The Vex seem to have their imprint on most of the planets and one that you recently discovered has led you to explore The Gulch at the EDZ.
This quest begins once you have found such traces and leads you to what may be a hidden network where the Vex have stored a weapon.
You will need to follow the clues to figure out what the Vex has hidden deep within The Gulch and bring it back.
How to Get The Variable Quest?
The Variable is not initiated by talking to any NPC but rather by starting a mission called NODE.OVRD.AVALON, which is referred to as Node Override Avalon by others.
This mission can be started by first heading to The Gulch and finding 6 traces of Vex data within a small amount of time apart from each other.
Once all of the traces have been found, you will need to follow the signs to a nearby cave where a Harpy will allow you to start the mission, which begins The Variable quest.
When you begin the Node OVRD Avalon mission, you will get The Variable quest, which is already on quest step 3.
