Protect Waste Convoys

Protect Waste Convoys is an alternative Nod mission to Establish Nod Presence in the Nod campaign of Tiberian Sun. It nevertheless has the same goal of infecting the GDI base with chemical missiles.

Background
Despite Kane being most disappointed that his most trusted followers Slavik and Oxanna had gotten themselves captured after falling into a GDI trap at the research facility, Kane decided to give them a second chance. He tasked them with testing out the chemical missiles against a GDI stronghold in Europe. Two possible locations were either Germany or Denmark. CABAL noted to Slavik that the chemical missiles with turn any GDI infantry into Visceroids which will then infect the base. Once infected, destroying the base would be "a simple matter".

Insertion
Slavik chose to test the chemical missiles in Denmark. Since Nod did not have a base in the area an MCV was deployed and Slavik established his base of operations from scratch. CABAL told Slavik that the waste convoys would come from the opposite corner of the area, diagonally of Slavik's base, only when a Tiberium Waste Facility was constructed. The road itself was dangerous with GDI defense emplacements at the narrowest points so Slavik had to take those out for the trucks to navigate safely. It wasn't long though for GDI to detect Nod intruders and started attacking the Nod base.

Constructing the Tiberium Waste Facility
As the Orca Bombers and Disruptors proved how dangerous they were against Nod, Slavik countered these with numerous SAM sites for the bombers and the EMP Cannon to disable the Disruptors for the artillery units to pick off. Once the Obelisks of Light were constructed the Nod base was relatively well defended and the situation stabilised.

Slavik soon needed to search and destroy the GDI defenses along the road to clear the way for the Nod waste convoys. Now having access to stealth tanks, they made a reconnaisance of the area, locating those enemy defenses along the cliffs and provided the coordinates for the artillery units to shell. The stealth tanks also came across a couple of GDI outposts and harvesting operations before uncovering the main GDI stronghold. Once all the defense emplacements were destroyed, Slavik constructed the Tiberium Waste Facility.

Convoy arrival
With the completion of the Tiberium Waste Facility, waste convoys soon began arriving in the area. However GDI also noticed and started attacking the convoys on the way to the Nod base. Slavik however used groups of artillery units to shell the attackers and provide cover for the convoys along the road. As the convoys would be arriving regularly until the mission was complete it was essential for the convoys to transport their waste to the facility. While this was going on, Slavik constructed a missile silo to launch the chemical missiles against GDI.

Mass infection
After a while, Nod had enough waste to produce a chemical missile. Slavik decided to test this out against the GDI outposts and refineries, not only to see the effects but also cut off their economy and reinforcements. The effect was slow but satisfying - when detonated the chemical gas eroded the structures and turned GDI infantry into Visceroids, which then ate away the rest of the outposts. But being mindless and aggressive, Visceroids were not able to distinguish between Nod and GDI and would occasionally go for the Nod forces that were near them, forcing the Nod army to destroy them.

Pleased with the results and supplied with more waste, Slavik launched volley after volley of chemical missiles against the GDI stronghold. Soon the base was infected and thus was either eroded away or eaten away by the Visceroids. Such were the results, there was virtually no need for the Nod forces to enter and mop up the remaining GDI structures. Unable to contain the infection within the base, what remained of the GDI forces retreated.

Aftermath
The chemical missiles proved to be a dangerous weapon to GDI and focused their attention to stopping its production and infecting the European continent. At the same time though, GDI was ready to field-test their newest weapon: the Mammoth Mk. II, something that Kane could not ignore.
