Meeting the Jondum Bau Salarian Spectre

Received from: Jondum Bau [Citadel: Citadel Embassies]

Unlocked by: You will be able to approach this mission after completing Priority: Palaven.

You will learn of this mission after reading a message using the terminal on board the Normandy. Its sender, the Salarian Spectre Jondum Bau can be found by the entrance to Commander Bailey's office in [Citadel: Citadel Embassies]. Speak to him and you will learn that Jondum needs help in investigating the activity of a certain Hanar official. Jondum fears that he might be indoctrinated by the Reapers.

Conducting an investigation

Start off by heading to the Spectre Terminal found right of here and using it. Read the Hanar Embassy Tracking message and afterwards Activate it to start tracing the data.

Return to the elevator. The first terminal you can check can be found to the left of it (screen above). Interact with it to bypass the security and listen to a conversation with Jondum.

Use the elevator and head to [Citadel: Port - Holding Area]. The second terminal can be found soon after getting out of the lift. Listen to the conversation and continue the search.

Stay at [Citadel: Port - Holding Area] and head to the western-most area, i.e. Bay E28. Search for the next terminal and bypass its security. In the end return to the second terminal located by the elevator and interact with it once again. Listen to Jondum's request to meet with you.

Confronting an indoctrinated diplomat

Use the elevator and head to [Citadel: Citadel Embassies]. Find Jondum to the left of the entrance and speak to him to initiate a cutscene with the indoctrinated diplomat. Further on in the conversation there will be a fight and you will be able to act in two main ways. If you want to fulfill Jondum's request (paragon), do nothing and let Shepard stop the virus from being sent.

If on the other hand you prefer to ignore Jondum's request, you need to help him get out of oppressions by choosing the special renegade option (left mouse button). Doing so will save Jondum's life, but will also doom the Hanar.

Notice! There's also a third option, but it's available only if you have recruited Kasumi in one of the previous games. In such case you can rush to the terminal at once to stop the virus and ignore the renegade option, as Kasumi will save Jondum's life.

Prizes for completing the mission:

1. [210 EXP]
2. War asset [Hanar and Drell Forces]
3. War asset [Spectre Unit]
