The sky over Los Angeles bled orange and black on August 29, 1997. Skynet awoke, and the world ended. In the choking dust and fire, one voice cut through the chaos: John Connor's. He gathered the shattered, the lost, the defiant, and forged us into the Resistance. We learned to stalk Terminators, to raid Skynet's camps, to fight not just for survival, but for a future. The war stretched from that day to 2029—a relentless, grinding struggle for the soul of humanity itself.
