Background

If you have the Zaeed DLC installed, then Zaeed will give you this mission when you recruit him on Omega (Sahrabarik / Omega Nebula).


Walkthrough

Zaeed will tell you that before being hired by Cerberus, he agreed to liberate a refinery on the planet Zorya (Faia / Ismar Frontier) from Blue Suns mercenaries. When you arrive on the planet, Zaeed will tap into the Blue Suns radio feed, which will allow you to hear their radio chatter. Then you'll just need to follow the path for a while until you reach the refinery. You'll know you're getting close (to the refinery and enemies) when you finally encounter objects that you can hide behind.

When you reach the Bridge, you'll learn that Zaeed helped found the Blue Suns 20 years ago, and that he was kicked out of the gang (complete with a shot to the head, which might explain his scar) by Vido Santiago, who he'd now like to kill. When you reach the Gatehouse, you'll discover just how determined Zaeed is, as he'll seem perfectly capable of destroying the entire refinery and everyone in it as long as Vido dies, too.

When you reach the Refinery Exterior, you'll encounter a worker fleeing from the refinery. He'll tell you that the refinery is about to explode, and that some of the workers are still trapped inside. You'll then have to make a decision: to save the workers or to pursue Vido. Zaeed will obviously prefer the latter, but the choice will be yours.

Paragon

If you choose the paragon path, then you'll gain +15 paragon points, and you'll enter the heart of the refinery. You'll only have one direction that you can go, and you won't encounter any enemies. You'll just need to activate three fuel controls and the fire extinguisher system, which will stop the explosions and save the workers.

Renegade

If you choose the renegade path, then you'll gain +15 renegade points, and you'll enter a part of the refinery under Blue Suns control. You'll only have one way that you can go, but you'll have to kill over a dozen mercenaries to get through it.

Stopping Vido

Regardless of the path you take, eventually you'll end up in the Refinery Interior, where you'll have to battle numerous Blue Suns mercenaries, plus a heavy mech, as you close in on Vido. You'll also have to deal with a pair of mechanized fuel tanks, which will shoot down fire onto the ground beneath them. The fuel tanks will probably burn your team way more than your enemies, and so you should try to shoot them down. If you can get them to drop on top of the Blue Suns mercenaries, then even better.

When you exit the refinery, one of two things will happen. If you followed the renegade path, then you'll catch up to Vido before he can reach his shuttle, and Zaeed will kill him. Zaeed will be happy with this result, and he'll become loyal. If you followed the paragon path, then Vido will escape in his shuttle, and Zaeed will be unhappy. You'll then need to pass a paragon check in order for Zaeed to become loyal.
