It had been the greatest moment in the Brotherhood's history, their ascension. After nearly a century of war and hardship, the Prophet and his chosen had finally prepared for ascension into the great beyond, where they would forge new, great temples and continue study of Tiberium. They would be unmolested by GDI, by politics, only the faithful and the enlightened would be present to bask in the glory of Tiberium, and the leadership of Kane! The visitors had come, built their great tower, and despite the efforts of GDI, and the hated traitor Gideon, Kane's vision was realized. All had been according to his great plans and machinations. Isaac had felt such joy at that moment the prophet and the last of the implanted entered the great tower, he wept and cried out to his congregation that their moment was at hand, their salvation! In one grand flash of light, they had all vanished, whisked by the technologies of Nod and the Scrin to the great beyond. Or at least he expected they had been. 

When he woke however, he felt his heart sink. He stood among the familiar constructs of man, though there was something... wrong. After what felt like hours of exploring the many homes and buildings, it was obvious what it was. There was no Tiberium. The thought made the Grand Confessor somewhat uneasy and as he shouldered his rotary rifle, he pulled his personal datapad from his armor. It took a moment for the device to spring to life, the familiar scorpion tail of the Brotherhood amidst a sea of red brought an ounce of comfort too him. Soon the EVR unit within the device spoke.

"For the glory of Kane. Tell me, where in His name am I?"

[color=C40002]Searching. Geographic references indicate that that this is Bern, Switzerland. However there is a severe discrepancy compared to the files. Current geological conditions indicate this as a Blue Zone. Previous surveys, uploaded no less than forty-eight hours ago, indicated this as a Red Zone, habitation should not be possible without the most advanced of Tiberium exposure equipment.[/color]

Switzerland, that shouldn't be. Even if the the great tower had left Earth cleansed of Tiberium (GDI and the infidels did not deserve its power), Issac should not have been there. "Can you connect me to a secure Nod channel, or locate the nearest Nod protected zone or safehouse?"

Even more peculiar. Isaac returned the datapad to its compartment within his armor and continued his trek through the city. Eventually he found his way to a great structure, somewhat decayed but of grand design. The EVR identified it as The Federal Palace of Switzerland. This would do for housing, for now at least. There were several desks and couches that were still usable, many more were worn and eaten by the ravages of time. Having found a suitable couch to serve as his bed, the Confessor walked from his new dwelling onto the balcony, looking out onto the barren city. A soft chuckle escaped his lips as he thought, his despair now changed to amusement, and then purpose. "EVR, I want you to broadcast a message, locally please."

After a few passionate minutes of rhetoric, the message had been successfully transcribed and the signal sent out through the city for those with the means to receive it. Isaac carefully removed the cape from his shoulders, and using the chain which fastened it, hung it from the balcony of the his newly claimed palace. The heraldry of Nod fluttered as the wind grew stronger, The Brotherhood of Nod had arrived.

[color=C40002]To all the faithful, the enlightened, the downtrodden, and the hopeless. I call out to you in the hopes that we might meet, we strangers in a strange land, brought to one another by the hand of fate or perhaps God. Do not despair my brothers and sisters, for here we are all the children of Kane. The Prophet in his wisdom, has sent me to you, sent US to you, for with me I carry the future of all, the key to the greatest of destinies! I have been sent to shepherd the lost, and destroy the infidels among us, for they are ever present to test our faith, even within our own lands. Yes, this is OUR land, this barren world rife with ruin, it is a cautionary tale, this is our second chance to find the true path and rule over our land. Through the power of the great green crystal, the teachings of Kane, and the technology of peace, we will reshape this world in the Prophet's image, in the ONLY image. I welcome you brothers and sisters, for this is now our home. Welcome, to the Land of Nod. ONE VISION, ONE PURPOSE![/color]
