Aria: Blue Suns

Darner Vosque, leader of the Blue Suns, wants General Oraka out of his way before committing the Suns to Aria. Find a way to deal with Oraka.

Acquisition
Speak to Aria at the Purgatory on the Citadel after completing Priority: Palaven.

Walkthrough
First, meet with Darner Vosque in the refugee camp at the Citadel. Vosque tells you that he wants turian General Septimus Oraka, who is investigating his raids on C-Sec weapons, dead in order to pledge his allegiance to Aria (as well as some of that "blue ass" to seal the deal). Aria explains that Shepard should talk to Oraka and get him to back off.

Oraka has abandoned Chora's Den for the Courtyard area of the Presidium Commons. He tells you that he needs you to secure high-grade weapons if he is to lay off the Blue Suns, to prepare the Citadel for the eventual Reaper attack. He directs you to a salarian named Kannik further down in the Meridian Place Market, at Cipritine Armory.

Kannik is willing to deal, but only if you find rare artifacts to give to him. The artifact is in Kite's Nest on the planet Vana in the Vular system. Return the artifact to Kannik and you will receive a reward, then talk to Oraka to complete the mission. Alternatively, you can order a hit on Oraka after talking to him. It will complete the mission instantly, but you will gain Renegade points. Finally, the Blue Suns join your War Assets.

Bug
In some instances, if you take the Paragon path (i.e.: Try to complete the mission by bringing the artifact to Kannik instead of ordering a hit on Oraka), the War Assets do not get updated. (But the Journal shows as the mission as completed and if you talk to Aria she says that she has control over the Blue Suns). To fix this follow this procedure; Save just before you handover the artifact to Kannik. Order the hit on Oraka. Now you will see the War Asset being updated. Then reload from the save you just did. Hand the artifact over to Kannik. The war asset will immediately get updated (even before you talk with Oraka again).

In the more common case, this problem can be solved simply by waiting a few seconds after Kannik finishes speaking when you hand him the artifact. If you walk away too soon your war assets will not get updated.
