When you accept the mission, in my case research mission, the recruitment officer that you get the item to research from never pops up half the time. In the first floor of the HQ there are 2 of the recruitment officers that can give the item, but I am getting about 50/50 chance of forced to drop the mission and restart/select it again as neither one will be activated for the mission to give said item.
Can someone verify if this is just for my one character or is this happening for others as well?
