That makes sense then. They have rescue insurance and their private service is already on the way to recover them. You are interfering in a sanctioned operation. What will they do when they turn up to find their clients have been shanghaied by some rando with impulse control issues? And what about the poor clients expecting to wake up in a first class recovery centre with champagne and rabbit slippers waking up in the hold of some potential murderhobo?
By rescuing them at my expense, I'm helping them to keep their no-claims bonus.
As a spacer who aspires to standards of professionalism, I would never dream of taking their pods out of stasis mode while on my ship. They're staying unopened, safe and plugged in for the entire journey back to civilisation. Besides, the last thing my crew and I would want are some confused rescuees getting under our feet on the trip home, complaining about the rations and the smell of onionhead.
