Dude_Doc Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 By now most of you have heard about the terrorist attack in Indonesia which killed about 200 people, most of them australian tourists. You've probably also heard about the suicide attack in Finland which killed a little under 10 people, wounding over 100 others. And both happened under 24 hours. This actually goes paralell with the story of the first Command & Conquer game, but not exactly. In the CnC universe, a meteor carrying the substance Tiberium, crashed near the Tiber River in Italy in 1995. The tiberium is a mineral, a living source, that drain the recourses in its way. Also, before the Red Alert series changed the way we saw at CnC, the UN formed a global union of protection, GDI (Global Defence Initiative), to keep the biggest terrorist faction, the Brotherhood of Nod, at bay. As the tiberium grew, Nod got its recources, so that they could build bases, tanks, and supply their troopers. They became a superpower without a country. GDI had serious problems. But before Nod became such a big force to be reckoned with, they were terrorists, and VERY much like bin Laden and his al Quaeda. GDI, or UN at that time, tought they were some small force, scattered around the globe. They were prooven wrong after the tiberium showed up. Why? Because Nod were build of people from the third world, poor people, homeless people, everyone that hated the U.S. and it's allies. Now, we have seen how such a "small" group has the power to kill more than 1000 people. Still, we can't find them. We don't even have the information where they are! Okay, so maybe bin Laden is dead, or maybe he lives, but we still haven't found everything. So, how much terrorists can there be? 100? No, more than that. I would honestly say about a half a million. Now, imagine if those got some form of recourse, like tiberium. Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if the UN formed some kind of GDI, or Deus Ex's UNATCO (United Nations Anti Terrorist Coalition). No, I am not saying that I believe that CnC could happen, but still, imagine...NEWS:http://www.cnn.comhttp://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/10/12/helsinki.explosion.0940/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anathema Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Actually, C&C is a pretty realistic story save for the tiberium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Yes, and suddenly a super race showed up.. the Saiyans.A race so powerful, it doesn't really need technology to survive.Instead they have super powers that can blow up with a wave of a hand.Some moments ago, a black vegetable hair style Saiyan shows up, that has a cruel voice and blows up Earth.

Dude_Doc Posted October 14, 2002 Author Share Posted October 14, 2002 What I meant was that if you give the real terrorists (her in this world, in this time) recources, like some form of tiberium, they would become very powerful. Remember, tiberium is like all minerals in one mineral, which makes the whole thing much easier, instead of building oil platforms, mines and all the other risky stuff. But of course, tiberium is dangerous too, if you try to pick it with your hands lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usul Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 HAIL THE TECHNOLOGY OF PEACE, KANE LIVES IN DEATH!True about Tiberium being dangourous but they didn't know that at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude_Doc Posted October 14, 2002 Author Share Posted October 14, 2002 No. At first sight, people living at the first crash site tought tiberium had a healing effect. But later it prooved that it was actually consuming the earth, and killing or mutating the envivornment. Later, in Tiberian Sun: Firestorm (2030 somewhere there), tiberium infected the oceans. Earth had come to a critical stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sardauker-Kirov Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 It sounds like the Tiberium has some link between the spice melange of Dune.Though, how is it possible to make items with Spice Melange?It is "spice" not 100% solid like metal and titanium or other.

quoudam72 Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Spice is the excrement of the great worms only harm to the environment is those who do not walk without rhythm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude_Doc Posted October 14, 2002 Author Share Posted October 14, 2002 They probably melt the spice, somehow, maybe with some kind of other material, like paper etc (you get the melange paper). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 No, spice is the food of worms. Sand trout make "bags" of water, wich then explode and spice is formed that way. Or something like that. Anyway, the worms eat it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quoudam72 Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 Yes, but if they eat the spice it also expelled throught bodily functions correct. I think we are both right it's just the explanation that we can't agree apon. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anathema Posted October 14, 2002 Share Posted October 14, 2002 I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Like the part wher e Paul smells the worms breath and he smells spice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
