This quest is another annoying jumping puzzle.  I thought I'd save everyone some trouble, and give some instructions: You need to make four jumps to get to the core.  As you come off of the transporter, there are three jump pads connected to a cylinder at ground level.   1.  The starting pad you want is the next one that is counter clockwise from the pad in front of the transporter. 2.  When you are on the ground pad and looking outward, the second pad is above and slightly to the left.  Strangely, it's easier to reach the second pad  if you jump onto the ground pad from the clockwise direction rather than the counter-clockwise direction. 3.  When you are on the second pad and looking outward, the third pad is slightly above and slightly to the right. 4.  When you are on the third pad and looking outward, the fourth and final pad is directly in front of you, and below you. Once you land on the fourth pad, you should jump right to the platform with the core.
