The '''Computer Assisted Biologically Augmented Lifeform''' ('''CABAL''') is an [[artificial intelligence]] in the [[Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series|Tiberian Series]] of [[Command & Conquer]].

Its purpose is twofold: it acts as a [[console]] interface between battlefield soldiers and their commander, and collates [[military espionage|intelligence]] and devises [[strategy]] of its own. It also knows how to translate the [[Tacitus (C&C)|Tacitus]], an object which holds all recorded knowledge of [[Tiberium]], compiled by the [[Scrin]]. Its function is parallel to [[Global Defense Initiative|GDI]]'s [[Electronic Video Agent|EVA]].
==Origin==
CABAL's origin is unknown (it is speculated that it is of [[Scrin]] origin). It was first acquired by the [[Brotherhood of Nod]] near the end of the [[Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series#Command & Conquer: Tiberian Dawn (1995)|First Tiberium War]]. When GDI commandos stormed [[Kane (C&C)|Kane's]] [[Temple of Nod|temple]] during the Sarajevo battle, they could hear it malfunctioning from the Temple damage. Between the First and [[Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series#Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun (1999)|Second Tiberium Wars]], Nod agents re-housed CABAL in a core in Egypt. CABAL assisted Kane loyalists in the overthrow of the [[Global Defense Initiative]]'s puppet Nod leader [[Hassan_%28C%26C%29Command & Conquer: Renegade|Hassan]].

==Game Involvement==
{{spoiler}}
During the Second Tiberium War, CABAL was used as Nod's AI and Kane's artificial right-hand man. [[Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series#Firestorm Expansion (2000)|After the war]], remnants of Nod's Second Tiberium War force reactivated it, thinking they could use it as their AI again. GDI also wanted CABAL, so they could use it to translate the Tacitus after the assassination of mutant leader [[Tratos]] - by forces controlled by (unknown to them)(contracted; show full)==See also==
