Acquisition Edit

You acquire this mission automatically at the beginning of the game.

Walkthrough Edit

After a series of cut-scenes and dialogue with opportunities for morality points you enter the training stage of the prologue.

Anderson will give you an M-3 Predator.

Follow Anderson across the rooftops following the on-screen prompts. Note that not following the prompts as stated (like taking cover) will result in subsequent events not triggering, so treat this mission like the tutorial that it is. Look below and you will notice a child running towards the shelter of a building.

Eventually, you'll reach a point where you will see husks climbing up a far wall. Anderson will claim he has run out of ammo and climb down the ladder to the right.

Follow him down, and jump to the next building. You will need to use up all of your ammo too, to trigger the next event. Here, you will need to fight the husks in melee. Once you have killed the last husk, the Reaper that looms above you during your escapade will fire its laser at the building directly adjacent to you.

You can walk into the destroyed building after the short cutscene. Make sure to pick up the Medi-gel in the first room before you continue.

The next door holds a surprise and a cutscene with a chance for morality points. It's the boy from earlier, and whatever you decide for him, he'll be gone.

Reload your weapon after another lengthy cutscene, and continue along until you get to two Alliance soldiers. When you get close enough, they will tell you to be wary of enemies further ahead.

This will be your first engagement against Cannibals. Note that you can now allocate squad points to Anderson. Be sure to do this, it will make the coming fights easier. Take to cover and kill all hostiles before talking to the soldiers once more.

Cross the bridge to pick up a second med-kit, and then fight off the next wave of Cannibals around the corner. There's lots of cover here, so use it wisely. Continue ahead and pick up the M-8 Avenger right in front of the radio you were seeking. Activate the radio and fight off a third wave of Cannibals. After you run out of ammo or kill all the waves, the Normandy SR-2 will arrive.

Say goodbye to Anderson, witness a moving scene (the kid trying to board a Kodiak then said shuttle gets blown to bits by a Destroyer), then embark on your journey to save the galaxy.

Admiral Hackett will then send you to your next mission.

Enemies Edit

• Cannibal
• Husk

Trivia Edit

• After kicking around several cities about where Mass Effect 3 should open, Vancouver was eventually chosen because it is a Canadian city, BioWare is a Canadian company and it had just finished the 2010 Winter Olympics. The style of the city was designed to reflect hope and included several major known Vancouver Landmarks.^[1]
• During the mission, Ashley Williams or Kaidan Alenko can be heard over the radio commenting on the imminent destruction of an Alliance dreadnought as it confronts a Reaper. The ship's destruction is witnessed by the player, but the model of ship shown is actually an Alliance cruiser. According to BioWare, by the time the mistake was realized, it was too late to re-record Ashley and Kaidan's dialogue or replace the ship in the scene.^[2]
