During faction quest "Canid's Cradle", choosing to give the Module to Sanjar results in a war between MSI (assisted by the player) and the Iconoclasts. At the same time, side quest "Little Memento" does not fail, although it should, as Ash (and any other unique Iconoclast NPC) will no longer be found at the location after the battle is over.
Currently, upon finding the mercenaries, investigating the outpost, and returning to Ash's location for "Little Memento", the green waypoint appears over Ash's expected location, however Ash is not in the expected location. This means the quest cannot be completed nor failed at this time.
