I've seen in your very helpfull guide on biomare quest, that it's mandatory to begin the mission chain with Dr. Hercules Lincoln (omni side)
in fact, I did the Linda Ismos mission chain and got alpha (then beta and gamma) without talking to Dr. Hercules Lincoln.Warning: If you want the final reward (Collar of Amplification) you MUST start the mission with Dr. Hercules Lincoln before you get the Access Card! Failure to do so will result in Linda Osmos not giving you the report you need to continue the mission.
Then, later, I decided to get the collar, and went to talk to him, thinking I would have to disable camera/floater/bloader and plumbo all over again...
But when I handed the Systems Monthly to linda, I was quite surprised that she handed me the report at once, without more work (I had the Gamma card equiped ...)
I did the remaining quests and got the collar
So good news for those who did not want to do the whole quest at once !
