However I am now frustratingly stuck

I have completed all of the mission that I can find up to Jokanur Diggings and arrived st the Outpost last night.
The nice man had the double green clams over his head and being late desided i would tackle the mission in the morning.
Today all he will do is tell me to complete "The Honorable General" and the clams are gone.
Anyone know what mission and where ? I have to go to be able to start the Jokanur Diggings Co-Operative???
