Bad guy gets renamed in briefing

There's a mission, early on in CoH, that's given by several contacts, including Paco Sanchez, Genevieve Sanders and Laurence Mansfield. I'm listing the name (as shown in the compass) as "Arrest (Name B) And His Crew" because the target bad guy gets renamed partway through the briefing. It doesn't affect gameplay, but it IS confusing when you first see it. The briefing goes as follows:

"According to my sources, one of the Hellions' high-ranking thugs, (Name A), is holed up in a nearby abandoned office. Can you arrest (Name A) for me? If we can put one of their big shots in jail, it may help us curb the Hellions' violence."
<You click on "Arrest (Name A)" at this point.>
"Maybe (Name B) can tell us where the Hellions are getting their steady supply of artifacts."

And the mission uses Name B from then on. I've seen this for years; lots of my toons have gotten this mission. Some of the Name-A names are White Phosphorus, Baphomet, Fire Fist, Hell Storm, and Batzelbub, and some of the Name-B names are Revenant, Scorch, Char, and Inferno. Thanks for your time.

So your suggestion is to fix this then?

I think that particular mission picks from a random pool of names, but you are right they should fix it so it is consistent.


to TO THE END!
Villains are those who dedicate their lives to causing mayhem. Villians are people from the planet Villia!

There's also Field Marshal Bulech from The Eternal Nemesis, who transforms into Archon Cassidy when you enter his mission.

And, yes, how is this a suggestion? Though I do agree with suggesting to fix this.

Sorry; yes, I meant to suggest that this be corrected.
