Acquisition Edit

Can you still get this mission if you don't clear Gabby and Ken to return to the Normandy? Optimystic8 02:34, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Adams won't give me the quest. why?--AdmiralPedro1stFleet 22:46, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

It may be random, or it may be bugged - for me, I got offered the mission the first time I returned to the Normandy from the Citadel (directly after pardoning them) - your PA tells you something like "Engineer Adams wants to see you in Engineering". I reloaded a game back on the Citadel, however, because I'd forgotten to do a bunch of things, and (so far, at least) it hasn't triggered again. 124.170.33.125 01:24, March 11, 2012 (UTC)

I don't think the acquisition rules are quite correct. I did Sur'Kesh and then Attican Traverse (Rachni), Citadel Krogan Dying, Apien Crest. It wasn't active there. But then right after N7: Cerberus Abductions it became active. I had Chakwas on board, and IIRC Adams returned back to engineering after Attican Traverse, but the mission wasn't available. Maybe it's two combat missions after Sur'Kesh? Ea-41905502 22:20, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

Fault in the acquisition section Edit

Completing Priority: Tuchanka is not needed for the acquisition of this mission since Adams returns to his station as soon as Mordin announces that the cure is ready and suggests to use the Shroud. Dr. Chakwas remains in the crew quarters until the completion of Priority: Tuchanka but that fact has no effect on this mission --NisansaDdS 18:51, May 8, 2012 (UTC)

Question: If you purchase the thermal cooling unit from the Normandy Shuttle Bay are you still awarded the experience and War Asset? I just purchased it from the Normandy's procurement interface and then went directly to Adams in Engineering. He told me that the installation had been a success and said that he, Ken, and Gabby had also discovered information that they could pass on to the Crucible project. After he finished speaking, I was awarded +5 Reputation, but no experience and no War Asset (I double checked the War Asset Terminal to be sure). Will I get these later on, or is there a penalty for acquiring the item the "easy way"? If it's the latter, perhaps it should be noted in the guide. Thanks. 24.29.229.27 01:01, June 7, 2012 (UTC)

I was unable to acquire this mission until I pardoned Gabby and Donnelly. Can anyone confirm that? I used the ((fact)) (^{[citation needed]}} format because I couldn't find a verification needed tag for this wiki. --Buffylvr (talk) 16:16, March 24, 2013 (UTC)

I got the mission without pardoning the engineers. However, much later than some of the missions being mentioned here. Sur'kesh? Bomb? No, Traynor sent me down to see Adams regarding the pipe in the section of the story a little after the Cerberus attack on the Citadel. I believe I was in orbit around the missions on Rannoch at the time. Segojan Earthcaller (talk) 11:15, March 30, 2013 (UTC)
