This page includes a transcript of The Unfathomable Fortress, the fifth Allied mission of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3.[1]
Introduction[]
Bingham: Good show, Commander, bloody well done! Those Assault Destroyers you just reclaimed are going to be very useful in taking down those Island Fortresses.
Eva: Sir! Premier Cherdenko is on the line.
Bingham: Put him through, Lieutenant. Gentlemen.
Cherdenko enters the transmission, next to Natasha.
Cherdenko: Field Marshal Bingham, I wanted to personally thank you for all your efforts in making this partnership successful.
Bingham: Well that's appreciated, but you should thank our commander here. He's the one who led the assault on Gibraltar.
Cherdenko: It is indeed a pleasure, Commander. I hope you were satisfied with Natasha's contribution on the battlefield. She's one of our finest.
Bingham: Yes, well, we're going to need Natasha and every other resource at your command if we're going to take down that Floating Fortress in the North Atlantic.
Cherdenko: I concur.
Cherdenko: Good luck gentlemen.
Bingham: Thank you.
Cherdenko ends his transmission.
Bingham: This menace has put a choke hold on all naval movement in the North Sea. But with our Assault Destroyers and the help of the Soviets, we might just have a chance. Godspeed, Commander.
Briefing[]
Eva: I've never seen anything like this Fortress... no one has. It's a completely armed mobile city, dominating all waterways in the area. You'll need to take a more tactful approach. Coordinate your attack with the Soviet Navy. I know how you must feel about working with the Soviets... But Field Marshal Bingham is a very shrewd man. I'm sure he knows what he's doing.
Mission summary[]
Intelligence: We have organized a strike against the Empire's armada situated in the North Sea. We do not yet have accurate details about the composition of this fleet. This will be another joint operation with Soviet forces. Your first order of business will be the following:
- Assist in the salvage operation of a downed Imperial vessel.
- Our salvage ship will need to be defended whilst the information on the Empire's armada is recovered.
- Once the data is recovered, standby for further orders in the field.
Good luck.
Loading screen[]
Bombardment vehicles excel at taking down enemy base defenses. Should your enemy hunker down using advanced base defenses, roll in artillery to destroy them from long range! Better yet, take out the enemy's power structures to cause all those base defenses to shut down.
Mission script[]
Primary Objective 1: Protect the Salvage Ship[]
Intelligence: This sunken battleship contains details on the Imperial Floating Fortress nearby. Protect our recovery vessel while we extract the data. Keep the Japanese off our radar boat.
Intelligence: Enemy air targeting the recovery ship.
[Upon completing the objective]
Intelligence: Intelligence recovered...commence analysis.
Eva: The Empire's enormous floating fortress is nearby, but their long range artillery prevents us from approaching. Spotter ships patrol the waters all around. You must find those ships and take them out.
Primary Objective 2: Destroy the First Radar Ship[]
Intelligence: Commander, the Spies can take down the power to the guns, allowing Natasha to get close enough to destroy them. [Prompts Bonus Objective 1: Destroy the Generators]
The Imperial Radar Ship in the vicinity allow the Floating Fortress to attack long range targets. Destroy every Radar Ship you find.
Natasha: I have Radar Boat in sight. Is cowering behind gun emplacement... like child.
[When the player loses all of their Spies]
Intelligence: Intelligence has dispatched a new regiment of Spies. Try to take better care of these.
[Upon completing bonus objective]
Intelligence: The Radar Boat is vulnerable. Send Natasha to destroy it.
Natasha: All Generators destroyed. Targeting Radar Boat. Target eliminated.
Primary Objective 3: Destroy the Second Radar Ship[]
Tanya: The second Radar Ship is under heavy guard. We need to be careful.
Intelligence: With the Radar Boats destroyed, our MCVs can get close enough to deploy. The Soviet Engineers can hack these power plants to take down the guns. But don't destroy them or the Japanese will investigate.
Tanya: Capture the generator, comrad!
Intelligence: Let the Engineer know when it is safe to enter a power plant. Clear a path for the Soviet Engineers so they can hack the power plants.
[After capturing the first Instant Generator]
Tanya: It's working, the guns are going offline.
[After capturing two Instant Generators]
Tanya: Let's go grab another Generator.
[After capturing four Instant Generators]
Intelligence: The way to the radar boat is clear. Send Tanya in to do what she does best.
Tanya: The second Radar Ship has gone belly up. Send in the MCV's!
Primary Objective 4: Capture Both Fortress Power Cores[]
Eva: There it is! The Floating Fortress! That's the largest military craft I've ever seen! Be careful as you approach it, sir. It's still quite dangerous.
Eva: Allied Intel has analyzed the schematics and found that the Fortress has two seperate cores providing its power. Capture both of the cores and you can use them to help destroy the Fortress.
Zhana: Well, Commander...I've been ordered to offer you support for this assault. These are truly desperate times. Perhaps together we can defeat the Rising Sun.
Intelligence: We'll need to establish a beachhead before we can produce any ground units.
[Upon producing an Engineer]
Intelligence: Use your Engineers to capture the Fortres Reactors. They'll overload the cores, making them unstable. With both Reactors simultaneously destabilized, the Fortress' power system will reach critical mass.
[Upon producing an Airbase]
Intelligence: Allied Command has given access to construct the Century Bomber. With it, we can drop bombs...or infantry.
Zhana: I can setup a forward base on the Floating Island Fortress. I await your order.
[When the player's base is being sieged]
Intelligence: We're taking heavy losses. Allied Command has uploaded emergency plans for the Aircraft Carrier.
[When one of the Fotress Power Cores is captured]
Intelligence: One Reactor has been captured and destablized. Both reactors must be captured.
[When the player fails to capture the second reactor within the given time limit after capturing the first reactor]
Intelligence: The unstable Reactor has corrected itself. You'll need to send in another Engineer.
[Upon completing the objective]
Cherdenko: Excellent work, Commander. I had no doubt that our coalition would prove to be ... successful.
Mission failure[]
When failing Primary Objective 1[]
Intelligence: The salvage boat has been destroyed. Mission aborted.
Being defeated during Primary Objective 4[]
Naomi: Your failure here guarantees that Europe will fall to the Empire. Get ready to beg for forgiveness.
