TAPA, I was planning for Bucky to encounter the Terminator before they reach Mineski. After a fight, a sudden electronic sprite appeared below them and teleported them to Mineski's lab by accident. Mineski's lab is completely hidden, it cannot just be detected. It's like a virtual world in there. No real object can get in there unless teleported by that teleporter. But he can get in there. Well, there are still a few things I have to point out.

1.) Terminators can't be teleported unless under their own will (if they accept/connect to the teleportation). However, I assume he will since he is intent on destroying Bucky, & will stick to him wherever he goes.

2.) The fight is a bit lop-sided. I saw how Bucky fights in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. He can do things with speed, delivering fast stabs & stuff with a knife & rolling away or firing from several positions. A terminator fights differently. It doesn't dodge. It doesn't block. It just keeps running for you even as you fire at it or throw at it or stab at it, since it won't really be moved or damaged. What it does do is counterattack, & this is an ability made more lethal thanks to its predictive servos & the fact that every unit is programmed with every combat trick in the book, making them some sort of veteran for thousands of years even when they were only recently made. Anything, no matter how well cloaked or hidden, is not safe from its vision. The only way is to probably stall it from afar, never getting near it. Hand-to-hand is suicidal, as you can't outpower one, or move one. Any metal that ain't adamantium hyperalloy will get crushed. If it gets near you, the best thing you could hope to happen is that it grabs you & throws you, & not punch through your head or crush you in its grip. Well it's your character so you better stick with it. But I'm make sure no flaws will occur. And Bucky does have friends. They are skillful but they still can't take down your Terminator. They will instead make sure Bucky reaches Mineski's house, but all of them still ended up teleported by the sprites. Randolf's shot can't miss, but in this case the bullets will either melt (due to his aura) or crushed. Arthur will almost improvise, but still won't work. Harold, still improvises and eventually found a worn-out wire connected to the house. He used it to charge their motorbike and... then the teleportation occur.

How about after the teleportation, brief introduction, communication inside the lab, the Terminator will destroy the house and seek for the lab. Then the five flee via quick transportation (Mineski's sprites upgraded the motorbike).

How about after the Terminator's encounter with Bucky, he will encounter Cyphin while he was seeking Mineski. After seeing the house wrecked, he starts attacking the Terminator.Considering it a threat to his son. Well let's just say he still have his fatherly instincts left from his former human self so he's willing to protect his son. How about your opinion? You can't really use the term "fatherly instincts". All the humanity the subject used to have is gone when turned into a T-3000; he becomes totally machine, & the thing is irreversible unless one goes back in time & prevents him from ever being "converted". However, while his old bond with Mineski is gone forever, you could have it that he eventually develops a new fatherly bond for Mineski (remember, eventually, The Terminator regards Sarah as a "daughter" & not just a mission priority).

Besides, it's Cyphin (already a T-3000) from the future who turned the past Cyphin into a T-3000, so you could say he "programmed himself" to protect Mineski. But you did remember saying to me that "T-3000s had little emotions left from their transformation". But since Cyphin only feel remorse to Mineski in about 0.4% manner. He can frown and shed a tear but it means less to him. And yeah, Cyphin treated Mineski in a new way now (like what you said above). Eventually, DIRT will try to teach Cyphin how to be more of a father (and by father, he means like a human father). You know, like how you make Carrie make the Terminator smile (ending up with a creepy grin). Well, so far, only a T-900 can shed tears. Other terminators before & after are incapable of that. They don't have the sadness, mate. So far, only the basic anger or annoyance is felt by terminators, that's how limited their emotional range is. Happiness or sadness is not really something a terminator can feel in any way.

And all terminators, no matter how capable of emotion, cannot have remorse.

As said, mate (this applies for all terminators, even T-900s): "They can't be bargained with, they can't be reasoned with, they feel no fear or pity or pain or remorse, & they absolutely will not stop, ever, until (insert mission objective here)" Got that, comrade.

Also, about the Terminator's encounter with Bucky. Will it happen before or after they arrive at Mineski's? Or will they meet before or after Cyphin encountered the gang? Maybe before Cyphin encounters them. At first, they have to fend for themselves. Then The Terminator will probably have a run-in with Cyphin twice. The first fight, The Terminator is unprepared, & gets held off for long enough. The second time, he's ready.

As for how he will meet Bucky...Well, I've got that planned. That's a surprise. Then maybe one of your characters who is very close to Zomboss (close enough to know about terminators; the rest of the army, not even Bucky, knows that they are working with machines) will explain about who the hell is attacking them & what he wants (I'll do the explanation). Well let's just put on like this. After they meet Mineski, they moved all the way to Leningrad while discovering Bucky's hidden talent. Then the Terminator detect him close. Cyphin noticed Mineski's not home. So he teleported in where the Terminator was. That's the first encounter. When Bucky and the gang continued moving, the meet the Terminator. The Terminator kicked all the other guys protecting Bucky. Mineski moved forward in front of him. Then Cyphin came out and marked the Terminator a threat (for hunting Bucky and Mineski).

And that character must be Zombnik. Not just because he's third-in-command in the Necro Military and a scientist, it's also because he is always on Zomboss' side. Also, keep in remind that Zomboss and Anklebone are still in 2001 Iraq. Someone must go there to tell all about Bucky getting rogue. Then he can call the Obliterator to retrieve Bucky. Also keep in mind that Zomboss is keeping Bucky's talent for himself. No other zombie knews his secret and what Zombies plans to do about it, not even Anklebone and Zombnik.
