  • Speak to the salarian refugee, and he will give Ryder UV Lights needed for the mission Emergency S.O.S..
  • Speak to the turian refugee, and he lets Ryder know he needs some antibiotics for the patient. One of the datapads has a message promising some helpful herbs but no location is given. "Those who seek, shall find," it says. It happens to be the same people needing the UV lights. This mission arc is Task: Herbal Entrepreneurs and then the broken Task: Running a Fever. Unfortunately, it is not possible to collect any of those herbs.
