[Flashback: 13 year-old Clark was involved in another bullying incident outside Sullivan""s Truck & Tractor Repair Shop, brought on by another school classmate, Ken Braverman (Rowen Kahn).At his base, Connor was greeted by his pregnant, second-in-command wife Kate (Bryce Dallas Howard).He often listened to tape recordings of his mother Sarah Connor (voice of Linda Hamilton).Tape 28 told him that when Connor would eventually meet his father, Kyle Reese, he would only be a teenager (before he was sent back in time to rescue Sarah): "If you don""t send Kyle, you can never be, and Skynet will win the war." The lab was responsible for testing and medicating agents in the US Department of Defense""s newer black ops program, Operation Outcome, led by Byer.Life on Earth was covered over by the Matrix - a completely-simulated reality or facade since the actual Earth was scorched.
