Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition

Why do I get the feeling that Gideons VI was offline from the moment Kane arrived and that nobody in that base will ever know that LEGION or a small fragment of it probably took over all base functions for the duration of the visit.

Because this is Kane we're talking about. I would not bat an eye if part of the sequel involves him suddenly appearing on the Citadel Presidium to have a conversation with the Council, only to vanish the moment he decides the discussion is over and walks away.

But man, props to all the Kane omakes- they really capture his gravitas.

Carbon processors?

Crystal or optical processing sounds like something to push towards, but carbon processors provide substantial improvements on silicon while still using existing, well-developed architectures.

Might make the difference between "experimental computer rollout in five years" and "Initiative-wide upgrades in two". And even after the experimental computers make it out, carbon might well dominate civilian markets, low priority systems, and single use units like those in missiles.

IRL we have major issues forming the carbon nanotubes exactly how we need them, but extruding materials from Tiberium might be able to sidestep that. We already have long-chain carbon nanotubes, so...

For more reasons to do BZ arcologies over any more YZ arcologies, just look at the high priority listing that the BZ one has:

(Progress 3/600: 15 Resources per Die) (++++ Housing, +++ Consumer Goods, -- Energy) (High Priority)

over the YZ one that doesn't have any sort of priority listing:

(Progress 0/170: 15 resources per die) (+++ Housing)

In short, not even the Yellow Zone people are expressing that much desire for even more YZ arcologies, so building them is essentially giving people what they didn't even ask for while ignoring what they ARE asking for.

Overall, I'd say it's plain better to just build more Blue Zone Arcologies as to continue the trend of immigration and movement of people from YZ and RZ to the BZs. Because while some quality housing such as the Phase 1 YZ Arcologies should remain maintained in the YZ for work reasons, it's only logical to build the further phases of any sort of Arcology in the form of the better Arcology, and in the better regions as to encourage people to move towards safer and more consolidated areas. Because if Housing has an end goal of some sort, then wouldn't that be something like basically everyone living in a Blue Zone Arcology anyway?

That and even if the Yellow zones are reclaimed to eventually become almost Blue Zone, the Arcologies that were built there would still be at YZ Arcology quality, which are still not as good as BZ ones, and thus would be an inefficient investment if they were only going to be a temporary stopping point for the people moving to the BZ arcologies in the end. Because when the Housing issue is no longer a life and death concern to keep people from living in tents, there's no real reason left to build any lesser types of Housing vs the best possible, not when anything subpar to the best would all be temporary accommodations at best over time.

This is incorrect, High priority is dictated by departments not by the collective populace. To that end the infra department thinks as of last turn the BZ Arcology is the most important option. This is not something that the YZ populace is deciding.

This will not happen in a reasonable time frame, we just gained more populace and will continue to bring in more refugees over time combined with the length needed for each BZ arcology phase means we will need YZ arcology/duplexes if we intend to have everyone in high quality housing.

The Infrastructure Department is not making that decision in a vacuum either. IF and FMP politicians have exerted their parliamentary authority upon the Treasury to encourage BZ Arcology construction as well.
 
The GDI expansion into the more firmly Nod controlled parts of the Yellow Zones has started off well. The starting launch points of Nod at the start of the Third Tiberium War have been overrun with relatively little fighting. However, the ease of GDI's current expansion may be very misleading. Many of the Nod warlords have decided to conserve their forces and not contest GDI expansion into the Yellow and Red Zones. While some tiberium loving zealots such as Gideon have been launching futile strikes against ZOCOM, more practical Nod warlords have realized that unrestricted tiberium spread is not actually a good thing and have decided to allow GDI to perform tiberium abatement while using the GDI presence in the Yellow Zones to rally supporters to the Nod cause. There is the risk of a sudden Nod counteroffensive to drive a potentially overstretched GDI back will occur and we must be prepared for this possible counterstrike.

Hopefully, the natural 100 anti-stealth development against the general working principles of all Nod stealth systems will greatly Nod's ability to hide from GDI and reduce Nod's ability to counterattack the GDI expansion. Nod might need a lot of time or even need to develop a new type of stealth system to counteract this development by GDI and GDI must exploit this window of opportunity to find and destroy as many hidden bases and assets as possible.

