This page includes a transcript of Rome, the sixteenth and penultimate GDI mission of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.[1]

Briefing[]

Show that the massive alien towers can by taken down by flattening the tower in Rome

(Trip to Rome is the briefing cinematic)

Loading screen[]

It's time to take the fight into the Red Zones and destroy the giant towers under construction by the invaders. Central Command isn't keen on waiting around to find out what those things are actually going to be used for... the answer is sure to be one that we won't like. You're the test case: you're going to take down the tower near Rome. You will deploy into the Italian Red Zone and set up shop behind a large Tiberium chasm that is not connected to the main landmass. While this provides a natural defenses, you'll have to utilize jump jets, call-for-transport and aerial units to move across the chasm and create expansion bases. Scanners indicate several spatial anomalies in the area and Alien entities are flooding into the region at an alarming rate. To make things worse, Nod has set up camp in the northwest. Given Nod's erratic behavior since the arrival of the invaders, you should be prepared for anything. The situation is crazy and getting more so by the minute.
