I completed the mission to free the technicians for Varus just before a new "bad guy" is introduced. I then did the side mission Overzealous Deputy and got disconnected. When I logged back on I was back on the mission for the Varus's technicians - double suck because the boss here dropped a blue SMG the first time, but this time dropped a green grenade...boo. Did the deputy mission again then another nearby side mission and got disconnected.
