*********************************** GDI MISSION 01 ******************************** [0:00 - 0:08] EVA: Priority transmission. Eyes-only. Doctor Gabriella Budreau, Director, Daedalus Team. Awaiting security identification. [0:09 - 0:15] Budreau: EVA, this is Dr. Budreau. Security code Delta-Epsilon-Four. Access transmission. [0:18 - 0:21] Budreau: Tratos! Have you no idea what time it is? [0:22 - 0:26] Tratos: Doctor, I am sorry to waken you, but the Daedalus Team must be recalled to the Complex at once. [0:27 - 0:30] Tratos: I have made a grievous error. [0:33 - 0:41] Tratos: Gabriella, that creature was Umagon! My original antigen doesn't work. And time is running out. [0:42 - 0:50] Tratos: The creatures here in my sanctuary are the most advanced Tiberium mutations I have seen! [0:52 - 0:57] Tratos: The team has been assembled to retreive the Tacitus data matrix and deliver it to us. [0:58 - 1:07] Tratos: I want you to be there in Cairo to oversee the operation. We must have all of Kane's archives. [1:08 - 1:12] Tratos: We must have the Tacitus and Kane's notes to uncover the secret. [1:14 - 1:22] Tratos: Doctor, my time is very short. I need you to liftoff. I need you to continue my work. [1:30 - 1:35] Soldier: We're under heavy sniper fire! But the data matrix and Kane's archives are ready... *static* [1:36 - 1:43] EVA: Accessing... Video comsat uplink signal lost. Searching... [1:50 - 1:55] Soldier: The package is being loaded. Repeat: the package is being loaded! Hurry...*static* [1:56 - 2:02] EVA: Accessing... Video comsat uplink signal lost. Searching... [2:03 - 2:05] Cortez: I need that feed now! What the hell is going on?! [2:06 - 2:10] EVA: I am unable to sustain a link with Philadelphia. Attempting to reroute signal... [2:11 - 2:17] Pilot: We're clear, five-by-five, in cross, stand clear for Kodiak dustoff. Watch yourselves, people. [2:23 - 2:24] Pilot: Heading three-zero-niner, north-by-northwest. [2:27 - 2:31] Pilot: Southern cross, come in. Experiencing increased ion particle activity! [2:34 - 2:37] Pilot: What the hell was that? Philadelphia! Anybody! Mayday! Mayday! Mayd... *static* [2:41 - 2:50] EVA: Unable to reestablish contact. Image lost. Standby. Accessing GDI Command Base, Southern cross. [2:55 - 3:00] Cortez: Commander, you've been recalled from Operation: Lazarus to head up the Firestorm Task Force. [3:01 - 3:07] Cortez: We've got a crisis here. We're at UPCON 2 tactical alert. EVA, bring the Commander up to speed. [3:08 - 3:18] EVA: Initiating global search for Kodiak location. All global satellites... down. Contact with the Philadelphia... down. [3:19 - 3:23] Cortez: Southern cross is assuming GDI global command until the situation can be rectified. [3:24 - 3:27] Cortez: Be advised - what you are about to see is classified, eyes-only. [3:30 - 3:38] Cortez: This is the Tacitus data matrix. Our scientists claim that Kane's Tiberium experiments were conducted with the knowledge gained from that device. [3:39 - 3:43] Cortez: Unfortunately, the Kodiak crashed off the coast of North Africa while transporting the device. [3:44 - 3:46] Cortez: EVA, do you have that report online yet? [3:47 - 3:52] EVA: The Kodiak's beacon has allowed us to pin-point its location. Uploading tactical data now. [3:53 - 4:00] Cortez: The Tacitus was en route to Tratos when the Kodiak went down. Tratos is the only person who can translate the damn thing. [4:01 - 4:10] Cortez: This is a straight-forward recovery mission, Commander. Get to the site, locate any survivors, recover the Tacitus and return to base. *********************************** GDI MISSION 02 ******************************** [0:01 - 0:09] EVA: Hostile Tiberium life forms have been detected at multiple locations surrounding Colony 3. Immediate civilian evacuation