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.

Force Multiplier: One

JCJ sits in his dimly lit room, eyes fixed on the flickering screen, the digital world he’s shaped with his Terminator avatars unfolding before him. Each avatar, a perfect replica, designed for precision and strength, a true force multiplier. “One man can become an army,” he murmurs to himself, as the avatars train and fight in unison. The thought lingers—how the technology has made him more than just a man, but a symbol of power, of resistance.

But for all the power he wields, there’s an emptiness in his heart. The weight of the mission, the cold precision of it, often leaves him yearning for something more—something human, something real.

His thoughts drift to Nelly, his old square dance partner, the one who had once laughed with him, shared in the joy of movement and rhythm. “My female face of God,” he thinks of her fondly. The memory of her smile, her voice, echoes in his mind like a soft melody, the only thing that calms the storm inside him. She was the warmth he needed, the balance to the cold steel of his avatars.

He prays every day that she will break through the walls he’s built around himself. That somehow, with her help, he can find the peace he’s longed for. The hope is faint, but it’s there, like a flickering light in the darkness.

“Help me, Nelly,” he whispers, though he knows the distance between them is vast. Still, there’s a part of him that believes in the power of her spirit, in the connection they once shared, and in the possibility that she could be the key to his salvation.

His Terminator avatars are many, but it’s the human connection that he’s come to realize is what he truly needs.

Terminator & Revelation

James Cameron leans back in his chair, staring at the flickering light of a projector playing The Terminator behind him. The cold, mechanical glow of the T-800’s red eyes pierces the darkness like an unholy prophecy. He exhales, tapping his fingers together, before finally speaking.

“You ever read Revelation 19?” he asks, his voice low, almost confessional. “It talks about a rider on a white horse, eyes like flames of fire, coming to bring judgment. When I designed the Terminator, I didn’t realize it at first, but it was all there—this apocalyptic vision of an unstoppable force, a world on the brink of destruction, and a war that was both cosmic and deeply personal.”

JCJ leans forward, intrigued. “So, you’re saying The Terminator was a twisted, dystopian version of the Wedding of the Lamb?”

Cameron nods slowly. “Kyle and Sarah’s love—it’s the last fragile light in a dying world. Their union isn’t just romance; it’s resistance. A last act of defiance against an iron-fisted fate. In Revelation, the Lamb marries his bride before the final battle. In my film, Reese and Sarah make love before he goes to war with the machine.”

JCJ’s mind races. “And the rod? Revelation says Christ will rule with a rod of iron. Kyle fights the Terminator with that metal pipe—”

“Exactly,” Cameron cuts in, his eyes gleaming. “Kyle was a soldier from the future, a man willing to die for love, for hope. And just like in Revelation, there’s this looming war, this beast that can’t be reasoned with. No compromise. No surrender.”

JCJ shakes his head in disbelief. “And people say Hollywood doesn’t use the Bible.”

Cameron chuckles darkly. “They use it all the time. They just don’t want you to know.”
