I have to put this aside until later this evening, but this is what I've done so far. Made it to the MSI and after a L-O-N-G cutscene, I am now walking around as Luci. Random, Coryool and Wendy are in the MSI Deluxe Bedrooms area. I think Zelina is there too. When I speak to Coryool, I speak as Luci. I can leave and travel around the MSI as Luci. I went to the area beyond the gym and below the music stage and Sarah is there wishing there was a pool there. I ran into Nash somewhere along the line. I haven't seen Baretta. I returned to the deluxe bedrooms and spoke to Random again. I had thought that at this point, gameplay would transfer from Luci to Random, but, nope, I'm still Luci. I suspect I may have to find Baretta and then return to Random.
If I try to leave the institute, Luci says she likes it better inside. I'm not getting a message about having to speak with everyone. Can you tell me where you've gone and to whom you've spoken thus far? Are you still Luci walking around? If so, try talking to Sarah on Lv2 again. I think you go up the main wide stairs, then around to the right and up a wide set of stairs again, but that's from memory and mine gets worse each week. <sigh> If you see the gym on the lower left and the music stage on the upper right of the map, you'll know you're on the right level. It may be that the game thinks you're Random even though the sprite is still Luci, and the game is waiting for Random to talk to Sarah. Definitely a bug, but perhaps a bug that's been fixed. Something to try anyway while you're waiting for a better answer.
EDIT-If you decide to download a newer version, do not load your MSI save. If there was a bug, you'll just bring it along. Instead, load your game just prior to exiting the insect-infested forest. Again, this may have nothing to do with there being a bug, but just to be safe.
