SILENT THREAT: REBORN MISSION 6
Fighter squadron: 91st Phantoms
Description: A routine escort mission turns deadly when the GTI loses control of its volatile cargo.
Background
Notes
- This mission is ostensibly a remake of On the Run from the original Silent Threat campaign, but the only common elements are the Eumenides Project and the GTSC Ratna being towed from one place to another. Galemp's original instructions for this mission say, "The original mission is so screwed up and confusing, it would be best to redo it from scratch. Refer to the original mission, keep the basic elements, but don't worry about getting everything perfect."
- The name of the mission is derived from an Indian (or Chinese) proverb, "He who rides the tiger must beware lest he end up inside." (The proverb has several variants and its culture of origin is not clear.)

When the Shivan lands on you, immediately hit your afterburners.
