This page includes a transcript of Tanya's Tale, the fifth Allied mission of Command & Conquer: Red Alert.[1]
Introduction[]
Allied Information Network Newscast[]
AIN reporter: Government leaders have abandoned the capital and are now hiding in exile. Information out of occupied Athens has been sporadic, but Soviet forces are indeed in control of the capital as well as much of the outlying territories in Greece. In the city fighting among Allied and Soviet troops continues, but the Allied death toll is rising rapidly. Now it remains to be seen if Allied forces will be able to weather this onslaught intact. Reacting to this latest assault, Allied diplomats led the United Nations in a 281 to 7 vote, that in approving a unique military funding initiative aimed at increasing global Allied support. This proposal calls for the formation of a global defense agency to be temporarily established in an as-yet unnamed European capital.
Stavros and Von Esling's Briefing[]
Von Esling: Sounds bad does it not? Well, it is, but Stalin has just written his obituary. At last, this will help us galvanize the rest of the world against him. Yes, we have lost Greece, but we are not out just yet. Stalin may think so, but if we can continue to count on the talents of commanders like yourself, we will come through this war on top. My old friend-
Von Esling gets interrupted by his tracker's rapid beeping.
Von Esling: One of Tanya's men, she found something. But Russian security agents have captured her. They will almost certainly take her back to Moscow. We must get her back, she has vital information on the Iron Curtain project. That information could help tip the scales in our favor.
Stavros slams table and leaves in grief and frustration.
Von Esling: Let him clear his head, in this state he is of no use to us. The Soviets currently hold Tanya near Grodno. The prison is well guarded, but a supply truck from a nearby Soviet base runs through the facility several times a day. If your spies can infiltrate the war factory, they may be able to hitch a ride into the prison compound. Once you have found Tanya, get her out of there any way you can.
Tanya's Tale[]
Interrogator: [Laughs] Such a pretty face. Where is Professor Einstein?
Tanya spits onto the interrogator.
Interrogator: I was hoping you'd say that.
The interrogator gets up and prepares to inject Tanya. Tanya screams when he grabs her on the neck.
Interrogator: I'm afraid the effects are quite... permanent. [Chuckles]
Just as the interrogator injects Tanya, she kicks him onto a table, stabbing himself with the needle on his chest. Angered, the interrogator punches Tanya in the face.
Briefing[]
Rescue Tanya. Your spy can move past any enemy unit, except dogs, without being detected. Direct him into the weapons factory located at a nearby Soviet Base where he will hijack a truck and free Tanya. With Tanya's help, take out the air defenses on the island and a Chinook will arrive to rescue her. Then destroy all remaining Soviet buildings and units.

Completion[]
The interrogator approaches to examine a beaten Tanya.
Interrogator: So very pretty, but oh so stubborn...
The interrogator cocks his gun and prepares to execute Tanya. Suddenly, the Allied spy arrives but he gets shot in the chest. Tanya manages to trap the interrogator under her chair. The dying spy throws his gun into Tanya's tied hands back of the chair. The interrogator manages to grab his gun, but Tanya aimlessly shoots him in the head multiple times.
