TheWoWDBI got credit for the first prisoners I freed and then I stopped getting credit for freeing any of them. Not sure if it's bugged or what.

Description
There's something different about this mantid swarm. Instead of just killing everything in sight like the mantid usually do, they've taken to capturing our defenders and holding them alive. I really don't want to know what they have in store for the captives. Why don't you go rescue them so we don't have to find out?
