The Messiah Returns

The Messiah Returns is the first Nod mission in Tiberian Sun.Westwood Studios, Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun. Nod mission 1: "The Messiah Returns".
==CABAL briefing==
Hassan is determined to stop you at any cost. He has pursued us back to a small base near his HQ. We must fend off his assault and build a Tiberium Refinery so we have the means to strike back.
* Objective One: Get production online by building a Tiberium Refinery.
* Objective Two: Destroy all of Hassan's Elite Guard.
==Background==
After the First Tiberium War in part due to the apparent death of Kane, Nod's unity collapsed and the organization splintered. The resulting Nod splinter factions in the eastern hemisphere eventually coalesced under the control of Hassan. But Hassan had a shameful secret, in return for allowing him to safely remain in charge of the Brotherhood he would carefully limit the level of hostilities between Nod and GDI forces to within certain bounds acceptable to the GDI. 
Even as Nod forces fought the GDI in many places believing Hassan to be with them; he for his part had arranged that they would never actually win and in return GDI would never utterly crush Nod holdings. But some individuals power could not be contained so easily and one such individual was Anton Slavik, the leader of the Black Hand; he would have to be removed.
He was sentenced to death on a false charge of GDI espionage. The execution was to be carried out in public and transmitted via the Nod News Network to Nod followers worldwide. The method? Lethal injection (with a "100% toxin and no sedative" mixture). 
The execution was proceeding smoothly until Slavik was suddenly liberated by a group of anti-Hassan rebels led by Oxanna Kristos. After being transported to the Montauk, Slavik swiftly reassumed command after killing a man who had betrayed him to Hassan.
Acting on CABAL's advice, he had retreated to the main rebel base in Libya to regroup and prepare to retaliate against the enemy.
==Events==
Hassan's Elite Guard had been sent to kill Slavik and Oxanna as part of a cover-up of the earlier incident. But they had underestimated the power of the Black Hand and the support that Slavik had among them.
Running into laser turrets they had not expected to encounter the Elite Guards' advance was swiftly halted. Once inside the base Slavik was able to defeat Hassan's forces after assembling a force of light infantry.
==Aftermath==
Having defeated the force of Elite Guards, Slavik was able to swiftly secure the surrounding area. The First Nod Reunification War had begun.