I am not going to be putting in an indicator for finished hubs, just cutting as they complete. But yes, this is pretty much what the document looks like.


Edit: As for YZ arcologies, they do not make the cutoff for high quality housing, especially not because what is being demanded is high quality blue zone housing.

Seo Speech Aftermath, Kane and Gideon

Gideon could not think of many things he'd rather have happen at this moment. Interrupted by his personal guard due to a matter of immediate urgency, he stormed out of his personal chambers, still dressing himself as he made his way to his command center.

"Please, please, this cannot be happening right now.", he mumbled to himself as he fought with the zipper of his perfectly tailored pants during the elevator ride, hoping no one else was there to witness his current shameful condition.

As the door opened into Gideon's private command center, he saw that while his personal chair and its attached computer screen were dark, the large wall full of computer screens, showing constant feeds of military data from all over North America, as well as several news-casts and other information streams, was going full-blast. No other light was in the room, and the flickering, changing colors of the screens cast the scorpion-inspired chair in an eerie, otherworldly glow.

Gideon froze.

Standing a few feet in front of the wall of screens was a figure in a deceptively simple-looking hooded coat. Its cut was somewhere between a traditional long-coat and some sort of ancient robe. The man standing there had his hands clasped behind his back, his feet spread slightly, in a posture that someone in good health could probably hold for hours. The lights from the screen gleamed slightly off of his bald head. There was no mistaking who this figure was. The Messiah had come to visit Gideon.

Immediately capable and nimble hands began fumbling with buttons, straps and laces. Quick and quiet, with movements and techniques learned from the beginnings of his ascend in the brotherhood, he fixed up his appearance, smoothing out wrinkles in his uniform and straightening his hair back. If Gideon had learned one thing during his ascend in the Messias brotherhood it was that it was all about the performance, the looks, the hand gestures made during speeches, the symbols used. After a few seconds Gideon had transformed into the Gideon he presented outwards, chin up, chest out, trained breathing and a smile he had practised for Kane knows how long in front of the mirror with an outfit as immaculate as the situation allowed.

The four center screens were configured to show an enlarged view of the speech being given by Treasury Vice-Secretary Seo Thoki. A speech happening right now in the gradually-resurrected city of Chicago.
--"To defend it, we must continue to work towards understanding. Not just of each other, or of the world around us, but in all aspects of life. We must remain true to the vision of the Initiative as it has been rebuilt in these last years, and build a society where none need go hungry. None need go without shelter. A society where none are damned for the accident of their birth. I have been given the responsibility to be a torchbearer in these dark times. I hope to carry it well. Thank you."--
A hand raised and idly gestured at the screens, and they muted as the speech finished and the Vice-Secretary was ushered away by security troops in full Zone Armor. For several long moments, a time less than a minute but more than an eternity, the bald figure stood there silently.

Gideon waited for the Messiah to make the first move. It would allow him to figure out the purpose of this all too unexpected visit, whether or not he was angry, disappointed or something else and, more importantly, it would allow him to formulate a response.

Finally, Kane spoke.

"A most rousing speech, wouldn't you say, Brother Gideon? I thought the bit about contrasting peace versus the sword was a particularly fine bit of wordplay. Of course, I'm sure you already knew the contents of the speech, as well as the location and the time. You have, after all, assured me time and again, that you have comprehensive knowledge of the moves GDI is making on this continent. And while I would not think that every single person's literal movements are tracked at all times, I would conversely think that one of the half-dozen most powerful people in the Initiative would be under constant observation and tracking.

So clearly, you decided that this was not an opportunity for an assassination attempt. Almost handed to us on a platter by GDI. Unless you mean to tell me that you simply did not know that not only was the Vice-Secretary going to be in Chicago, but was going to be giving a speech in an open, public area?"

Only then did Kane turn around slowly; he stepped several feet closer to Gideon and, with another wordless hand-gesture to the room's Virtual Intelligence that coordinated many of the functions, turned the actual lights on to dim illumination. Gideon had never specifically told Kane or others about all the commands he'd coded in, but this was, after all, Kane. Rumor had it he had an Artificial Intelligence that exceeded the power of CABAL at his fingertips. The highest leader of the Brotherhood of Nod stopped a few feet away from Gideon, just far enough to allow the warlord the impression of a strong personal space. His arms were crossed over his chest, but a gentle, fatherly smile was on his face as he waited for Gideon's answer.

