I would recommend The Origin of Power instead, here. 5 missions: talk to person ×4 (should be 5, but I haven't seen the fifth), door mission with ten glowies and boss room. It's listed under 45-50 but awards 25-29 badges.

Run Laura Lockhart's arc, then run it again via Ouroboros. Watch for clues.

Blueside, contacts in a given level range will refer you to others within the same level range until you have a full set, and you can meet others via detective after running a safeguard mission (although this seems twitchy sometimes), so it's impossible to get "blocked off" from a certain chain. Back on live I had a scrapper whose goal was to do every blueside mission in the game. I had gotten pretty lucky; I got through the "go hunt in Dark Astoria"s before Mot ate it, and if the game hadn't gotten shut down, I would have probably finished it all up before Kings Row became the first new content added below her level. Here, I'm going for the relatively sane "all story arcs, all badge missions, maxed contact bars" on my main, who will hit 40 tonight. Ten levels to go...

The badge for Prisoner bosses is a gladiator, Mob Specialist.

Oh, is it Kahn? I'm no expert, but isn't that heroes only? I thought Leandro said that the 3rd visit was something both heroes and villains could do. Kahn is hero-only, but it has a villain equivalent (Barracuda) that presumably can be done instead.

With the nerf, I don't really see a point to running tips beyond seeing the missions once and getting the badges. I'm pretty sure I can get merits faster via flashbacks (the old Psyche TF looks encouraging), and Null the Gull can change alignment... hrm.
