Maria Jenkins and Praetorian heroes

I was just able to get Maria Jenkins as a contact with one of my characters that started out in the Praetorian Resistance (Vee-Vee), and I was looking forward to seeing how her dialog would change based on this history. She claims to have heard about Vee-Vee:

"Well hello there. You must be Vee-Vee. I have been hearing a lot about you. If anyone can help me with the problems I am trying to solve, I am sure it will be you."

If Maria's been "hearing a lot" about Vee-Vee, then surely she knows that Vee-Vee is a Praetorian, and thus does not have to have all the Praetoria stuff explained to her, right?

Sadly, no such luck. Maria is evidently clueless about this. (Never mind that Vee-Vee's costume includes Resistance chest armor!)

What a bummer! By now, I would have thought that the Devs could have tied off all of the Going Rogue/Praetorian tendrils. They demonstrated that they have the tech do do this with Katie Douglas' arc in First Ward - Katie somewhat recognized that she and Vee-Vee were once friends, because Vee-Vee had done the arc that freed her in the past.

It is a shame that this otherwise great game has these patches of unfinished-ness.

The Maria Jenkins arc will have to be updated in I23 to reflect the new post-Statesman world - so they could add some Praetorian text options then.
