Ahoy! I have one thought on doing maintenance to this quest. Listen.

While talking to Scholar Lorenzo, the cutscene camera should focus on him while he says his lines, "Who goes there? Ah, you are no Clockwork - thank goodness you've come - the Armada has destroyed my ship, and I am trapped here!", & "Your way is blocked? I am not surprised. The Armada is nefarious indeed.".

Well, that's the only thought on doing maintenance to that quest. Hope that gets done soon. Thanks!
