Tiberian Birth
Chapter 8
INT-TEMPLE OF NOD-LIVING QUARTERS Day 5
Moral was high. Troops were starting too leave the Temple for the Brotherhoods for the missions that were being issued to more and more soldiers. Many had requested to remain as Temple guards. Each and every person was being given some form of a job. The tv in the hall switched to the news. "This just in. A meteorite is heading towards Earth. Experts say that it will colide with the Earth in two days. It is unknown where it will land. It is estimated that it will land somewhere in Europe. We'll report more when we later..."
All the soldiers started talking about this turn of events. A meteo? Crashing on Earth? The only person who didn't gossip about this was Kane, who was frowning. "It's too soon." He muttered to himself, before walking to his private chamber.
EXT-CARGO PLANE-50 MILES TO AREA 51
All the troops and vehicals exited the cargo planes. Scorpion streched, glad to leave the clustrophobic conditions of the air craft. Scorpion's comm. officer walked up to him. "Sir. Top priority transmission from Kane."
Scorpion took the comm. unit and looked at Kane's image. "Kane, we've just landed 50 miles west of Area 51. It'll take us another day to get there at least."
"As soon as you get there Commander, attack whenever you feel necessary. There's been a change of plan. The attack must be as soon as possible."
"Sir? I'll attack tomorrow at midnight. Why the change of plan?"
"Theyve acted too soon. Unless we are ready soon, all we've worked for will be lost."
"They?"
"They. You'll find out soon enough."
EXT-GDI HQ-CLASSIFIED LOCATION
Eagle walked towards the bridge down to the town. He was hoping to stay there for a while. If he was fast enough, no-one'll notice him. No such luck. "Hey, Eagle."
"Piss off."
"Hey. I only want to talk."
"And I only want you to piss off."
"It's about your commando unit."
"Look. I've got all the commandos I need, now FUCK OFF."
"You don't have a pilot."
"For the love of god. What's it take to get rid of you?"
"You don't remember me?"
"Should I?"
"Well... I was the squad leader."
"Of what squad?"
"Squad 4."
"The harrier squadren of the second Soviet War?" "Yup. I'd like to be your elite pilot, if it's ok with you."
"Shit. I commanded you through the war, yet I fail to recognize you. Err... Sure, welcome abord."
"Thank you. Now I'll leave you be." The pilot walked back to the barracks. Eagle looked around and after comfirming that there was nobody else around, walked down the bridge, to the town.
INT-TEMPLE OF NOD-SCIENCE LABS
Kane walked into the labs. One of the scientists ran up to him, excited. "Sir, we've manged the modify the chrono tanks chrono device. It can now travel time. Attach it to a vehical, you can continue your time recruiting, on a small scale, of course."
Kane looked at the small boxlike object on the table. "Attach it to the Montauk."
"Sir."
Kane considered this. The Montauk could be a useful vehical in times of need. Hopefuly it won't be needed.
SPACE
The meteor drew ever closer. It seemed to have a will of it's own. Like it was created to crash into the human planet. It may very well have been.
