You don't need 20 people to terminate contained xenos

So I was playing CMO this round. We got our hands on 3 eggs, so I told the researcher to have fun. When the evacuation was called, I told him it was time to terminate the experiments. I asked the MPs to come to research to perform the termination. CMP showed up, and another MP - great! I locked research down, let them grab a shotty and a flamer and execute 3 contained xenos - a drone, a sentinel, and a runner. In the end the runner gave us the most resistance and CMP got burned, oops. So we're getting ready to get the MPs to medbay, when 20 people burst into research - marines, SOs, etc. I start screaming at everyone to get out - we have one patient in crit, and another one half-wounded. Eesh.

To get here, those people had to burst down the research blast door, and three sets of doors. Talk about determination! But yeah, if you're not asked to come, don't send that many people in uninvited. Maybe 2-4 max, unless research has really gone crazy!

Seriously this. It's easier to fight and kill a group of 20 marines than it is to fight and kill a few. Mostly because 75% of the twenty are going to do 80% of your work for you by FFing the ever living shit out of everything but you.

Yeah, people like to swarm into research probably because it's a guarenteed kill. Honestly it's the most meaningless thing you can do to impact the round. Researchers have nothing to do all round, so give them some space to have some fun instead of trying to step on their toes all the time.

Yeah, I was about to tell MPs to start arresting people, but then I remembered CMP was almost dead and needed attention now...
