Skynet send Terminators back to protect him, and aide him in his research. My favorite of which was where Dyson didn't create Skynet, some old man did.

can all be canon, because they are all in different timelines. (Explaining why throughout Terminator canon there are so many different things that happen.all of the books, comics, movies, etc. Whenever the war tips in either sides favor, they change history, starting the cycle again. According to Connor, it's happened many, many, many, many, many times. Sending things into the past isn't a new thing, either. If either side ever got both, the other side would be doomed. The only thing that kept balance in the war was the fact that both sides had one. One was at the CRS facility where Skynet was "born", and the other was within Cheyenne Mountain. CRS Developed the Continuum Transporter, and made 2 of them. He personally didn't care what happened in 1997, because he figured he wouldn't live that long, so he would simply enjoy his riches in the last few years he had left.) Has a tendency to constantly ask questions, ranging from its surroundings, to Chell (or any test subject), to where it is going. Seems to be what allows GLaDOS to keep her weapons under control. According to Connor, it's happened many, many, many, many, many times. Installed to prevent GLaDOS from filling the Enrichment Center with neurotoxin.
