Westwood is a very popular PC games company. They made the legendary Red Alert
series, and continued by adding Tiberian Sun. The story is listed in 2.1, and
it is a very original and amazing story.
There are no cheats for the game, rather I recommend TibEd, a game editor found
at www.tibed.net and is very reliable. It can edit the whole series of
Command and Conquer, from Red Alert to Tiberian Sun. It can be downloaded and
it is a very safe editor. Other things can be downloaded, but they are the less
reliable sources, and I have not bothered with them.
For those of you that want mission FAQ's, not many of us can help you as there
are so many missions, 14-16 around about for each side. I have completed the
Allies on Red Alert, and nearly the Soviets, but it is so hard, so I might come
back later with a full missions FAQ for the games.
I would also like to make a note that www.ra.afraid.org has some very good
downloads for Red Alert, map packs, saved games, units, buildings, editors
and more. For Red Alert nerds, that is the site to go to.
This FAQ will probably never be final. These games are so big that I will be
adding stuff left right and center. Later on I will write descriptions on
all the maps from Generals and Tiberian Sun, and following it Red Alert 2 and
aftermath. I might add tactics that the enemy uses averagely most of the time,
and depending on circumstances, I might write descriptions for all the maps
that have been created on "www.ra.afraid.org". Any way, enjoy yourself guys.
I have put A LOT of effort into this to make it a very useful FAQ/Guide.

1946 – 1 Year after World War Two ended.
World War Two had only just ended, and although Adolph Hitler was overpowered,
the Allies still suffered a major loss. Perhaps the most bloody war seen by
mankind. Many efforts were made to clear it all up, but because of the war,
many lasting effects continued, such as the oppression, and continued hatred
from Nazi supporters. Around 10 million casualties had been reported overall,
10 million that would still be alive if Adolph Hitler hadn’t been around to
form the Nazi party. Up until now, scientists and philosophers had only
considered bending time a fantasy, but one and a half years after World War One
ended, a genius man named Albert Einstein, discovered the Theory of Relativity,
and in doing so, became the first man to ever gain the understanding of the Time
/ Space continuum. As a reward to his phenomenal achievements, he was given the
opportunity to work with another genius man, a Russian by the name of Nikola
Tesla.
Together they achieved some amazing theories, such as the “Black Project” also
known as the Philadelphia Experiment.
With the Government funding them, Einstein and Tesla conducted a very demanding
experiment based on radar elimination. They had technology to become blind to
radar, but could they make an object also invisible to sight? Nikola Tesla
combined seven large Tesla Coils, arranged in order according to Einstein’s
theory of Relativity. The incredibly powerful bursts of energy were beamed at
USS Eldridge, an average sized battle cruiser. Although the Battle ship was
deemed invisible for seven to eight minutes, scientists would see the horrible
effects of their experiment.
Several of the crew had been decapitated, and some were intertwined or
materialized as part of the ship’s hull. It seemed as if the experiment had
caused a complete breakdown of the Space / Time continuum.
After writing many long reports about what happened during “Black Project”
Einstein changed his idea of making objects disappear, to putting the fantasy
of Time Traveling to the test. With an incredibly large magnetic field and
gigantic amounts of electricity, Einstein could open a controllable wormhole
through which creating a rip in the fabric of Time.
After many hard working years with Nikola Tesla and other colleagues, Einstein
eventually discovered the equation to cause time to flow slower. This also made
what happened in the “Black Project” apparent. Using Black holes, magnetic
fields and electricity, Einstein could achieve something he named
Chronoshifting, or the ability to travel between Time windows.
When Einstein’s theories were confirmed, he stated that there was another motive
involved for his hard work. Because of the effects World War Two had on the
world, Einstein stated that he himself was going back in time to get rid of
Adolph Hitler before he grew to power.
He said: “I have spent many grueling years working on this task. I now ask you,
what would the world be like, had world war two not have happened? I plan to
answer that question, by going back in time myself, and eliminating Hitler
before he grows to power. As a result of my actions, the Jews will have not
died in the awful concentration camps. The naval war between America and Japan
would not have happened.  Next time you see me, it will be without horrific
memories of the last world war.”
