Short Sighted foreshadowing
Spoiler alert for a later Starfield mission:
During Short Sighted, you will be given the option to help Sarah and Barrett with fixing the Eye. Who you help first will massively change events later in the game.
Should you assist Barrett with his computer program first, Sarah’s fixes with the wrenches will go wrong.
Should you assist Sarah with the wrenches first, Barrett’s computer changes will go wrong.
Whoever you help last, and therefore whose task goes wrong, will die in a later quest and no longer be recruitable as a crew member or companion.

Short Sighted mission console commands
If you just want to start the Short Sighted mission, all you need to do is enter the following Starfield console command to begin:
startquest 001B41D1
Be warned that attempting to start a quest that requires specific triggers or hidden markers can result in game instability, so it is recommended you save your game before trying any commands. If however you are encountering a Starfield bug that prevents the mission from advancing, you might want to try the following:
resetquest 001B41D1
The above command will completely reset a quest (make sure you save your game beforehand in case it causes a crash to desktop). It also has the potential to prevent that quest from ever completing, meaning you’ll need to use the completequest 001B41D1 command to progress.
