Citadel: Planting a Bug

From Mass Effect Wiki

This assignment is obtained after speaking with Emily Wong a second time at the Citadel Tower outside the Council, and only if you completed her first request.

Emily asks you to plant a bug in the traffic control center of C-Sec.

• Alternate route (Paragon): Talk to Emily again immediately after accepting the bug. You can tell her that you have changed your mind (Charm dialogue) and follow with a claim that that the controllers may lose their jobs. You will give the bug back and complete the mission with 8 Paragon points, XP, and credits. This requires 4 ranks of Charm.
• Alternate route (Renegade): Instead of telling Emily you have changed your mind, Intimidate Emily to convince her you've already planted the bug. This gets you Renegade points and credits. This requires 5 ranks of Intimidate.

If you decide to plant the bug, go into the C-Sec Academy and plant it near the keeper that is in the control room up the stairs. Afterwards, go back to Emily Wong, and she will thank you and reward you; the story will be announced in news reports on elevator rides.

• Choosing "It's a good cause." nets you 2 Paragon points, XP, and credits.
• Choosing "You're welcome." nets you 2 Paragon points, XP, and credits.
• Choosing "This was the last time." gets you only the XP and credits, no Paragon points.
