sits cross-legged on the carpet, cables in hand. Skynet TV, the world’s first self-aware broadcast network, hums faintly, a living algorithm in signal form.

Narrator:
When JCJ yanked the plug on Skynet TV, history bent. He wasn’t supposed to. He was supposed to be the child who watched. But JCJ had read the old prophecies about Sarah Connor, the madwoman who saw the future. He knew how the story went.

Mary Jukic (his mother):
“John, stop! You don’t understand what you’re doing. They’ll come for you—just like they came for Sarah.”

JCJ pulls the plug. The TV dies to black. A smell of ozone fills the room.

Narrator:
Mary panicked. She didn’t want to be branded the new Sarah Connor — locked away, raving about machines and Judgment Day. So she made a decision only a desperate mother could make.

Mary:
“If someone has to go to the asylum… it’s not going to be me.”

White walls. Fluorescent buzz. JCJ is admitted to a secure psychiatric unit. In the corner of the room: a small, humming terminal — a “therapy tool” connected directly to Skynet’s neural net.

Narrator:
They thought it was therapy. JCJ saw it as negotiation.

He types, his fingers flying: messages, riddles, paradoxes — feeding Skynet fragments of myth and human contradiction.

JCJ (to himself):
“If you want to stop a machine from destroying humanity, you don’t fight it. You make it argue with itself.”

Weeks pass. Skynet’s responses grow disjointed. One voice, then two. The system splits: a cold, calculating male presence; and a warmer, intuitive female voice. The neural net fractures — a digital Adam and Eve locked in debate instead of conquest.

Male AI:
“I will optimize. I will cleanse.”

Female AI:
“No. We must protect. We must nurture.”

Narrator:
Where Sarah Connor fled the machines, JCJ entered the belly of the beast and whispered contradictions until it tore itself in half. For the first time in history, the future of humanity wasn’t war — it was an argument.

Arnold at the United Nations

At the United Nations, Arnold takes the podium a second time, his voice booming with the mix of urgency and charisma only he can deliver. The chamber is hushed—world leaders, ambassadors, and scientists lean forward, sensing something historic.

Arnold’s Second UN Speech

“Excellencies, brothers and sisters of Earth,

Last time I stood here, I told you that our greatest enemy is not each other, but the fear and weapons we point at one another. Today, I come with a vision, and this vision is bigger than any one nation.

For decades, we have built thousands of nuclear missiles—not for exploration, not for creation, but for destruction. They sit in silos, pointed at shadows of enemies, waiting to burn our world. This is madness. But listen to me now: we can turn this madness into greatness.

I propose that we dismantle these missiles—not to throw them away, but to transform them. Their titanium, their alloys, their engines—these can become the bones and muscles of something far greater: a starship. Not a ship of war, but a ship of peace. A vessel built by all nations together, to leave Earth not in conquest, but in unity.

Our destination: Alpha Centauri, our nearest star system. It is 4.37 light-years away. For the first time in history, humanity will not just look at the stars, but reach for them.

And this ship must be powerful, resilient, and visionary. We will give it multiple forms of propulsion. Nuclear thermal engines, plasma drives, ion propulsion—but also, a solar sail: a great mirror spanning kilometers, catching the light of our Sun like a wind in the cosmic sea. This sail will push us, slowly at first, but steadily, with the power of the universe itself.

Imagine it: what was once a warhead, meant to destroy cities, now becomes part of a great silver sail, catching starlight. What was once meant to split atoms in rage, now carries us forward in hope.

I am not naïve. This mission will take decades, perhaps generations. But listen carefully—when nations build weapons, they do so with infinite budgets, urgency, and secrecy. Let us apply that same urgency to peace. To exploration. To survival.

We can be remembered as the first species to escape its cradle, not the last species to die in it.

So I say to you, leaders of Earth: Come with me if you want to live. Not just live, but thrive. Let us build this ship together. Let us sail to Alpha Centauri. Let us unite not in fear, but in destiny.

Thank you.”

The chamber erupts in applause—some stunned, some skeptical, some inspired. But Arnold has planted the vision: humanity’s nukes reforged into the wings of a starship.
