Ok apparently some one saw the bug report I made and fixed the situation. It appears the problem was during my chat with Ophelia for some reason her conversation ended prematurely, I believe in the middle of the chat where I was getting the quest I was trying to navigate around the site in the background and doing so caused the chat to be closed. When I tryed to recontact her she gave me her away message so I just bumumed I’d gotten everything I needed already but while I had already gotten access to the forums themselves and she had already verbally given me the mission, I had not actually gotten to the point in the conversation where the mission was officially logged to my account. Apparently although the alternate egos come with the forums, the martyr ability comes with being given the mission, thus why I had no abilities.

So I guess the lesson is, when chatting with some one on sTalk don’t do anything in the background.
