UNC: Hostile Takeover

From Mass Effect Wiki

Helena Blake, a member of a criminal cartel, wants Commander Shepard to take care of her former business partners.

[edit] Acquisition

A Person of Interest, the first name given to this assignment in your journal, can be acquired by inspecting a computer console in the C-Sec academy (in the office next door to Chellick).

Or, once Shepard becomes a Spectre, Helena Blake will be near the Emporium in the Financial District, and call the commander over.

[edit] Walkthrough

When spoken to, Helena Blake will explain that she is a high ranking member of a criminal cartel and wants two crime bosses and their operations eliminated. They're red sand dealers who trade any defaulting customers to batarians as slaves, a business practice of which Blake disapproves. Once they're dead she will manage their organisation "more tastefully".

• If you choose "No. I won't do it." you get 8 Paragon points, but Blake will still give you the coordinates.
• If you choose "I'll do it." or "Not a problem." you get 2 Renegade points and the coordinates.

The crime bosses - who are not named - are located on two different planets. The first is found on the planet Mavigon of the Han system in the Gemini Sigma cluster. The second is on Klensal of the Dis system in the Hades Gamma cluster. Once the bases are cleared, head to the planet Amaranthine of the Fortuna system in the Horse Head Nebula to find Blake. She will thank you and assure you that the gang will now restrict itself to gambling and smuggling illegal technology, crimes that aren't worth your trouble.

You can choose to accept Helena Blake's reward, attempt to arrest her - in which case she and her mercenaries will attack you - or try (with a high Charm or Intimidate score) to convince Blake to disband her gang permanently and still receive 8 Paragon points that you would have received if you had said no from the start.
