Since objective A is so fundamental to all difficulties of frigate, it is worth having a thorough understanding of the hostages' logic.

Each hostage is released when their hostage taker finishes [[fading out]]: As such the taker's [[death animation]] is very relevant. You must also injure the taker in time to prevent them from executing their hostage - see [[#Hostage takers|below]] for more detail. When they are released are you will always see a <code>"Hostage released!"</code> appear on screen.

At this point, the hostage '''randomly selects an escape point'''. There are 6 possible spots on the deck of the ship: 5 have a 15.6% chance of being selected, and the last has a 21.9% chance. Frigate has very poor [[pathing]], and so the (fixed) routes are far from optimal. In particular the '00a hostage' always goes right around the engine room, rather than up the stairs and through the roller door, or around the back. Moreover, all 3 lower hostages go through the 'boxes room' rather than shortcutting through the doorway.
