Where is the Security Officer on my ship interior?

I'm trying to continue the "Ghosts of the Jem'Hadar" assignment chain, and I'm up to the ninth part, "Infiltrate Deep Space Ketracel-White Production Facility". Given the "Espionage" icon next to it, I'd thought it would appear under that section of the Current Map list of assignments, or under my Tactical or Security Department Heads' lists (I'd even thought it might show up in the exploration assignment lists for the Rolor and Betreka Nebulae or the Zenas Expanse, since it says "Deep Space"). It hasn't yet, and according to this page, the mission can be gained from "Security Officer on the bridge of your ship".

I can't seem to find this NPC anywhere.

    just make for a base. there isn't one on your ship.
    Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
    What's my position?
    That people should know what they're screaming about!

    I haven't seen anything but "Turn in blah-blah" assignments on base Security Officers. I don't think they give the assignment I'm looking for.

    This assignment would be found under Current Map and/or under your Security Officer's tab in the DOFF UI, not by going on your bridge or anywhere else, as the assignment should pop in the Zenas Expanse, Rolor Nebula, and/or Betreka Nebula. With the change to Star Clusters, though, it should now fall under DOFF assignments for those Clusters.

    Just because it's the next assignment to be completed in the chain doesn't mean that it'll be available every time you go to those locations and check your available assignments. Its availability cycles. You'll basically have to be in the right place at the right time. Just be patient and keep checking back.

    Although, with the elimination of Star Cluster maps, it's possible the assignment could've fallen off the radar and need to be put back in rotation. I'm not saying that's happened here, but I've heard some players report that other assignments are unavailable since the change with Star Clusters.

    I know how chain assignments work. I'm saying it's been many weeks and the next one hasn't appeared. And the cluster assignments seem to be limited only to Colonial assignments, so it's possible PWE broke the chain.

    In the past, before the cluster removal, the 9th step assignment was located in the zenas expanse, betreka nebula, rolor nebula, alpha trianguli sector but since the exploration cluster removals, now, i dont have a clue, since only colonial assignments appear in the cluster hubs.

    And no there is no security officer in your ship, the wiki is outdated and sometimes wrong, this is one of the cases. My guess is that you need to keep looking in the cluster hubs, althoug i dunno if it will appear eventually (its probably that cryptic destroyed the 9th step in the process...).

    About the availability, its ultra rare. You can keep looking for it for months and never get it. Happened to me. Or you can just keep looking for 2 days and found it. In 4 of my toons, in fact im still trying to complete i think the 6th step, since months ago..

    I cant be sure, but even though there isnt an actual security officer on your ship, have you tried to see if its one of the officers you can contact from your ready room? That might be what the wiki meant.

    The wording on the Wiki is just bad. It's meant to mean the Security Officer Department Head.

    I've seen chain assignments show up in "Current Map" and "Personal" before. It's an Espionage assignment, so I figured the Tac and Sec Dept. Heads would be the ones to have it when it's available. It seems like all of the ones in that chain are super rare, since it took months to get the eighth in that chain. I'll just keep watching and hopefully PWE remembered to shunt it to one of the other lists' rotations.

    You know, if the wording is 'bad' on some of the wiki articles you could try something like change it.

    Despite that both 1/10 and 9/10 of that chain were exclusively found in the cardassian clusters, so yes there is no way you currently can finish them.

    The assignments appear at random (even ones that are part of a chain). You have to be in the right place at the right time.
