Just a heads up, others have had this issue you have & had to start over. Example: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/67805...eborn/67234981
I also know this from personal experience, because I abandoned the relic quest by mistake while on Garuda Hard. (Trying to leave duty, but clicked abandon quest instead. Stupid I know) So I had to restart the whole thing all over again, even on the same job.
Other sites like Reddit and fan sites also have people that were in the same situation, GMs didn't resolve it. Hope they might 'fix' it though, and I wish you luck in getting it resolved.
