Introduction

[Allied Headquarters]
[Present Day]

Stavros: Commander. [Sits down]

Von Esling: The last transmission?

Stavros: 0900 hours. Since then, nothing.

Von Esling: Perhaps Einstein escaped?

Stavros: Too much to hope for, General. He would have contacted us by now.

Tanya Adams arrives and greets Von Esling.

Stavros: This is classified!

Tanya: I know.

Von Esling: I sent for her.

Stavros: General Von Esling she is a civilian!

Tanya: That's why I don't get killed.

Von Esling: Commander, this is Tanya Adams, a professional... volunteer. She will work with you on this mission.

Von Esling turns on monitor, showing a Soviet research base.

Von Esling: Somewhere inside this research center, the Soviets hold Albert Einstein. We need him back, immediately. Get Tanya inside, so she can get Einstein out. Once you have located him, bring him back to your drop off point for immediate evacuation. Be careful, the base is heavily fortified, but not invincible.

Stavros: Their weakness is power. Blackout the base and nothing will stop you. Good luck.

Briefing

Rescue Einstein from the Headquarters inside this Soviet complex. Once found, evacuate him via the helicopter at the signal flare. Einstein and Tanya must be kept alive at all costs. Beware the Soviet's Tesla Coils. Direct Tanya to destroy the westmost power plants to take them off-line.

Mission script

[Find Einstein.]

[Get Einstein to the helicopter.]
