C&C Tiberian Sun: Re-Energized
Cassa Lowe for Dr. Gabriella Boudreau
Dr. Gabriella Boudreau is the successor to Dr. Ignatio Mobius' research into Tiberium's properties and its effects upon humanity and the Earth.
At Tratos' request, Dr. Boudreau oversaw an expeditionary force to Cairo to recover the Tacitus, Kane's other research and deliver it safely to Tratos. This was not without risk, as although GDI forces held the remnants of Kane's Cairo facility, Nod snipers harassed the team, despite the strong winds buffeting the site. Whilst Dr. Boudreau oversaw the loading of the Tacitus and all of Kane's research onto the Kodiak, she was not aboard it when it crashed during an Ion Storm in Egypt, but she watched it go down from her position at the Cairo facility.
Later, she berated General Paul Cortez, commander of GDI's Southern Cross base, and her ex-husband to boot, for allowing Tratos to be assassinated by Nod forces, setting their research back months, if not years. Furthermore, she had to deliver the news that within a year, the Earth's atmosphere would become 100 percent toxic to humans, thanks to the rate of Tiberium poisoning of organic life on Earth. In a somewhat controversial move, she suggested using CABAL to translate the Tacitus, as the Nod AI had helped Tratos translate parts of it during the Second Tiberium War. A GDI commander was despatched to capture CABAL's data core for this purpose.
With CABAL captured, and reconstructed in the Daedalus facility, the Tacitus translation began, though not before a second piece of the Tacitus was recovered from South America. With the Tacitus complete, CABAL's captured cyborgs turned on the GDI forces at the facility, forcing Dr. Boudreau to flee for her life.
Following her rescue, Dr. Boudreau gave a brief lecture on the tactics CABAL employed to gain more 'recruits' for his army, and informed the GDI Commander that her team had successfully implanted a virus in one of the cyborgs (Huey), with the intention of getting him into CABAL's production facility to disrupt the expansion of CABAL's army, and give the GDI-Nod alliance a chance to destroy CABAL's core.
Paul: Commander, stand by. I'm having EVA conference Dr. Boudreau into this debriefing. EVA?
EVA: Incoming transmission from Daedalus Research Complex. Please stand by.
Dr. Boudreau: What are you doing about the assassination of Tratos, General? How could GDI let this happen? He was an integral-
Paul: Our forces have been spread thin, doctor. Not to mention, we're still unable to raise the Philadelphia.
DB: I was there. I saw the Kodiak go down. Unless you forget the point of this entire operation was to get the Tacitus to Tratos.
Paul: Let's save the recriminations. What do you have for us?
DB: The Daedalus Team and I are still convinced the Tacitus is our best approach. The assassination of Tratos has put us months, if not years, off schedule. At the present rate of Tiberium organic synthesis within a year, maybe less, our atmosphere will be 100% toxic to humans.
Paul: EVA, what alternatives to deciphering this Tacitus are at our disposal?
DB: Actually Paul, I have an idea. You're not gonna like it. CABAL, Kane's AI.
Paul: You're serious? EVA, analysis.
