UNC: Lost Module

From Mass Effect Wiki

When Commander Shepard enters the Hercules system, Admiral Hackett informs the Commander that an Alliance probe was lost somewhere in the region. It was gathering intelligence on Geth activities in the region, and the Geth are also looking for it. The Alliance needs Commander Shepard to find the probe and recover its data module.

[edit] Finding the module

The Commander finds the downed probe on the planet Eletania, but the local simian lifeforms have stolen the probe's data module. Commander Shepard is then forced to search the colonies of the monkey-like creatures until coming to an abandoned mine. Inside the mine, Shepard finds the monkey that stole the data module and retrieves it*. A local Geth force, also searching for the data module, followed the Commander into the mine, however. Before returning the data module to Alliance command, Shepard must fight through them. Using search to find the module will award paragon points, while killing the creatures will give you renegade points.

• It is possible to get an unlimited amount of paragon points by searching the monkey holding the datapad and then saving the game. After reloading, another search of that monkey will result in the Paragon point reward being reissued to the player, despite it already being claimed before the reload. This results in a potentially limitless supply of Paragon points.
