I've been looking even further into the Bloody Angel side quest, since so many people have reported it going missing. I initially thought it was possible to avoid freeing her in Public Safety HQ, but that's not possible.

Looking into the actual mission event, I can tell you this. There are four variables involved to unlock the mission in the code. Unfortunately, I don't understand them all, but I can make some generalizations:

1. Like all missions, you can't be on another mission if you want to collect this one.

2. You have to clear 3rd Test Site.

3. The third variable is one I haven't been able to trace. I know it's possible for it to be set as early as 3rd Test Site, since I've seen the Bloody Angel mission show up immediately. I can also tell you that the variable is turned on guarenteed by the Chapter 3 opening.

4. Another variable that I can't trace, but is guarenteed to be turned OFF by the Chapter 4 opening. So the quest becomes inaccessible in Chapter 4 guarenteed.

The conditions are still a mystery but it seems like it should be impossible to miss the mission so long as you are in Chapter 3 and don't have another mission going (and I've seen it earlier than that). The most likely answer for people missing the quest is that they overlooked it until they reached Chapter 4, at which point the mission is locked off forever.

It might be possible that one of the two variables can be adjusted ahead of time, breaking things, but if it's possible, I'm afraid I can't work out where.
