I'm also not suggesting that runner can "steal" healthy, perfectly concious marine. I think I made it clear with: "I was "snatched" by a runner (during stun/crit) with multiple marines between me and said runner". Longer stun (crabbed, put to sleep by sentinels, rammed by a crusher), or paincrit. Decent runner will snatch you up no problem..
Queen Screech doesn't "fit my bill", because Queen Screech stuns multiple marines, so ammount of them doesn't matter so this situation isn't covered by "Stay near your friends that have M41s or shotties".
Benos do have methods to escape marines, leaving them wondering where they are. Whole fricking map is covered by Egyptian darkness (like none of the planets have moons, or other planets nearby to reflect some light at the surface). Most benos are way faster than marine in medium armor and basically only Boiler doesn't have means to outrun armorless marine. Some benos can turn invisible, most of the marines don't have X-Ray/Thermovision, so even a simple small room is enough to hide from marines.
