Received from: automatically after finding an anomaly [Canalus]

Description: The only way to activate this quest is to find an anomaly and you must begin by opening the galaxy map and choosing the Pylos Nebula. Use a fuel depot and then fly to a nearby Dirada system. Find a planet named [Canalus] here and confirm that you want to scan its surface. Keep holding the right mouse button and move the mouse until the transmission heard in the background will be very clear. A white dot should appear on the surface and you must click the left mouse button to send a probe there. Land on the surface to officially start this quest.

The biggest problem during this mission will be severely limited visibility. As a result you'll have to kill most of the geth by instinct and by locating red rectangles which surround them on your HUD. This should make finding them a little easier, however you will still have to be careful, especially since you'll also be encountering hunters - locating them will be even tougher than usual.

As for the main objective of this mission, you can focus only on heading towards a massive geth structure seen in the distance (blue lights) or you can spend additional time exploring the area. If you decide to check your surroundings then you'll have a chance to collect minerals. This map contains four stockpiles of 100 units of palladium and eight stockpiles of 200 units of palladium (that's a total of 2000 units of the mineral).

You'll have to choose between two passageways in the early stages of this mission - one passageway will lead you through lower sections (first screenshot) and the other one through an upper bridge (second screenshot). I would recommend choosing the first (lower) path, because it'll be much easier to find good cover.

Keep heading forward. New geth units will attack you close to your destination (first screenshot). Just as before, you'll have to pay special attention to invisible hunters - make sure to prevent them from moving too close to your team.

Make sure that you've successfully eliminated all enemy units and then proceed towards a large geth device seen in the distance. Explore the area to find a large control panel. Interacting with this object (second screenshot) will automatically end the mission, so make sure that you've collected all resources first.
