Noveria: Lorik Qui´in

Mass Effect
Commander Shepard is directed to Qui'in by Gianna Parasini, after failing to obtain a garage pass from Administrator Anoleis. Lorik explains that he is in a difficult situation: Anoleis is accepting bribes and Qui'in managed to gather evidence on his corruption, but Anoleis found out and accused Qui'in of being corrupt himself. Anoleis has illegally paid Noveria security to ransack Qui'in's office, in an effort to find the incriminating data. Lorik offers a garage pass in exchange for Shepard recovering the data from his computer, though he warns the Commander that violence may be necessary.

If you accept the option to help Lorik Qui'in, he will give you his pass and the promise of helping you out to exit the station, as well as warn you about the probably need of violence to deal with the mercenaries.

When you reach the entrance of the Synthetic Insights Offices a group ERCRS guards will stop you saying: "Freeze, Hashan security. This office is sealed", whatever the answer you give, they will say: "you are the Specter, right? Lorik Qui´in is under investigation"

You can either talk to them, that makes them aggressive and starts shooting, or use Charm/Intimidate to deal with them. I got charm Maxed out and Intimidate in 9

With Charm: Shepard: "you are working for Anoleias, does captain Matsuo knows you are here?" ERCS Guard: "Hey I'm not after him is Anoleias, let's pretends we didn't see you and you didn't see us" Paragon +8 With intimidate: Shepard: "..I can kill criminals" ERCS Guard: "You are bluffing" Depending on the Company you bring, they may say something. "They don't pay me enough to deal with specters, marines, or whatever, look let's pretend we didn't see you and you didn't see us." Intimidate +9

After searching the offices, you can fins some upgrades, a bomb for Shepard, 2 crates with weapons,and in Lorik's office a secure wall safe (needs high decryption) an medical kit.

At the moment you leave the office, Kaira Stirling appears saying: "I don´t think you´re supposed to be in here, Shepard." After some chat, it ends up in a shooting.

Once Shepard has recovered the evidence, Parasini shows at the entrance of the building, and invites us a drink in the hotel before we talk with Qui' in. She asks for help conducting her investigation into Anoleis. She wants Shepard to convince Qui'in to testify; once confronted with this, Lorik is annoyed at Shepard's presumption, but the Commander can use Charm or Intimidate to persuade him, or give up and exchange the data for a garage pass.

Conversation with him can also be used to acquire an unlimited number of Paragon or Renegade Points (requires either 5 charm or intimidate points to unlock these options).

Depending on the resolution of the corruption plot, namely by giving the evidence directly to Qui'in, if later revisited at the mezzanine, Qui'in will proudly relate that he is now the Administrator of Port Hanshan.
