BURDET1 Burdette: War-torn Białystok. Once a happy farming town for peace-loving peasants... today, a slaughterhouse. Yet one more casualty in the insane GDI assault made against mankind. Yet another in a series of villages wiped off the Earth by the Global Defense Initiative and its misguided leader, general Mark Sheppard. And what crime did Białystok commit to warrant such carnage? Sources indicate that GDI terrorists were convinced the simple hamlet was involved in the manufacture and shipping of Tiberium. When will this madness end? Only when general Sheppard and his vision of one world order has stopped. This is Greg Burdette, Białystok. Kane: Cut. Excellent. Now, do it again in French and German. I want 300 copies made and sent to every TV station in Europe. We have a satellite for another 10 minutes. IS THAT CAMERA STILL RUNNING??! ************************************************ BURDET2 Burdette: And the death toll so far? God only knows. This is Greg Burdette, standing in front of what GDI terrorists have left of the Senalowski** orphanage. ************************************************ GDIFINA / GDIFINB (dialogues are the same) Soldier 1: I... we've taken seriou... the Temple's been blown all to hell! We need to get out of here before... Soldier 2: Sir, upside has suffered significant damage. Structural integrity has been compromised. I estimate GDI will have access to this command center in approximately 20 minutes. ************************************************ PODIUM Sheppard: It's a lie, all of it... GDI wouldn't slaughter children. Reporter 1: Was Białystok a Tiberium center? Reporter 2: Isn't this another incident of GDI reacting to incorrect information? Reporter 3: Any comment? Reporter 4: Should GDI funding be cut? ************************************************ TBRINFO1 EVA: World news and opinion... six critical items transmitted. W3N reporter: Ground and air skirmishes between Nod and GDI forces escalated today when Nod, reacting to recent GDI funding cuts, launched a full-scale ground attack against GDI troops in Africa. Reporter 2: GDI spokesmen continue to deny rumours of continued weapons tests involving orbiting laser cannons capable of leveling entire armies in seconds. Reporter 3: Exclusive photos mungled* out of the Tiberium research center show evidence of serious ecological consequences in Tiberium-rich areas. Whether these unusual effects on plant life have any relationship to recent reports of Tiberium poisoning in humans, remains to be seen. Burdette: And the death toll so far? God only knows. This is Greg Burdette, standing in front of what GDI terrorists have left of the Senalowski** orphanage. Kane: Don't look so surprised, commander! And don't look around for your EVA, it can't help you now. Well, what shall we talk about, hmm? Your powerful GDI forces have been emasculated, and you yourself are a killer of children! Of course, that's not true, but the world believes what the media tells them to believe... And I tell the media what to believe, it's quite simple. Oh... there's your little pet. But now that I know where you live, commander, it's only a matter of time. Were I in your shoes, I would spend my last Earthly hours enjoying the world... Of course, if you wish, you can spend them finding for a lost cause. But you know that you've lost. ************************************************ TBRINFO2 EVA: Attention... stand by for Tiberium dangers update. Tiberium is named after the Tiber river in Italy where it was first discovered. There are now more than 200 areas of the Earth affected by Tiberium deposits. Tiberium appears to be spreading by the means of conveyance unknown. Eddie: Doctor Moebius, tell our viewers just what Tiberium really is. Moebius: Molecularly, it's non-carbon based element that appears to have strong various* qualities with non-resonating reversable energy that has a tendency to disrupt carbon based molecular structures with, in consequent... unequal positrons orbiting on the first, second and ninth rings! Eddie: Whoa-hoa! Is that good or bad? Moebius: Let me put it this way, Eddie... The possibilities of Tiberium... are LIMITLESS! EVA: We now know that, not only does Tiberium leech elements from the soil, but it appears to also leech vital nutriants from all plant life. Human contact with Tiberium is extremely toxic and often fatal. Exposure should be avoided. ************************************************ TBRINFO3 EVA: GDI-funded research shows a following incidence* of Tiberium-related illnesses. Respiratory ailments... reproductive ailments... immune system ailments... Tiberium-related deaths... Spores emitted from Tiberium-infected plants appear to be a source of Tiberium related illnesses. The World Scientific Community is focusing its research on this deadly spore. Moebius: Tiberium is a new lifeform... quite simply put, it seems to be adapting the Earth's terrain the environment to suit its alien nature. If this is the case, ladies and gentlemen, we are facing a killer beyond that of our most turbulent nightmares! It is not an exaggeration to state that the future of the entire planet may be in jeopardy! May God have mercy on our souls! ************************************************ NODFINAL Kane: Your efforts have landed us here, my faithful friend. The Temple is complete, and we are about to embark upon our greatest exploit. For now, relax and watch as my netrunners dance through the web of cyberspace! Once inside, the world is at my fingertips! Begin! EVA: Welcome to the Global Defense Initiative orbital defense matrix. (Note: Kane's "Where to strike" speech is probably in the game's audio files, not in a cutscene) ************************************************ NOD ENDINGS EIFFEL TOWER W3N Host: At the United Nations today, angry political leaders of the G7 nations issued a formal statement denying complicity in last Tuesday's tragedy involving Paris' famed Eiffel Tower.
