Citadel: Asari Consort

From Mass Effect Wiki

A turian general, Septimus, is spreading lies about Sha'ira, the famous Asari Consort. She wishes you to talk to him and convince him to stop.

[edit] Acquisition

Visit the Consort's Chambers on the Presidium. Sha'ira will ask to see you. She and her friend Septimus have had a falling-out and she needs you to speak to him on her behalf.

[edit] Walkthrough

Head down to Chora's Den in the Wards and speak to Septimus. He is smitten with Sha'ira, but they're no longer together. Go through the dialogue, choosing the obviously correct options. If you give up, this finishes the assignment but you will no longer be welcome at the Consort's Chambers.

• The Charm (skill level 4 (or less?)) and Intimidate options here (skill level 5 (or less?)) do not result in any Paragon or Renegade points.

Eventually Septimus will give in and agree to start acting like more of a general. He will also ask you to clear Sha'ira's name with an elcor diplomat in the Embassies. Simply talk to the elcor, Xeltan, at the elcor-volus embassy, to complete Citadel: Xeltan's Complaint, then return to Sha'ira to complete the assignment.

Sha'ira will reward you with credits, XP, and 'a gift of words' that differs according to your chosen pre-service history and psych profile.

• During the conversation, choose "Glad to help." for 2 Paragon points, or "Let's talk Payment." for 2 Renegade points. Choosing "No problem." results in no morality points.
• Choose "That's it?" at the end of the conversation to have a sexual encounter with her. This does not result in any morality points either way.

If you completed Citadel: Xeltan's Complaint before coming to her, she will give you a bonus reward, a trinket that can be used on Eletania, a planet in the Hercules system of the Attican Beta cluster. Use the trinket when checking out the anomaly at the ruins, to unlock a short story about Protheans studying cavemen.

• NOTE: You must complete Citadel: Xeltan's Complaint before coming to her, otherwise her door will be locked and you won't get the trinket.
