Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition

Reader mode
Citizenship I think might be difficult for the Forgotten, seeing as how a Tiberium mutant wouldn't be able to live among the general population since a lot of them have Tiberium embedded throughout their bodies. Sure they could vote, discuss, and recieve benefits like any normal citizen. I just think it's kinda hard to integrate them when if they want to meet people face to face one of them is going to have to be in a sealed suit.

Even with the extra concessions we're still getting a great deal, GDI is by far coming out ahead on this one. A cheap LCI project (that we get to keep most of the fruits of even, like we're not going to transfer every water purifier to the Forgotten we can use the rest to improve the refugee camps or bribe YZ warlords or whatever), a single Infra die, and a -10 income drain (that will be quickly offset by Forgotten labor in the Tib mines) in exchange for scientific aid, captured Nod and Scrin technology, a Tiberium-proof labor pool, and local Red Zone guides for the military is an absolute steal.

I suppose it kinda helps when the people you're dealing with are starving mutants that live out in the Red Zones with nothing but old gear they either salvage from battlefields or get from previous GDI charity that was over a decade ago. Given how we started with -8 leverage they're very willing to give us whatever help we need if it means they're supplied and protected.

Full integration is impossible, these people are walking biological disasters that can never mix with society due to the risks. At most they would get some camps that by necessity would have to be environmentally sealed on the fringes of the Yellow Zones.

They're people. As the only remaining legitimate government we're obligated to give them as decent a treatment as we reasonably can. Besides, we can build fusion rockets; you're telling me we can't figure out the medical science needed to help them? It's worth trying if nothing else.
 
The mutants may never be able to casually walk down the street in a blue zone, but at worst we have suits that protect yellow zone residents from external threats. I'm fairly certain we can say, "OK for the safety of other people please wear this suit when you interact with non-mutants." It sucks but they'll probably understand why we don't want people to be exposed to Tiberium.

Most people are not the bastard offspring of nuclear waste and hostile nanotechnology. It sucks but the moral duty we might have to these people is overshadowed by the same we have for so many more that are not yet infected. If we can cure them its great and something very helpful in world being eaten but anything short of that keeps from the public.
 
I have seen no indication that Tiberium mutation is capable of community spread. It is something that can come with exposure to Tiberium, and in CnC 2, GDI characters seemed perfectly comfortable being in the same enclosed spaces as Umagon. Is it perfectly safe, I don't know. But I don't have any indication that Tiberium mutation is capable of community spread.

Hmmm... It appears that the Forgotten are far easier to manage than the GDI political factions.

The Forgotten are in a much weaker bargaining position than GDI's legislature, so yes. :D

My impression is that there are two metrics when it comes to our interactions GDI's political parties.

1.) How much the party in question supports what we are doing. For example, the Developmentalists strongly support us, because we prioritize things that they think are important.

2.) How much the GDI public supports any given political party. An example of this is how the ongoing consumer goods shortage might push more people into voting for the Free Market party.

Is this mostly accurate?

I know you're not asking me, but this makes sense. (1) determines the balance of support to opposition within each party; (2) determines how big the party's respective delegations are.

It's not that we necessarily can't, it's that the biological effects of tiberium seem to be a lot more difficult to cope with than the problems of building a fusion rocket.
 
Aight, but even with QM information, the people in universe probably still want extensive studies on the Tiberium human-human transmission vector before they believe its a non-issue.
