A nuclear power once again:

Excerpt from a message to the Brotherhood
"...the Brotherhood of Nod has once again become a nuclear power. We shall have to use our nuclear warheads and delivery systems to wipe our enemies off the face of the Earth...”

KANE IS ALIVE!

Message to the Brotherhood of Nod
I have not abandoned you, children of Nod. I know that recent events have been unsettling: this war against the GDI taking an unexpected turn, the destruction of the Prime Temple, my period of absence, Killan’s betrayal, the arrival of the Visitors… Your faith has once again been put to the test, but I am convinced it has not wavered.
Know that everything is unfolding as I had planned. The light of a new day shines across the world.
Unfortunately, further trials await us before we fulfil our destiny. I ask you to keep the faith and obey. Let us all march together towards a bright future.

The sacrosanct towers:

Order of priority
The Visitors are divine instruments. They are not of divine right, but are divine by virtue of what they do for us, namely building the sacred towers right in the heart of our red zones. The Visitors remain hostile because they do not know what they are doing. Their vision is limited and they are unaware of the role they play in this project, which is beyond their comprehension.
No member of the Brotherhood may take hostile action against the sacred sites where the towers stand. You have the right to defend yourselves in the event of aggressive behaviour on the part of the Visitors, but not to attack them.
Be aware that the GDI is conducting military operations against the Visitors worldwide. As long as they are engaging the Visitors, they are serving our cause. But if they attack the towers, intervene immediately and protect these sacred structures.
These towers are the Brotherhood’s new homes; their importance and significance are paramount. Cherish them as you cherished the temple.

The Key to the Future: Part II

‘New transmission’
Source: Kane
Priority: ultra-high
Procedure: November-Kilo-2
One of our sacred towers is almost complete. This magnificent structure rises high into the sky above the Mediterranean Red Zone. Once the Visitors have finished building it, no weapon known to man will be able to destroy this tower. We must do everything in our power to ensure that this sacred site is not defiled by the GDI whilst the Visitors complete their work.
This tower is our passport to the stars. It is the key to the future. We must protect it at all costs.

Tiberium Spike:

Extract from the Brotherhood’s Operational Combat Guide
Capture Tiberium reserves in your theatre of war to provide logistical support for combat operations. These Tiberium processing units are deployed in their hundreds across the yellow and blue zones. Send a Saboteur to a reserve to seize it. As this unit extracts Tiberium from underground deposits before processing it on site, your forces will benefit from a constant flow of resources.

Nod’s Tactical Doctrine:

Extract from the Brotherhood’s Operational Combat Manual
"...Nod’s operational doctrine states that commanders must control the tempo of combat operations and avoid any direct contact with the enemy until ideal conditions are in place. Stealth, speed, mobility, force composition and operational flexibility are the keys to success...”

Tiberium Refinery and harvesting operations:

Extract from the Brotherhood’s combat logistics guide
Modular Tiberium Refineries can be set up quickly and efficiently on site thanks to the latest Tiberium processing technology. This new generation of harvesters is not only faster but is also undetectable thanks to an on-board stealth device. You will be able to harvest resources right under the enemy’s nose whilst GDI technicians tear their hair out trying to understand how the Tiberium can simply vanish
Peace through force.

The Amazon’s weapons:

Priority: Monarch
Procedure: Québec-Romeo-1
Evacuation options for convoys transiting the Amazonian Desert have been reduced due to GDI long-range Artillery positions. Convoys such as the Sand Viper, the Spearhead and the Bush Master are to hold at Echo, Sierra and Bravo waypoints until further notice. Escorts will establish security perimeters around each convoy.
You will be notified as soon as the GDI installations have been neutralised.

Transport request:

Extract from the Brotherhood’s Combat Operations Manual
When an air unit becomes operational at a Nod base, most ground units in the vicinity gain the ability to request Transport. They can then request via radio that a Troop Crawler come and collect them from the battlefield. The Troop Crawler will deploy, collect the unit and transport it to a target destination. Be careful not to expose your Troop Crawlers too much to enemy anti-aircraft units: they are highly vulnerable and, if they are fully loaded, you risk losing the units they are carrying.

"...before dying, the subject confirmed that the GDI’s Special Weapons Detachment in Oceania was to transfer the nuclear warheads from the Broken Hill base to a location on the outskirts of Sydney. Several nuclear warheads will be transported by convoy and escorted by armed GDI units. The yield of the nuclear warheads has not been specified, but it could be in the region of 100 to 300 kilotonnes. The date, time and route are as follows..."

