How do you continue the black market quest lines.

I did try to find this on the forums before asking, so apologies for the likely duplicate.

In all my runs, my first doom is always the deaths in the black market. I tend to get pretty far down all of the quest lines before the first doom occurs but I haven't found a single follow-on contemplation for any of the three black market characters, the middle management that tries to offload a nuke onto you or the middle manager who asks for a Predator. Are there any strange unlock conditions for continuing with them or do their next appearances just happen really late into as timeline - like after you've completed both the AGI and commercial VR business chains?

In general, at the moment there is only one black market questline to continue, and it's short and contextual. That one requires that they survive the doom, and also that several other dooms have happened, and it only matters if you're trying to start WW4.

You can't solve any dooms from within the timeline where you'd be solving the dooms, typically. An adjacent timeline on the same rock will solve it based off of something you unlocked there. There are spoilers for some of that stuff in the wiki.

In terms of just other further quests with the black market, that is something I plan with one of them in particular, but it hasn't happened yet. I considered it for the next content update, but there was something else more interesting that happened first.

Thanks. Really helpful to know there is only 1 follow on quest at the moment - and that you have to wait out multiple dooms for it to happen.

You have to not just wait out some dooms, but specifically you also need two crossovers as well. If you look at the WW4 description as a goal, it gives hints about these aspects.
