Fix crash with the newly released Better Logs mod

Update: Jun 15, 2024 @ 8:40pm

Fixed an issue with Story Disabler that caused the script responsible for unlocking techs after each story mission to die. This is Chucklefish's fault because player.getProperty doesn't return the "Oh, that property doesn't exist?" value if the property does exist but is nil (which is stupid)
