Noveria: Espionage

When you first get to the Port Hanshan Mezzanine on Noveria, an asari named Mallene Callis will call you over. In talking with her you discover she is trying to obtain information from Binary Helix concerning biotic engineering. She will give you a device that can inject monitoring viruses into the Binary Helix intranet. All this device needs is for you to take it close enough to one of the company's businessmen and keep him distracted while it does its thing.

Rafael Vargas, a salesman for Binary Helix, is found elsewhere in the bar. Callis will ask you to approach him as a potential customer and to distract him by talking business with him.

She says he is a shrewd businessman and will be able to tell if you are wasting his time. However, he has a "tell" when he becomes distracted: He rubs the back of his neck.

Talk to him and watch for this "tell". When he does it, press him further on the issue to distract him. Keep him talking until the device beeps. Once it beeps, excuse yourself and return to Callis for your reward.
