Background

You'll receive this assignment after completing the Hammerhead assignment Volcano Station.


Walkthrough

From the mission briefing, you'll learn that Cerberus has analyzed the data from the volcano research station, and they've learned that Dr. Cayce was last working at a dig site on the moon Kopis (Hoplos / Hades Nexus). You'll then be asked to travel to the moon and see what Dr. Cayce was up to.

When you land on Kopis, you'll find a kinetic barrier surrounding the dig site. Your missiles won't have any effect the barrier, so the Hammerhead VI will suggest that you cut the barrier's power supply. To do this, you'll need to destroy the four nearby power generators. They'll be connected to the barrier by glowing blue power lines, so they should be easy to spot.

To complicate matters slightly, you'll have to deal with numerous rocket drones in the area. Luckily, unlike your missiles, the rockets from the rocket drones won't be able to track you, and so as long as you keep moving back and forth, you should be able to destroy the drones without taking any damage in return.

Once you've disabled the barrier, when you fly the Hammerhead into the Dig Site, you'll be allowed to disembark and continue on foot. Inside the Dig Site, you'll learn Dr. O'Loy struck a deal with the Collectors to distribute a Prothean Relic, and that he and Dr. Cayce are now presumably dead. When you reach the Relic itself (it will become accessible after you've hacked the computer in the Lab), you won't have to make a decision about what to do with it. The assignment will simply end, and you'll be returned to the Normandy.
