In the second phase, have to escort an NPC. You need him to access a computer in the third phase, and before you lead him to this computer, it's completely non-interactive.

However, there's no "... must survive" order in the objective window, and if the NPC dies on the way to the third phase, the mission continues -- Mandarin even lauds you for that:

"Ha! Adding injury to insult. I admire your cruelty, [handle]", a line he also says if you kill the NPC in the third phase.


Assumed, this is the way it's supposed to be, then there should be an alternative way to access the computer -- the only one I could imagine would be receiving an access card from one of the simulacras behind the locked door in the third phase (a way for spies, which makes sense). In this case, the bug would be the absence of such a drop.

And Mandarin's line would then apply to both cases.


Or, much more suggesting: If the NPC dies between phase 2 and 3, the mission is supposed to fail -- in this case, there might be an appropriate message from the operator or maybe Mandarin that's been left out eventually and has to be put back in.


Does anyone know more about it?

How odd.  And I *just* did this mission last time I jacked in.  I was gonna complete the set, but the second mission I got bugged halfway through and couldn't continue and then left. 


But, I have no reference for you because my guy didn't get killed until he got to the computer.  Then I killed him.  Hehe. 


But, yeah, I would say to /bug it.
