Approximate time and date of the incident (Central US Time for fastest results) 6:23 EST
What rule(s) were broken: meta evacuating
Description of the incident: When it was announced that an unscheduled dropship had launched and a hijack was likely I ran from my post (CT and last person remaining in Requisitions) to the Normandy as a pilot mentioned they would be launching to return to the planet. When i arrived there were eight people in the Dropship (as shown in first screenshot, sans the PO in the cockpit) one of whom was Kenneth, the XO, along with an MP escort.
I remained at my post in Requisitions until the exact moment it was announced that an unscheduled dropship had launched. Yet somehow the XO, who was supposedly in the CIC managed to reach the Normandy and be buckled in before I reached it, then had them launch before the Alamo even crashed into the Almayer.
The first screenshot was taken the moment I reached the Normandy, the rest were taken after the round ended to show a timeline of events through the chat menu, from the PMC's/event of the round ending, to the dropship hijack announcement, the scan of how many Xenos were coming up.
I know there is a ladder from CIC to the hanger, but there is no way the XO could have reached the Normandy and have already been buckled in before I reached the ship had they been at their post. If they had arrived just a little sooner than myself I still would have gotten the 'Marine X buckles in' message, but did not. They were already there, and had been there as the second link shows where upon arriving at the Normandy they had the doors locked.
Evidence (screenshots, logs, etc):
What resolution are you seeking? Kenneth left the CIC before the hijack message was displayed by ARES, there is no other way they could have arrived at the Normandy with an MP who was wearing armor, had the lockdown innated, then canceled before I reached the Normandy from Requisitions otherwise.
That's not only metagaming, it is abandoning their post and their command. On top of that was them having the Normandy leave before the Alamo even crashed.
Them abandoning their post, their command, and the crew alone makes them unfit for the position, but to meta evac on top of all that goes beyond cowardice, it is deliberate to insure other players don't 'survive' a round when they could have waited for more to escape.
I request that Kenneth receive a job ban from the position of XO.
