This page includes a transcript of Blood in the Water, the third Imperial mission of Uprising.[1]
Introduction[]
- Tatsu: Commander, you have honored my family with your victory at Oki Island. But now it is time to take the fight to the aggressors. We must make Moskvin and Oleg regret that they ever stood up against the Rising Sun. Attack Vladivostok and erase every trace of the Soviet presence. Once this is done, the Pacific will be ours and our control over these waters will be as it was before the war. Bring them to their knees, commander. Make them pay for their impudence!
Briefing[]
Mission summary[]
- Intel Officer: The Soviets' attack on the Oki Islands shall not go unpunished, on order of Prince Tatsu. You are being given the honor of retaliating against the Soviet commanders responsible. Your target will be the Soviet port of Vladivostok, which is the staging area for the recent Soviet attacks on our territory. Here are your objectives:
- Destroy Commander Oleg's base of operations. He's in charge of the Union's armor divisions.
- Destroy Commander Moskvin's base of operations. Many of the Union's experimental weapons are under his command.
The Allies may not sit idly by once the fighting begins. They must not interrupt our plans. Do this and honor the memory of our Emperor.

COMMANDER NIKOLAI MOSKVIN - As the Union was thrown into chaos after the battle of Leningrad, this impetuous young commander, who was previously kept on a short leash due to concerns with his psychological disposition, quietly slipped away. He has lost none of his zeal for battle and still leads a small number of seasoned soldiers, who follow out of fear or respect.
Mission script[]
Primary Objective 1: Eliminate the Soviet Frontline Base[]
[A view of Oleg's (red) main base is seen.]
- Tatsu: Time to end the enemy threat. This is the Soviet base responsible for these attacks. Clear the nearby outpost and establish a foothold.
[A view of Oleg's frontline base is then shown.]
- Intel Officer: Eliminate this Soviet frontline base and use the land as a staging area for your assault.
- Oleg: What is this? You think you can defeat me with such a puny force? This will be easier than my fight with my wife last night.
Primary Objective 2 and 3: Defeat Commanders Oleg and Moskvin[]
[When the player completes the objective, a scene featuring a small fleet of Stingrays and a Dreadnought advancing towards the player's base, only to be destroyed by the newly arrived Giga-Fortress under the player's control.]
- Tatsu: I am granting you our newest, most powerful weapon... the Giga-Fortress. Show no mercy, Commander, for they have shown us none.
- Intel Officer: The Soviet base that launched the attacks on our land is vulnerable. It must be destroyed.
- Soviet troop: Whaa-- That thing's bigger than a Kirov! Quickly, we need anti-air to take down that monstrosity!
- Intel Officer: Commander -- Prince Tatsu has cleared you to use the newly-designed Giga-Fortress. It switches between sea and air forms to devestate anything in the Soviet arsenal. You now have authorized clearance to construct Giga-Fortress Cores from your Imperial Docks.
- Imperial troop: The Giga-Fortress is here. Now victory will truly be ours!
- Moskvin: You again! You make me so furious, I want to commit a war crime!
[When one of the bases is destroyed]
- Imperial troop: This area's clear, let's keep going!
[When Oleg is defeated]
- Oleg: It was Commander Moskvin who let this happen... You win today. But don't think for a second that this means your lands are safe.
[When Moskvin is defeated]
- Moskvin: I don't know what happened. Oleg is surely to blame for this.
Bonus Objective 1: Eliminate Commander Giles' Base[]
- Giles: Just a smidge more sugar in the tea would be... Ah! Ko-nichi-wa, Commander. I'm afraid that you've, once again, broken the conditions of the post-war agreements. And now you, and these Russians, must be put down for this little uprising.
- Intel Officer: Caution -- the Allies are attempting to intervene in this battle. They are to be treated as a threat. Continue with this mission.
- Allied troop: You Empire scum won't get rid of us that easily.
[After some time passes, if Giles is still present]
- Giles: As you can plainly see, we've already beaten you. You should save a little dignity for the march back to Tokyo, methinks.
[After some time passes, when the player attacks Giles' base]
- Imperial troop: Arrogant Allies, always coming in and take all of the glory. Can't believe we're having to fight these guys as well as the Soviets.
- Allied troop: You're not supposed to be here! Now get back to your island and leave this to us pros!
[When Giles is defeated]
- Giles: Yes, I... Oh, good grief, look at the time. And I was having so much fun. Cheerio then.
- Allied troop: We've been given the retreat order. Pack up and move out!
Ending[]
- Tatsu: Well done, Commander. Recapturing Vladivostok was an essential part of my plan to bring the Empire back to its full power and glory. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Thanks to you, we are one step closer to our ultimate destiny.
