Hahne-Kedar Facility on Capek

This mission is triggered after completing the mission N7: Abandoned Research Station (which itself is triggered by N7: Wrecked Merchant Freighter). Jarrahe Station got abandoned after receiving a shipment which originated from the Hahne-Kedar facility on Capek (Haskins System, Titan Nebula).

Mission briefing

Commander 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 opens 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.”

LOKI Mechs shortly before self destruction

Throughout the facility Shepard is at first attacked by FENRIS Mech and LOKI Mech, later by an endless flood of LOKI Mechs. There is no point in taking cover behind a crate and waiting for it to end, since Shepard has to shut down the infected production line. Along some crates of Element zero, a small maze leads to the back right of the room and to a door with the console to shut down the production which also triggers self destruction in all Mechs. Commander Shepard escapes in the shuttle and a big explosion destroys the factory.

This mission can be very hard on harder difficulities. To beat this level one should take advantage of the spawning mechanic which only allows 3 Mechs to be alive at a time, after "the endless flood" event has been triggered. If you are able to disable all 3 mechs at the same time, then instead of killing them, just run past them. Once you get past them, they won't be able to kill you, and no more mechs will spawn.

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. Tres

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 warehosue 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. Gamble