And with that Einstein went with Tesla, to calculate the time and place Einstein
would have to materialize. They concluded that they would have to appear in a
place where Hitler’s whereabouts were confirmed.
1924 – Landsberg Germany.
Einstein had decided that he would strike just after Hitler had left Landsberg
prison, and that would be just in a few moments. All Einstein had to do was to
make physical with Adolph Hitler to alter the course of history and render
World War Two non-existent.
Sure enough, Adolph Hitler emerged from Landsberg prison. Einstein approached
Hitler, and said:
“Mister Hitler!”
“Yes? What is it, I don’t have time to be standing around here.” Hitler replied.
“Yes, I understand.” Einstein answered, and offered to shake hands. Hitler took
the offer, and both instantly disappeared.
Einstein returned to 1945 New Mexico, where he had been studying, and Adolph
Hitler had never even existed. This would be the fateful day that changes the
world, as we know it, for the rest of time.
Einstein had appeared in is Chronoshifting laboratory with his assistant
waiting there for him. They both knew that they only had minutes before being
shifted into the new timeline themselves. A room that had become unreal, as for
those last few moments, it was all that was left of the timeline that we tend to
call reality.  The assistant asked ".... did you find him?", in which Einstein
slowly replied: "Hitler is... out of the way...".  The anxiety on the assistants
face was obvious: "Congratulations professor!  With Hitler removed...!".  But he
never got to finish the sentence.  Einstein raised his hand, which silenced his
assistant.  While looking at his old pocket watch, which was apparently going
berserk, he spoke the final words of our reality.
" Time will tell...sooner or later...time will tell... "
1959 – America
After the completion of the Einstein mission, many great things began to change.
GPS became available in the next two to three years; the sophisticated rockets
were understood within 5 years. Satellites were being launched; super computers
were in mass production near the early sixties, all due to the success of the
Einstein mission. Plans for the Philadelphia Experiment was passed on to other
countries in the United Nations, but most importantly, World War Two had never
taken place.
But something occurred to Einstein that may change his ideas about the whole
project. Something that might wind up having drastic results. When he got back
from his trip, he noticed his stopwatch was going haywire, and that on the
watch, time itself had stopped. But it was his ironic statement that would
haunt him in those last moments.
" Time will tell...sooner or later...time will tell... "
Einstein had a gut feeling that what he had done will mark mankind in grave
danger forever.
In the early 1950’s, United Nations noticed that Soviet Republic was becoming a
superpower, and was growing in the technological field faster than anyone had
ever imagined. Within a few short years, the Republic was able to break the
barrier of sound and launch a fully operational nuclear warhead. Under the rule
of Stalin, the Soviet Union would undergo a very noticeable change as they built
up in strength and intelligence.
But it was when Stalin started to bombard Europe with the first attacks, which
United Nations felt they needed to act on it.
Over the next five years, the Soviet Union had blanketed most of Europe in a
“Iron Curtain”.
This war between the Soviet Union and United Nations became later known as the
Great World War II.
By the time Einstein had realized his mistake, the effects of the chronsphere
wore off, and he and his assistant were integrated into the new timeline. The
Iron curtain began to fall on all of Europe and the Allies were left with a
bigger problem than they had ever bargained for. Unlike Hitler’s way of using
concentration camps and press censorship, Stalin took Europe by sheer force.
The Soviet Union had wiped out more than twice the amount Hitler had. More than
3/4 of Europe was left in pure destruction once the Iron Curtain had finished
with it, leaving only Britain, Spain and Portugal to fight for their freedom.
Einstein’s plan to avoid World War II was a failure, as all of Europe was under
Red Alert. United Nations was reluctant to come to the aid of Europe, as it was
a war that could turn worldwide very easily. The technology used by the Soviet
Union was devastating, consisting of V2 rockets (Trucks that launch violently
exploding missiles), MiGs (Planes that can break the sound barrier). It wasn’t
only their quantity that was the best in the world, it was also the quality. The
European Allies (under the rule of German General Gunther Von Esling and Greek
General Nikos Stravos) was a worthy opponent as they managed to battle Soviet
units despite the unimaginable losses of lives and territory, desperately trying
to get the “neutral” United Nations to help them.
