When you land, run forward and get into cover because two [[FENRIS Mech]]s and two [[LOKI Mech]]s will come out of the facility’s main door. Taking them down isn’t a problem, but the rest of this mission will be. Enter the facility and once you are inside, head forward into the room. Inside you will see a med-kit, a wall safe, and a computer, however there is also a LOKI mech walking in the hallway. Don’t shoot it, because your bullets won’t penetrate the glass, and it will explode, shattering it anyway. Grab the [[Medi-gel]] and the credits from the wall safe before proceeding.

Revision as of 16:53, 21 September 2012

A Hahne-Kedar facility on the planet Capek is in a state of high alert. This facility is the source of the VI virus that has corrupted mechs and mech parts throughout the sector. Stopping the production line is key to ending the outbreak.

Acquisition

After the completion of N7: Abandoned Research Station, Shepard receives a message from EDI about the facility as the possible source of a VI virus that caused the MSV Corsica to crash and led Jarrahe Station's internal VI to kill the scientists aboard.

A scan of Capek (Titan Nebula / Haskins System) yields the following message:

“Surface scan detects mech production facility matching the registration parameters of Hahne-Kedar Corporation. Facility reports emergency lockdown at this location. Personnel scans report no living beings detected. Hazard scans show a large number of virus-infected mechs quarantined within the facility. Deactivation of the primary production line controls should disrupt the creation of additional infected mechs.”

Walkthrough

For this mission, squadmates with Overload will be invaluable. Also Zaeed’s disruptor ammo is a good choice. AI Hacking isn’t as effective as you would think, but it isn't a bad idea to bring Tali or Legion.

When you land, run forward and get into cover because two FENRIS Mechs and two LOKI Mechs will come out of the facility’s main door. Taking them down isn’t a problem, but the rest of this mission will be. Enter the facility and once you are inside, head forward into the room. Inside you will see a med-kit, a wall safe, and a computer, however there is also a LOKI mech walking in the hallway. Don’t shoot it, because your bullets won’t penetrate the glass, and it will explode, shattering it anyway. Grab the Medi-gel and the credits from the wall safe before proceeding.

The initial trio of LOKI mechs will spawn in the southeast quadrant of this image, use the terrain wisely or just get to the door fast

Warning: When you enter the main room, be aware that you will now face an almost endless series of LOKI Mechs, until you reach a certain point.

When you enter, examine officer Gamble's pad, then move up to cover and face the last two FENRIS Mechs on this assignment. Once they are dealt with, grab the eezo on the wall to the right and now your assignment is to get to the end of this maze alive, and that won’t be easy. When you first move down, get your squadmates into cover, and shoot the LOKI Mechs in the wave, then move up to the next cover position. You will have to repeat this process through the factory. The first corner can be tricky, as the waves are very close together, so moving up will be a problem. However, once you are past the first and second corners, and into the small clear area, all you need to do is hold off about ten more LOKI mechs before they stop.

Malfunctioning LOKIs moments before they explode

When the LOKIs finally stop coming, before heading up the ramps, there is a side passage near the ramp that has some more eezo at the end of it. There are also some power cells near the entrance to the area (where Gamble's body is). When you have it, backtrack to the ramps, go up and through the door. Inside are some more ramps, and on the lower level the final crate of eezo, be sure to grab it before moving on. Head up the ramps and you arrive in the factory’s control center. Hack the terminal to shut down the production line, and you are then treated to a cutscene where the squad is running out as the LOKI Mechs’ self-destruct procedures are activated. Then, as the squad leaves, they all self-destruct as the Kodiak lifts off from the facility and is seen though the skylights.

Note: There is a way to avoid these endless amounts of LOKI Mechs, if you’re going through it on the Insanity difficulty. When the first three Mechs appear, run past them, and the others that you would normally encounter after the first three do not spawn at all.


Outgoing Message Logs

Logged by Giana Talarassan

ATTENTION: Mx 72252-4A OPU Recall Notice

Attention all personnel:

Our new circuit board supplier has issued an immediate recall on the Mx7552-4A Obedience Processor, which has been found to cause systematic breakdown of associated components.

We have begun the search for a new supplier. In the meantime, discontinue use of the Mx7552-4A until further notice.

Dr. Rochelle, Director, Hahne-Kedar Experimental Mechanics


No Response

Giana:

Just FYI, we lost contact with the MSV Corsica. After you expressed concern, I checked the logs — and indeed, the mechs and parts they picked up contained the recalled OPUs.

We know the Corsica was headed for a Jarrahe Station in the Strabo system, but we can't seem to contact them. I hope they're all okay, but I think we've done all we can do at this point.

ATTENTION: Emergency Situation in Progress

Dr. Talarassan:

I'm getting reports of mechs coming off our production lines and assaulting workers. Some of them seem to be self-destructing at random. Even units not initially installed with the faulty OPU are showing signs of viral infection. We're looking at a potential facility-wide catastrophe here.

We are containing this as best we can, but we can't keep this suppressed much longer. When Dr. Rochelle learns about this, heads will roll. Mine will not be one of them.

Chief Saunders, Security


Announcement: Facility Lockdown

Dr. Talarassan:

Dr. Rochelle has ordered a complete lockdown. You are hereby ordered to seal the production line access corridor from the rest of the facility.

I realize that doing this will seal me and any workers who remain inside with the malfunctioning mechs. This does not affect your orders.

It has been an honor to work with you.

Chief Saunders, Security

Transcript Log: Security Report

Officer Keith Gamble, Security

Dr. Talarassan Located

Chief:

I've located the asari, Dr. Talarassan, in the production line access corridor. We've set a barricade and disabled access to the rest of the corridor.

Officer Gamble


Proceeding to Objective

Chief:

I secured Dr. Talassan and am heading into the warehouse to access the production line control room. I'll update you once I'm in.

Gamble


Warehouse Breached

Chief:

I'm in the warehouse. It seems pretty empty. Sir, I can see the control room just above the storage room. I might need a few minutes, but I'm pretty sure I can get that main production line shut down.
