You won’t see a quest marker next to the transmission, so thoroughly scroll through and read each name until you see it.

Once you listen to the transmission, you’ll immediately receive your next quest objective, allowing you to proceed to the next planet and search for Barrett.

During the transmission, you’ll hear a conversation between Matsura, a member of the Crimson Fleet, and Barrett. In short, Matsura notices Barrett attempting to figure out their location while recording a transmission. However, rather than eliminating him, they tie Barrett up to bring them to their next destination. With this new information, you’ll then go to that planet and see Barrett again.

From this point onward, your future with him will depend on your choices and who you decide to befriend. For now, saving him from the Crimson Fleet is your main priority in this quest.
