Creating dialogue in instanced missions.

I'm working on my first AE arc. I've spent a good amount of time mapping my story out in MS Word before delving into the actual creation. I am five missions into creating it in game and everything has gone smoothly up until now.

My sixth and final mission was written to be completely dialogue based. The character is meant to walk in, have a conversation with one NPC, move forward and have a conversation with another NPC. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to add pop up conversation boxes (like we have with our contacts in the AE building) inside instanced missions.

Is this not an available feature, or am I overlooking it?

We don't have the ability to make dialogue like that, sadly.

Ah, that is a bit of a bummer. Looks like I will have to rewrite part of my story now..

You know, Vent, you can't just SAY that arcs have a 5-mission max? You have to leave him bewildered and confuzzled and possibly make him feel stupid?

I knew I liked you for a reason!

Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)

It was the fifth, not the sixth... That was a typo. Or rather, a think-o. I confused what I meant with what I said. Y'know?

Anyways as an update, I rewrote a bit of my story to a point where the end bit is dispersed over speech bubbles. It took a lot of reworking but it's better than nothing I suppose.

..but it is an option that we desperately need.
