*You can acquire and complete this quest without actually picking it up and won't show up in your Journal. In order to make sure it appears up in your Journal, after you've completed Tranquility and finished the post-quest dialogue, move away from Anders (possibly leaving and traveling to another location then returning). Check to see that he has the gold quest arrow over him before talking to him. It should now show up in your Journal under Companion Quests and you can complete it normally.
