This page includes a transcript of Cairo, the eighth GDI mission of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.[1]

Briefing[]

Destroy the nuke base in northern Cairo that took out the Philadelphia

James: InOps just confirmed the nuke that destroyed the Philadelphia was launched from this area. With Nod on the run and nothing to lose, it's likely they'll launch their full nuclear arsenal. Obviously we can't let that happen. Take out the silo and the facility that controls it, Commander. This one is payback for all those who died on the Philadelphia.

Your mission is to take out a massive Nod nuclear weapons facility in northern Cairo, the same base that was used to launch the strike on the Philadelphia. This is now the highest priority GDI target worldwide. Time is of the essence: Nod is likely to launch everything they have if they think you're getting too close.

Mission script[]

Establishing video uplink...
James: Nod's about to unleash another nuclear attack, Commander. You need to disable their launch site quickly, then marshal your forces and take the whole damn facility out!
Incoming transmission...
1. Destroy the Nod Nuke Facility
EVA: This nuclear facility is a threat to all of GDI. We must destroy it before they can launch another missile.
2. Destroy the Nod Compound Headquarters
EVA: These structures house the Nod headquarters that administrate Nod in this region. Destroy them to end Nod's control of Egypt.

EVA: This Nod base is well fortified, especially at the entrance. Look for additional passages to breach the base.

New bonus objective
1. Capture or destroy the Nod Power Plants
EVA: The nuclear silo has a weakness: this row of Power Plants. We can delay the launch by denying the silo power.

Orca pilot: There are no air defenses over here, sir!

[Nod's Nuclear Missile will launch in: 5:00] (countdown)
