Operation Progeny Wont Start

[Mycroft]

i need some help here guys, i've been super excited about the new council missions (operation progeny) where you get the super badass psychic chick but it just wont start in my game and i dont know what to do, no matter what it refuses to actually show up in the game at any point.

i remember reading in a few places it could happen very early on and by the time you finished slingshot you'd already be on your second progeny mission but i've already got every research in the game save for the ethereal autopsy and interrogation and its still not happening, i can wail on the exalt base and it would take all of five minutes to just go raid the temple ship and end the game right now, are there some arbitrary requirements im not aware of or can you no longer do the mission if you do something? (for example, does rushing to get certain technologies block out the mission?)

is there some way to force it to give me a specific council mission immediately? i just cant feel like the price tag for this DLC is justified when one of the better chunks of content is flat out refusing to show up in my game

Portent is the first part of Operation Progeny. Base Assault is the second part, then you get Deluge and Furies. I think you need to assault the alien base and/or have access to Psionic Labs in order for Base Assault to trigger.

i cant get portent to trigger is the thing

...did you turn it off in the pregame options?

same thing happened for me, just finished my EW runthrough.

I started on Classic Ironman, failed the first Progeny mission near the start (HARD!!!), restarted on Normal Ironman (EASY!), did not fail the mission, and still the other two never surfaced... and that's with a run all the way to completion of both foundry and labs. So yeah.

i did not turn it off in the options, the first mission is simply not triggering at all
