Ok, if you are like me and you were stuck in the first zone forever and did not realize how to continue the quest line:
Look on your map and you will see multiple vindicaars on the map, once you complete enough of the previous questline, the end of Krokuun is when you link the new spell ability to the Matrix core.The Vindicaar Matrix Core quest
once you do that, you are expected to click on the teleport pad thing and travel to the new zone, once there a new quest opens
Securing a FootholdSo summary, if you are stuck and don't know how to continue the Argus story, click the teleporter, is there another ship visible? If so, go there
FYI if you are coming back to finish this quest in 2021 you have to go to Dalaran and use the Lightforged Beacon to get back to Argus. It is located on the same platform as the flight master.
I spent several hours trying to find a portal back to Argus on various occasions before randomly stumbling up on it, as it's not documented anywhere that I could find.

What to do
Description
Alleria and I have scouted this area before, alongside some of our best soldiers. We stationed encampments on either side of our current position, but I fear they will have come under heavy attack. They need reinforcements. Our first order of business is to set up a teleportation beacon directly below the Vindicaar. From there, we will have access to both fronts. Speak to Romuul when you are ready to head down to the surface.
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.
- The Burning Heart
The loss of Xe'ra is a blow, especially to Turalyon. But even the Light Mother could not be allowed to force destiny upon us. I wish Illidan had found another way to refuse her... but I too have had choices imposed upon me by the naaru. This must not distract us from our mission.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reinforce Light's Purchase
Now that we have established a foothold, we need to rendezvous with our soldiers in the field. We have an Army of the Light encampment to the south, near where the Legion is keeping their strongest warriors in some sort of stasis. Alleria went to scout the area.
