This quest took me awhile (mostly from having to kill Brokers I needed to kill like 10)
All objectives are in the Untethered Space, none of them are in the normal K'aresh phase.
[item=243049] are on the ground all over Tazavesh or the other islands. They're pretty common so you should find them while going for the others.
[item=243050] and [item=243055] drop from [npc=242517] the big ethereal guys. They're on every island but I got my kills in and around the big inn/renown building in Tazavesh.
[item=243053] drop from [npc=243044] big broker guys. These took forever to find and get to drop. I found most of them on the north-east most island.
[item=243054] drop from [npc=242525] big devourer dudes. These guys are all over too but I got mine on the north island near the 'Untethered Space' titled Phase Conduit.
[item=243053] has annoyingly low drop chance, but luckily you only need one of them.
- [npc=243044] drop them, and you can find them in these AREAS, while in Untethered Space:
/way #2371 49.6 26.8 Unraveled Energy Broker (Shadow Point: Darkmend - inside and outside of the tower)
/way #2371 56.6 21.2 Unraveled Energy Broker (Fracture of Laacuna)
/way #2371 59.2 29.4 Unraveled Energy Broker (Shan'dorah)
/way #2371 61.4 39.4 Unraveled Energy Broker (Castigaar - By the broken tower)
/way #2371 66.6 49.0 Unraveled Energy Broker (Lunnall River)
/way #2371 80.4 51.6 Unraveled Energy Broker (North Sufaad)Remember you can use the Untethered Space platforms to fast travel around while in Untethered Space, and at T3 power with Reshii Wraps (cloak) you can mount up while in there! Good luck!
//[npc=243044] do spawn all around in K'aresh, but can be bit more scattered compared to those zones.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Meat My Business
Since I am helping you, I'm sure you won't mind returning the favor. I have a constant need for fresh, untainted meat, which is quite hard to come by. The Oasis is off limits, but the wildlife roaming these sands? I've got a list of what I need.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Blue for You
Why you want such a strange beast? I save many better items just for you. What about some soap? But, I not deny <name> heart's desire.
