Description: Starting this quest has some additional requirements - you must first complete two other side missions - Omega: Datapad Recovered and Omega: The Patriarch. Open the galaxy map and confirm that you want to travel to the Crescent Nebula. Use a fuel depot and fly to the Lusarn system. You must find a planet called Tarith there and begin scanning 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.
You may begin your exploration of the [Tarith - Blood Pack relay] map. Read a message after reaching the first campsite and then interact with the first beacon. Notice that the blue light will guide you through the green mist, although you'll want to check some of the side passageways as well to uncover all secrets.
Reaching the second beacon (first screenshot) will only take you a few seconds and naturally you should turn it on as well. Be careful, because you'll be attacked by a group of klixen very soon. You won't encounter a lot of these beasts, however you will have to use heavy firepower due to their resistant shells.
Keep heading forward until you get to the third beacon (first screenshot). Turn it on and spend some time exploring a nearby passageway (second screenshot). Doing this will allow you to find 400 units of platinum. Go back to the main path and start using the blue light to get to the next area.
Expect to encounter more monsters along the way. Eventually you'll get to a much larger area and you should go to your left here. Assuming you're very thorough you shouldn't have any problems finding another 400 units of platinum (first screenshot). Go back to the main path and choose a path leading to the top of a nearby hill (second screenshot).
Once you get to the top you should do two things - read a message left on a datapad and activate a new beacon. Choose a new passageway to get down from this hill (second screenshot). It won't be guarded by anyone, so you can move faster.
I would recommend that you explore the area, because you'll have a chance to collect 400 units of platinum (first screenshot). You may continue moving forward. Deal with a new group of monsters along the way and then locate a new beacon (second screenshot).
Once again, you should take your time to explore your surroundings. Doing this will allow you to find a datapad and 400 units of platinum (first screenshot). Keep heading forward until you find a new beacon (second screenshot). The device may look like it's damaged, but you can turn it on to guide you through the rest of the path.
Keep going straight. You should consider choosing a new passageway along the way, this time in hopes of finding a datapad (first screenshot). Expect to encounter more alien creatures. Eventually you'll get to a new beacon (second screenshot).
I would recommend that you take your time exploring a path leading to a nearby hill (first screenshot). Be careful, because the hill will be guarded by Blood Pack soldiers and the only way to get rid of them will be to engage them in open combat. Find the last pile of resources to collect 400 units of platinum.
Return to the beacon you've activated not long ago and continue with the mission. Remain on the main path until you get to a new beacon (first screenshot) and then choose a passageway located close to the cliff (second screenshot). Save your game and choose a good weapon from your arsenal before moving on.
The last location of the map will be guarded by a group of Blood Pack soldiers, as well as by a mini-boss - Salamul. Make sure to use a heavy weapon and your best powers against the boss and prevent him from moving too close. Using the terminal (second screenshot) after the battle will allow you to end this mission. Notice that you've been automatically given a new assignment from this group - N7: Blood Pack Base.
