No view of space on the Zeta Bridge, quest stops

[charwo]

Hey, I don't know if it's a mod doing this but when I get to the bridge of Zeta there's nothing but blackness out the window. No stars, no earth. Every other time I've seen space, it's been fine. Also when I use VATS, the earth and stars come back, as in they phase in a second or two after activating Vats, but is gone as soon as I leave VATS.

More worryingly the Galaxy Ain't Big Enough Quest gets to secure the bridge, and all the enemies (the initial bridge crew) are dead, and NOTHING happens. The other abductees don't come to the bridge, the alien head doesn't pop up and the other ship doesn't come in.

Any ideas of why this is happening or a workaround?

After checking the Wiki for solutions to bugs in "This Galaxy Ain't Big Enough", the only thing to try is "Make sure you have had a save prior to starting this quest, because you'll need to reload everytime if it doesn't pan out... "

That's good. Since I'm playing this for the zillionth time, and advice on how to just end the quest? If I can just get it to end the quest and putting the transponder on the ground and the next time I go up the people who are supposed to be on the bridge are. If all I have to do is console command quest complete, that would work too
