Just make sure to get rid of all his SAM-sites and there will be a chinook

Late in the game, I had one civilian running around in a tiberium patch 
and ending the game when he got burned up...it turns out they don't run 
entirely random.  If you put some infantry between in him and the field, 
he'll tend to run in the opposite direction.  I kept thinking to myself, 
"this dude is an idiot!...it's a pretty lame thing, to expect a person, 
_in the same village_ with Dr. Moebius, wouldn't know better than to 
avoid tiberium.
