How do I pick up an item from someone in a station?

[etarm]

I took a "fetch and carry" mission, where I was supposed to retrieve a document from a guy at a certain station, so I flew to the station and docked at the Bar (as the mission guidance suggested). Went into the station and looked all around, but couldn't find the man with the document. The usual mechanic was outside, and there were two people in the bunk room(or whatever it's called) that were hire-able. The bar was empty, as was the little room just past the bar with the wine rack and the table. Am I missing something, or should my contact have been in the bar (which would have made the most sense)? I wandered around until the timer went out and the mission failed .

I've noticed a couple of times that mission guidance can disappear. If you try the following, it could lead to the guidance reactivating and leading you to an NPC:

1. Disable and Re-enable the Mission Guidance.
2. Set a different mission to active, then revert to the delivery mission.
3. Saving, under a new slot, and reloading.

Please let us know if one of these helps. Thanks.
