Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines

He and Kate followed Terminator through the general’s outer office and into the
broad corridor as the T-X turned the corner and came directly at them.

Terminator stepped between them and the charging T-X. “Run,” he said, and he
stepped forward into her charge.

Connor grabbed Kate by the arm, hauled her around the opposite corner, and
they headed down the corridor in a dead run.

At the last instant T-X leaped into the air and kicked Terminator in his face with
the heel of her boot, putting all of her considerable power into the blow.

It was a force even stronger than the H-K’s missile, sending Terminator
smashing into the wall.

T-X came down light-footed as a cat, and without a glance at Terminator started
after Connor and Kate.

Terminator’s CPU was unable to register surprise, or at least not the human
variety, but he was able to register a reevaluation ofnew data that his processor
instantly used to overwrite an old subroutine. The T-X model was stronger, much
stronger and even more agile than he had been programmed to expect.

He would not make the same error twice.
