Cannot finish "Are you La Puta Madre's peone?" quest

[Burdpal]

On my most recent game, I was unable to call in the station to confirm if Harry was a peone of a drug distribution criminal ring. When I tried using the radio to call in the station, Harry referenced being wounded by the Tribunal, but the message gets understandably blocked and Kim explains why. When trying to call again, in the past version of the game I was able to redact the detail of being wounded so that I could contact my station - that option is no longer available with the most recent version of the game.

I love that I can't even guess what happened in your game to get to this situation. I don't recognize any of these circumstances. Which is awesome. Hope you figure it out.

To get the quest, read Ruby's journal and exhaust all dialogue trees. Then ask Kim the question. The quest will appear.

Sounds like you skipped a ton of stuff.

Odd that might be a bug. I literally JUST did this. I told them about the shootout, got disconnected, picked up the radio phone again and connected to my precinct and asked them.

Thanks for your post. I think you're right, it does seem like a bug but perhaps one that I could've avoided. On my most recent playthrough, I deliberately attempted to make no contact with my station until I got my badge and gun - I wanted to see how Precinct 41 would react when I proved that I was a good cop instead of the colossal screwup Harry was historically known for being. However, even before Ruby's confrontation, I noticed that the option to call my station was never available after getting my badge and gun. I didn't think it would persist after the Tribunal. Rip.

If I had to make a guess, I'd say that if a player, such as myself, didn't make contact with the station prior to getting the badge and gun, the option to call the station would be rendered unavailable for the rest of the game. As a consequence, the quest "Are you La Puta Madre's peone?" would be rendered unfinishable.

Did Kim know you were missing your badge? I'm not 100% but I thought that's what unlocks the option to call your precinct is when you tell Kim you lost your gun or badge.

[Burdpal]

Yeah I informed Kim that I misplaced my badge upon my first meeting him, and that I misplaced my gun when I shot the belt from the hanged man's neck using Kim's pistol. The option to call the station was there early game, but I didn't want to call until I had both items in question - just to see if there was unique dialogue with Precinct 41. Regretably, the option to call the station was null after getting both items.

I guess next time I play, I'll call the station early anyways even if I didn't have either the badge or gun. Perhaps then that would "lock in" the option in the future, since your testimony of finishing the quest likely happened under those same parameters (please correct me if I am wrong).
