Biography

Randall and her soldiers captured a set of time displacement equipment. She and her team had to undress, as clothes won't be necessary. When they arrive in 1984, Los Angeles, they steal mannequins and put on their clothes.

During her temporal counteroffensive, she becomes romantically involved with the terminator-human hybrid cyborg I825.M, who she comes to know as "Dudley" as they battle against both terminators from the future and the developing threats being spawned in Cyberdyne Systems research under the direction of Dr. Bertram Hollister and Dr. Ed Astin.

After losing all the members of her cell in battle, and Dudley to an act of self-sacrifice to prevent his reversion to Skynet control, Mary finds herself in the company of Detective Mark Sloan standing between the last of Skynet's terminators, the psychopath serial killer "Catfish" and a very pregnant Sarah Connor as she was giving birth in Odessa, Texas.

In a bizarre twist of fate, instead of protecting the birth of John Connor, Mary has allowed the coming of Jane Connor. This event has cataclysmic repercussions on the Timeline, spawning an Alternate future in which Judgment Day still happens, but under Jane's leadership the resistance permits no terminators to ever be sent back in time, breaking the Predestination paradox. Somehow Mary survives the sudden shift in reality and remembers Detective Sloan, but has no idea why she is there.

1. ↑ Although the introduction of these characters in Tempest started by saying 1990 in the actual comics, they go back and retconn the situation because of the development of End Game, centering around Sarah Connor's pregnancy and the birth of John Connor. In End Game they explicitly state several dates. The assassination on July 25 1984 happens two months and five days before Sloan records the casefile entry on Catfish on September 30, 1984. Other explicit dates are October 1, 3, and 4 1984. Sara Connor is "forced" into the hospital in Odessa Texas due to complications in her pregnancy (IE: John/Jane is premature) from the basis of the Filmed events of The Terminator happening in May of 1984. That is, unless you want Sarah to be pregnant for 6 years. The comics people got it wrong for the initial Dark Horse stories of Tempest, Secondary Objectives, and The Enemy Within, and had to change it for the End Game storyline.
