Help with modding a NPC giving radiant quests

I wonder if any modders here know how to deal with radiant quests...

Dr. Percival Walker gives out radiant quests at the TMD on Mars to collect alien samples and return them. I would like to have Percival on my science and exploration ship and give me missions without having to go back to Mars every time. Looking at the mission in xEdit it seems to be checking for the location to be the Red Devil (TMD) HQ. So simply teleporting the good Dr to my ship doesn't work.

Is there any way I might be able to get this to work with my minimal mod skills? Is there a way to start a radiant quest via console commands? Of course I tried startquest <ID> but that does nothing... regardless of whether I'm in the TMD or not.

I just don't understand how radiant quests work enough to know if this is even possible.
