Prologue: Awakening

This mission, which is the second part of the prologue, starts right after completing Prologue: Save Joker and is designed to provide a basic combat tutorial, by introducing field mission concepts, as following Commander Shepard's awakening, after Shepard as been brought back to life through the Lazarus Project. The awakening is quite rough, as it happens while the Lazarus station in under a terrorist attack aiming at the failure of the project.

Walkthrough (part 1): awakening and escaping the Lazarus station
After the opening cutscene, which shows Shepard being literally "rebuilt" by the Lazarus Project (moment when the character design screen takes place, if this is not an imported character) and awakening to station alarms, Shepard has to walk to the nearby locker (as indicated by a tutorial pointing arrow and message) to obtain a pistol and armor. Then, Miranda Lawson will introduce herself over the radio and start giving Shepard instructions on how to escape the station.

Shepard first has to take cover (where indicated by the tutorial) to avoid damage from an explosion, which blows the room's door, allowing Shepard to exit it and continue on to the next obstacle.

From guide

Take cover in the next room and quickly pick off the lone LOKI Mech on the stairway.

Proceed through the next few rooms where you will encounter a few LOKI Mechs; they will be the some of the easiest targets you will find in this game, (it might be a good idea to knock them down and kill them for the Brawler achievement), and needless to say, Overload and AI Hacking would make this part a lot easier for you, if you are on a harder difficulty.

There will be recordings by Miranda and Dr. Wilson about their experience reviving Shepard, and an intro to the hacking and routing mini-games, but nothing else of much note.

Eventually you will meet Jacob. After clearing the room with Jacob and a little bit more dialog, Shepard and Jacob will meet up with Miranda's assistant, Wilson, who you will have to heal using medigel and your unity power. After some dialog you will head forth toward the shuttle bay and face a few more enemies. In the bay where the second wave of mechs attack, you will find a datapad which you can then attempt to hack (if you fail, you can retry as many times as you want until you get the hang of it). The mission ends when you arrive at the shuttle bay and meet with Miranda.

Walkthrough (part 2): meeting the Illusive Man
After talking to him you will have either 8 renegade or paragon points if you do not answer neutral (for Paragon / Renegade points attribution, check video ??).

After you speak to him you finish this mission and start the next one, Freedom's Progress (mission). Before you leave speak to Miranda for 4 more Paragon/ Renegade points, same with Jacob.(4 points)
