This is the sixth mission of the Silent Threat: Reborn fan campaign for the Freespace Port. With Antares secured and the Shivans scattered and disorganized, GTI is moving a convoy of science vessels carrying vital - and classified - weapons prototypes and research from Antares to Beta Aquilae. Because of the importance of the cargo, our whole squadron is assigned to escort, however, trouble is not expected.

This mission is VERY dialogue-heavy and relies heavily on suspense. If you care about that, ignore the timestamps and watch the mission through.

I got the Talus accelerator mixed up with the Vasudan research station in Deneb when I was recording. Disregard that question.

As you can see from my concurrent playthrough of the original Silent Threat, the Freespace Port team wasn't given a whole lot to work with for this remake. I am doing the original campaign and this remake side by side since they depict the same events (in different ways).
