Vicious exotic can cancel his own exo's at will?

Probably a bug. Happened to me several times now. Timer starts counting down for an exo. Then after 20-30 seconds it disappears and a few minutes later it starts counting down again from scratch. Is this the Ai's way of trying to time his exo's with other waves for higher success chances? That'd be pretty obnoxious but I guess it's just a bug.
Only seen this happen with the exo's from vicious exotic, the other exo's seem to be working just fine.

Not sure, but my guess is that that AI's wave-strength threshold changed for some reason (probably AIP related), thus changing the time at which the saved wave strength would match the target.

This doesn't happen with normal-wave AIs because when they announce a wave it's actually created and stored, where the exo "wave" timer is just a prediction of what will happen.

hmm I guess that makes sense, sort of. I don't exactly remember the other times but the first time I encountered this problem it happened right when I destroyed a command station. First I thought it was because I destroyed the warp gate where, in the Ai's mind, the exo was supposedly going to spawn. And when I destroyed that world it had to look for a different place to launch the exo from. Dunno if that makes sense though.
