EVA: Priority transmission. Eyes only. Doctor Gabriella Boudreau, director, Daedalus team. Awaiting security identification.

Boudreau: EVA, this is doctor Boudreau. Security code Delta-Epsilon-four. Access transmission.

Boudreau: Tratos... have you any idea what time it is?

Tratos: Doctor, I'm sorry to waken you, but the Daedalus team must be recalled to the complex at once. I have made a grievous error.

Tratos: Gabriella, that creature was Umagon. My original antigen doesn't work. Time is running out. The creatures here in my sanctuary are the most advanced tiberium mutations I have seen.

Tratos: A team has been assembled to retrieve the Tacitus data matrix, and deliver it to us. I want you to be there in Cairo to oversee the operation. We must have all of Kane's archives! We must have the Tacitus, and Kane's notes to uncover the secret. Doctor, my time's very short. I need you to pick up where I've left off. I need you to continue my work.

Boudreau: Say again, Southern Cross, you're breaking up. We're under heavy ********* but the data matrix and Kane's archives are ready-

EVA: Accessing...

EVA: video comsat uplink signal lost. Searching...

Boudreau: The package is being loaded, repeat, The package is being loaded. Hurry!

EVA: Accessing...

EVA: video comsat uplink signal lost. Searching...

Commander: I need that feed now! What the hell is going on?!

EVA: I am unable to sustain a link with Philadelphia. Attempting to reroute signal.

Kodiak pilot: We're clear. Five by five. Thanks, southern cross, stand clear for Kodiak dustoff. Watch yourselves, people.

Kodiak pilot: Heading three-zero-nine at north by north-west.

Kodiak pilot: Southern Cross, come in! Experience increased ion particle activity!
Kodiak pilot: What the hell was that! *********, anybody, mayday, mayday, may-

EVA: Unable to reestablish contact. Image lost.
EVA Stand by. Accessing GDI command base Southern Cross.

Cortez: Commander, you've been recalled from Operation Lazarus to head up the Firestorm Task Force. We've got a crisis here. We're at OPCOM 2 tactical alert. EVA, bring the commander up to speed.

EVA: Initiating global search for Kodiak location. All global satellites... down. Contact with the Philadelphia... down.

Cortez: Southern Cross is assuming GDI global command until the situation can be rectified. Be advised, what you are about to see is classified, eyes only.

Cortez: This is the Tacitus data matrix. Our scientists claim that Kane's tiberium experiments were conducted using knowledge gained form the device. Unfortuantely, the Kodiak crashed off the coast of North Africa while transporting the device. EVA, do you have that report online yet?

EVA: The Kodiak's beacon has allowed us to pinpoint its location. Uploading tactical data now.

Cortez: The Tacitus was en route to Tratos when the Kodiak went down. Tratos is the only person who can translate the damn thing. This is a straightforward recovery operation, commander. Get to the site, locate any survivors, recover the Tacitus, and return to base.
