I was unable to see the Shadecaster until I completed Manufactured Mutiny. After completing, the Shadecaster showed up immediately.
Hope this helps.
Edit: Just for continuity, I had this quest in my log already and so this area was phased. If experiencing this outside of the above quest, it may be worth it to complete the campaign up to this quest to see if that fixes your issue.
I think this is bugged if you accep it alongside the nearer Lilian Voss Campaign.
Cannot see anything to pick or to loot
