- The Terminator wheeled the big Harley around,
- cutting onto a street that ran parallel to the canal.
- The target was racing along in the concrete canyon.
- Terminator had to accelerate to keep it in sight. One
- eye pointed directly forward, artificially creating depth
- perception by creating a computer-generated off-angle
- ghost image. The other eye locked on the target, running
- ref-checks on the passenger, which came up blank
- (there was no memory data, perhaps an oversight), and
- making instantaneous kinetic studies of trajectories,
- concluding that the target was too far away, and moving
- too fast for an attempt at contact.
- He would have to head him off.
- The Terminator hunkered down and increased speed,
- the Harley’s tires hanging onto the gravel-strewn dirt
- path running alongside the canal by micrometers.
- Then he came to another street and had to slow,
- repositioning its other eye for emergency backup, and
- using its hyperreal sense of motion and mass to shoot
- around an oncoming station wagon, missing it by a
- heartbeat. When Terminator tried to reestablish visual
- contact with the target, it had disappeared.
- Rapidly rescanning the canal below, he came up with
- zero.
- But he could hear the dirt bike’s high-pitched squeal.
- Instantly, he rapid-scanned the area down to the moving
- quarry.
- The dirt bike had driven up a ramp out of the canal
- back onto the street a half block away, and was wheeling
- into the parking garage of the Galleria, a vast, four
- tiered shopping mall.
- The Terminator smoothly leaned the cycle around
- several slower cars and closed in.
