    KANE'S HISTORY Rest, brothers and sisters. Your journey for peace has nearly 
    reached an end. Your brethren have felt the suffering and cruel injustices 
    delivered by the hand of the GDI. We have seen the world slowly die, at the 
    hand of petty world governments while the people become infected with Tiberium 
    poisoning. Most importantly, we have heard your cries of help from the wastelands 
    of what used to be an earthly paradise. Fear not. We have come to deliver 
    you. Since the coming of KANE long ago, we have fought on your behalf. Now, 
    we have stepped out from the shadows to call upon the spirit of KANE and right 
    the injustices of a cruel world. Our source of strength? Tiberium, a gift 
    from heaven. Tiberium heralds the dawn of a new age. While this new resource 
    continues to confound the scientific community, we have embraced the good 
    in Tiberium and are using it for the benefit of your brothers and sisters. 
    Secret NOD facilities are creating new technologies based on Tiberium to protect 
    you from the onslaught of GDI ruthlessness. Most importantly, our new medical 
    colonies are already creating medicines to cure you of the plague that has 
    swept our planet. Who will lead us to victory? Contrary to what you have been 
    told, Kane's murder by the Global Defense Initiative did not stop our efforts 
    for peace. We have fought from the shadows, sacrificed our lives, and trained 
    new heroes - people just like you.  
   Kane, leader to our cause, voice of our Brothers, was murdered in cold blood 
    at the hands of brutal GDI forces. Though Kane is no longer with us, his vision 
    lives in our commitment to our Nod Brethren. The Brotherhood of Nod desires 
    a world of peace, unity and eternal fraternity. We have killed, and will kill 
    again to defend our destiny. We believe the ends will justify the means. THE 
    SPIRIT HAND OF KANE OPENS TO ALL The Global Defense Initiative must be recognized 
    for what it is -- whore to the western world -- corporate slave to the elite 
    wealth of nations. We are the abandoned. We are the destitute. We are the 
    angry. We have risen up, and will rise up again to unite our global Brotherhood. 
    We believe the lowest among us will inherit the planet.   |
