Newcomer / Intro Mission delivery bug... Never happened before

Ok, I've been doing a ton of missions already, and this is the first time I encountered this bug:
I'm in SOL, I took a "GIVE SLAVES" mission for one of the local Federal factions. I go get the slaves (still have about 100 hours left to complete it), I land undetected in the home station, and there is no "Deliver cargo" option in the bulleting board. It's like this mission doesn't exist, as far as the BB is concerned, but when I look at my mission/transactions status on the left screen, it still shows that the mission is active and I have over 100 hours to deliver the goods. Yes, I have the right kind of "slaves" (i.e. not "imperial slaves") and the right quantity, but I cannot deliver it and complete the mission. One more twist - while enroute to my destination, I was looking at some random USS to complete a different mission (for a Black Box delivery, which I delivered successfully earlier), I met this NPC who told me his faction would pay for the slaves if I go to his system/station (i.e. alternate delivery). OK, fine, I don't want to deliver it to this new faction and I want to deliver it to the original faction and station (Sol system - Daedalus station, Mother Gaia). The mission/transaction page on the left has both the new faction location to deliver (as ALT DELIVERY location) and the original system to deliver as well.

What do I do now??? If the timer runs out, I'll lose rep with the (major) Federation and with Mother Gaia faction.:mad:
 
And that's why USS are evil. You do fetch/deliver mission, never visit a USS, just do your job and get paid (which most CMDR learn real quick). The USS mission modifier goes wacko all the time.

If u want to do USS missions, don't do other types.

on your problem, I don't know. many just abandon mission and chalk it out as lesson. You can try bringing 2 more slaves (expensive and risky), but I really have no idea.

I actally have 6 slaves in my ship. I logged off and on like 4 times, but still no luck. Should I just abandon the mission, or do the alternate delivery (in other words, which is the lesser of two evils, so to speak?)
 
Up to you. You have 100 hr to decide lol. Here's what I do, get rid of the 6 slaves by selling them or by doing other slave missions. Then come back with a fresh set. If it works, it works. If it doesn't you can choose to gain some rep with the alternate faction by delivering there or not. You will lose mother gaia rep either way... Not sure if the mother gaia rep lost is the same though.
