I forgot to mention that I remembered that there was a pop up when I was attempting to ask Ava's experience, iirc the pop up says to reload a previous save to prevent any issues in story sequence I think, I didn't take a screenshot nor can I remember what it actually said, but if it has interrupted the story sequence beyond on in-save repairs then I'll just make a new save and start over, still early on my 2nd Iron Shell run after all so no significant progress made as of yet,
But I might want to know if anyone else had the same issue since I've got a lot of various mods installed that might possibly had a hand in.
