The Pickup - Militech ending - Timed?

+
Hi, I noticed something strange. I'm playing as Corpo, accepted the deal from the Militech lady and went the kill everyone route with Mealstrom.

Here's the thing: when dealing with Royce I used the Body dialogue check and when I left the place That Gilbert guy that Stout was holding was there instead of her, smug and happy, saying that Stout's "time ran out". I reloaded a save before Royce and this time I shot him in the face in-dialogue and this time Stout was waiting for me outside instead of Gilbert.

Is this mission timed? Are others? Or does the method of killing Royce matter somehow and changes the outcome? And why? Just a bug?

Also, if anyone is interested you can get the 10k Eddies from the shard Stout gives you only if you don't use it or decrypt it during the mission. Decrypt it only after the post-mission phone call with Dex.
