Vanessa's story was continued into the Underground incarnate trial, as it takes place beneath First Ward.
Ok, great. Thanks.
Well, I guess it's back to Primal earth for me, then.

Yup, sort of First Ward's problem. The end is just kind of abrupt and not very satisfying.
Yeah, I remember feeling the same way, both times I ran First Ward--seemed like there should have been more, even though the whole storyline was actually quite extensive. There was something a little too abrupt about the end, despite the fact that we did get a climatic battle.
Uh, that was the end? What about Master Midnight? Doesn't he give missions or something?

For me it ended even more abruptly because I hit level 30 while I was there. Suddenly no one would talk to me. Maybe I'll pop into Ouroborous and see if I can finish the zone from there.

After the fight with Serene? You really need to pay more attention to what happens during that fight then, he's really in no condition to do anything afterward.

He does, but his arc comes a bit earlier in the storyline.

The writing in the First Ward arcs was outstanding, successfully giving me the creeps more than once during the whole story. I felt the ending was both abrupt and incomplete, and I believe that the MoM trial is supposed to continue the story of at least one person involved in the First Ward arcs and give us more information on what happens to her.
However, I find the reward of two merits for each arc to be both odd and a bit light. I'd put the arcs as feeling more like four to seven merits for rewards, and I suppose the case could be made for more on some of them. Is the two merit reward for each arc a holdover, like a placeholder for a final merit reward that was never corrected?
Reward merits are awarded based on general time of completion for that arc (or that is the ideal at least). For more details on the formula used for reward merits go here: http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Merit_Rewards
As a note regarding the formula, I expect the TimesRunModifier to currently be 0.6, as it is still fairly new, and I haven't heard of an adjustment to the arcs. 2 merits per arc corresponds to a completion time of roughly 20 minutes per arc, which I don't think is too out of line with First Ward stuff. That said, once the devs have enough datamining done, they might change the merit value on a per-arc basis.
To make this more relevant to the OP, and I didn't see it explicity stated, Vanessa DeVore is the final contact for First Ward content. If you've finished with her you are done. Also Master Midnight is the contact in the chain directly before Vanessa.

The underground trial follows up what happens with the Praetorian Vanessa DeVore, the MoM trial gives you updates on Praetor Tilman, Aurora Borealis, Calvin Scott, and Penelope Yin.
