'Preemptive Strike' mission : buggy??

Ok first, ( Warning: Anyone not yet Lt. Cmdr or Cmdr level don't spoil it for yourself to read this now or it won't be fun for you. )


Now, I took this assignment called 'Preemptive Strike', and the objectives are defeat a few squadron of Romulan ships, and take out some turrets after. Got that done. Then went down on the planet to rescue the starfleet prisoners. I disabled the Transporter Inhibitor first, then rescue all but 1 prisoner, and I think that's Lieutenant Tess herself, but here's the problem: She has no dialogue to click on. All I got was seeing her grey texts in blackbround dialogue box. She doesn't even have that exclamation sign above her head like those golden circle sign that means you can talk to her. All I got from her in the grey text are: "Captain, over here!" and then "I can brief you on how to complete our mission!" And it keeps repeating that.
So now am stuck with one Starfleet prisoner missing ( I seriously think it's Lieutenant Tess herself is the last prisoner ). All 6 other prisoners are rescued and beamed up, but I can't seem to complete this because there's some weird bug in this particular mission: 'Preemptive Strike'.
Does anyone else who's gone through this know this bug? Please help give me some advice since I don't want to spend that length of time to do this mission all over again ( not sure thing it would not have same issues again )

Thanks for any help on this, guys and gals.
:(

    Myself and a Fleet mate have also encountered this bug and reported the bug but considering there are some players who have completed the Mission without any trouble what so ever, it makes me second guess myself, I keep thinking, have I missed something?

    Did you attempt this mission in a team as I have, could the bug be a result of teaming up?

    Tess is in fact the last prisioner. Talking to her should give you the next part of the mission. I finished it myself last night without issue. Good luck with that one...I'm personally waiting on Starbase 39 docking bug fix :(

    Thanks for the helpful replies. It really gave me some indications to the possibilities. I didn't do it in a team. I went down there with my own crew, but Lieutenant Tess AI program on that particular mission 'Preemptive Strike' had a buggy issue. Am going to do it again with a new Commander class Heavy Cruiser to see if it clear that bad bug for me. I knew something was wrong in that 1 mission when you get to the clearing of the space turrets and your torpedo salvo is like non stop and nothing hits the 3rd and middle turrets. Another words, it was a sign of a buggy mission. Am going to do it again totally new from the start of that mission, and I'm going to clear the way to Lieutenant Tess first thing. Hope it doesn't repeat that bug. Thanks again, y'all.;)

    When I did this I rescued Lt Tess before freeing all the other prisoners. This might be a secret to getting the mission to work for you.

    As to the torpedo thing and the turrets, that is just lag. it happens all the time when the server is over loaded and doesnt mean a thing as far as buggy missions.

    Did you get the 3 prisoners behind the building to the left? They are easy to miss if you aren't watching the map.

    I went through it with no problems but i think some missions bugged in certain instances . So might trying to change instance and see if that works . This my mmo but as soon as learned what an instance was I started doing that when i had problem with a mission . Sometimes it worked and sometime it didn't

    Yes, I changed a few minor things to see if I can get out of that buggy issue. I change 1 crew member to maybe change that mission variables to maybe help it not to repeat that bugs. I don't like that sort of things messing with our heads when we play online games. But, anyway, yes I got that mission done without starting over from the top. That last fleet battle was so kinda fun to be a part of. hehheh...

    Now if only our STO gaming host would just fix Space dock 39 soon. I need to get a few things done from that star base that seems to be not accepting docking by any ships. Am going to check any threads on that issue. Sigh. I don't mind them fixing things, but don't like new issues replacing those that are fixed...

    It's buggy for me too. In fact she is just standing there waving, and there's another one behind the building to the left saying "get us out of here". But they don't want to be rescued. I even went all the way up killing all the other romulans.
