You can also read all about them from the ambassador in the non-mission instanced version of Defera

Thanks for the advice but thats not the point...that was just an example.

The Q Mission had the same problem. And it's for some reason an open-instance mission, so I had to restart a few times to ensure I would be alone to read the text. I like open instance missions, in general, but this aspect is annoying about them. So I prefer it to be used for story-light missions like those patrols.
