The FBI recruits Scully to recruit Mulder (since she's the only one who knows where he is) to assist in investigating the X-Filean disappearence of another FBI agent. In exchange, all charges against Mulder are dropped and he's no longer a fugitive.

* In ''MetalGearSolid'', Solid Snake is essentially kidnapped and blackmailed into starting the events of the game. Then it happens again in the fourth game. It's apparently genetic, as something similar happened to Big Boss to set off ''Portable Ops''.
* ''{{Descent}} II'' opens with Dravis informing the player character, Material Defender, that the contract he signed with PTMC allows them to retain his services for more missions; if he declines, he won't get paid for the work he's already done.
** And as anyone who has seen the intro for Descent III knows, he can't get a break even after Dravis tries to kill him, as his rescuers (who are the ''good guys'') use his desire for revenge to override his desire to just settle down somewhere nice and quiet.

The enlistment papers that you sign to join indicate that there is a period of time where you agree to be called back into duty according to the needs of the service.

His mad science career was such a disaster he ended up becoming a ranger again just to clean up. He re-retires after that.
