Return to the Aetia Region, Full and teleport over to the Forward Post Camp Rest Spot in Alfeto Valley. From here, and back towards the direction of Colony 9 to begin the Quest and trigger a battle. Complete the Where the Heart Is Quest, then you’ll have access to Colony 9 which means you can gain access to the Off-Seer’s Anguish Standard Quest. Finally, roam around Colony 9 and listen in on all the conversations until you’re given the “Colony 9 Shortages”, then discuss it at the Colony 9 Barracks to unlock this quest.
