I've been going to a contact in Talos Island and he's been giving me some decent stuff to do but lately he's been offering me missions to take out some Tsoo and when I accept he then tells me "I had an internal error issuing you this task. please try again later." I have never heard of a machine contact so I believe that the clockworks are trying to make a move against the Tsoo by getting me into it. Be aware that the clockworks, if that is indeed what he is, have managed to make very lifelike looking robots.
