Excerpt from a Nod orientation briefing for new recruits

Welcome to the Brotherhood of Nod. You have joined a global order with millions of members all working together in harmony to unite the world in the name of peace - and realize the true potential of mankind.

Our relationship with Tiberium has always been greatly misunderstood. Most people do not realize that the roots of our faith extend back several millennia, long before the emergence of the green crystal on Earth in 1995... an event prophesized by our great leader, Kane.

While the fascist political consortium of wealthy nations known as the Global Defense Initiative attempted to control the sacred green crystal, the Brotherhood worked tirelessly to acquire samples of the precious crystal... to study it, to unlock its potential as a new energy source, to explore its possibilities. Through our research and our faith, we have affirmed that Tiberium is the ultimate gift to mankind. It is the key to the future.

Our movement grew rapidly as Tiberium spread across the Earth. The mainstream media branded us as 'terrorists' but we exposed GDI as the real criminals. They unilaterally redrew international border lines, relegating Nod followers into inhospitable Yellow Zones while they claimed the pristine and exclusive Blue Zones all for themselves.

摘自Nod对新成员的情况介绍

欢迎加入Nod兄弟会。你加入了一个环球组织，数百万的人和睦相处，以和平的名义统一世界—并发挥人类真正的潜能。

我们与泰伯利亚的关系一直被极大地误解。大多数人没有认识到我们的信仰可以追溯到几千年前，早在1995年地球出现绿色晶体之前…这是我们伟大的领袖凯恩所预言的事件。

当富裕国家的法西斯政治联盟——被称为全球防卫组织（Global Defense Initiative）——企图阻止神圣绿色晶体生长的时候，兄弟会不知疲倦的工作，以获取珍贵的晶体样本…去研究它，释放它作为一种新能源的潜力，探索它的可能性。通过我们的研究和我们的信念，我们已经肯定泰伯利亚是给予人类的终极礼物。是通往未来的关键。

泰矿遍布全球，我们的势力也发展迅速。主流媒体给我们打上了“恐怖分子”的标签，但是我们揭露GDI才是真正的罪犯。他们单方面重新划分了国际边境线，把Nod追随者们流放到环境恶劣的黄区，却宣称未受泰矿损害，全部的蓝区受到他们独占。

译注：我怀疑加入Nod的不少黄区人只是单纯对GDI有仇恨，对泰矿其实没啥好感，毕竟泰矿把他家都毁了，所以说还是Nod会忽悠啊，笑死