Gideon immediately decided on a course of action, submissiveness, as much as it pained him. He fell to his knees, head facing the polished black stone tiles beneath him.

"Messiah!", he called out, carefully controlling the tone of his voice. "I can assure you, it was still yesterday that my agents and I were sure about Granger using the Energy Summit to present his successor, and had made preparations for this possibility. The fact that my entire network was unaware of this development only speaks of our enemies' increased strength and cunning and not the incompetence of my agents."

Kane stood there for several moments. Who knew what was going on inside of his mind? Certainly not Gideon.
'Ancestors give me strength, this one really is a simpering fool.'
Finally, he spoke.

"So. Your entire intelligence network is exceedingly competent. It is simply that GDI is more competent? More..powerful?"

Kane paused, and seemingly took a moment to examine his fingernails, as if searching for an imperfection or some sort of bit of captured dirt.

"I do appreciate your attempt to give grace to your subordinates. However, this is a worrying trend. If you had known of this and simply chosen not to act, then I would not necessarily mind. My field commanders have the leeway they do because I try to trust their judgement. But if it was because you truly did not know, then we may have a problem."

He tapped his chin in thought, before snapping his fingers.

"Ah, yes. Brother Mehretu has extensive experience working with extremely asymmetrical power dynamics. His troops are excellent infiltrators. I will request he provide you with a handful of trainers, to help your own intelligence operatives get a better handle on how to handle superior enemy means. But, Gideon…"

Kane knelt down, placed a single finger under Gideon's chin, and gently, almost lovingly, lifted the Warlord's face until he was looking Kane in the eyes. The Messiah no longer smiled.

"It is the job of the troops to carry out the will of their commanding officer. But it is the job of the commanding officer to understand their shortcomings and, if it is beyond their own means, ask for assistance. I would rather see my commanders constantly requesting aid from each other, and succeeding, than see them all fail individually. So tell me, Gideon...how will you do better next time?"

His hand dropped away from Gideon's face, and Kane stood straight and tall once more, his arms crossed against his chest, his face a mask of stone that revealed little of his thoughts.

"My Messiah", Gideon answered composedly, returning the eye contact without flinching. "I can give the brothers and sisters of Nod motivation should they lack it. I can give them symbols to believe in should they need them. Through speech, prayer and sermon I can hype them up to willingly lay down their lives for your cause. But motivation alone cannot stand against the Marv, the manifestation of their imperialist nature. Motivation does not help if the Brotherhood soldiers are blown apart by GDIs artillery. But if you would be willing to share a sliver of your plans with the likes of me, I'd have something to rally the followers of the Brotherhood in North America. We can disrupt GDI all we want but they grow stronger every day all around the globe. What will the Brotherhood's response be?"

Kane tilted his head to the side, as if confused. HIs tone as he spoke was light, conversational even.

"To grow stronger, Brother Gideon. Have you not been doing that? Have you and your fellow war-leaders not been constantly working to grow your forces? Not just our faithful brothers and sisters who fight as Militia troops, but your heavy infantry, cavalry, and air force? Tell me, Gideon…"

Kane's hands went his his hips, his elbows pointed to the side. His brows shifted down slightly.

"How was it that GDI reached the point that Chicago is the fortress it has become in the first place? Why do we not have Shadow teams scattered about its landscape already? You speak of the power of GDI's MARV fleets; at least Stahl's troops put active pressure on the Hub in their territory. I expect my Commanders to act Gideon."
Kane barely disguised the sheer disgust in his voice.
"Where are your sweeping moves? I do not ask that you succeed every time. I ask that you do the best and boldest with what you have been given. To whom much is given, much is required. So now the question becomes how much more you feel can be required of you, Brother Gideon. I am truly beginning to wonder."

Gideon rose, furious at the humiliation, but remaining calm on the outside. "Let me show you what I have been working on."

He walked over to the table in the middle of the room, quickly running his hand over the keyboard to load up the schematics of his latest project. Slowly dimming the lights, he waited for the right moment to project the 3D blueprint into the air above them, the hologram painting the room into a violent red light.

Two vehicle schematics flickered above them. Both tanks are reminiscent of scorpions, the tail section raised high above the main body, the armor angular and plate-like, but one significantly larger, with slim, angular quad tracks and two sections.

