Problem with the mish is that the protector dies easily. Died for me. No protector to be seen. The system does realize partly that the mission-critical NPC isn't there anymore, because the "Lead protector to computer" text disappears, but... it apparently doesn't realize that I (hard to not yell this part) cannot complete this "%ยง$&"%/&%"& mission anymore!
Gah. It's times like these where I wonder why I'm a 24-month veteran
