Citadel: Schells the Gambler

Citadel: Schells the Gambler is an assignment gained by an encounter as you are entering the Citadel's Flux, a bar and casino in the Wards District.

The first time you enter Flux after you become a Spectre, a cutscene plays showing a salarian being thrown out of Flux. A conversation will ensue, as he explains that he is trying to perform research to perfect his "system" for predicting the outcomes of the Quasar machines. In order to do this, he has been using a device which emits a signal that tampers with the machines, increasing his odds of winning, as he needs more data on winning instead of losing; this is why he was thrown out. He will attempt to enlist your help with collecting the data; if you refuse, he'll stay at the entrance to Flux until you agree to help him out.

Once Schells gives you the device, you can either give the device to Doran, or collect the data as requested. Either option will result in a reward of credits and experience.

If you return to the club after handing over the device, you will see Doran dancing on the club floor; you can highlight him and activate to do a little dancing of your own...
