This page includes a transcript of Cologne, the fourteenth GDI mission of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars.[1]
Briefing[]
Take a scout team into Cologne to gather intelligence on the size of the alien force there, then retake a GDI base in the city and use it to build a strike force
James: Fantastic work, Commander. Your next target is what we believe to be a major alien presence here in Cologne. Once you determined the level of threat, we can land some reinforcements and help you retake a GDI base there. That should give you all the resources you need to wipe out the enemy. I'm sure you realize a victory here would... well, it would change the entire complexion of this war.

Cologne is under attack by the invaders and the city is in its last throes. However, initial recon has revealed that the GDI base in Cologne was left relatively intact by the enemy after it was abandoned by the garrison force when the alien attack started. An advance team is being dispatched to determine the size and scope of the alien presence in the city and you'll be in command. Once you determine what you're up against, we'll send you an engineering team to get the GDI base up and running again. Protect the engineers until they can reach the base, then build up a strike force and drive the aliens from Cologne altogether. It's not too late to save the city.
Mission script[]
EVA: Commander, GDI requires a forward base in order to successfully recapture Europe from the invaders. Cologne's GDI base was left relatively intact by the invasion. Reactivate the power grid and it will return to full functionality.

GDI soldier: Argh! They're everywhere!
GDI soldier: Aliens man, they freak me out.
GDI soldier: Good god, this city is crawling with them!
GDI soldier 1: Kind of makes you nostalgic for Nod, huh?
GDI soldier 2: Uh no it doesn't. The Brotherhood were at least human though, I'll give them that.

GDI soldier 1: Hey, this place is wrecked!

GDI soldier 1: It'll have to do, soldier! We have a city to take back, now get to work!
