I have found a bug in the main questline. After visiting the lab and the crashed freighter, I returned to the holo terminal on Rionnoce next to one of my bases on the planet and summoned up Null. Null however then appeared as an image but could be selected and interacted with. After reloading the game under the pretence it might fix the issue, Null simply wasn't there any more and could not be selected.
I got around the issue by returning to orbit and then speaking with Artemis in her 'new home'. I was then given coordinates to Nockleyak VIII, another planet in the same system and this time I was able to summon Null again and advance the terminal.
It seems the bug is due to not having already spoken with Artemis, to speak with Artemis however you have to be in space and it is entirely possible to complete the whole of that part of the questline without actually entering space at all, which it seems I have done. I am not sure the devs assumed the player would already have done so and didn't account for the possibility they wouldn't have.