Also, having Albert Einstein was a major advantage, as the use of Chronoshift
technology (The technology responsible for this situation) was used as a very
powerful war machine against the Soviets.
Eventually, due to the heroism of Europe holding their ground for so long, and
due to the fact that they realized Europe was only the first step in Stalin’s
eyes, several of the worlds most powerful countries turned against the Soviet
Union, and together they fought until they broke through the last lines of the
Soviets and Stalin was killed at the last siege of Moscow.
It was the early seventies when the Allies had won the war, knowing it had cost
them all but their lives. Europe was wash dry of human lives, as more than 100
million human lives had been extinguished during the war. Not before long,
United Nations had formed a committee that would prevent terrorism and wars on
that scale from ever happening again. Amidst all this, they searched for a man
named Kane, believed to be Stalin’s right hand man.
1988 – Dawn of the Tiberium Age
After the war, the Allies reported casualties to the United Nations, who decided
to put together a committee of delegates from all over the world, mainly United
Nations leaders. This was to be the Peace Corps of today, named Black OPS9. It
was Black OPS9 that signed the form to have the Soviet Union hand over all of
their technology that they used in the Great World War II. The remaining Soviet
Union citizens, eager to make alliances due to United Nations threats, were
believed to have destroyed the most important technologies that they possessed.
United Nations also continued reviewing and assessing documents salvaged from
the Soviets for nearly 6 years to gain knowledge on potential enemy threats and
intelligence to make Black OPS9 more efficient. Each country involved in United
Nations contributed to the funding of Black OPS9 and each countries military
leader was in charge. Black OPS9 was originally a secret organization, but
because of civil wars and the odd terrorist attack, Black OPS9 made itself
more and more visible.
Naturally, mass media tried to get itself involved with BO 9 (Black OPS9) and
OGE (Operations Group Echo) and started twisting it into stories related to
aliens and UFO’s. Although the UN continued to say that there was no secret
organization, trying to hide the truth while such matters were leaking out was
becoming more and more difficult. It would be the Desert Storm operation that
revealed BO 9, OGE and their purpose in the special organization peace unit.
When the international media discovered the attempted assassination on Saddam
Hussein in 1985 failed and resulted in a large number of OGE deaths, first
stories in the paper or in the news caused a catastrophe. Nevertheless, the UN
soon took over the press and limited the amount of information of BO 9 and OGE.
In 1995, United Nations Global Defense Act (UNGDA) renamed the Operations Group
Echo “Global Defense Initiative” (GDI).
New regulations were formed, and information on GDI’s purpose and activities
were released to the public, and trust in UN was restored.
Not long after the Global Defense Initiative was formed, a strange meteor
impacted on earth near the Tiber River in Italy. A man named Doctor Mobius, a
highly qualified research biologist, analyzed the meteor, and found it was home
to an alien like plant. He took a sample back to his lab for it to undergo a
series of tests. Once Dr. Mobius had sampled the plant for it’s chemical
make-up, Mobius saw the intense danger he and the rest of the world could be in.
He watched as the plant visibly grew and mutated. Within 10 days of plant one
seed in a 10 meter square garden, it had nearly completely covered the whole
garden, top to bottom. The scientists working on the project wondered at the
origins of the plant. But it was the strange deaths of some of Mobius’
colleagues that really started to frighten him. While taking root samples in
the garden, the scientists had mutated until they died, growing some alienated
features that even the strongest stomach couldn’t help but revolt.
