This quest bugged for me - it wouldn't progress to the next step after talking to Firim. Abandoning and picking the quest up off of Firim again (you don't need to travel anywhere from where you are) fixed it.

I had an addon named Cinematic Disabler (i don't care about cinematics), I had to disable it and drop the quest and pick it back up again to get it to work.
I could not progress during "Talk to Firim" step. I had to abandon the quest -AND- reload the game completely -AND- after picking up the quest again I could not skip the cutscene or it would bug again. So if you encounter this bug, just let the cutscene play as well.

What to do
Description
You truly brought me an oracle! Intact even! I have never known these divine beings to speak to anyone but automa. There is so much we could learn from her about Zereth Mortis. You must tell me everything!
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Unseen Agents
Ever since you opened the way from Oribos, certain cartels have taken the opportunity to come after me and my work in a rather... lethal fashion. They know how important my research is to everything. More assassins are sure to follow, what with you blazing a clear path right to me!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Surveying Cyphers
There are many consoles such as that one scattered throughout Zereth Mortis. They have all been beyond my understanding, but perhaps that creature intends to reveal their meaning to us? Fortunately, I know where there are more. I will mark them on your map, and accompany you...
