SO last update was 4 years ago. You said last year that you were working on the next chapter. So where is it? This is a very good story even with the couple of mistakes, and I believe it would be a big loss if it is allowed to sit and continue to molder.

In a Terminator mood right now hope this story gets updated soon
Comments from author:
Holy crap!! Someone found my story!!
I sort of got side-tracked, kept meaning to update and forgetting. 2 Years and a bit later and I still haven't gotten around to it :p
I'll start working on it again before the end of the week, although might make some creative changes to some previous chapters to neaten it up a little bit.

The Illiuminati? KInd of off base there. The PTB has authority over that dimension. AND the Illuminati are not beholden to the Demon world. Even if they were, the PTB would be matching them. SO this is kind of stupid.
Comments from author:
Not really. The Powers That Be and/or The Senior Partners are the highest authority, they then have subsudaries that do their dirty work for them (i.e Wolfram & Hart was The Senior Partners' legal control, The Circle Of The Black Thorn were responsible for ensuring that the apocalypse will run the way the Senior Partners want it to run, etc)
The fabled Illuminati, in this particular fiction, will be responsible for making sure that all of mankind's "organizations" (governments, businesses, military groups, etc) are under control. The Illuminati would have been accountable for The Watcher's Council, and would have had influence on Cyberdyne Systems. With The Watcher's Council no longer functioning, the Illuminati need to clean up the mess and replace the void. :-)
So, you're right but you're wrong -- yes, PTB control everything, no, illuminati would not match PTB because some other subsidary would be handling the demons (that part is actually mentioned in the first chapter btw.)
Anyway, thankyou for your comments :-)

Nice bit of the old ultraviolence. I liked the fact that Faith figured out what the Terminator was right off. Now she needs to get an antitank rocket launcher. Lol! I look forward to seeing what happens to a T-800 when it is hit by a nasty magic spell, say from Ripper or the missing Willow. Maybe Dawn has been working on her Book of Shadows under Willow's guidance?

You'll find out soon enough :-)

I'm looking forward to see when the Terminators turn on their makers. Just to enjoy the screams of those arrogant enough to want power so much, they create such monstrosities and justify it as "serving the people" crap. It's about power. Please make them scream.
Comments from author:
Yep, those who want too much power tend to lose it. :-)

So far, very good story. I like how you've so logically melded the Terminators into the Buffyverse. Could Cyberdyne have gotten their hands of some of Warren's robotics work? I look forward to seeing how Buffy or Faith take on a T-800 unit. Please keep writing. Sorry, I can't send you a new car, but you do have my thanks for a neat story. So far. Lol!
Comments from author:
Thanks again for your enthusiasm :-) It's nice to know people are enjoying my story - I'm working on the new chapter atm, I'm trying to get a little more action in this one ;-)

The correct spelling of Travers' first name is Quentin.
I agree with Jason Barnett; the explosion that destroyed the Watchers' Council building was far too powerful for there to have been any survivors. I have seen fics in which individual members are retrieved alive, although severely injured, from the rubble. Usually it is Lydia who survives, and the injuries typically include amputation of one or both legs. That's plausible; the way you portray Travers' survival needs a little more explanation to reach the same level of plausibility.
Apart from that the story is entertaining and the plot looks good so far.
Comments from author:
The name has been corrected :-)
You're the second person who has told me about the need for info in regards to Quentin's survival, I will arrange for an explanation in one of the later chapters :-D
You know Travers died in Buffy right? SO you need to mention his survival or how he survived as part of this AU.
Comments from author:
We saw an explosion, we did not see Quinton actually die. I just personally think that someone who has been the leader of the Watcher's Council for umpteen years, would need more than a bomb to meet his death. (I've made the assumption that he has wicca connections like Giles).

Looks good so far, looking forward to more. The only comment is that I believe it is Quenten not Quinton and I'm not too sure about the last three letters!
Comments from author:
I have no idea how Quinton is spelled, if someone can provide the correct spelling I will happily ammend the story. :-)

So Arnold is going to show up and start killing Demons?
Comments from author:
No, Terminators are going to show up and start killing Vampires (and have a good stab at killing the slayers whilst they're at it.)
It's mentioned in the first chapter that Terminators have no magical defence, therefore would be obliterated by most demons before getting close enough to hurt them.
Now this is a unique idea! I look forward to seeing where you go with it. Poor Travers. NOT! Lol! I somehow think the Illuminate are not going to keep control of the situation with the Terminators. I wonder how long it will take for the Terminators to start terminating them. Lol! More please and well done for your first story.
