Deposition of GDI Watch Commander, detailing the Alien invasion of Cologne

To be honest, even after the [expletive] hit Munich, we didn't think Cologne would draw much in the way of attention. We've been running simulations since 2038 or so and Cologne has never rated anything more than 'minor strategic value.' We figured that this would count for the aliens too...guess we were wrong.

 By the time we detected the first wave, it was too late to form anything more than a basic defense. Fortunately, we'd been evacuating civilians for the better part of the day, but we were way behind on erecting defensive structures, let alone planning any kind of strategy. Things fell apart fast, those infernal air...uh...spacecraft came streaking in, wiping out half of our troops before they could even fire a shot. The rest of us scattered, taking shelter in whatever structures we figured were solid enough to withstand fire, at least temporarily. Then the power went out, and with it our communications, our radar and any damn chance of us taking the city back.

 At one point the insane hell of combat calmed down and it was almost quiet on the battlefield - the odd burst of laser fire, a scream, some radio static. Then, all at once, the sky lit up bright green and the silence became a deafening explosive howl. My heart sank...the [expletive] had taken out the Tib silos, all of them...the entire reclamation project, years of work, undone in a few seconds...a giant [expletive] Tib field spawned right at the heart of central Germany.

 Then their ground units came...giant walkers and little disintegrator things taking out our tanks, clouds of razor sharp buzzing things reducing our infantry to unidentifiable piles of wet flesh on the sidewalk.

 I called a retreat, grabbed my gun and ran...

GDI值班指挥官的证词，详述外星人入侵Cologne（科隆）的情况

老实说，就算在（脏话）袭击慕尼黑后，我们也不认为科隆会吸引太多关注。我们从2038年就开始进行模拟，对于任何项目科隆的评价都不会超过“次要战略价值”。我们认为这对外星人也是一样的……看来我们错了。（译注：我没记错的话丝巾的战略是乱打一通给阈限之塔转移注意力，只能说科隆运气不好咯2333）

当我们探测到第一波袭击时，除了形成基本的防御什么都为时已晚。幸运的是，我们一天大部分时间都在疏散平民，但是在建立防御设施方面我们远远落后，更别说制定什么对策了。形式很快就崩溃了，那些地狱般的飞……呃……太空船猛冲过来，我们的一半部队还没来得及开枪便被屠杀殆尽。我们剩下的人四散而逃，寻找任何我们认为足够坚固能抵御炮火的建筑躲藏，哪怕只能暂时躲藏。然后停电了，我们的通讯系统，雷达和任何夺回城市的机会都随着该死的停电消失了。

 疯狂的地狱般的战斗在某一时刻平静下来，战场上几乎一片寂静——只剩那些奇怪的激光造成的爆炸，一声尖叫，和一些无线电杂音。然后，突然，天空变成明亮的绿色，寂静变成了震耳欲聋的爆炸声。我心中一沉——那些（脏话）炸了泰矿仓，所有的一切……整个泰矿修复工程，数年来的工作，在几秒间化为乌有……一个巨大的（脏话）泰伯利亚地带诞生在了德国的中心地带。

 然后它们的地面单位来了……巨大的步行机甲（walkers）和小的粉碎行者（disintegrator）一样的东西干掉了我们的坦克，一群嗡嗡作响的锋利的云状物把我们的步兵变成了人行道上无法辨认的一坨湿乎乎的肉。

 我要求撤退，抓起枪就跑……
