No Temp challenge disables disguise given by arc

[darkgob]

In Operation Skyhook from Lt. Chalmers, your first task is to steal a holographic projector from Arachnos so you can infiltrate a Council base in the second mission; the power is granted as an automatic temporary power.  But when you do this mission via Flashback with the No Temporary Powers challenge set, the temp power is disabled, robbing you of the disguise; this also affects the Nictus Gravitic Emanation click power and Nictus Absorption auto power given to you by Shelley Percy in the arc (but strangely, the Nictus Shadow Step power is not affected).

 

I understand that the point of the challenge is that you can't rely on temporary powers, but if possible I don't think this should be applied to powers that are specifically granted to you in the mission itself, certainly not this one at least.

 

EDIT: After stepping into the mission I realize the disguise power isn't meant to be stealth as the mission takes place in a Wyvern base -- the intention is actually to frame the Council and trick Wyvern into "counter" attacking them.  I'm not deleting this though because I stand by my assertion, and also because this bug really just ruins the narrative of the mission for no reason.

Adding a related second bug: Holographic Projector cancels itself if you use a stealth toggle. It's set as an exclusive stealth toggle - despite being purely cosmetic and story-related, and neither stealth, nor a toggle.

 

This caused someone in help chat today to worry that the timed mission would fail because the holographic projector wasn't working. Mission not failing, and story assuming the holographic projector stays on, indicates that staying on is the intended behavior.

Compare to the Arachnos Disguise from the Faultline arc, which stays on as expected, regardless of no temp power challenge, or if a stealth toggle is used.
