Background on the Scrin Traveler Sect

If Reaper-17 embody the darkest impulses of the Scrin, the benignly named Traveler sect represent something far more insidious. Trained from birth in the art of subterfuge, Traveler cells specialize in nothing less than the infiltration, destabilization and eventual enslavement of entire rival species. Where the Cult of Reaper seek to dominate through brute force, making bloody examples of those who oppose them, Traveler instead attempt to draw as little attention to themselves as possible. Traveler pods will blink-teleport into hostile territory and deploy Prodigy units - Tiberium-mutated Masterminds with significantly enhanced mental faculties - bringing the entire population under Scrin control within days.

Traveler-59 is the most recent cell raised to full active duty, and has yet to be verified as combat-ready on the battlefield. Recently attached to the Scrin mining fleet on the far side of Pluto, the cell has activated far-reaching scanning technology to locate its first host planet. In addition, the cell has been outfitted with a new, more efficient form of enslavement - twisted offspring of the Prodigy capable of being implanted directly into the cerebral cortex of an abducted life form. The victims gain limited mind control abilities...at the cost of complete subservience.

The Earth shall be their proving ground...

思金旅行者教派的背景

如果说收割者-17代表了思金人最黑暗的冲动，那么被亲切命名的旅行者教派则代表了更为阴险潜伏的东西。旅行者单元从出生起就被训练诡计的艺术，擅长渗透、破坏稳定并最终奴役整个竞争对手物种。收割者教派试图通过暴力统治，对反对他们的人进行血腥惩戒，旅行者则相反，试图尽可能少地对他们自己的注意。旅行者分离舱将瞬间传送到敌方领土，并部署超凡者单位——泰伯利亚突变的摄魂师，具有显著增强的智力——在几天内将整个族群置于思金人的控制之下。

旅行者-59是最近升为现役的单元，而且还没有被证实可以在战场上战斗。这个单元最近附属于冥王星远端的思金采矿舰队，它已经启动了远程扫描技术来定位它的第一个宿主行星。此外，这个单元还配备了一种新的、更有效的奴役形式——“超凡者”的扭曲后代，能够直接植入被绑架生命形式的大脑皮层。受害者获得有限的精神控制能力…以完全服从为代价。

地球将成为他们的试验场…
