There is a bug that if you found the diary but don't have the medal then the NPC won't recognize the quest section is complete. I don't remember what happened to the medal, maybe I left it for the scavengers or sold it. All I have left is the book, so I can't trigger the next section. At least that is my theory based not the video tutorials of this quest. It would be nice if the quest turn-in was just the book or it could be reset. I guess I'll have this quest open until the end of the game since I have no way to delete it or complete it. If the book IS the only thing you need to activate the next step of the quest I guess this is 2nd bug... or part of the first. Hopefully, this isn't essential. It's marked as a secondary quest so it shouldn't be...
