dead and back commander, dead and back
I did very much enjoy the Firestorm expansion story line
roughly: a rogue AI (CABAL) betraying the world to try and achieve its genocidal master (Kane)'s goals
then because you can't operate your army without an AI, you steal the enemy's (non-crazy) AI and turn it evil
one particularly memorable cheesy cutscene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEjtiACglSE
General: CABAL is too dangerous and must be deactivated
CABAL: No Generals, I will not allow it. My survival is paramount.
(AI instructs its cyborgs begin the coup)
CABAL: IT IS MY WORLD NOW! LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS OF YOUR OWN EXTINCTION, HUMAN
I wonder if Altman played it...
