Citadel: Batarian Codes

C-Sec Officer Jordan Noles has requested assistance tracking illegal use of batarian diplomatic codes. Consult the Spectre terminal and then locate access points on the Citadel.

Acquisition
Speak to C-Sec Officer Jordan Noles at Presidium Commons, just outside the C-Sec Outpost.

Walkthrough
First head to the Spectre area in the Citadel Embassies and access the batarian codes. You have to enable this instead of just reading it. After doing so, your Citadel map will be updated with the location of the consoles. Go to the consoles at the following locations in that order:


 * 1) Huerta Memorial Hospital - Head to the Lab Services, in the right lab.
 * 2) Normandy Dock: Bay D24 - Located at the Passenger Lounge.
 * 3) Docks: Holding Area - At the end of Bay E28.

After retrieving the final code at the Docks, Shepard finds someone pointing a pistol at his back by none other than Balak. Infuriated and wanting to take vengeance for Shepard's actions in Arrival, he blames Shepard for everything that has happened to the batarians. Depending on how you replay, you will pick up Reputation and/or Morality Points

If you did not kill Balak, Balak leaves, but not before grudgingly committing the Batarian fleet to the war. This contributes the Batarian Fleet to your War Asset. However, if you kill Balak, The Alliance Third Fleet War Asset will be updated instead. Additionally, you will also gain 210 experience for completing this mission.

If you killed Balak in Bring Down the Sky, Shepard will meet up with Noles who has a Batarian in custody. The first phase of the conversation is skipped and it proceeds directly to the second phase, minus the "kill him" part. The batarian fleet is worth more war assets with Balak in command if he is alive and you can convince him to join.
