Odd behavior at planetary base

I had a mission to Restore power at Vistnero - Drexler City but when I got there it was already up and running, so I decided to have a drive round in the SRV. I was approaching the base when I saw a researcher walking away from the base. I thought it was an odd thing for them to do so I followed them. They got to 1.2 km away when they stopped and turned round, they looked at me, screamed and died. I can only assume that they had run out of air, I don't think I was close enough to them to have run them over.

Hope you don't mind but I cross posted your interesting post to:

 
I'm kind of impressed that there are so few bounds on the NPC walkpath that they can just wander off like that. That has been the oft given theory for why sometimes you find one or two missing targets for a massacre mission, maybe this is confirmation.
 
I've scavs, (if they spot me) take off and when they can't see me again, keep walking in the same direction. I assume there's a missed command.
If they spot me again it seems to snap them out of it.
Never seen the ending described though.
