To answer an earlier post, they "lutuma" disappear once you complete the 11th run of the daily. I also had the 'effect' for scanning go away immediately. So dan thought ahead on that and you are not hosed with worthless npc's after finishing your last run. Unless you just want to keep killing them and not finishing that 11th time!

Had an oddity the other day. About 4 hours after I'd refreshed/filled my battle tab full, I clicked on my battle tab and the bar on the side appeared to be a little smaller than usual, so I scrolled down and a 9th npc suddenly appeared (a.k.a. A lutuma) I know it wasn't there because when I looked at my battle tab 30 minutes before, to check the base timer, it wasn't there.

For funzies, I used the raix focus ability after doing the 11th iteration since it was a daily and it restarted the klorvis aftermath mission which I did before I did the 11th iteration.

could happen if you disabled an npc that was legion alerted.

and nothing wrong with badge requirements .. judging from the number of halcs i run thru daily .. need something worthwhile to get some folks off of their pedestals

obviously i would be partial to something needing blues ...

He didn't complete the mission. He gathered all the cells he needed early rather than gathering 20 every day, or whatever. So, even though he had all the cells he needed, he kept getting the NPC because he'd get the buff every time he accessed the mission to do a daily completion.
