Temple of Nod (Renegade)

The Temple erected by the Brotherhood in Cairo was the one infiltrated by Captain Nick Parker in an effort to rescue Dr. Sydney Mobius. It differed from the Sarajevo headquarters in appearance mainly in that it didn't have an archway over the entrance. Otherwise, however, it was exactly same as the Sarajevo Temple, though the first two levels sustained significant damage and even had large holes in the floor.

It was comprised of an above ground structure and three underground levels housing the main facilities. An additional underground level was claimed to have been found by Parker, but his claims couldn't be verified, as the temple was destroyed.

Allegedly, the Temple was built over the site of the original Brotherhood temple from ancient times. The Cairo Temple also housed Project ReGenesis' main research facility, and Templars, superior results of the project's augmentation procedures, were inhabiting the facility in great numbers.

Ground level
The structure extending above ground housed the main hall - a long, wide hallway, ending in a row of screens showing various videos, images and TV programs from around the world. The ceiling was composed of red stained glass panels adorned with the Brotherhood's insignia. In the part towards the back, the top level of the nuclear missile silo was accessible through a pair of blast doors.

The construction of this level was strong enough to withstand a direct Ion Cannon hit and remain standing, despite massive damage. However, it did not protect anyone standing in the hallway from the blast itself, as experienced by Kane, who arrived in a similar hall from the depths of the Sarajevo temple just prior to the Ion Cannon strike, ordered by General Solomon of GDI.

Underground level 1
The level just below was where Kane's Netrunners worked - three virtual reality machines that tapped into the net were housed behind a sliding video screen wall. They acted as interfaces for the hackers, who almost managed to obtain full access to the Global Defense Initiative's Orbital Defense Matrix.

This level was also the place where the main war room of the facility was located - it consisted of a large situation table and several wall video screens, presenting the current world-wide situation. As with all other levels, the back housed a part of the nuclear missile silo.

Also, it should be noted that just below the concrete floor, a massive vein of Tiberium was located.

This facility bears much resemblance to the room in the Sarajevo temple, where Kane was last seen by his officers just prior to the Ion Cannon blast.

As with the above-ground levels, part of the missile silo went through this level.

Underground level 2
The deepest part of the facility was its largest level, where all the main facilities were located.

The first room that was entered from the second level was Brotherhood's museum, where several artifacts are located, apparently of meaning to the Nod members, including a piece of rock with authentic ancient cave art depicting Abel's murder (the entire rock face with it was excavated by Nod), 2 portraits of unknown Soviet Tanks on parade at Moscow and a squadron of Harriers flying past, however the flag was doctored to show the Nod insignia instead of the USA's Star Spangled Banner.

Underground level 3
This level contains the central dining hall and lounge. Several rooms were connected to the lounge, most notable of which were Kane's office and living quarters. Kane's office is composed of a large desk, a black and red scorpion's tail sculpture and a wall screen, which provided background for Kane's mission briefings during the Nod campaign of the First Tiberium War. Adjacent to the office was his bedroom, entirely made of expensive ornaments and furniture bearing the Brotherhood's insignia. For protection, his bedroom was equipped with twin Laser ceiling turrets.

On the same level was Seth's, (Kane's previous right hand) living quarters and office were located. After he attempted to circumvent his superior's authority, he was executed during a mission briefing by the man he tried to overthrow, and his body was preserved in a large tube, which Kane kept as a trophy. Another room accessible was the greenscreen recording studio, where Kane recorded manipulated news reports with Greg Burdette, designed to place blame for civilian slaughter in Białystok on GDI. These reports were moderately successful, creating a world-wide scandal with GDI as its victim. In this room, there are 2 access to the missle silo. The last accessible room was the Temple's control room, through which access is available to the Temple's inhabitants living quarters on the 5th underground level. The living quarters section was intended for Kane's most faithful "brothers". It was interconnected with the main experimentation lab and the Temple's power core.

The experimentation lab was the place where the perfected Project ReGenesis augmentation process took place, resulting in creation of Templars from volunteers. They would later be kept in stasis in specially designed tubes, to be released in the case the Temple came under attack, or Kane's life was threatened, as it was when Captain Parker infiltrated the level and had to face several Templars at the same time. It was also here, that the base of the nuclear missile silo was located and the Temple's power core could be accessed. In the power core, the main ReGenesis evolution lab was located - here, the most advanced mutation processes were monitored and set in motion. The most advanced specimen that was created here was the mutated Elena Petrova, who possessed superhuman speed, agility and stamina, able to withstand massive weapon punishment and able to make several meter long jumps, covering opposite platforms of the core.

Underground ancient tomb
The perhaps most mysterious element of the Temple was supposedly accessed from an elevator located in the main experimentation lab. It was a fairly simple maze, filled with green gas, ultimately ending in a large, circular room, in the center of which a large sarcophagus is located.

It is implied, that entombed within the sarcophagus are the remains of Abel, the first victim of murder and Cain's brother, which seems to support rumors of Kane's immortality.

Beyond the sarcophagus, a large wall sculpture is located, depicting a man killing another. The murderer bears striking similarity to Kane himself, lending credibility to the theory that he is, in fact, Cain.

Notably, this green gas appears to be Tiberium vapor, although it wasn't poisonous. Also, in the tomb, two large Tiberium crystals were visible, but these would not harm human beings as the others crystals do. The area connects to the Temple power core and the last part of the missile silo, through a directly accessible passage.