It seemed that Tiberium (named after the Tiber River) excreted highly toxic
gases that had the potential of causing an unstable chemical build-up of any
living organism. This resulted in severe mutation, which had killed Mobius’
fellow workers. Mobius discovered though, that Tiberium was composed of
inorganic material, and that it was a non-carbon based life form like the rest
of the animal kingdom. The mutation is caused by the physical interaction with
non-carbon and carbon based life forms. The possibilities of Tiberium are
endless, because it can grow anywhere there’s a mineral deposit. Literally the
whole Earth is affected, apart from the pole and desert regions. There are four
types of Tiberium, Vinifera, Riparius, Aboreus, and Cruentus.
Riparius is the most common, a neon green colour with less strong effects on
mutation. It is, however the fastest growing plant and gives of enduring effects
of toxic gas. Vinifera is a more mature life form than Riparius, and has
stronger effects of mutation. Its worth is more than Riparius but is harder to
harvest. It has a light bluish colour. Aboreus is rather like Vinifera, but the
effects are less strong on life forms. It will however react to solid metals,
so artillery is forced to avoid Tiberium Aboreus. Cruentus is the strongest
form of Tiberium yet discovered, basically rearranging your genetics as fast as
up to 2 minutes. It grows large blue crystals and is extremely hard to process.
The composition table can be found below.
Composition:
42.5 %    Phosphor
32.5 %    Iron
15.25 %    Calcium
5.75 %    Copper
2. 5 %    Silica
1. 5 %    Unknown material
Gas composition
22 %     Methane
19 %     Sulphur
12 %    Naphthalene
10 %    Argon
6. 5 %    Isobutane
1. 5 %    Xylene
27 %     Unknown gases
By the time Dr. Mobius and his team had realized the dangers of Tiberium, it
was reported to have slowly but surely spread over all the southwest countries
in Europe. Then they decided it was too late to warn the world about the dangers
of Tiberium, it wasn’t the shortage of time that stopped him, it was that
Tiberium soaked the minerals out of the ground like a sponge, large dangerous
crystals full of the enriched minerals. Trying to halt Tiberium would be like
trying to stop a rearing bull with your little finger. Then, out of the blue,
an organization began releasing information to the press explaining how they
have been studying Tiberium ever since it arrived, and that they’ve discovered
a unique way to harvest the plant at minimal mining expense. United Nations
recognized this plant to be of incredible economical value, and harvesting it
not only would decrease the amount of Tiberium, but make extreme amounts of
wealth from it as well.
Immediately this organization began leasing it’s equipment to the highest
payers, mainly the United Nations Countries, but made sure it kept it’s high
ranking position as the leader of Tiberium Harvesting Incorporation (THI). As
the Tiberium industry grew, many more country leaders began buying harvesting
equipment from this mysterious organization. Soon after the processing of
Tiberium began, it out weighed the value of gold and oil together six fold. As
the business grew, THI changed their named to the Brotherhood of Nod, led by
none other than Kane himself.
2000 – Brotherhood of Nod
The discovery of Tiberium was basically the beginning of a new age for the
world. It brought about massive changes in the stock markets, gold and oil
being shunted down for the lowliest of buyers. The Tiberium crystal was rated
the most wanted of all sellable items. It provided a new resource for countries
and continents that were without a lot of resources before as Tiberium grew
literally anywhere with a stable mineral supply. It was when Tiberium nearly
completed its reign on the whole planet when organizations like GDI and UNGDA
started to see the other side of Tiberium. Tiberium related deaths numbered
more than thirteen hundred thousand a year. Ninety thousand were due to
mutations. Ten thousand were due to severe brain damage. The other Thirty
thousand were addicted to the Tiberium drug ephantalene, and died from heart
failure.
However, there was nothing GDI could do but to study the origins of Tiberium.
Mobius’ objections to the harvesting of Tiberium were “taken under advisement”
or otherwise, completely ignored. Caring more for its value than its fatalities,
the world turned blind to the dangers of Tiberium.
One debate that still outlasted was the origins of Tiberium. While a meteor
impact seemed a normal event, scientists still theorized that it was sent by
intelligent alien species. Some say to weaken our defences, some say that the
aliens didn’t know we existed, and sent it to fertilise the world ready for
their coming. Some even say that Tiberium was the alien itself. Among the wild
thoughts and ideas, the Brotherhood of Nod claimed it was a gift from heaven to
help us fight against the tyranny of the United Nations Office. Kane, the
missing link in the Soviet Unions war against Europe, said he was a prophet sent
by God, to lead the world into a glorious Tiberium future.
