Imperial Deserter quest... if you say no the first itme, is it offered again later?

I am playing a ice sheet cannibal colony and only have 2 colonists since it's early on. I took the initial Imperial quests and got my people up to royal rank yeoman and then the next one. I thought it was pretty cool and I liked the new royal quests. Then I got the communication about the Imperial deserter who would tell me the location to raid and steal all the psy gear I could want but I would have to become an enemy of the empire. I told him to F off. Things are fine as they are. My frozen mountain fortress of cannibalistic royals are fine.. But then I did a couple more imperial quests and now all of a sudden my colonists are so haughty they won't mine or clean anymore. I have three colonists and they won't mine or clean... and they live in the mountains on the ice sheet..... suddenly, being a imperial rebel and raiding bases for the psygear i want seems like a great idea compared to having snotty haughty titles

idk if mine is bugged but i've never gotten a second one so i am guessing not or its very rare. they should add more rebel quests for sure

It looks liike both the Deserter quest and the Wimp (about the royalty running away from some duck/rabbit) are one time intro quests. In the dev mode their name have Intro_ suffix.

Since I was in no place to fight of the squad chasing the Deserter in when it appeared for me, I missed it on my strictly-anti-empire playthrough, but I decided to manually get it using the dev console!

Just go to / -> Generate Quests -> Intro_Deserter
