You can find the quest at Cetus Island, Navia. The quest is given by Melo, standing beside Slayer at the center of the island.

Melo’s Upgrade Plan side quest walkthrough

When the quest starts, you will need to go to Banges Black Market and ask Hopkins for a language chip. Hopkins will make a deal and ask for three firecores. If you have them already, hand them over to Hopkins. If not, you can go to the area east of the black market, and you will get some there. You need to break the firey red ores and loot them from inside.

After you give Hopkins the firecores, he will trick you into getting something more valuable for the language chip. Go to Cetus Island and tell Melo about the situation. After that, ask Claire for a language chip and return to Melo’s location. He won’t be there, and you will again need to head to the black market to find Melo.

After finding Melo, talk to Hopkins about the language chip and head to Cetus Island. Talk to Claire; she will give you a language chip this time. Head to the black market and exchange Clair’s chip for a language chip with Hopkins. Go to Cetus Island and talk to Claire. She will tell you that Melo’s language malfunction is fixed. Doing so will complete the quest, and you will get XP points and two SSR Colossus Arm shards.
