This unfortunately is not true, on the security side at least, in my experience.
Here's how it usually goes, in
Choose your own Adventure style:
1. "You're under arrest for hooliganism, please lay down!"
Do you run? If you run, go to page 2. If you comply, go to page 5.
2. You run! Through the halls you go. You could go to the Dropship or go hide in the dorms. Where do you go?
If you run to the Dropship, go to page 3. If you run to the dorms to hide in the bathroom, go to page 4.
3. You run to the dropship! The dropship is crowded with marines. You force your way in as far as you can and hide. There's the MP! He moves toward you and flashes you! He begins applying cuffs. But what's this? A Delta medic you never met is dragging you away! The MP flashes the Delta medic and drags you off the DS. Now three other marines are out! One keeps pushing the MP so he can't apply cuffs, another drags you away and the third disarm spams the MP. You quickly run back to the dropship with your new best friend. Who are they, anyhow? You don't know but they saved you from that 5 minute brig sentence. Now the MP is surrounded by 8 marines and the crowd is growing. You chuckle. "Serves him right," you think.
THE END
4.You're easily found in the bathroom! The MP flashes you. As you get dragged to the brig, the MP says "
Why did you run? It was just going to be 5 minutes. Now you've only made things worse for yourself." You grumble while you prepare your adminhelp about how you're getting "25 minutes for pushing a marine." That'll learn that MP...
THE END
5.You comply with the MP's order.
It will just be 5 minutes, you think. But... what's this? Here are three marines from your squad and they have dragged you away! They didn't see what you did and honestly they don't look familiar, but they came to help you! "Run!" they say. The MP is now surrounded by 5 marines you don't recognize, and the crowd is growing. But a 2nd MP spots you in the distance. "Hold up!" he yells.
In for a dime, in for a dollar, you think. You turn and run.
Go to page 2.
That is often how it goes for an MP making an arrest before the first drop. How professional or nice the MP is has no bearing on the situation because other marines who has not interacted with you will see a marine getting cuffed and run to chucklefuck.
This is why staff intervention is needed.