Assessment of the Oceanian theatre:

Nod Intelligence Report, March 2046
The GDI, much like the Brotherhood, is conducting large-scale operations in Australia. This region will inevitably become a major theatre of war once the offensive against the GDI begins. Killian Qatar has personally overseen operations in Oceania, notably the construction of a regional command centre at Ryers Rock and the establishment of several underground bases in remote areas of Australia. The Oceania infantry and armoured divisions have trained rigorously over the past three years and have been using locally manufactured weapons and equipment at a sustained rate. When the time comes, the Brotherhood’s Oceanian forces will answer the call.

A global invasion on the horizon:

Extract from daily intelligence reports in Oceania
"...the Visitors have launched savage attacks on the GDI and Nod, as well as Civilian targets, across the globe. The latest major enemy activity has been recorded near the borders with the Red Zones and in major urban centres. Fortunately for the Brotherhood of Nod, the major cities are mainly located in the Blue Zone. It is therefore the GDI strongholds that have been hardest hit...”

Ceasefire Order:

“Start of transmission”
Source: Oceania HQ, Crotale Unit
Priority: Abel
Procedure: Charlie-Juliette-4
All commanders in Oceania must cease offensive operations against GDI military units tonight at 23:00. A provisional “temporary ‘ceasefire’ will come into effect until further notice. The commanders concerned are to conduct joint operations with the GDI against the Visitors in the Oceania theatre of war. The Crotale Unit will contact the intelligence and liaison officers of the assigned Oceania units. “End of transmission”
Any violator of the ceasefire will be executed on the spot.

Extract from the signal intelligence instructions:

Extract from the signal intelligence instructions for the Oceanian theatre
...the secure communications network has been compromised in the Oceania theatre of war. Data and audio recordings have been transmitted by an unknown source, resulting in new operational directives being issued without the knowledge of theCrotale unit. Commanders are following unauthorised orders which are causing confusion and could jeopardise our provisional alliance with the GDI...

The alliance is over:

‘GDI transmission intercepted’
…Nod has launched combat operations against GDI forces in the Oceanic theatre and they have caught us off guard. The alliance of convenience is therefore over, and all GDI units present in the Oceanic theatre are authorised to retaliate. How could we have been so naive? Let’s resume the fight and wipe them out of this theatre of war...

The towers are starting to fall:

Priority: ultra-high
Procedure: Delta-November-3
GDI strike teams have attacked and destroyed the Visitors’ towers in several red zones, and their demolition operations are continuing to intensify. They began with the tower in Rome and are now They are stepping up strikes across all countries. Kane needs at least one tower to be completed. The Basilisk command team is assessing the situation and will decide on the strategy to ensure that at least one tower is preserved.

Combat Report – Alien Gravity Stabilizer:

Alien technology recognised. Connection established
Transmission received:
Source: Sirius 57 Alpha
Priority: vermilion
Procedure: Fox-trot-Oscar-8
SECTION 93 INTELLIGENCE REPORT
- Alpha-22 Stealth Squadron deployed against the enemy operational theatre in Zone II, on the front line. Coordinates Golf-9-Kilo-5. Mission: to retrieve all radiological data on the Visitors’ Type 8 structure in order to understand its primary functional capability. Arrived at 02:00 hours under cover, 320 metres from the target. Receivers deployed and data collected for approximately 19 hours before the ‘track’ patrol’ patrol trapped the squadron. Six of the eight squadron members were eliminated whilst attempting to escape. Another succumbed to his injuries shortly afterwards. - An initial analysis of the data collected shows that the Type 8 structure acts as a Gravity Stabilizer to counterbalance the powerful Gravity Fields generated by terrestrial bodies. This obviously enables the alien spacecraft to carry out short, highly precise teleportations within the Earth’s magnetic and gravitational fields. Gravity Stabilizers only appear in secure zones where alien operations are concentrated.
- According to our observations, the Visitors’ spacecraft that use the Gravity Stabilizer include units known as the “Stormriders”, ‘Planetary Assault Units’ and ‘Devastator Warships’. These craft appear to enter the operational zone using the Gravity Stabilizer, before moving into surrounding regions to reach their targets. Recommendation: prioritise the destruction of Gravity Stabilizers in combat zones. In neutral zones, disable them by sabotaging the Reactors to delay the deployment of the enemy’s main combat units.
Note: Type 8 structures are now referred to as “Gravity Stabilizers”.

