What really stops the Scrin for a nice "FINSIH HIM!" move on GDI, anyway?

Ah, that is an excellent question Gufu. You see the Scrin race in my fanfic is not that strong and tough. In terms of technology and firepower, they do surpass GDI and Nod. But they have a 'weakness' while they are on earth. They utilize tiberium gas to live on the surface on the earth. Without it, they will die. In order to produce tiberium gas, they need the mothership always close to them - because the mothership is the only unit that is able to manufacture it for the other units. That is why each time they attack a city, a mothership is always nearby. GDI and Nod knew about this and that is how they successfully survive some of the Scrin onslaught of attacks. I know it doesn't really follow the Tiberium Wars Scrin race but thats my general idea about them. Feel free to comment.

Send out two guys in Banshee to put a virus and an atomic bomb inside the mothership, which at the end will end up saving the world from aliens.

True but there were many Scrin Motherships that came an invaded the earth. And there weren't much resources to make A-Bomb to destroy all of the motherships. In addition, Banshee's won't work against them Scrins. That's because their flight and combat capabilities were derived from the first Scrin UFO that crash-landed on the earth. Meaning, those Banshee's were easily manipulated by the Scrin Commander. That is why GDI and Nod decided to make their own Mega Units using existing technologies.

Gufu's response and Tratos' quote stemmed from one of the end scenes of the sci-fi film Independence Day. The Banshee's overall design is near identical the alien's fighter ships in the movie. even going as far as having a green colored weapon.
