So, what do you reckon Kane needs the Tacitus for? And what will happen to LEGION because of it?

It obviously has something to do with the tresholds and interstellar travel, judging from the ending. So I was thinking Kane can use it to activate the remaining treshold and so travel to some other world.

if u finished the old game on the nodies u found out that these are portals to another world. in the ords of the messiah " they are the gateways to our ascension" so they are a portal and tactius is most likely a way to either turn it on our a key to make it work properly

i have a question...forgive me if i missed something, but didnt C&C3 take place around 2046 or so? So how the hell are u still on earth fighting GDI in 2050-something? didnt kane enter the scrin tower like 4 yrs previous to that?

someone clear this up for me plz...

very very very good point EA did not think of that

so i do have a valid point...ok, someone explain plz...

If I remember correctly, but I'd have to rewatch the cutscene to be sure, the last cutscene in Tiberium Wars was in the Australian command center. So no, Kane did not enter the tower (yet).

While he did save the tower from being destroyed, the tower did seem to go dormant when the scrin were destroyed and thus Kane never had the chance to lead the brotherhood through it.

My guess is that he needs the Tacitus to get the thing working, hence he designed LEGION to track it down and recapture it. Since LEGION was sabotaged in the third Tiberium War, Kane had to wait until it was fixed to retrieve the Tacitus. As is seen in the game. Kane always prepares his plans well, but things can still go wrong.

I assume we'll see the continuation of the story in Tiberium and not in another expansion pack. While GDI fights off the Scrin invasion, Kane will probably try (and hopefully succeed) to travel through the treshold.

ok, ture..that last scene was indeed in the australian outpost...i just thought i heard him mention ascention, as if he was going there at that moment..
sorry for the mix up..

No, I thought the same thing first. It does seem that way when you first look at it, but it was just never actually confirmed.
