Supreme general and commanding chief of all NOD forces Anton Slavic was resting in quarters after a full day of having to deal with a civilian riot. Seems that some of the civilians that supported GDI had convinced some NOD supporters to turn against them and a valuable supply line was crippled because of it. To top things off some mutants decided to show and make their presence known by attack a supply depot at the same time. With out CABAL around it was becoming more and more difficult to stop hot spot confrontation like those. To make things worse the commander held responsible for drawing CABAL's fire while GDI troops attacked him directly was on personal leave and could not be located. The few other commanders that Slavic had allowed to come to a high enough power to defend those areas were engaged in their own fire fights world wide.
Slavic was currently hunched over a data pad reading the daily reports. GDI was getting bolder. They had razed several small bases and a large research facility all in one day. That ION Cannon and their perfected drop pod technology and that blasted Mammoth MK.2
Was making them very troublesome. The more GDI perfected their technology and worked with the shiners the harder they became to counter. Currently their biggest advantage had been their cyborg commandos but ever since CABAL they had to be careful when it came to using the cyborgs. So far they limited them to guard duty in heavily Tiberium poisoned areas due to their natural resistance and their ability to repair them selves while in it. That was a unique feature about them. They actually had small Tiberium collectors on their hands and feet in which their systems would process the raw metals found in it and use it as both fuel and material to repair them selves. The processing is no where near the scale that the refinery is able to process materials at but it works on their scale for repairs effectively recovering them. The biggest fault is that they can't regrow lost limbs. If a leg or hand or torso goes missing they can only recover the remaining parts. How ever unless they are fully disabled they are still very much a threat.
Slavic let out a heavy sigh. Things just refused to go well for him as of late and it was slowly grinding his nerves to a fine line. His patience being reduced a laser-sharpened razor. Suddenly a chirping sound came from his computer console. Sighing again he hit the visual button and was greeted by the sight of the scientist in charge of excavating some old soviet ruins found in Moscow. Slavic thought it might be useful to see if any of the old technology may be able to be integrated somehow into current nod designs. Perhaps with a little luck they might find a way to if nothing else harass GDI with. "What is it? You had better have good news Tassi otherwise I will be very unhappy indeed. Undoubtedly you already know about today's events so please if you value your life keep this brief" snapped Slavic.
Tassi was a short woman standing only about 5'4 with long brown hair that wrapped around her shoulders like a halo and tapered of to a lighter blonde color. She had large bright brown eyes to match. Originally from GDI she defected shortly after an incident where an ion cannon had fired on her town of Brighton over in Colorado. What had happened was that GDI was trying to take out NOD forces in the area and the cannon had actually caused a surface disturbance and collapsed areas of the city where it hit. After that all faith in what she was doing for GDI was gone. Along with her hometown.
"Sir I'm sorry to call like this and I know it's late but I think we may have found something of use here." She stated with out hesitation
"What is it? Another salvageable tank? Plans for another airship? More useless information!" He barked. "No sir. We found the results of a secret black ops project. I think your going to want to come down here sir. This may be our key to stopping GDI. It's a virus sir. But unlike any other virus ive ever seen before. And remarkably this base was found abandoned in the mountains in full working condition. But this virus sir is unbelievable. With this virus we could turn there own into their executioners."
Slavic weighed his options carefully. Finally he spoke." Tassi I'm sending a full force of 36 stealth tanks, 16 tick tanks, several banshees, an MCV and a team of 12 cyborg reapers and a cyborg commando. Along with some mobile stealth generators. If this virus is as astounding as it sounds I want that base secured. If it's not. Then you're soon to be a cyborg slave. But don't worry your humanity will be intact that your can be sure of. Instead of a full conversion I will have neural stimulators installed all over your body and you will be sent to the elite cadre as their personal servant in every way they may want you. Is that understood? I'm not joking so before I send these forces you had better answer me this. Are you willing to take the chance?"
Tassi stared at him in the eyes over the computer terminal and in a cold voice spoke back to him "yes. Yes sir I am"
"Then Tassi prepare you and your men. Reinforcements are on the way"
With that Slavic closed the link and made the necessary orders.
