Tiberian Birth
Chapter 5
SPACE
The meteor drew ever closer towards Earth. In another 6 days, it will land. In one day, astronomers will find the meteorite and have several people come, to determine where and when, it will land.
INT-TEMPLE OF NOD-ART GALLERY Day 2
Scorpion walked around the art gallery, examining the art, which had been placed as a method to raise morale. He had to say, it worked. Kane was an obvious genious, in the battle field and out. One of Scorpions most trusted men walked up to him.
"Sir. I have found the cause of the explosion when we arrived. It appears that the machine that bought us here blew up. They are trying to repair but, it will take some time."
"Very good, brother. Do me this favour. In six days, we're moving to area 51. I want all of my old unit to aid us. Tell my men."
"Yes, sir. Why are we going to Area 51?"
"To steal whatever technology our enemy have."
"Ok. I spread the word. Oh, and this came in for you. It's the intelligence reports on Area 51 you wanted."
The soldier handed Scorpion a letter and walked off. Scorpion knew he could trust him. He was his most tusted man besides Jarman Kell, he would do the job, without fail. Scorpion read the letter and then started heading towards Kane's office.
INT-TEMPLE OF NOD-KANE'S OFFICE
Kane was sitting at the desk, reading the report on the Iraq takeover. What all of the worlds governments did not know, was that many of the terrorist cells, were secretly part of the brotherhood. Most of the IRA had defected to join Nod, and were awaiting instuctions. A terrorist organisation called the IFF was secretly Nod. The IFF stood for Iraq Freedom Force. The IFF was taking over Iraq by force, so that when the time comes, Nod had complete control over different contries. Iraq, Iran and more. All the worlds super weapons were going to be a threat though, so before the master plan starts, they were going to be disabled. There was a knock at the door.
"Enter."
Scorpion walked in.
"Kane. I have recieved intel that Area 51 has recently been made the headquarters of a new anti-terrorist army. They have upgraded defences, have more men there, than before and more armoured vehicals. I'm going to need some of our new armour. You can consider it a test run for them."
He handed Kane the report. Kane read through it carefully.
"I'll give you the vehicals, but you are to use them wisely. I can only spare a limited amount. Use them as a last resort only. Do I make myself clear?"
"Perfectly."
"According to this report, an old friend of yours is one of the commanders of this army."
Scorpion snatched back the report and read the part on personnel currently on site.
"Him! I'll have him killed while there. He could be a threat."
"Fair enough. But don't let your personal motives get in the way of your mission."
"Understood."
EXT-GDI HQ-CLASSIFIED LOCATION
More armoured vehicals were being delivered to GDI. This time they were being given the chineese nuke artillery. They were also being given stockpiles of grenades and the new repair gun. What really caught most of GDI's attention was the new model MCV. The Mobile Constuction Vehical was a vehical that turned into a construction yard. It could build any building in a matter of minutes. They were all that was needed to build a base, no bulldozers were required. True there were older models, but they had been flawed. This model was supposedly perfect. The UN was permitting GDI to be one of very few armies to use an MCV, the newest model. The UN offical later said that GDI was the only force to use this model. The UN was placing a lot of trust in GDI. New uniforms were handed out later that day. Light infantry were given standerd military helmets, sand coloured shirts with a dark yellow waist coat, dark yellow trousers and standard combat boots, they were armed with the auto rifles. Engineers were given yellow helmets, white shirts, dark grey waist jackets, standard combat boots and light grey trousers, they were equiped with the repair guns and small pistols for defence. Shotgun troopers were given dark yellow bodysuits with kevlar protecting the torso and black helmets with a large yellow visor covering the eyes. Rocket troopers wore the same, only with thicker kevlar and without the helmet. Grenadiers wore light yellow uniforms with a helmet and a small greenish visor. The Commanders and any lower ranking officers wore sand coloured overal with the front of the torso black. Most of the officers used the large chain guns, but Eagle prefared the use of two Desert Eagle .50s. Eagle put on his new uniform. It was confortable, but it was a little stiff. He walked up to one of the UN officals.
"Why's the uniform so stiff?" He asked.
"There's a bit of kevlar in it. Bare with it, it's designed to protect you, whilst looking fairly good."
Eagle looked at this wonder uniform. He noticed an emblen of an eagle swooping down to catch it's prey. He pointed at it.
"What's this?"
"The offical emblen of GDI. Like it?"
"It's ok."
Eagle walked back to the barracks. He stepped in front of the barracks to spy a couple of soldiers raising a flag containing the GDI emblen on the long empty flag pole. He changed his mind and headed towards the science testing grounds. The brains were having one of the chinooks modified. The test pilotswent up to the chinook and started work. Eagle took a look at the mods. The propelers were taken off, the armour had been improved. The way the chopper now flew was the 4 small circular devices at each corner. Hover technology. Clever. The chinook started to take off. It flew in the air for 5 minutes before landing down again. The pilots exited the chinook and gave their report on the performance. Eagle walked into the science building.
INT-R&D RESEARCH CENTER-GDI HQ
Eagle walked up to Einstein. He was viewing the performance of the chinook.
"Einstein?"
"Ja. Vot do you want?"
"To know the performance rates of the new model chinook."
"Ze performance vos perfect."
"Any chance I can use that model as my mobile command center?"
"Vonce ve have at least vone other working model."
"I'll wait for that time. Tell me once I get to use it."
"Ja, Commander."
