Delayed Hostage Freedom

[Rudra]

I've gotten to the point of when I fight Clockwork, I leave the boss for last so I can skip the Gears. Usually, that means when I drop the boss, I'm done. I hit exit mission or the hostage the boss is holding goes "Okay, let's go!" and we leave. And any Gears that spawn are just left. Except for today on a mission from Marshall Brass. I had to recover three PTS workers from a Clockwork attack. The first one wasn't a problem. Dropped the minion, mangled the boss, dropped the two Cogs the boss summoned, then finished the boss. Hostage says thanks and we're running before the Gears even start spawning.

 

The second and third individuals though? Not so much. Dropped the minion, mangled the boss, dropped the Cogs the boss summoned, and then dropped the boss; we're ready to go! Except, the worker is still standing there cowering. I have to stand there and wait for the Gears to spawn and then take them out before the other two workers will even move. This has not happened to me on any other map with Clockwork.
