Mass Effect

Once Shepard becomes a Spectre this assignment can be obtained in one of two ways.

Find Helena Blake near the Emporium in the Financial District of the Presidium. She will call the Commander over to talk.
A Person of Interest, the first name given to this assignment in your journal, can be acquired by decrypting a computer console in the C-Sec academy (in the office next door to Chellick). Note, however, that this will require you to have at least Decryption Rank 9 (Hard Decryption). The terminal report reads as follows:



You'll face a wide variety of mercenaries on this assignment, including krogan. A mixed squad will probably work best, and you can adjust your squad for each planet if desired. There's a fairly high mix of snipers, so armor mods that provide additional shielding or damage protection make sense for surviving their one-shot attempts.

Because almost all of these enemies can regenerate and use Immunity on higher difficulties, it may be best to save this assignment until you have reached level 30 or so - that way you'll face them with better equipment and more powerful abilities. At least one opponent can use neural shock on Shepard - thankfully, not often - but expect to fall over on the floor at least once while someone shoots at you.

In terms of squadmates, ones who take and do a lot of damage really quickly, like Wrex or Ashley, are useful here. Weapon mods that prevent regeneration and increase damage work here.

One of the visitable environments in this assignment may require anti-hazard armor if you intend on spending time away from the Mako.


Mission Briefing 
When spoken to, Helena Blake explains that she is a high ranking member of a criminal cartel and wants two crime bosses and their operations eliminated. They're red sand dealers who trade any defaulting customers to batarians as slaves, a business practice of which Blake disapproves. Once they're dead she will manage their organization "more tastefully".

Regardless of whether you accept her offer or not, Blake will give you the coordinates to her partners' bases. Morality points are available depending on your behavior.

Note: If you already acquired the assignment from Blake herself, the alternative assignment acquisition terminal at the C-Sec office becomes inaccessible, which means the loss of a few experience points. To maximize gains at this time, acquire the assignment by decrypting the terminal first, then speaking to Blake for those morality points.

The crime bosses - who are not named - are located on two different planets. The first is found on the planet Mavigon of the Han system in the Gemini Sigma cluster. The second is on Klensal of the Dis system in the Hades Gamma cluster.

Mavigon Base
UNC Hostile Takeover MavigonThe base on Mavigon is located on a high cliff in the southeast corner of the map. The base itself is defended by three heavy turrets. Take these down at a distance, or lower their health and then take them out on foot for more exp. Remember that Mavigon is a Level 2 Cold Hazard (incorrectly labeled Level 1 in-game) so be careful when exiting the Mako and watch the bar in the lower right hand corner of the screen. Once you are in clear, enter the base.
The base is a science station layout so the entryway is clear. Once in the entryway grab the medical kit and move through the hallway to the main room, save your game if you wish. The main room holds 5 regular mercs, 2 Snipers, and the Crime Boss. Usually, the first ones coming at you are a couple of krogan mercenaries so hold your squad back until they have been dealt with. Note: On higher difficulty levels the snipers can one-shot you so keep an eye out for them and especially their red laser sighting beams.

There is plenty of cover around so use it to your advantage and eliminate the enemies; you can often lure a few mercenaries at a time back to the enclosed area near the entrance of the main room. The crime boss has a habit of hunkering down behind the bunker wall defense structure at the other end of the room so you may have to move around in order to get to him. Once they are all down you will receive a congratulatory message.