The Tiberium brought changes in technology, economics, politics and environment.
Everyone started to look at Nod as the founder of all these advances, even more
so than Tiberium itself. In the eyes of Nod, Tiberium had turned from a curse
into a blessing, and Nods popularity around the world began increasing rapidly
throughout the whole world. However, while the Brotherhood of Nod was welcomed
into the world warmly, a number of important intelligence agencies such as
Interpol made some disturbing discoveries about Nod. The brotherhood apparently
had close relationships with wealthy and anti-UN groups all over the world.
Because of this, UNGDA has been closely monitoring Nod’s activities ever since
they discovered the Tiberium Harvesting technology in the mid 90’s.
Nod’s connections to dangerous groups in poorer parts of the world could mean
that Nod was trying to get a hold of people all over the world, much like
Hitler’s strategic foothold. However, this theory was a worst-case scenario,
and considering that Nod’s dark connections to light would also mean exposing
America and Europeans manufacturing weaponry for the Brotherhood of Nod. All
UN could do was to let Nod keep on doing what it was doing, they had no
legitimate reason to stop it.
Slowly but surely, United Nations’ worst case scenario became a reality.
By 2008, Nods influence covered United States, Canada, Russia, Germany, China,
France, Japan, Mongolia, Korea, Turkey and India. Only 19 % of the worlds
population were now either neutral or United Nations.
2010 – Revolution
Every day, more than 300 people on average converted to the Nod religious
views. United Nations was beginning to realize the situation they were in.
UN politicians were stunned when Kane revealed himself as the mastermind
behind The Great World War II. Some called him bluff, but the profile matched.
The only Soviet Union leader they never found was the man crippling UN every
day. Kane started to accuse the UN of all the misery mankind has seen, for
attempting to halt the harvesting of Tiberium, and for trying to make us believe
in what they believe.
In those few statements, UN’s popularity dropped from hardly any to what might
as well be none. Kane was pictured as a messiah for his wisdom at the UN’s
apparent betrayal to the world. As Kane’s intelligence and charisma became
undeniable to the world, high ranking citizens and professors offered all of
their knowledge and possessions to the Brotherhood of Nod.
Knowing that their situation was serious, UN tried to gain back popularity by
spreading false information about the Brotherhood in the media, but when these
efforts failed Kane’s response was terrifying.
Several of UN’s most trusted politicians and officials turned out to be
Brotherhood followers, keeping Kane posted with all the anti-Nod proposals and
scandals. Kane also periodically sent information regarding the personal lives
of UN officials to the media, a sick success at embarrassing UN. The
consequences for the UN were phenomenal. They lost credibility everywhere; with
countries situations becoming so critical the local army wasn’t enough to keep
them in control. While some officials were forced to step down, others were
involved in bombings, explosions, and even assassinated by their own bodyguards
that appeared to be a part of Kane’s movement as well.
Funded by huge Tiberium businesses, Kane built up his religious army and started
taking over the remaining UN loyal countries, mainly in the south pacific. And
when UN’s strongest supporter defected to Kane’s alliance, UN decided that Nod
had to be wiped out immediately. Over a large worldwide broadcast, UN declared:
“We have seen enough of religious defection. This man you call the Messiah,
is the greatest danger mankind could have lived to see. I…Colonel Socrates am
officially ordering Global Defence Initiative, to liberate the countries Kane
has hypnotised by any means necessary.”
With those words, GDI set out to do the impossible.
2019 – The First Tiberium war
UN was very aware, that should GDI not be able to handle Nod, nothing would
stop Kane from leading the whole world.
Although it wasn’t as large as the Great World War II, it still caused human
slaughtering beyond all imagination. Looking back to that history, although
Kane doesn’t have the mass military production Stalin had, but Stalin was never
nearly the danger Kane is now. “Where Stalin was an aggressor bent on conquering
land, Kane was bent on conquering the human spirit.” (Extract from FAQ by
Kevcat).
