Broken (not in that sense) arc

That was interesting. I just outleveled a Praetorian contact in the middle of a story arc, and the arc broke - as in, the contact (after saying, basically, "OMG what you just learned in that mission you dinged 16 during! We totes have to follow that up or DOOOOM!") dropped me and wouldn't give me the next mission. Just does the "nope, nothing for you" outleveled/out-of-missions dialogue now. I still have the clue text, plainly indicating that I'm right in the middle of the thing, but I now have no way to complete it. That can't possibly be right, can it? I mean, I could've sworn the guy I outleveled when I hit 11 let me finish his now-slightly-stale arc...

Hard luck for anyone trying to get these things done this weekend, that's for sure.

(It's what's-her-name, Praetor Evil Manticore's airhead secretary in Imperial City.)

Does she offer a morality mission? Those aren't part of the arcs they follow IIRC.

"You don't lose levels. You don't have equipment to wear out, repair, or lose, or that anyone can steal from you. About the only thing lighter than debt they could do is have an NPC walk by, point and laugh before you can go to the hospital or base." -Memphis_Bill
We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Dunno, I never got that far. I was only two or three missions into the arc.

Soon:
After a bit of research, it appears not. She was supposed to upstream me to Evil Manticore himself after one more mission. Instead her story arc remains incomplete and the "arc in progress" summary text, along with the Mission 3 clue, remain in my Clue bin, apparently forever. I can see not passing me to the next contact if I've already outleveled him (although the more elegant way of handling that would be for her to make the handoff, and for him to then give me the "I've got nothing you'd be interested in" speech), but not letting me finish an arc in progress seems... wrong.
