| abstract | - Derek's safe house was a nondescript apartment in Los Angeles which housed four Resistance agents. The agents were sent back twenty years to 2007 by John Connor to set up the safe house, gather intel, and wait for further instructions. Unknown to John, Derek had been told that Billy Wisher was partly responsible for the creation of Skynet, and decided to preempt the mission on his own crusade to prevent the Artificial intelligence from ever being created by assassinating members of the scientific community directly responsible, starting with Billy/Andy. After setting up the safe house, the Resistance agents tracked down leads on Skynet. They also acquired assets and weapons: money, diamonds worth $246k, guns, a growing amount of intel, and the ability to make fake identity papers. Many of the valuables were stored in a vault, which was hidden behind a poster of a kitten which said, "Hang in there, baby!" One of the agents, Sayles, tracked down an LA city manager Barbara Chamberlain who had championed ARTIE, a real time monitoring project in Los Angeles that could become the "nervous system" for Skynet's brain. He was spotted by Vick Chamberlain, a T-888 Infiltrator whose mission was to ensure the creation of Skynet. Vick followed Sayles back to the safe house, where he killed three of the agents and then lay on the floor and impersonated a dead member of the Resistance. Cameron Phillips, a reprogrammed terminator sent back to 1999 to aid John and Sarah Connor, knew the location of the safe house. She led Sarah there, but they only found the three dead Resistance agents and the T-888 waiting in hiding. When Cameron and Sarah showed up, the terminator attacked Cameron. Once he realized that Cameron was an "unknown cyborg", he decided to take evasive action. Sarah knocked it down with a motorcycle, but just as Cameron was about to take it out of commission, she was hit by a car. The T-888 successfully escaped. Cameron, John, and Sarah returned to the safe house later and John spotted the vault. Cameron went to open it, but the vault had been wired directly into the power supply and she was knocked offline when she touched it. John guessed that the password was the date for Judgment Day and was able to open the vault. They left the apartment just before the T-88 returned. As they left, the last remaining safe house resident watched them from the shadows. Sarah Connor was able to find clues from the intel that revealed that the safe house team had been a Skynet hunting party. She showed photographs from the intel to Tarissa Dyson, who identified one of the photographs as Andy Goode.