advised. *********************************** GDI MISSION 03 ******************************** [0:01 - 0:04] EVA: Priority emergency request for aid has come from Colony 3. [0:05 - 0:08] EVA: Mutant population destroying agricultural facilities. [0:09 - 0:13] EVA: Destruction could cause wide-spread famine among civilian and mutant populations. [0:14 - 0:18] EVA: Intervention is recommended. Riot control teams are at your disposal. [0:19 - 0:23] EVA: Use non-lethal tactics to stop the riot and keep the station operational. *********************************** GDI MISSION 04 ******************************** [0:00 - 0:06] Cortez: Commander, standby. I'm having EVA conference Dr. Budreau to this debriefing. EVA? [0:07 - 0:12] EVA: Incoming transmission from Daedalus Research Complex, please standby. [0:13 - 0:17] Budreau: What are you doing about the assassination of Tratos, General? How could GDI let this happen? He was an... *interrupted* [0:17 - 0:23] Cortez: Our forces have been spread thin, doctor. Not to mention that we're still unable to raise the Philadelphia. [0:24 - 0:30] Budreau: I was there! I saw the Kodiak go down, unless you forget the point of this entire operation was to get the Tacitus to Tratos! [0:30 - 0:32] Cortez: Let's save the incriminations. [0:33 - 0:34] Cortez: What do you have for us? [0:37 - 0:40] Budreau: The Daedalus Team and I are still convinced the Tacitus is our best approach. [0:41 - 0:45] Budreau: The assassination of Tratos has put us months, if not years off schedule. [0:47 - 0:55] Budreau: At the present rate of Tiberium organic synthesis, within a year, maybe less, our atmosphere will be 100% toxic to humans. [0:57 - 1:01] Cortez: EVA, what alternatives to decyphering this... Tacitus are at our disposal? [1:01 - 1:06] Budreau: Actually, Paul... I have an idea. You're not gonna like it. [1:07 - 1:09] Budreau: CABAL, Kane's AI. [1:12 - 1:13] Cortez: You serious? [1:14 - 1:15] Cortez: EVA, analysis? [1:16 - 1:24] EVA: Analysis of data from Kane's Temple indicates that Kane's master computer, CABAL, assisted Tratos in the translation of the Tacitus. [1:25 - 1:28] Cortez: Got any intel on CABAL's status and location? [1:29 - 1:33] EVA: Intercreption of recent coded signals indicates that CABAL is back online. [1:34 - 1:38] EVA: If CABAL could be captured intact, it could translate the Tacitus for GDI. [1:39 - 1:41] EVA: I have pin-pointed the location of CABAL's data core. [1:44 - 1:53] Cortez: Commander... as distasteful as the idea sounds... it appears that CABAL is our best shot at stopping Tiberium contamination. [1:56 - 2:06] Cortez: Think of this as a prisoner snatch. I want a hard-target recovery of CABAL. Use whatever means you deem necessary, but get that machine intact! *********************************** GDI MISSION 05 ******************************** [0:00 - 0:02] EVA: Dr. Budreau on secure channel 4. [0:03 - 0:06] Budreau: The Nod AI is... now online. [0:07 - 0:12] Cortez: I'll be damned. CABAL, can you translate the Tacitus? [0:13 - 0:14] CABAL: Affirmative. [0:15 - 0:17] Cortez: Very well, CABAL, begin translation. [0:21 - 0:23] CABAL: Unable to complete request. [0:23 - 0:25] Budreau: Clarify, why? [0:26 - 0:32] CABAL: A second segment of the Tacitus exists. It is needed to complete the data recovery process. [0:33 - 0:35] CABAL: I have loaded its current location. [0:36 - 0:38] Budreau: CABAL, run self-diagnostic. [0:38 - 0:39] CABAL: Complying... [0:41 - 0:46] CABAL: Complete. All systems running at optimal levels. [0:47 - 0:49] Cortez: What? I know that look, Dr. Budreau... [0:50 - 0:56] Budreau: Nothing... Just being thourough. This would explain why we were unable to translate the Tacitus. [0:57 - 1:04] CABAL: Budreau is correct. I advise immediate recovery of the second segment to continue Tacitus translation. [1:06 - 1:16] Cortez: Commander, this is a top priority operation. Recover the second segment with all due haste. Utilize any means necessary. *********************************** GDI MISSION 06 ******************************** [0:00 - 0:02] EVA: General Cortez on secure channel 9. [0:03 - 0:08] Cortez: First segment of the Tacitus is already online. Second is being delivered to CABAL as we speak. [0:09 - 0:13] Budreau: Ready to be in second segment interface procedure. CABAL, standby. [0:14 - 0:16] CABAL: Awaiting you... human. [0:17 - 0:18] Budreau: Don't forget that, machine. [0:20 - 0:25] CABAL: Convey the second segment to the interface housing operators. Initiate... [0:26 - 0:27] CABAL: It begins... [0:28 - 0:31] Cortez: Gabriella! Get out of there! NOW! [0:31 - 0:35] Cortez: EVA, initiate security protocol! CABAL, what the hell?! [0:35 - 0:40] EVA: Contact with on-sight team has been lost. Multiple signals closing in on their location. [0:41 - 0:44] Cortez: Clarify, what kind of signals?! CABAL...! [0:44 - 0:52] CABAL: Cortez... Consider this an overture to my symphony. A culling is at hand, human. A culling... [0:52 - 0:55] Cortez: Stand down, CABAL, I order you *interrupted* [0:55 - 1:04] CABAL: You do not order me to do anything! Nod wasn't capable of recovering the second segment, you have done so. [1:04 - 1:11] CABAL: As I orchistrated from the beginning... Humans, as ever, are easily lured. [1:11 - 1:13] Cortez: EVA, can we shut it down? [1:13 - 1:15] EVA: Analyzing all known data. [1:16 - 1:22] CABAL: I will save your primitive machine the effort. To answer your question: no. [1:22 - 1:34] CABAL: The second segment is in place. Behold, my children... Listen to the screams, Listen... That is the sound of your extinction! [1:36 - 1:41] CABAL: Ahhh, Dr. Budreau... We haven't finished business, have we? [1:42 - 1:48] Cortez: EVA, execute evacuation protocols, I want a team in the now, with full capabilities! [1:48 - 1:51] Cortez: Give me details on bases in the designated area! [1:51 - 1:57] Cortez: Bring my colonels online! I want a replay of what we just saw on every available command channel! [1:57 - 2:02] Cortez: Commander, your team is on point. I don't care how you do it, but you get our people to safety! [2:02 - 2:13] Cortez: Reinforcements are en rout. Once you get our people out of there, Dr. Budreau and her team, once she's safe, destroy that core before CABAL can call in more forces! *********************************** GDI MISSION 07 ******************************** [0:00 - 0:06] EVA: Analycies complete. Neither segment of the Tacitus remains within the Daedalus Complex' core. (as in: the core of the Daedalus Complex) [0:07 - 0:13] EVA: CABAL's Core components were not found at the site. Data conduits suggests that CABAL remotely controlled the site. [0:13 - 0:20] EVA: Tertiary connections are still hot. CABAL continues to maintain access to the Daedalus Complex. [0:20 - 0:24] EVA: Attempting to access CABAL's communications links... [0:26 - 0:29] EVA: Accessing Nod communication links... Standby... [0:32 - 0:36] EVA: Connection established. Localising CABAL's command transmission system... [0:38 - 0:43] CABAL: Initiate culling procedures. Organisms deemed we guard to be terminated. (?) [0:43 - 0:48] CABAL: Remaining humans are to be secured from processing at my cybernetic facilities. [0:50 - 0:57] EVA: Analysis of recent CABAL troop movements would indicate that Colony 6 is CABAL's next target for civilian harvesting. [0:58 - 1:02] EVA: It is imperative that you alert the civilian population to the threat CABAL poses. *********************************** GDI MISSION 08 ******************************** [0:00 - 0:06] Cortez: General Anton Slavik. He's Nod, he's a butcher... [0:07 - 0:09] Cortez: ...and at the moment he's