Dropping a mission will carry with it everything that completing the mission successfully does. It will advance story arcs, improve Contact XP, grant special powers, give Mission Complete XP, etc. You will not be able to \u201creplay\u201d the mission you dropped. This is done this way so that you are not stuck on a Story Arc, or are missing a vital Temp Power needed later on in the mission chain, etc.\n<\/li>\n<li>\nIn order to drop a mission, you must be the mission owner, and you can talk to the Contact that gave you the mission.
