“I suppose not,” the alien muttered with a roll of her eyes. This was going to be a train wreck, she could feel it.
"Alright then, let's move it people. Celeste you're with me. Jacob, John, do your thing."
Havoc then gently grabbed Celeste's arm and moved around the sand dune towards the back of the Communications Center. The plan was simple; get in, open the door from the inside, shut down the signal and get back to the others. Easy, right?
"Hope you're as good with those weapons as you are good at being good lookin', because these guys won't play around."
@Jackythejack
When Jacob and John would approach the front gate to the Communicator Center, they would be stopped by two Nod Soldiers:

"Hold it there."
"What are you two doing? This is Brotherhood of Nod territory, state your business."
@dark @Lucky
Meanwhile back with the others...
"So you're trying to tell me that you're not exactly from around here, but at the same time you are?"
"Affirmative, Tanya."
"I'm not so sure I can trust you."
"Whatever you believe in, know this; I do not intend to bring any harm to these young ones until I return home to the motherland."
"If you say so..."
Tanya turned to the others and crossed her arms.
"The fact you all survived this long in what is probably the most dangerous desert going right now in the world, is quite impressive to say the least. Once we get back to America, we'll get you up to speed on current events. We're... dealing with a lot of stuff right now."
@Takumi @amwexia @Minerva @Lucky
"America?" Shou blinked. Why couldn't they just take her back to Japan, surely she could find Namae and Haijima-sensei on her own if they took her to the nearest airport!
"I'd rather just...return home to Japan, so once we're out of the desert you can just point me to the nearest airport and I could figure it out...hopefully." Shou said almost sheepishly as she scratched her cheek.
From the way things seemed it felt like a war started while she was asleep, and she was starting to worry about her family now.
This immediately caught Tanya's attention, staring her down, moving her right hand slowly down her leg towards what would be seen as a holster for a Desert Eagle pistol.
"Your Japanese...?"
@Takumi
Shou caught on to her movements, watching her in confusion.
"Uh, Yes?" She replied, heavily confused and weary at the woman's behavior. Did she have a thing against the Japanese too?
If Tanya tried to shoot, Shou would quickly put up a dome shaped barrier around her and those behind her in an attempt to block or deflect the bullets.
"Look. I'm only going to say this once. The guys back at base will explain things far easier than me. Your beloved Japan is currently waging a war across the entire world, killing anyone and anything in their way."
"Why have I only just heard this information?"
"Hell if I know, "comrade." But what's important is that you aren't going to back-stab me."
@Takumi
"What?" Shou stared at Tanya in pure disbelief.
"I didn't hear anything about a war..." She muttered. Was she asleep longer than she realized when she was brought here?
"A-as long as you don't try to shoot anyone there won't be any problems." Shou countered.

" We're some new recruits. We were sent scouting earlier to look for any enemies that may have been nearby. We haven't found anything strange yet, though the day is still young. We came back to report to the commander."
"Oh you're the scouts our Commander was talking about?"
"I don't know man. I don't remember ever sending a scouting party."
"Don't you remember? You didn't want to because exploring our history was more fun than hanging around in a desert."
"Fair enough."
"Sigh... Ignore him. I distinctively remember there being more than two of you in the squad. What happened to the other scouts?"
@Lucky @dark
"Ahem. Right here."
A rough, boyish voice emerged from a short figure hiding his/her face.

"If you don't mind, we're a tad bit off schedule. We don't have time for chit-chat."
“Y-yeah... we’ll just w-wait...” Lina said, finally, after not speaking for like, what, an hour?
Asher would not have any questions as he would have tripped, fallen and been scooped up by John who he had cuddled up to and was currently sleeping on. " If I may ask,what exactly is Tiberium?"
"Plenty of them, actually. Let's start with something basic."
The strange veiled rough-voiced person unveiled their mask, revealing...

"... what is the current year and date?"
"The 21st century, almost half into its lifespan? How interesting. This Tiberium you speak of... I would like to examine it at some point. It is rare to find a truly wonderful thing on Earth, but it is even rarer to find such a thing off it."
