Tiberian Birth Chapter 4

EXT-TEMPLE OF NOD-SARAJEVO

Jarman Kell, one of the greatest living snipers alive, was testing out his new Ramjet rifle. He had to admit, it was far better than his old sniper rifle. He test fired it on a nearby sheep. The sheep fell down, dead. He hadn't even aimed to kill and the animal still died. This obviously was a very good rifle. He turned around to come face to face with Scorpion, who was watching him.

"In one week, we start. Nod will knock out all the worlds super weapons. I'll be leading an assult on Area 51. Will you be with me? Your skills will be most useful."

"I'll go with you. Nobody is a better sniper than me. Just like old times."

Scorpion smiled. "Just like old times."

SPACE

Unknown to Earth, a large meteorite was heading towards them. At it's current speed, it would hit Earth in 7 days.

EXT-GDI HQ-CLASSIFIED LOCATION Day 1

All the troops were settling into their new home. Ben Huntly was always at the town. Carter was nearly always found training the men or in the barracks. Edwards was always found at the airfields. Locke had already left in the command carrier with a large fleet of ships and an equaly large crew with soldiers to go with them. Sheperd was waiting for his command carrier. Sheperd, being the leader of GDI, had his command carrier modified to look civillian cruise ship, with all weapons hidden and extra thick armour. It had been decided that he should never remain in one location, otherwise an assiasination attempt would be too easy. Traveling the sea, with no visable military presence, was the best way to keep him safe. If he did have to evacuate, he had a modified comanche in the cargo holds. Eagle was rarely ever seen. The few times he was seen, was in the presence of Tanya. No-one knew the history between them and anyone who did know was keeping their lips tightly sealed. Inside the Command Center, the technitions had just finished setting up the new EVA program.

"EVA, what's the current status of GDI?" One of them said.

"GDI currently consists of 4660 soldiers, 62 scientists and 32 non essential personnel. GDI currently has 254 ship out at sea, 141 currently docked, 693 land vehicals, 62 air vehicals. GDI has currently sustained no casulties."

"EVA seems to be working. Activate battle simulation mega 34."

"GDI base under attack. GDI has had 41 casulties. Enemy forces have had 89 casulties. GDI death rate unacceptable, following this cause of action..."

"And stop. All seems to be working well. Try to delete the emotion, it may impare it's abilities. We want the Death rate part, just don't it to give us a bloody lecture about it, we want it to tell us how to improve our stratagy."

The technitions nodded and started to get to work.

EXT-GDI HQ-CLASSIFIED LOCATION

Eagle was walking along the base when he bumped into a soldier. He helped the soldier to his feet.

"Sorry. Whats your name."

"Sir, Captain Jon McNeil. Sir."

"Cut the formalities. They are the thing I hate the most about being in a military organisation."

"Ok."

"What were you in, before coming here?"

"Delta Force. To be quite honest, I like this place better."

"Oh?"

"Don't ask. Many people would say Delta Force is the best place to go, that it's an honour. This place, they pulled people out of Delta Force to come here. This place is funded by the UN, is made up of the best. It's an international force. I...

"I understand. Are you aware that they disbanded the SEALs and shipped them here. The same goes for the SAS. They are putting all of the best here. You have a family?"

"Two sons. Micheal and Jake. You?

"No. I'm just a Nomad. I come and go, sooner or later."

"What about you and Tanya?"

"We're just friends. We fought together in Soviet War 2."

"What's your real name?"

"That information is personnal."

For a moment, Eagle looked upset about something, but then regained his composure.

"Carry on, soldier."

***Authors notes

A bit short but so what.

R+R with NO FLAMING!

After I finish this fic, I'll be doing a novelisation of Tiberian Dawn. I'm looking for a co-writer to write the Nod campain. I do GDI, someone else does Nod. I'd do Nod myself but I've lost the Nod disc. Plus, I've never completed Nod. Weird, considering, I've completed every game I play, TD Nod is the only one uncompleted.

E-mail me at jeteagle25@yahoo.com if your interested in writing the Nod half of Tiberian Dawn
