This page includes a transcript of Greed of the Vanquished, the first Imperial mission of Uprising.[1]

Introduction[]

Tatsu: Ah, Commander. It's good to see that there is still loyalty for my father's legacy. The Allies occupy our lands and believe that our war machine is dormant. But they do not realize how deeply we honor our traditions. As one of the last samurai standing, the Empire needs your sword. The Soviets are taking advantage of our defeat and making a play for Empire territory. Under the very noses of the Allies, they are attacking Sakhalin Island. Commander Kenji is doing his best, but he cannot hold out for much longer. You must come to his aid and beat back the Soviet advance.

Briefing[]

Mission summary[]

Intel Officer: Our national defense force on Sakhalin Island is under attack by Soviet forces. Commander Kenji has requested immediate backup, which you will provide. Due to the Allied occupation of our country, our best option is to sneak a small number of Engineers behind enemy lines. Once there, have them capture the Soviet structures so that you can use their own forces against them. Honor the late Emperor's dreams.

Mission objectives[]

  1. Rendezvous with the Soviet Reinforcements
  2. Destroy the Soviet Forward Base
  3. Commander Kenji Must Survive

Loading screen[]

CROWN PRINCE TATSU - After the death of his father, the Empire's citizens feared for his only son. But rather than fall prey to desperation or despair, Prince Tatsu did something no one, not even the Allies, expected: He surrendered, and agreed to cooperate with the Allies to put an end to their war. The Imperial people perceived this surprising move as both bold and cowardly in equal measure.

Mission script[]

Primary Objective 1: Rendezvous with the Soviet Reinforcements[]

[A Sudden Transport arrives at Kenji's base (light blue).]

Kenji: Ah, you're here to help me. Good! We don't have much time. Move into position so you can be transported behind the enemy.

[A fleet of Kenji's Imperial naval units battle against Soviet naval forces.]

Giles: Good morning, sir. I'm Director Giles from the Office of Occupational Forces. I know you're in a bit of a tight spot there... but we can't help you right now, unfortunately. We're in a bit of a bind ourselves over here. Sorry.
Intel Officer: Commander, the Soviets are reinforcing their attacks from a small outpost in the northwestern region of this area. Disguise your transport as one of the Soviet reinforcement vehicles and rendezvous with them. We expect they will lead you straight to the unprotected edge of their base.
Intel Officer: Commander Kenji is holding off the Soviet assault. You are his reinforcements -prevent the Soviets from overwhelming his base, or they will push deeper into Imperial domain.
Imperial troop: Those tanks are just crushing everything!
Imperial troop: What are those monstrosities?!

[When the player's Sudden Transport reaches the outpost while disguised as a non-amphibious Soviet naval unit]

Soviet troop: Uh...why is one of our ships on land...?

[When the player's Sudden Transport reaches the outpost while disguised as an amphibious Soviet naval unit or a Soviet vehicle unit]

Soviet troop: There's something fishy about that one vehicle there, but I can't put my finger on it...

[Four Hammer Tanks emerge to either side of the player's Sudden Transport. Five Twinblades each pick up one of the vehicles and deploy them across varous parts of the battlefield.]

Soviet troop: Reinforcements en route for dropoff.

[After the player's Sudden Transport is dropped into the rear of the Soviet's main base]

Soviet troop: Our Grinders will turn your pathetic vehicles into dust!

Primary Objective 3: Capture the Soviet V.I.P. Bunker[]

Kenji: You follow instructions well. Now head out and capture that Soviet base to the west.
Intel Officer: Commander, the Soveits have a V.I.P. bunker located in a small base to the west. Capture that bunker to bring the base under your control.

[When the player captures the V.I.P. bunker]

Intel Officer: Now that you have access to military forces, use them to break the Soviet front lines.

Primary Objective 4: Destroy the Soviet Forward Base[]

Intel Officer: The Soviet reinforcements will continue unless their outpost to the northwest is destroyed. Take down their outpost as quickly as possible. [Prompts Bonus Objective 1: Destroy the Outpost]

[When the player's forces attacks the enemy]

Soviet troop: What the...our own forces are attacking US?!

[When enemy Grinders arrive at the player's base from the south entrance]

Oleg: Have you seen my new toy? I call it the Grinder... ...because that what it does. Now watch as everything in their path becomes minced metal.
Imperial troop: There's too many of them, retreat and regroup!
Soviet troop: They're retreating, push forward, push forward! OORAH!

[When the player destroys all of the indicated Soviet base strucutres]

Intel Officer: Now that the Soviets' base has been destroyed, finish off their remaining Grinder vehicles before they cause more harm. [Prompts Primary Objective 5: Destroy the Grinders]

Completion[]

Oleg: I am so sorry to tell you I'm going to have to leave you now. I have other more-pressing matters that require my attention. But do not grow sad. We will meet again.

Failure[]

[When the player's Sudden Transport is destroyed before Primary Objective 1 is completed.]

Intel Officer: Your Sudden Transport has been destroyed. It was key to the success of this mission. You have failed.

[When the player loses all of their Engineers during Primary Objective 3]

Intel Officer: You've lost too many Engineers. They were essential to the mission. Mission aborted.

[When the player's key production structures of their base are destroyed/sold]

Intel Officer: Your base of operations has been wiped out. The mission has failed.

[When failing Primary Objective 2: Commander Kenji Must Survive by having the key production structures of Kenji's base being destroyed]

Intel Officer: Commander Kenji's forces have been annihilated. You have failed Prince Tatsu.
