In ], Lachlan Weaver was killed in the crash of a helicopter he was piloting and in which Catherine Weaver was a passenger. Catherine Weaver, thereafter, consolidated her authority over ZeiraCorp. In the succeding two years, stock values doubled. Unbeknownst to her employees and the rest of the world, Catherine was killed and replaced by a ] liquid metal terminator at approximately the same time as Lachlan's death. |

|
In ], the T-1001 posing as Catherine Weaver restructures staffing in order to form a new project group to develop an ] system she dubs "Babylon". The announcement follows ZeiraCorp's acquisition of a chess-playing computer known as ]. Shortly after complaining about the loss of much of his staff, executive ] is killed by the T-1001. In addition to restructuring existing personnel, the Weaver/T-1001 hires ] ] ] as an investigator to capture a ], and ] as a part-time consultant to develop the Turk's intelligence. Following Sherman's untimely death and Ellison's completion of his mission, Ellison is reassigned as the tutor and counselor of the Turk which Sherman had named ]. |

It is referred by John Henry in the episode "Good Wound" that Zeira Corp controls approximately 7% of world's ] resources. It's therefore implied that Zeira Corp tracks all existing aspects of the technology required to construct terminators and advanced AI such as John Henry. In the season finale it is revealed that Catherine Weaver was not actually building Skynet but apparently using Zeira Corp and its human resources to build a counter measure to fight it. |

==Automite Systems== |
|
|
In the final scene of the episode, "Automatic for The People", the T-1001 is revealed to have also assumed the identity of one Mr. Bradbury (]), an executive of Automite Systems, who announces that his company has entered into a partnership with the owners of seven nuclear power plants to install automated controls in the plants' control rooms. Once in his automobile, he morphs into the Catherine Weaver shape before driving away. Apart from the secret duality of Weaver and Bradbury, no corporate connection nor relationship has been depicted thus far between Automite Systems and ZeiraCorp. |
