Destiny & RP on Goonstation

[Frank_Stein]

Aye, it was real neat to see people playing along. Traitor busts in with the bomb screaming for everyone to drop their weapons, HoS and the Detective are both standing in there, surely armed... but neither goes for the shot. They both complied, dropped their guns and laid down on the floor. So instead of the traitor just getting zapped immediately, an interesting story unfolded and everyone had fun.

Sounds neat. I think that highlights one of the things that traditionally stops things like that from happening on the other servers, being that death is pretty cheap and no one really minds when others or themselves die. Realistically, your average spaceman isn't going to go John McClane and try to slap bombs and guns out of a terrorists hands. They're going to do what keeps them alive. Even securities chief concern should be minimizing loss of life during a hostile situation, and it sounds like everyone performed beautifully.
