    Plot twist: the professor is on the verge of creating a superefficient new pesticide. If the student makes it to class they will ask a question that will inspire the professor to break through the final problem and create the pesticide, leading to the deaths of billions of insects. One insect has been sent from the future to prevent this from happening. It is… the Termitenator.

        “Kid,” says the T-1000 in the voice of their father. “Get to class.”

        Without further elaboration, it leaves.
