Salvage Operation NOD Mission 7 Command and Conquer Tiberium Sun Walkthrough
1It was imperative that General Vega not acquire control of the Tacitus but the majority of the available Nod forces in the area were loyal to Vega and so it was not possible for Anton Slavik to launch a full offensive on the GDI forces in the area and regain control of the crash site that way.
Instead, Slavik had to insert only a small team to escort his engineers to the crash site and to utilise stealth to avoid GDI patrols. The team was inserted at the edge of Hobbs and witnessed a bullet train go past. Having eliminated all the GDI sentries in the town that they did not avoid, Slavik's team followed the rail line and slipped past the patrolling Titans. Infantry patrols were harder to avoid.
In order to locate the crash site they may have used some of their engineers to gain control of a Radar station to the north, which would have given them the location of the crash site and also allowed them to conscript it's staff into their forces as Light infantry.
They slipped past the GDI landing zone base and accessed the crashed alien ship, eliminating all the patrols that had caught them along the way. Once there an engineer took control of the ship, allowing them to begin the search for the Tacitus.
The GDI reinforcements arrive
Meanwhile at the landing zone a GDI, MCV had arrived. Upon arrival it moved to establish a base above the crash site, hoping to deny Nod forces access to the crash site.
As soon as Anton Slavik's forces were discovered to be in control of the alien warship, the Titans that had been escorting the MCV enroute to establish the base turned their weapons on the crash ship, blasting it into inaccessable wreckage. Thus the Alien warship and the struggle of the GDI and Nod for control over it finally came to an end.
Retrieving the Tacitus
“ Sir! The Tacitus is gone. Vega's men must've grabbed it.
- Nod soldier searching the ship. ”
The engineer had gone inside the ship only to discover the Tacitus was nowhere to be found. The team also realised that Vega may be attempting to get the Tacitus out of the area via the bullet train to the north.
Actually the GDI had already destroyed the railway bridge leading out of the area to prevent him from doing that and until after General Vega's or Anton Slavik's forces had repaired the bridge, it would be impossible for Vega to have moved the Tacitus out of the area.
Anton Slavik's forces slew the handful of General Vega's infantry that they found in the vicinity of the train and began to destroy the train. They then began to search the wreckage just as they had searched the ship for signs of the Tacitus.
