Welcome Back, Commander
EVA: Philadelphia uplink successful. Welcome back, Commander. Today's threat level is low.
EVA: The state of the planet is deteriorating. Tiberium infestation is reaching critical levels. Red Zones have suffered the worst contamination and cannot support human life.
EVA: Yellow Zones are dangerously contaminated, but contain most of the world's population. Decades of war and civil unrest have left these regions in a state of social collapse.
EVA: The Brotherhood of Nod operates virtually unchallenged in these zones. They take advantage of the chaos to recruit members and disguise their military infrastructure. Nod's leader is a charismatic figure known only as Kane. Kane is determined to accelerate the spread of Tiberium, believing it is the catalyst for the next stage of human evolution. However in recent years, the Brotherhood has been suspiciously quiet with little terrorist activity.
EVA: The remainder of the Earth's surface is unscarred by Tiberium outbreak. These Blue Zones are considered the last refuge and hope of the civilized world, and are under the protection of the Global Defense Initiative. You have been assigned command of the GDI stationed on the eastern seaboard of the United States. Good luck, Commander.
North Carolina Badlands
[PROLOGUE]
[GDI Central Command]
[Washington, DC]
[Blue Zone B-2]
Granger: Commander, General Jack Granger. Good to have you on board. These... these are interesting times. I don't know if you know it, but InOps has downgraded Nod's threat level to low. With Kane apparently dead, Nod has been fractured by internal power struggles; recruitment's down 25% and they've abandoned four bases in the last year. The prediction is another decade of peace. Me? I say it's the calm before the storm. For 28 years of fighting Nod there's one thing I can say with absolute certainty: as long as there's Tiberium on Earth, Nod is a serious threat. If our intel says otherwise, it's because Nod wants to take them off our radar. So I want you to go to North Carolina. Someone's security stop would look like a produce delivery truck yesterday but it turned out to be a Nod vehicle. Before it could be searched, the driver blew it up, himself along with it. I want you to take some troops down there, see what you can turn up. Hopefully, I'm wrong and this is just a false alarm.
Sandra Telfair enters.
Granger: But if I'm right, be prepared for the worst. This is Lieutenant Sandra Telfair, she's from InOps. She'll give you all the details of the mission. Lieutenant.
Telfair: Good afternoon, Commander. Glad to be of service. Here's what we know so far. After the delivery truck incident, we turned Sky Sentry onto the area, and bingo: we located a high-output subterra energy grid in the middle of nowhere. Obviously Nod's up to no good. Your ace in the hole is an old base we have there. Bring it back online and you can recon the entire area. My advice is to engage the enemy only if necessary. No telling what those maniacs are hiding down there. Good luck, Commander. I'm here if you need me.