"The results of months of research by my scientists." Gideon declared theatralically, with all the pomp and energy he could muster. "The scorpion tank, reimagined and given a new form. Imposing, deadly, ready to strike and...." He turned towards Kane, carefully reading his reactions. "...with a miniature Obelisk of Light as the main weapon."

Kane had followed Gideon, hands clasped behind his back. His expression had fallen into "inexpressive stone" until Gideon clarified the weapons systems on board the tank. His eyebrows rose fractionally, a sign of rather large surprise on the enigmatic leader's part.

"Intriguing. The positioning of the Obelisk allows for it to fire from a more protected position than many models of tank. I am impressed your engineers were able to include one. Though, I am curious Brother, what in particular is the difference between the two models? Simply the size?"

"The smaller one will hopefully replace the disgrace that is the current model of scorpion tank for Brotherhood forces across the world. It is fast, agile and can attack both air and ground targets and…" Gideon grimaced and clenched a fist, turning around towards Kane. "...It is one of my many failures. The original goal was to provide a mobile version of the Obelisk of Light, a beacon of brotherhood supremacy, unstoppable in its advance, deadly in its strikes. But my engineers had problems with its balance and ground pressure, so as much as it pains me to admit the Emperor Scorpion is currently the less finished prototype of the two."

Kane smiled.

"It is the nature of Nod to turn failure into opportunity. While there are merits to more traditional tank designs, having a mobile Obelisk mounted on a literal Scorpion's tail makes for fearsome sight indeed. We have other, more traditional designs being worked on anyways. I will direct some additional resources to this project, Brother Gideon. You have proven yourself a true follower of the ways of the Brotherhood. I was not mistaken in giving you leadership of this area, it seems. We will ensure the new-model Scorpion's design is finalized and distributed as soon as possible. Hopefully, this new weapon will give your forces the infusion of power and motivation necessary to begin pushing GDI's war-dogs back."

Kane turned and began to walk toward the door, but stopped halfway there.

"Was there anything else that required my attention, Gideon?"

Gideon smiled, exhausted and relieved, quietly wiping away a drop of sweat that had formed on his forehead. "No, Messiah. Peace through Power."

Kane's smile intensified for just a moment, before he turned and walked to the doorway.

"Peace Through Power, Brother."

And then Kane was through the doorway and out of sight. When Gideon nervously stepped up just moments later, he looked both ways and did not see the Messiah anywhere, or hear his footsteps. He was simply gone.

I am putting in some place holder costs for 8 mil dice and 2 orbital dice as I need to see what projects unlock before deciding on those, tried to go high on resource cost so if things are less than that is more to use elsewhere. I will be adjusting actions to make use of the last HI die but waiting until the turn comes up to see what the costs of new actions are and also what actions to grab from there.

Thoughts?

These have discovered and rediscovered hundreds of NOD operational bases, the jumping off sites of the Third Tiberium War. While all have been long abandoned, stripped of useful materials, and in many cases poisoned by the waste products of brotherhood occupation, they mark a turning point. GDI is finally beginning to not only retake old territories lost to encroaching yellow zones, but has begun pushing significantly into lands held by the Brotherhood

If nothing else it'll let us look at how Nod fought the last war. We may still wring a few secrets from these shells. Also if nothing else? We've pushed back the next jump off if Kane gets a wild hair.

This is crazy. Wonder how much stealth stuff is actually going on in areas we control.

The only holdout so far has been the Navy, which has cited its need for longer range and heavier missiles as a problem. And even so, the Navy has seen fit to propose Thunderbolt + as a future project, building in the capacity for larger systems. Fundamentally, by ensuring cross-compatibility, it will make it so that GDI should never have to worry about running entirely out of ammunition. In terms of deployment, GDI will begin by converting a long list of surviving munitions factories over to the new standard. However, with demand expected to spike in the coming years, a series of new factories have already been planned

This could probably still see use. I don't see why it wouldn't be worth keeping a few silos around with long range missiles in the blue zones or at fortress towns.

This. We could be looking at bases that predate the first war. Or keels laid during the second.

Nice. Really enjoying all this Kane stuff. Like honestly coulda see that in a cutscene. Then Kane or Gideon looks at the screen and gives the player a mission.
