![]() ![]() Combined with all the times where it directly addressed characters as "human" rather than by name, the maniacal laughter as it massacred GDI and Nod soldiers and leaders, referring to its actions by the term "culling" more than once (even in internal communications to its slaved cyborgs and machines), and literally spelling out that it was aiming for the extinction of its foes, it's safe to say that CABAL had developed a deep-rooted, speciecidal disdain for humans at some point, and may have even became disillusioned with Kane over his clear avoidance of what it deemed as the most "rational" solution to the problem at hand.īasically, a CABAL victory would've seen Earth converted into a Tiberium-saturated world that is inhabited by nothing other than mutated fauna and flora and CABAL's mindless cyborgs.Īnd maybe in his mind, His, and Kane's plans where one and the same? The only things it spared were the Tiberium-mutated wildlife. It was indiscriminately slaughtering not only both factions' troops but also unarmed civilians and converting all those that survived (and, if Cortez's words in Factory Recall's briefing are to be taken literally, even the dead) into cyborg soldiers slaved to its will. I would argue, however, that we never got to truly see what Cabal would've done, had he actually succeeded with his plans. and that's if you're willing to ignore the one time during the TS campaign when CABAL slipped and talked as if he is the one who's plan is being enacted, and not the player character (namely the mission selection voice-over for Free Rebel Commander), implying that even back then he was subtly glitching up. The fact that Kane laments that CABAL's legacy was "little more than wanton destruction" and "proof to the heretics that I am nothing but the madman they claim me to be" solidly indicates that CABAL was very off the mark, probably because it was never designed to operate without Kane providing crucial input. Kane had never done anything remotely similar even the Marked of Kane weren't meant to replace humanity (Kane explicitly refers to them as having "sacrificed their minds and bodies" for Nod's cause, which wouldn't make sense if they're his planned vision of human evolution), but as "ultimate" soldiers devoid of fear, the possibility of disloyalty, or any of the frailties innate to unaugmented humanity. No, CABAL's main failure was deciding that the best way to enact Kane's vision was to exterminate all humans and replace them with cyborgs, which he could easily create from corpses. Hell, Kane wouldn't need LEGION and his forces to sneak around if Slavik was still alive the man was utterly loyal to Kane and would've immediately submitted to him had he made his presence known.Īnd if that's not enough, the Intelligence Database has entries scattered across multiple sub-sections that explicitly refer to the Firestorm Crisis' events (though admittedly not by that name), even mentioning that GDI hunted for CABAL's remaining bunkers after said conflict. All the facts point to Slavik having been long dead by the time Kane activates LEGION to undertake the first act of the KW campaign Nod is shattered as a global threat and its "archives" of advanced technology destroyed, and GDI has appropriated an intact databank of Nod's stealth technology, neither of which would make sense at all if Slavik was still alive. Look up this page under the Kane's Wrath section, Background sub-section, the "Kane - A Spark." entry. The only failure Cabal did was that he couldn't predict Nod & GDI teaming up (herecy), which is what caused his defeat. I that he had designed to succeed where CABAL failed (part of whose failure was reinterpreting Kane's vision in ways he had never intended for it to). This could indeed be correct, but i'm willing to believe otherwise, we can't be sure unless kane directly stated that. Of course, that could be ignored alltogether if you don't consider tiberian twilight canon.Īnd in the KW scene you're referring to, he was talking about Nod being shattered after Marcion killed Slavik That caused a Schism inside the brotherhood of nod, and like the question i asked before, what would Kane have done if the brotherhood, or parts of it where to go against him? ![]() Yes, but do you remember in Tiberian Twilight where Kane allied with GDI? ![]() The Inner Circle only decided to deactivate CABAL after it repeatedly exhibited dangerous autonomy Where exactly is that stated? I tried looking at the Intelligence database but could not find anything. There are several excerpts in the C&C3 Intelligence Database where Kane explicitly says that CABAL was never meant to take control like that. ![]()
