Institute of tchort quest help (spoilers)

[chimaera]

Does anyone know how to convince the old rejected from the basement lab to leave? At this point all of the tchortist, including scientists and civilians, are dead and the cages are open. But when talking to the old rejected, my character can only promise to look for a solution. Even after succeeding with the persuade checvk they still refuse to leave.

Do you need to ask someone else to help them?

You need to open the ventilation shaft that leads to the West Wing, which is located just down the hallway from the cages.

EDIT: Turns out, until the "locked out of tchort's institute" problem gets fixed, it is not possible to save the rejected if you fail the interview. That because you need to both open the ventilator shaft and jump down the hole in West Wing, in order to be able to tell the rejected about it.
