In the mission "Foundation", the terminal in the Geothermal Plant in Emerald Vale where you trigger the extermination protocol has an option to redefine "intruders" as "Spacer's Choice Automechanicals", that looks like it's meant to go with "Foundation".  But clicking "return to root" after doing this makes the triggering option unavailable.

Is this an unfinished quest that was supposed to have an alternate solution of sabotaging the mission to spare Edgewater, or is it left over by mistake from the earlier mission where you visit the plant?  (And given the format of the game it really feels like it should have been the former.)

it was related to old quest in the power plant

seems like foundation have only one way to complete