A year or two into the war, all hell broke loose in Europe and Africa. The
Brotherhood of Nod turned out to be a heavily armed military corporation and
used very well trained soldiers, and because it was funded by the huge amount
of Nod countries, Nod was able to use very advanced weaponry. Stealth Generators
casted a shield around a limited area, basically making anything in the
proximity invisible. It soon became clear that GDI was having much more
difficulty in controlling Nod than the UN had ever anticipated. As Nod
continued to research Tiberium, Nod fought back with never seen before weaponry
and tactics. Kane sent false information out to the press ruining GDI’s image.
Soon, Kane had the masses criticizing GDI and the UN. Loyalty to UN in the
world had fallen below 5 % of the worlds population, and UN came to the
conclusion that they could not overcome this genius man who had literally the
whole world at his hands. It was when Nod declared that they were going wipe
out the town of Beoulistock when GDI decided to evacuate the town. A reporter
went with them to film what had happened, so GDI might be able to gain some
reputation back. But the UN was stunned to find that the reporter was a member
of the Brotherhood, who broadcasted that GDI had obliterated the town of
Beoulistock. UN was forced to stop funding GDI, who had suffered the major blow
of defeat. GDI officers were forced to be monitored by the Security Council,
who were swiftly killed by the Nod men in disguise.
What Kane was unaware of however, was that UN had faked its no-funding contract,
and continued to fund GDI. Quietly, GDI built up outposts and strong bases
throughout strategic points. Within weeks, Nod was less and less aggressive
towards GDI activity. Surprised overconfident Nod officers and soldiers found
GDI bases working well and heavily armed, and GDI was able to outsmart Kane for
the first time. Two years later, and GDI had attacked with full force, and
limited the large Nod bases down to 10-12. It was then, when GDI got the
advantage they were seeking. They had found photos of Kane’s recent locations.
He was in a Tiberium research facility near Yugoslavia, testing the effects of
Tiberium drugs on human guinea pigs of all ages, trying to create a new super
soldier.
But short in manpower and equipment, GDI decided to send a small group of elite
troops under the command of an Afro-American Kyle Solomon. He was perhaps the
greatest commander UN ever saw.
GDI had only one real advanced weapon, the Ion cannon. About 20 Ion cannons now
orbit around the Earth; it has a very destructive laser beam that can vaporize
a few buildings in the blast radius. The only drawback however is the long
recharge period. For the first time, Ion cannons were used to break the strong
defences at Yugoslavia so GDI troops could penetrate the heavily armed base.
What they found in the Tiberium research facility was never disclosed, but even
hardened heart soldiers suffered psychological trauma when they entered the room
where innocent civilians had been tested on. Kane was nowhere to be found.
GDI chased the remaining Nod followers out of the Eastern European countries,
and found another Nod base in Poland, with a strange structure that Nod
followers called the Temple of Nod. This building was not only Kane’s centre of
operations for the war; it was also the creation of NBC (nuclear, biological,
chemical) weaponry. The only thing preventing Kane from using this powerful
weaponry was the media. Now Kane was losing however, he would jump at the
chance to launch some of these weapons of mass destruction. Solomon ordered the
Ion cannon to destroy the heart and mind of the Brotherhood of Nod
In the end it was a complete clash between Solomon’s elite force and Kane’s
private guard that lasted for nearly three days. When Kane’s last defence was
crippled, GDI forces locked down the Temple of Nod with Kane inside, and waited
for the Ion cannon to blow it to hell. The last images Solomon ever saw of Kane
was him welcoming the Ion blast with open arms and a cruel smirk on his face.
Those images would come to haunt Solomon for years. The first Tiberium war was
finally over, as without Kane as leader, Nod forces broke in no time.
2028 – The Aftermath.
Tiberium was near to populating every possible mineral bearing place, and deaths
were still rated higher than births. Speaking of births, more and more were
becoming deformed as the effects of Tiberium spread around the whole world.
