Illegal Data Transfer




Real Talk: They should've had you capture Jake 4 missions ago and build up towards eventual betrayal. Instead, it just looks like Oxanna is the first woman he's seen in decades (that wasn't infected with Tiberium) and will betray everything he's ever known and fought for because he could potentially get laid in the future. If there's a serious weakpoint in the story on the NOD side, its the cutscene for this mission.






I'm going to guess Kandalaksha, but really it could be anywhere in this area.




Location: In the area of Kandalaksha, Russia.
Objective: Infiltrate GDI Comm centers and steal the Ion Cannon codes.

Briefing: GDI has stored the firing codes for its Ion Cannon in three separate Comm centers. The centers are isolated in a valley and poorly guarded. We do not have the forces available for a full-scale assault. However, a small infiltration team led by the Chameleon Spy has a reasonable chance of success. Once the Spy has the codes, he must be evacuated safely.

Author's note: A tough mission that I don't recall playing as a kid. Good challenge for a decent reward in the next mission.