The Brotherhood of Nod:

Excerpt from a Nod briefing for new recruits
Welcome to the Brotherhood of Nod. You have just joined a new world order comprising millions of members working in harmony to unite the world in the name of peace and to unlock humanity’s true potential.
Our stance on Tiberium has often been misunderstood. Our enemies would have us forget that the roots of our faith are ancient and that they originated long before the green crystal emerged on Earth in 1995... in accordance with the predictions of our great leader, Kane.
Whilst the fascist-leaning political consortium known as the GDI was concealing the truth about Tiberium, the Brotherhood did everything in its power to get its hands on samples of the precious crystal… to study it and to reveal its potential as an alternative energy source. Through our research and our faith, we can proclaim that Tiberium is the ultimate gift to humanity. It is the key to our future.
Our movement is growing rapidly as Tiberium spreads across the Earth. The mainstream media have labelled us ‘Terrorists’, but we have proved to the whole world that it is the GDI that deserves that label. They have unilaterally redrawn all international borders, relegating all Nod supporters to the inhospitable yellow zones… whilst claiming all the pristine, fertile blue zones for themselves.

Nod’s place in the world:

Taken from a pamphlet on the Yellow Zones
The Nod is the champion of the righteous and the eternal enemy of the corrupt oppressors of the GDI.
The Brotherhood of Nod fights for the people – for the 80 per cent of the world’s population struggling to survive in the Yellow Zones, ravaged by war, shattered by poverty and abandoned by the GDI. Using Tiberium to fuel and fund its efforts, Nod works tirelessly to restore order amidst the chaos. We make the streets safer, distribute food to those who are hungry, provide emergency medical care, help those in need of comfort, and instil hope in the hearts of those who would have none without us.
The GDI wants the whole world to believe that they are the Guardians of the world and the saviours of humanity, but they are neither. The GDI is both corrupt and unjust: 20 per cent of the world’s population consists of the wealthiest people, who live in the blue zones, consuming the majority of the world’s natural resources and building up their military power to maintain the status quo by depriving people like us of our divine right to harvest and exploit Tiberium.
The powerful oppress the poor, in the name of a pseudo-freedom that only they endorse. The only answer to the GDI is embodied by the Brotherhood of Nod. Nod responds to force with force in the name of peace and progress. Nod is the only hope against the tyranny of the GDI. Brotherhood of Nod… Unity… Peace.

Ground-based control of the GDI’s A-SAT systems:

Taken from a top-secret intelligence report from Kane’s inner circle. The inner circle has long lived in fear of GDI space domination. The GDI’s orbital weapon platforms, command and control stations, and Spy Satellites are protected by a powerful anti-missile system that appears invulnerable. This orbital network of destruction and death relies on a combination of kinetic weapons, lasers and even Ion Cannons, used to intercept and destroy missiles fired by the GDI’s enemies. The GDI’s space assets have long been beyond Nod’s reach, suggesting that the balance of power between the two factions over several decades had now been secured by the GDI.
But that was without reckoning with the skill of our men, who have found a flaw in the GDI’s seemingly impenetrable system. For reasons unknown, the GDI has installed the Ion Cannon Control Centers and R-SAT defences right here on the ground, on our good old Earth. And there’s even better news: all their personnel and equipment are concentrated in a single complex in the Blue Zone in the north-east of the American continent. With a surprise attack on the Goddard Space Centre, we could take out all the GDI’s Ion Cannons and R-SAT defences, which would give us days, or even weeks, to wage war across the entire planet, safe from their space-based strike capabilities and control.
And the icing on the cake is that the GDI’s primary Command Hub is located on the Philadelphia space station. A missile strike on the Philadelphia immediately following the destruction of their R-SAT systems would give us the opportunity to eliminate all of the GDI’s forces and command structures.

The Exodus of the Mutants:

Excerpt from “Constance Fitchaven, Reflections and Feelings”, holographic briefing of 28 May 2043
Six long years have passed since the once-thriving mutant nation vanished into the abandoned lands overrun by Tiberium. Their voluntary and tragic exile continues to this day. And today, as humanity struggles to find its place in a world that grows sicker by the day, our thoughts turn once more to our horribly disfigured fellow human beings: who were they, and why did they leave? In a gesture of goodwill towards the mutant population, G-330X housing modules were deployed on the fringes of the red zones in 2042. We have since received reports indicating that the mutants have taken refuge in these modules.
