Weather the Storm

Weather the Storm is the eleventh and penultimate GDI mission of Tiberian Sun.Westwood Studios, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. GDI mission 11: "Weather the Storm".
==EVA briefing==
BE ADVISED: Kane is determined to destroy you. He knows the Kodiak cannot lift off during an ion storm and has chosen this moment to attack. The Kodiak must be protected until the storm abates. The storm will interfere with certain types of equipment so expect some malfunction.
* Objective One: Protect the Kodiak at all costs.
* Objective Two: Destroy all Nod forces.
==Background==
The Banshee prototype facility had been destroyed. Unfortunately, Umagon had been captured by Nod forces and brought before Kane himself. McNeil was determined to rescue Umagon, but the Kodiak had been grounded in an ion storm.
==Events==
Kane used the ion storm to his advantage and ordered nearby Nod forces to destroy the Kodiak. McNeil had managed to deploy his troops beforehand and prepared to establish his base surrounding the ship. Cut off from the Philadelphia because of the storm, GDI reinforcements would not be expected.
However, the defense of the Kodiak would be difficult since the ion storm interfered with certain types of equipment. Hover MLRS, Jumpjet Infantry and all aircraft were grounded, rendering them mostly useless (although Jumpjet Infantry could still move on ground level without taking off). Furthermore, with the radar out, Nod would be able to launch stealth and siege attacks effectively without warning, even without its air arsenal. Luckily for McNeil, the EMP Cannon was still functioning properly so he used this to great effect on the Nod artillery while the Titans took care of the rest.
With the Kodiak relatively secured, McNeil sent out his Disruptors to locate and destroy the Nod forces. Mobile Sensor Arrays were useful to detect the cloaked base. Having detected the base, the Disruptors destroyed Nod's production facilities, preventing them from attacking the Kodiak again.
The ion storm temporarily abated mid-way throughout the battle, allowing air units to take to the skies and the radar to function properly for a time; however, it seems McNeil was not confident enough in this to evacuate the Kodiak from the battle - or, perhaps, he simply chose to remain with his forces until the battle was done.
==Aftermath==
After the battle was over, the Kodiak took off before more Nod forces could arrive. Ghost Stalker would later contact McNeil to inform him that he located Kane and Umagon in Cairo, with Nod about to launch their World Altering Missile, leading to the final battle in Egypt.
