To trigger this quest, you must have a high affinity with Colony 6 (4 1/2 stars) and that will prove more difficult than the other areas due to the limited amount of NPCs in Colony 6. You must also rebuild Colony 6 and invite more people to complete their quest. You can also do quests from the Refugee Camp in Bionis' Leg but those alone will not prove enough.
