This page includes a transcript of Tacitus Regained, the thirteenth and final mission of Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath.[1]

Briefing[]

Raid GDI's Rocky Mountains base and capture the Tacitus.

Loading screen[]

The Marked of Kane have arisen, and the Tacitus is within Kane's grasp.

The artifact has been tracked to GDI's heavily fortified compound in the Rocky Mountains, secure behind an impenetrable wall of energy. Raid the base, capture its communication centers and bring down the barrier. Only then can you finally claim the Tacitus.

Ascension is at hand.

Mission script[]

Establishing video uplink.

Kane: Those fools at GDI continue to destabilize the Tacitus with their experiments! The artefact must be ripped from the hands of these children before they destroy it once and for all. Do not fail me!

Nod Soldier: Man, this place is infected with GDI!

Incoming transmission.

1. Capture and Hold GDI Communication Centers

Nod EVA: LEGION, both the Tacitus and GDI's core base are secure behind impenetrable energy barriers. Capture the GDI operation center, and our hackers can begin the deactivation process. Capture additional operation centers to accelerate the deactivation process.

(Intelligence data updated: Nod Weaponry - The Awakened)

(Intelligence data updated: Nod Weaponry - The Enlightened)

(Intelligence data updated: Nod Weaponry - Tiberium Trooper)

(Intelligence data updated: Nod Field Recon - Tacitus Destabilized?)

(After a bunker entrance is sighted.)

New bonus objective.

1. Destroy GDI Bunker Entrances

Nod EVA: GDI forces are massed in underground bunkers. Destroy the exits to seal them in.

(After a power plant is sighted.)

New bonus objective.

2. Destroy GDI Power Plants

Nod EVA: GDI are powering their first tier of base defenses via external power stations, eliminate them.

(After one of the bunker entrances is destroyed.)

Nod Soldier: Seal 'em in, boys!

(After the Tacitus containment facility is sighted.)

Nod Soldier: So there it is, the Tacitus!

(5 minutes until the Tacitus energy barrier is hacked.)

Nod EVA: Outer energy barrier down, core GDI base now a viable target.

(Black Hand reinforcements arrive.)

Nod Soldier: Black Hand's 2nd Armored Regiment at your service! Couldn't they have stored the Tacitus somewhere tropical?

(After the Tacitus energy barrier is hacked.)

Nod EVA: Inner energy barrier down, Tacitus is undefended.

Incoming transmission.

2. Capture Tacitus Containment Structure

Nod EVA: GDI's experiments have rendered the Tacitus highly unstable. Capture the containment facility and claim the device before it self-destructs.

(Tacitus Self Destruct in: 6:40)

(Mainline Nod reinfrocements arrive.)

Nod Soldier: Looks like you Marked of Kane got here first!

(When the countdown reaches 1:00)

Nod EVA: Tacitus self-destruction in t-minus 60 seconds.

(After the Tacitus containment facility is captured.)

Nod Soldier: In Kane's name, I claim the Tacitus! We got it! I can't believe we got it!

(If the Tacitus containment facility is destroyed.)

Nod EVA: Tacitus self-destruct sequence completed. Aborting mission.

Kane: LEGION, we have spent long years together, won many victories... but for you to fail me now, to allow the Tacitus to be destroyed is to render all of that unto dust. The prophecy... is no more.

Objectives[]

Primary Objectives[]

  • Capture and Hold GDI Communication Centers
    • Our only hope for bringing down GDI's energy barrier lies in the GDI Communication Centers. Capture them, for the more we control, the faster we can bring the barrier down.
  • Capture Tacitus Containment Structure
    • The Tacitus is ours. Capture the device and bring it to Kane.

Secondary Objectives[]

  • Destroy GDI Power Plants
    • These Power Plants fuel GDI's base defenses. Eliminate them and ease our journey.
  • Destroy GDI Bunker Entrances
    • GDI have amassed a huge army beneath the mountains. Destroy the Bunker Entrances and seal them inside.
