Mass Effect 2 "Recruit the Scientist" help

[Sahasrahla]

OK, so I've narrowed the problem down to three possibilities:

1) I've gone suddenly mentally deficient (haven't ruled that out)
2) I've a defective copy (highly unlikely)
3) I've yet to accomplish some specific yet unnamed goal that unlocks the shuttles.

When trying to find the Salarian Scientist on Omega station, why are there no available shuttles to take me to the quarantine zone? I would understand not being able to get into the zone, but the option of trying hasn't even been opened to me; there are just no functioning shuttles. Any ideas?

I don't think I took a shuttle to the Quarantine Zone, I went down a few corridors. You come onto Omega opposite Afterlife, turn right, and enter the door on the right. Follow the path to the Turian guarding the Quarantine Zone. Should be pretty simple.

There is no shuttle to the quarantine zone. The entrance to it is in a back alley. I think it's near the shop run by the Quarian. I'll go check.

EDIT: Never mind. It's near the Elcor's shop. Just look for an alley next to the Batarian preacher with a Turian in it.

Ahhhh... The language used led me to believe I had to go to the area marked "Transport Station" on the map and catch a shuttle to it. It never occurred to me I was looking in entirely the wrong area. D'oh!
