She was kind of trying to be stealthy. Even if she knew that her wings could make her fly (and she had any inclination of how to use that game system, which she doesn't), don't you think that she's a lot more likely to be noticed if she's the only object flying around in the area? (Particularly given that she doesn't know how to control it, so she wouldn't exactly be
good at it.)
We know that system admins can teleport people because the scientists told us so. So flying away was never a sensible option in the first place.
I think this isn't "awful Hollywood Drama", it's sensible decision-making.

I guess there are other things they could have done with the scientists rather than being also corrupt and following orders. For example, they could have had one of them be conflicted about it. Perhaps there's another opportunity for something to come of it, but I'm supposing probably not in the interest of time.
In general, I agree that the villains in this arc are more plot devices than real characters. But there are still interesting concepts being raised despite the "cartoony" villains.
