1* How does Kane [[https://youtu.be/Afgkmy9PnqM?t=47 announce his return to General Solomon]]? [[{{Troll}} Hijacking the communications of GDI's HQ and greeting him with "You'll come for the sunshine, but stay for the people."]] It's surprisingly humorous despite Kane's tone.
2* In the GDI campaign, we have Mack's various expressions.
3** His look and the incredulous "Sir?" when Solomon tells him that Kane's back.
4** His expression when Umagon tells him off for implying that she has to take orders from him. You can tell that he's silently snarking, "Ok, that didn't go so well..."
5* Speaking of Mack, when he declares that he only cares about rescuing Tratos as long as the guy can lead him to Vega, Umagon angrily asks him "Do you love ''nothing?''" Without missing a beat, Mack immediately replies "I love to win" in an almost bored tone.
6* At the end of "Destroy Vega's Base," Kane gives Caesar Vega a talking-down-to when Vega pleads for reinforcements, suggesting he take lessons from [=McNeil=] that he'll carry for the rest of his life... all seven minutes of it. Kane proceeds to punish Vega's [[YouHaveFailedMe failure]] by ordering a nuke to strike his command center which makes Vega [[OhCrap reach out in a pleading gesture]]. Kane's almost-amused facial expression at the beginning of the video conference can elicit laughter on its own.
7* The Nod campaign starts off with the BlackComedy of the propaganda newscast's "Today's Execution" feature, as Maychek and Oxanna cheerily describe the impending fate of the condemned.
8-->'''Maychek:''' Good evening. By permission of General Hassan himself, it is with great honor that we bring you the following [[PublicExecution live execution.]] One vision, one purpose. Oxanna?\
9'''Oxanna:''' One vision, one purpose, Maychek.\
10'''Maychek:''' I can tell from all the virt-comm traffic tonight that this execution is a special one.\
11'''Oxanna:''' Yes, ''very'' special. I've been told the mixture this evening is 100% toxin and ''no'' sedative. If everything goes as planned, our traitor should remain fully conscious to the painful end.\
12'''Maychek:''' We'll keep our fingers crossed!
13** After Oxanna saves Slavik from certain death by execution she delivers the following reprisal of EVA's welcome-back message:
14--->'''Oxanna:''' [[LegallyDead Dead and back, Commander. Dead and back.]]
15** When Slavik arrives back at the ''Montauk'', he is none the wiser when dealing with his would-be replacement:
16--->'''Rogue Liutennant:''' (''stunned look'') ...Sir! it's an honour to have you [[KilledMidSentence back-]]\
17(''BLAM'')\
18'''Slavik:''' Traitor.
19** And then there's CABAL's EstablishingCharacterMoment, showing that he's certainly not a knock-off EVA unit.
20--->'''CABAL:''' [[AC:A division of Hassan's elite guard is closing in on our position. The probability of a favourable outcome can be increased if we can return to our main base and engage the enemy as we move.]]\
21'''Slavik:''' Define "favourable outcome," CABAL.\
22'''CABAL:''' [[AC:They all]] ''[[AC:die]].''\
23'''Slavik:''' (''without missing a beat'') That'll do. Let's go, no man or structure stays standing.
24* During the second Nod mission cutscene, Maychek is reading out Slavik and Oxanna's death reports while they are watching from the ''Montauk'':
25-->'''Maychek:''' In a related story, we were all saddened to learn that our colleague, Oxanna Kristos, was killed in a tunnel collapse near her home. The death was ruled accidental by authorities.\
26'''Slavik:''' I hear you're dead, Lieutenant. Rest in peace.
27* Which leads to the third Nod mission, after you capture a television studio.
28-->'''Maychek:''' Reliable sources onboard the orbiting ''Philadelphia'' have confirmed that GDI scientists, working on biological weapons intended for innocent civilians, released a deadly virus into the...\
29(''Maychek is interrupted by Oxanna casually walking in and filling the vacant newscasting space next to him'')\
30'''Maychek:''' [[OhCrap Well, this... is a surprise...]]\
31'''Oxanna:''' Please, continue.\
32'''Maychek:''' (''visibly gathers himself'') Head of GDI forces General Soloman is said to have become mentally unstable. [[KilledMidSentence The-]]\
33''(BLAM)''\
34'''Oxanna:''' (''sets her pistol down'') In other news, General Hassan's weak and impotent rule was overthrown today, when forces within the Brotherhood rose up to unite under a new leader...
35* Four missions into ''Firestorm''[='s=] Nod campaign, Slavik and the other squabbling Nod leaders realize that CABAL is authorizing missions on his own.
36-->'''Slavik:''' CABAL... you serve Nod. ''[[IAmTheNoun I AM Nod!]]'' CABAL, you serve-\
37(''his and the other Nod leaders' portraits disappear'')\
38'''CABAL:''' [[AC:[[FakeStatic Communications are not at optimal conditions due to increased ion activity in the lower atmosphere.]]]]
39* Later, after Slavik has a GDI EVA unit stolen for his own use, on the basis that while less advanced than CABAL, at least it won't try to kill them...
40-->'''Slavik:''' EVA, state attack analysis.\
41'''EVA:''' GDI casualty rates unacceptable. This course of action will-\
42'''Slavik:''' Stop! (''aside'') What's our status on the EVA reprogramming?\
43''({{Beat}})''\
44'''Technician:''' (''offscreen'') Done.\
45'''Slavik:''' Activate it.\
46'''EVA:''' Nod casualty rate well within acceptable parameters.\
47'''Slavik:''' Much better.
