"I want you to have the privilege of starting the Third Tiberium War, the War to end all Wars,...Go Ahead, My Son! Push the button! Inscribe your place in history with the blood of GDI!" Thus said the Messiah Kane to the mysterious NOD Commander who became a member of his Inner Circle. With the destruction of the GDSS Philadelphia during the Annual Energy Summit by the Brotherhood of NOD, Kane started the most destructive conflict between the Global Defence Initiative and his Followers. As the war raged from the White House to Europe and Australia the Alien Scrin would also launch their invasion of Earth revealing the secrets of the Tacitus. Even as Kane was engineering the Liquid Tiberium Bomb the fate of Temple Prime in Sarajevo was sealed. This is the story of the Third Tiberium War between the two Superpowers and the seeming defeat of Kane in 2047. But what appeared to be the result of this War was just an elusion.