Small Nod loyalists were still fighting against GDI, but the UN had no problem
in extinguishing those sorts of actions against humanity. But GDI was fighting
another battle that they knew they could not win. GDI and the UN knew that they
either had to get Tiberium out of the way, or get the civilians out. UNGDA
commissioned a multi-billion dollar project to evacuate all affected civilians
to regions like deserts or poles without a liable mineral source. GDI
constructed a large orbital space station; named Philadelphia to keep
high-ranking UN, UNGDA, and GDI officials away from the Tiberium infested Earth.
Any person infected with a slight Tiberium related disease or infection was
strictly prohibited from boarding Philadelphia much to the unpopularity of the
public. A year and a half had gone by before the worlds population
(numbering between 15 and 16 million) was replaced in safe colonies mostly in
the Sahara desert and Antarctica.
Then suddenly, September 2, 2030, General Solomon received a transmission from
none other than Kane. This was the conversation that started the second Tiberium
war.
“I am cut, Why not bleed. it would be a sad error of judgement to mistake me for
a corpse.”
“My judgement is sound, Kane. I’m not afraid of ghosts or you.”
“Perhaps you should be. As you see the battle just starting to unfold, I’ve
already seen the final act; it is my destiny...to lead mankind into a new
Tiberium age”
“Mankind has forgotten you Kane,”
“Hahahahahahaha…”
(Extract from game Tiberian Sun)
The second war began to unfold, and although Nod had nearly fully recuperated,
GDI still managed to push back the outer defences. It was then when things
started to go wrong. A strange UFO (later called a scrin ship) crash-landed near
a Nod facility in Madrid, Spain. GDI immediately tried to investigate, but Nod
was not so easily shunted away. Knowing they would not be able to investigate
the UFO, tried to destroy it. GDI put up a good fight however, and a field
commander by the name of McNeil was the first one to discover the delicate
cargo inside. Human at first sight, the only difference was the bright green
tattoos on their bodies, and the illuminating green eyes. McNeil escaped with
the only surviving aliens, a young woman named Umagon, her crewmember Tratos
and Oxanna. The GDI transport only just left when a multi-cluster missile
obliterated what was left of the scrin ship.
Back at Philadelphia, Umagon revealed to GDI that their colony had accidentally
sent the meteor of Tiberium to earth when the coordinates turned out to be
wrong. By the time their scientists had discovered the faults, the meteor was
ready to launch. Immediately, they began a mission to follow the meteorite to
see where it had gone.
They were genetically similar to humans, until Tiberium was biologically
manufactured and spread over the world, much like it did here. Unlike our earth,
they grew immune to the mutation they underwent, making them genetically
stronger, more intelligent and faster. They could push themselves further than
humans, and proved themselves to be far more effective fighters than GDI
soldiers. The mutants offered their recourses and abilities to GDI, and it was
their help that knocked Nod head over heels. The mutants were able to survive
the effects of chemical and biological missiles. The mutants were the key to
GDI’s complete take over of the Nod situation. Yet it was still 10 years before
Nod was completely cleansed from the Earth.
Within 15 years, the minerals in the Earth began to run out, and Tiberium began
to die out. Tiberium’s value on the trade markets dropped and gold and oil took
up the reigning position again. Even though the Tiberium was gone by 2050, the
world was left, sucked dry of all the minerals. Rainforests had been reduced to
sandy dunes, lakes were dried out, but worst of all, the worlds population had
been reduced to no more than 14 million people, all because of the problems
Tiberium caused. Humans tried many fugal attempts at growing forests and mineral
enriched places, but it would take decades before any hopes of living on Earth
safely became possible. But meanwhile, humans had to make do with orbiting space
stations and colonisations.
GDI grew back its popularity to almost 97 %. Naturally, the UN couldn’t stop
terrorism 100 %, but by the time Earth was inhabitable again and the population
was back up to the billions, the world was pretty much the way it if Einstein
had not gone back in time and changed the future. Speaking of Einstein, we
depart with a relevant quote:
“Time will tell…sooner or later…Time will tell.”