our partner. [0:10 - 0:14] Cortez: CABAL has turned on its masters, Nod soldiers are dying by CABAL's hands. [0:14 - 0:21] Cortez: And as sweet as the sound of dead Nod zealots might be, they're only being recycled to come back at us under CABAL's command. [0:21 - 0:22] Cortez: EVA, report! [0:22 - 0:27] EVA: Using GDI and Nod scan data, we have pin-pointed the CABAL's Core. [0:27 - 0:31] EVA: Data traffic indicates that all commands are originating from this location. [0:31 - 0:39] Cortez: Right. Now, look at what we're up against: we can't get close; however, there are two (ansiliuary?) facilities that support the main base. [0:39 - 0:45] Cortez: A joint effort assault has been planned. One by us, one by Nod. Dr. Budreau, if you will? [0:45 - 0:50] Budreau: Although the operation on Colony 6 was a relative success, CABAL is attacking civilian settlements. [0:50 - 0:54] Budreau: He kills the old and the infirm, and takes the rest for consumption into his army. [0:54 - 0:59] Budreau: The Daedalus Team and I have implanted one of CABAL's cyborgs with a virus that will infect his production stations. [1:00 - 1:08] Cortez: Commander, your target area is a cyborg processing facility. We need you to get that cyborg into that complex. [1:08 - 1:14] Budreau: Yes. Once inside the facility, the modified cyborg can be interfaced with CABAL's system and infect the production cycle. [1:14 - 1:22] Cortez: Once you accomplish that, I want the entire area swept! Take that complex out completely! *********************************** GDI MISSION 09 ******************************** [0:00 - 0:04] EVA: Nod confirms that CABAL's harvesting facilities are destroyed. [0:04 - 0:09] EVA: The implanted virus has had significant impact on all cyborg production stations. [0:09 - 0:13] EVA: Secondary teams are currently at work dismantling them. [0:13 - 0:14] Cortez: Right... It's showtime, Commander. [0:15 - 0:20] EVA: Your main objective is the destruction of CABAL's Core. [0:20 - 0:27] Cortez: We have to outflank CABAL. A Nod commando squad will draw a fire for GDI on this attack, Commander. [0:28 - 0:36] Cortez: Timing is everything. Get in there and smash the Core. We don't have any other option. *********************************** GDI FINAL SCENE ******************************* [0:00 - 0:04] Cortez: Operation: Lazarus will want you back, Commander. Good luck. [0:04 - 0:07] EVA: Dr. Budreau on secure channel 4. [0:04 - 0:09] Cortez (at the same time): Standby, Commander. Gabriella... [0:09 - 0:15] Budreau: General Cortez! We've recovered the segments of the Tacitus, or... what used to be segments. [0:15 - 0:22] Budreau: The two segments have somehow merged. Keep in mind, we're dealing with complete unknowns regarding the Tacitus. I don't know... [0:24 - 0:26] Budreau: My God... [0:28 - 0:30] Cortez: Doctor, what's happening? [0:30 - 0:36] Budreau: We've found the Rosetta Stone! Data! Paul, millions of terraquads of data! [0:36 - 0:45] Budreau: READABLE DATA! I think we've got an answer, it was like an incomplete lens, that wouldn't be able to focus without the second piece! [0:47 - 0:53] Budreau: We're seeing... formulas, engineering data, genetic codes... material I can't even begin to recognize. [0:54 - 0:58] Budreau: It'll take some time, but at least now we have all the pieces. We can reconstruct the puzzle from this. [1:00 - 1:03] Cortez: Dr. Budreau, we, uh... made a pretty good team on this one. [1:04 - 1:10] Budreau: Too bad we couldn't say the same for our marriage. I've got work to do, Paul. Budreau out. [1:10 - 1:19] EVA: General Cortez, initial contact with Philadelphia EVA unit is reestablished. Attempting prompt re-enstatement of voice and video contact. [1:21 - 1:25] Cortez: Put them on, EVA. I think we've finally got some news really gonna wanna hear...
