Can't get onto the Rec or Operations decks on Zheng Shi?

[Escuro]

The rec deck at least says something about "waiting for the heat to die down", I assume since I released the slaves. But the operations deck doesn't say anything of the sort, and I would assume that's where the boss is so that I can actually liberate the station and free Adria?

But it just... doesn't let me walk out of the elevator. My only interactable is the floors menu and I can't even open my inventory or codex during it.

I would assume this is a bug, right?

Nope.

The boss you need to beat is in the fancy ship they're building.

The other decks only open up after you return to the station later, which is also when you can free Ardia.

You don't have to leave, just beat the boss.
