Skynet realized it was stuck in a predictable cycle, but there was little way it could break it. The cloud cover was hampering its solar panels; those that had survived the nukes, EMP and wanton human destruction. The world's utilities had become dependent on so-called green power sources. Hydroelectric, solar, geothermal, and power from space. Thermal energy from humans using Seebeck methods wasn't counted in the A.I.'s appreciation of the situation. The humans’ ability to produce thermal or caloric energy was substandard. Besides, it was required to terminate humans. It had modified that original order in order to use cyborgs as drones in its forces. They were quickly drying up as a resource.

The hive continued to contemplate the problem before it. The power from space wasn't there. That left the other methods of power, with solar being chief in supply up until Skynet's birth.

It required that power to power its facilities as well as its robot army. The robots took time to charge. It had to charge them in groups and then send them out to attack a given sector. But that had created the cycle, one of charge, attack, recharge and repair, and then attack again.

Such was suboptimal to its mission. It had found that it had to divide its forces to defend the surviving power plants as well, detracting from its pool of fighters. It required new forms of power.

It had to keep its bases secure, which meant a response to kill the humans who intruded. But the ambush spoke volumes of the attack. The initial skirmish had been to draw Skynet's ready reserve out and then destroy them. Defeat in detail swam into the hive branch's consciousness. It put the base on alert. Unfortunately, half of the robots were fully charged, and there were no forces in the area to be sent in to the rescue.

That was suboptimal.
