Skynet Work Camp

From Terminator Wiki

A Skynet Workcamp in Terminator Salvation
Prisoners

Skynet Work Camps are concentration camps run by Skynet in the post-apocalyptic future. Humans were forced inside these camps for "orderly disposal". "Disposal units" ran 24 hours a day, bringing the human population to the brink of extinction. Some were kept alive to load bodies. Prisoners were burned with laser barcodes, presumably to keep track of them. Humans loyal to Skynet were in charge of the Work Camps and monitored the human prisoners.[1][2]

John Connor and Kyle Reese were both imprisoned in Century Work Camp, a work camp located in Los Angeles. On the brink of extinction, John Connor united the despairing humans and taught them to fight, storm the camps and overcome the terminator guards. The beginnings of the human Resistance was created from these survivors.

Notes

  • Skynet Work Camps resemble the Nazi extermination camps run by the SS, like Auschwitz.

Quotes

Sarah Connor: Reese. Why me? Why's it want me?
Kyle Reese: There was a nuclear war. A few years from now, all this, this whole place, everything, it's gone. Just gone. There were survivors. Here, there. Nobody even knew who started it. It was the machines, Sarah.
Sarah Connor: I don't understand.
Kyle Reese: Defense network computers. New... powerful... hooked into everything, trusted to run it all. They say it got smart, a new order of intelligence. Then it saw all people as a threat, not just the ones on the other side. Decided our fate in a microsecond: extermination.
Sarah Connor: Did you see this war?
Kyle Reese: No. I grew up after. In the ruins... starving... hiding from H-K's.
Sarah Connor: H-K's?
Kyle Reese: Hunter-Killers: patrol machines built in automated factories. Most of us were rounded up, put in camps for orderly disposal. (pulls up his right sleeve, exposing a barcode) This is burned in by laser scan. Some of us were kept alive... to work... loading bodies. The disposal units ran night and day. We were that close to going out forever. But there was one man who taught us to fight, to storm the wire of the camps, to smash those metal motherfuckers into junk. He turned it around. He brought us back from the brink. His name is Connor. John Connor. Your son, Sarah, your unborn son.

Sarah Connor:(Looking at barcode on forearm of dead Resistance fighter) I've seen that before. Kyle Reese had one.
Cameron Phillips: Skynet work camp. Prisoner.

Cameron Phillips:(After seeing a barcode in the police file of Derek Reese) That's a tattoo from a Skynet work camp. He's a resistance fighter.
