EXT-NAVAL COMMAND CARRIER-CLASSIFIED LOCATION
The Command vessle docked at the naval facility. Generals Shepard and Locke got out and walked up to several soldiers, all of whom gave sharp salutes.
"Sirs. The President wishes to speak to the pair of you personly. He's meeting with the top 5 generals."
"At ease, men. Where does he want to speak to us?"
"Sir. In the Command Center. Sir."
"Dismissed."
INT-COMMAND CENTER-CLASSIFIED LOCATION
President Dugon was sitting on a chair, waiting for the last two key members of this new organisation. Shepard and Locke stepped in the room and saluted to the President.
"At ease, men." The generals sat down, beside the other three generals.
"Well men." Dugon started. "welcome to this new global defence initative..."
"Sir? Is that what we're called? The Global Defence Initative?" Shepard questioned.
"Well, Shepard. Seeing as your in command of this group, it's your choice."
"I think we should go with it. For short, we are the GDI."
"Has a ring to it..."
A voice outside yelled out: "Freeze, intruder!"
The men all ran to the door and pulled it wide open. A mere meter from the door stood a man, dressed in desert camoflage clothes. He had an aggrivated, but confident expression on his face. Two sentries were advancing towards him. Carter looked at the man for a full 5 seconds before calling out to the sentries:
"I wouldn't get any closer if I were you."
The sentries ignored him and walked slightly closer. The man acted. His grabbed one of the mens assult rifles and swung the butt into his face. He then dropped the gun, grabbed the soldiers arm and flung him into the other guard. Both guards fell to the ground. The stranger then walked up to the President and extended his arm.
"Permission to join this group."
Carter and Huntly grinned. This man was either very bold, or very stupid. But seeing as Carter knew this man, he knew the answer was that this man was mearly doing what it takes to get a job done.
"Who are you?"
"Ex-Field Commander Eagle. I was the one that wiped out the GLA, fought against the Soviets in the second war. I'm surprised you don't remember me."
Dugon took a closer look at the man in front of him. Indeed it was the Commander who had followed his orders in the second Soviet War.
"Your Commander Eagle? Wow, an honour to meet you, Sir." Edwards said.
"Your a general, yet you act like I'm your superior?"
"If you want to join GDI, I see no reason why not." The President stated.
"Thank you, Sir. I won't let you down." Eagle promised.
INT-TEMPLE OF NOD-COMMAND CENTER
Scorpion was looking at the tactical plans for the vehicals he had given Nod. The scorpion tanks modifications were indeed enhancing it. Better armour, better firepower. The only negative thing he could see wrong was the lack of the missile launcher on the back. Kane had told him that the missiles weren't that useful on tanks like this and claimed that they were going into a newer model of tanks. The technical was being combined with the buggy, again the rockets had been removed. These rockets, Scorpion knew where they were going. These rocket launchers were being placed on the combat bikes, forming what they had dubbed the recon bike. This, Scorpion approved of, since motor bikes were faster than any old buggy. One thing Scorpion was upset about was the scraping of the toxic tractors. Chemical warfare was not Kane's idea of global liberation. Scud Launchers were also scrapped. However, the missiles were being equiped with all the nukes Nod had stolen, most of which were Chineese. The GLA slaves were going through a training program to become engineers. Equal rights within the Brotherhood. Well, with the current technology, there was no need for workers, engineers did the job much better, plus they could capture buildings instantly. The troops were being issued new uniforms. All the men agreed that they were much better: red bullet proof clothing, with black kevlar covering the torso. Black helmet with infrared eyes and gas mask. All equiped with standerd Nod auto rifles. This army was better than the GLA ever was. Kane walked into the room and activated the communicator..
"Gavis. Now is the time for you to take over the Cairo government."
Scorpion walked up to Kane.
"The equipment is very impressive. What is your master plan?"
"First, we need control over several governments. Cairo might not seem important, but that is where your Command Center will be. For it has easy escape routes, if anything were to happen."
"And the other Governments?"
"Most of the Gulf that have any oil. We need funding. After that, we'll need to disable the US army's Particle Cannon. Then any other super weapon. After that, we must steal whatever technology we can. Last: we start the campain to liberate the world. Peace through power."
"I like the last bit. But the others are necessary for that to happen, correct?"
"Correct. And we have discovered a top secret base, where we shall steal the technology from. It was discovered that it has research going into lasers, stealth generaters and aircrafts."
"What base is this?"
"Area 51, however, the public romours are not true. There are no alien crafts there. They're elsewhere."
Kane walked out of the room.
EXT-GDI HQ-CLASSIFIED LOCATION
Eagle was walking around the base, admiring the defences. The base on the top of a small mountain. The edges were higher up than the base, so, for defence, the same model of patriot missiles used the the GLA war were placed on the edges. There was an even higher part, which had a comm. station apon it, giving a radar of the surrounding area. There were only two ways into the base. One, was a bridge, that led to a local town. The town was, of course, a front, used as defence. Both sides of the bridge had gates and sentries. The other way in, was the dock. The only problem with the dock was the overal lack of security. The dock was how he had got in. He had swam to the docks and because no-one was patroling the place, he'd had free access. He's pointed that out to the chief of security. Otherwise, the defence only had one flaw, it was starting to get old. Just then, the gate at the bridge opened up. In came a large convoy of APCs, trucks, tanks, humvees and other forms of vehicals. The convoy stopped in the center of the base. Soldiers, sciantists, drivers, pilots and UN officals came out. It was a new batch of men and equipment for GDI. Some of the guns that they were carrying caught his attention. They were the new auto rifles, rocket launchers, chain guns and ramjet rifles.
"What have we got here then?" He asked the lead UN official.
"We have the 1st Soviet War Mammoth Tanks, Crusaders, Humvees, F-22 Rapters, Chinooks, Migs, hackers, dragon tanks, modified troop crawlers, supply trucks, several new fleets of ships, hover crafts and Apaches. We also have the Electonic Video Agent aka EVA ready to install. Once that has been put onto your hard drive, you have the greatest analysis officer to date's skills. We have some of your much needed men. Plus, a few special personnel."
"How meny personnel?"
"836 soldiers, 32 scientists, 5 special personnel and 210 pilots."
"Fucking hell. This definately helps GDI. Over a thousand men?"
"Half of which are arriving on your new gunboats."
"Who are the special personnel?"
"Agent Tanya Adams, Colonel Berton, Nick 'Havok' Parker, the Black Lotus and Albert Einstein.
"Shit. These guys truly are giving us their best. I take it Einstein is our lead scientist? What for? Weapon R&D?
"Yes. Einstein already has several ideas. What do you think GDI would say to an orbital satalite armed with a smaller, but just as powerful, version of the Partical Cannon, an Ion Cannon?"
"I think we'd say, we'll take it." General Shepard said, walking upto them.
Eagle walked upto the crowd, looking for any familier faces. He saw Burton, who greeted him in the usual manner, slap him on the back and light up a cigar. He also saw Tanya, who embraced him.
"It's been too long." She said. "Where have you been all these years?"
"Finding myself. Looking for a reason to continue in this buisiness. I found it."
"Good. I can't think of a better Commander for GDI."
She walked towards the barracks, probably to be de-briefed. GDI truely was starting to become an army.
