Upon "completing" the quest, the quest persists in my journal and the tracker does also.

The tracker is focused on Vaugn Cortes and everytime I speak with him, he responds with "Any news? On the thing we spoke about. You know. That thing?". I then click "[1] I found your experiment", but then the conversation immediately exits and nothing happens.

Hi,

I just had the same issue, choosing the intimidate option caused the issue.
I tried without selecting the intimidate option and it worked fine.

Well that's a bummer because I lost some xp and a bit of fun but I dodged the bug...
 

This happened to me too. I definitely used the Intimidate dialog option as well because I thought it would let me keep some of the "Musk" so that I could sell it to the chick on the Groundbreaker. Please fix this, I don't wanna go back Like Dreadk did :(
