Issue #28402: DN123 (Skylanes Assault) stuck on stage 100

 
I encountered Ness somewhere in the Cambridge area and she said to meet her near the Skylanes Flight 1981 wreckage. When I get there, three super mutants (presumably part of a random encounter) are nearby and attack. After killing them, Ness can't be interacted with. Another thing that seems off is that the Gunners are not there with her (apparently they're supposed to be if I'm reading the data in the CK correctly).

A save file is included before arriving at the crash site to reproduce this problem.

Edit: Someone else reported the same (or similar) problem [Issue #29842], but in their case Ness and the Gunners didn't show up.

The papyrus log error reported in #28401 explains why this happened.

For this to understand, one needs to know that the "Ness Story" consists of three more or less separate quests:
(1) the random encounter that spawns Ness
(2) DN123
(3) REAssaultSC01_DN123SkylanesAssault

The random encounter that spawns Ness [NB: she does not actually spawn but gets teleported to the encounter site from a holding cell] repeats until the player physically meets her and talks to her. After accepting her proposal, DN123 takes over (this is essentially a controller quest). The very first thing DN123 is supposed to do is to make sure that the random encounter trigger at the Skylane's site will start REAssaultSC01_DN123SkylanesAssault (instead of a randomly chosen attack) when the area loads up for the next time.

In your game however, something went wrong and REAssaultSC01_DN123SkylanesAssault did not start, hence the errors from ticket #28401 (they indicate that REAssaultSC01_DN123SkylanesAssault is not running although DN123 is assuming that it does, and trying to set a stage on that quest fails). Instead, the trigger started a generic assault. This broke the quest irreparably.
