| “ | The Allies have stormed one of Scorpion Cell's underground bunkers and seized the prototype MCV the terrorists were developing for PsiCorps. Now the stolen MCV must be destroyed before the Allies realize what they have captured and who's the real enemy. | ” |
| —Mission description |
Operation: Landlocked is the sixth mission in the Act One Epsilon campaign.
Briefing
Danger, Proselyte! We understand it has been a hectic few weeks, but an emergency has come up. Rashidi finally reverse engineered the Stalin's Fist enough that we have a true War Factory design, and the finalized MCV he had been working on was in final prototype stage. Unfortunately, while waging his desert battle against increasingly desperate African Allies, a crack team slipped in and stole the MCV. They even managed to unpack it into its Construction Yard. Work-wise alone, this will set us back months if they keep it away from us. Worse though, is the evidence contained within. Its design and notes contain enough information that could link Yuri to Scorpion Cell, along with other operations he has done to deceive the Allies.
Even worse, a Soviet task force nearby is after the Americans, and they are preparing to strike this base. While they are unaware of what the building does, we managed to sneak a look into the commander's orders, they clearly are to capture and study what this enigmatic building does. And if they do, they won't have to look far for the design traces of the Stalin's Fist inside.. and from there, it's only a few short steps to connect the dots to our Leader, Yuri. You must capture, or failing that, destroy the Construction Yard. While work is able to be replicated, the evidence must disappear. Yuri is working with the commander, and when you give the signal, he will give his own signal that he has completed whatever tasks were assigned to PsiCorps.
Objective 1: Recapture or destroy the ConYard prototype.

Aftermath
| “ | Thanks to your well-placed strike, the Allies were not able to discover much about my MCV. Luckily, I still have the blueprints and everything else I need to finish my work without interruption. Yuri seems to regard you highly. I can see why. | ” |
| —Rashidi on the mission's success |
The Proselyte was relieved to see that his swift and focused efforts to ensure that the prototype MCV disappearance managed to prevent the Allies from learning anything about it further, other than its unsalvageable and unrecoverable wreck.
Rashidi contacted the Proselyte to thank him for his help, and the Proselyte asks whether losing the prototype MCV would set his efforts back, but Rashidi assures the Proselyte that he already has the MCV's blueprints, so he can resume working on it when everything is safe. Rashidi also told the Proselyte that he can see why Yuri regards him highly, something that he appreciates so much.
Back in the Kremlin, things have escalated to a worse one that forces Yuri to accelerate the motion of his plans. He later send the Proselyte to Japan to acquire KI technology under the guise of a Chinese attack.
