This page includes a transcript of A Much Brighter Future, the third Soviet mission of Uprising.[1]
Introduction[]
- Ted: There are reports of an attack on a remote FutureTech research facility in northern Russia. Local citizens apparently had no idea that such a facility was even located there.
- Brenda: Mr. President! What sort of research was FutureTech working on in such a remote part of Russia?
- Thornley: Erm, well, first, may I just reassure people, our first concern right now is finding the terrorist who perpetrated this cowardly attack. Now, I have full confidence that FutureTech is dedicated to making our world a better place. But, of course their employees, they can't be expected to build us a better future if they're working in fear of their very lives. Now, excuse me, we're late. Thank you.
- Dasha: It looks like our cold war is heating up. Our agents have traced the source of Thornley's reinforcements from your mission in Siberia.[note 1] The troops came from a military base located a half a world away in the Yucatan. The Allied command doesn't even know about this base. If they're not about to stop FutureTech, then we will. Whatever this group is building will surely be used to keep the Soviet people under their boot heel. Go to the Yucatan and destroy these forces which are protecting FutureTech.
Briefing[]
Mission summary[]
- Intel Officer: We have discovered a FutureTech military base in the Yucatan. It is the origin of forces that attacked in Siberia, and thus it is a threat and must be eliminated. A strike team under your command will lead the assault. Your mission objectives are:
- Bring down the Lookout Posts around the island. This will allow us to provide additional reinforcements without giving away our position.
- Intercept FutureTech's supply lines. We will use their own resources against them.
- Eliminate the FutureTech military base and any of its new weapons.
Tread lightly, Commander. The element of surprise is likely to be our only advantage during this operation.
Mission objectives[]
- Clear Hostile Forces from the Outer Islands
- Destroy the Prospectors
- Crush the FutureTech Military HQ
Mission script[]
Introduction[]
- Dasha: This tropical paradise has a large FutureTech and Allied presence. Advance cautiously. I'm trying to get you some more help, but for now you're on your own.
Primary Objective 1: Clear Hostile Forces from the Outer Islands[]
- Intel Officer: The first step is to eliminate any opposing forces on each island, including their Lookout Posts. We must gain a foothold here before we can launch a proper attack.
[When approaching Allied structures with explosive barrels next to them]
- Intel Officer: The Allies have carelessly placed explosive barrels next to vital structures.
[When all FutureTech-Allied units in the first island are killed]
- Intel Officer: The first island has been cleared. We are sending through a small reinforcement force now.
[Two Twinblades, one of them carrying a Sputnik, fly over to the first island. The Sputnik unpacks into an Outpost while the other Twinblade off-loads five Terror Drones.]
- Intel Officer: Reinforcements have arrived.
[When approaching the second island]
- Intel Officer: Switch a Terror Drone to its stasis weapon to lock enemy vehicles in place and prevent them from retreating.
[When all FutureTech-Allied units in the second island are destroyed]
- Intel Officer: The second island is now clear. A small reinforcement team is being dispatched to the area.
[Three Twinblades carrying a Sputnik, Bullfrog and a Sickle fly over to the second island and off-load the vehicles there. The Sputnik unpacks into an Outpost.]
- Intel Officer: Reinforcements have arrived.
[When all FutureTech-Allied units in the third island are killed/destroyed]
- Intel Officer: The third and final island is ours. Commander, a Construction Vehicle is en route to your location.
[Two Twinblades followed by a Soviet MCV arrive from the northwest corner of the battlefield. The two Twinblades offload their infantry passengers, being five Flak Troopers and five Terror Drones while the MCV unpacks at the pond of the island.]
- Intel Officer: Reinforcements have arrived.
Primary Objective 2: Destroy the Prospectors[]
- Dasha: You will probably need more funds. I'm working on it... It should only be a matter of time...
- Intel Officer: We have learned that FutureTech is expecting a large shipment of ore to fund the production of its military forces. Your objective is to intercept these shipments before they reach their destination. Eliminate the inbound Prospectors to collect their cargo.
[A total of 12 Twinblades each carrying a Reaper are offloaded to the three islands (four per island).]
- Intel Officer: We managed to secure a heavy prototype of the Sickle, which may be useful to you. It had an effective design but proved too costly to mass-produce.
[When the player destroys one of the Prospectors]
- Intel Officer: Once the resources are yours, waste no time in preparing an attack force with which to destroy FutureTech's facilities here. Expect fierce resistance.
[After the second wave of Prospectors and a Harbinger Gunship appear]
- Intel Officer: Commander -- sources indicate several large, unidentified aircraft are entering the battlefield. These are not our forces, prepare to defend yourself.
[After the third wave of Prospectors appear]
- Thornley: You just don't know how to keep your nose out of other people's business, do you? Well now, I'm going to have to show you what happens to those who are just a little too nosy.
- Intel Officer: It appears that FutureTech has been alerted to your presence. This concludes the infiltration phase of this mission. Begin the assault, and good luck.
Primary Objective 3: Crush the FutureTech Military HQ[]
[The Chronosphere is activated for the first time.]
- Intel Officer: Caution -- FutureTech is using a Chronosphere to transport ground vehicles across the water.
[When the player destroys/captures enough key Allied production structures]
- Thornley: You really are a pest, aren't you? Don't you understand, that when the Sigma Harmonizer becomes fully operational, your little struggle here won't mean bupkuss?
[When the player destroys/captures enough key Allied production structures]
- Dasha: It appears that FutureTech is trying to harness the ability to ...stop time. Or at least stop time for some objects, if not others. It's all very complicated, but apparently this technology is the basis for the Sigma Harmonizer!
Failure[]
[When the player has all of their forces destroyed during Primary Objective 1]
- Intel Officer: Your strike team has been eliminated. We have lost our opportunity to strike at FutureTech. Mission failed.
