MC choose the hard way ... might be the way he is wired, who knows.
In all honesty, a situation where you find dead people and then suddenly some girl puts a knife to you,
it did rattle MC and her freezing just like himself, she did not trigger his fight reflexes,
making this a right power play - MC backs away peacefully, as he is cuffed, so he acts as any
decent ”just woke up in a war zone with a knife in my face” human being would do - walk away.
Jason bourne never had a say in whether the cops show up or not, never questioned
whether it was right or wrong he could read anyone within a bar radious and make up
all kinds of preconceptions about each and every one of them in his mind, just like some knowitall A.I.
Also, how realistic is it to be able to kick/punch/force open the trunk of a car from the inside? I'm doubtful of that as well
Well, how realistic is it you get outta some trunk and see all the dead people lying around?
It is obviously a setup, the kind CiA/Jason Bourne ops/Ethan Hunt ops would do to them:
kill the supposedly kidnapping party and then either remotely open or small explosives discharge knock free,
or even simply open the trunk door and let it just ajar as you clean up shop and walk away,
confident that by the time MC comes through, you are long gone and the stage is set while the ruse is working.
After going through the conversation with the Dr, there's no reason to believe that there would be an easy way to get to a better situation.
MC and Jason are both flabbergasted about having the ability to do all the things they do,
from operating strange machinery to fighting their way outta effectively every situation.
Still, both Jason and MC end up frozen, Jason in the dead of winter on a bench in the park,
MC suddenly and inexplicably fainting rigth after a very intense fight or flight situation.
The way conditioned warrriors are depicted is very much Hollywood blockbuster style:
MC is the bigger danger, is the peak predator, he just does not know it or show it yet.
To the bennefit of this game, MC is already a major red flag: unsanctioned time bomb.
Funny bit being the fact that the scoundrels (obvious Witcher plug with the leader there)
are the ones that reject one obvious god sent man of the rich and powerful,
certainly powerful enough to stage a whole string of murders going on
all the while MC was unconscious, probably shaking off the adverse effects of too much sedatives
as the doctor never said anything of a major head trauma to account for any of what we see.
MC is story based as a wild card that ends up in the employ of exactly the kind of people who
would send a highly trained special forces conditioned and hardened individual: rich and powerful.
Like Bourne ends up in all his movies, MC is a very expensive and effective precision weappon,
designed by rich calculated powerful people, who end up ensuring the power dynamic remains simple
and does not change: the minister is the law and MC is there to boost his reign supreme in the wild lands of Con(vict) City.
The henchman and the minister himself sure do know more about why they got this powerhouse of MC,
while they bask in the authority they have now that the scoudrels have outright rejected MC and it is them,
the unquestioned authority in the whole place, who would weild such a precision deadly weappon.
