Background

You'll receive this mission immediately after completing the mission on Horizon.


Walkthrough

When you talk to Miranda (in her office on board the Normandy), you'll learn that she has a twin sister named Oriana, and that her father would like to use Oriana much in the same way that he tried to use Miranda before she escaped to Cerberus. Miranda will then reveal that she hid her sister on Illium (Tasale / Crescent Nebula), but that her father has tracked her down there, and so she'll ask you to be there when Cerberus attempts to move her to safety.

Miranda's contact on Illium is an asari named Lanteia. You'll find her in the back of the Eternity Bar. When you talk to Lanteia, you'll learn that Miranda's father has hired Eclipse mercenaries to capture Oriana. You'll then decide that the best course of action is for you and Miranda to distract the mercenaries while a "trusted source" named Niket escorts Oriana to safety.

Predictably, right after the conversation, some Eclipse mercenaries will begin following you, and you'll land in the Transfer Station to duke it out with them. The merc leader will try to get you to walk away -- mentioning, among other things, that he knows about Niket, and that Miranda kidnapped Oriana -- but no matter what you say to him (or do to him, if you take advantage of the renegade interrupt), it will come down to a fight.

After the battle, Miranda will elaborate on the situation -- Oriana is her genetic twin, and she "rescued" her when she was a baby -- and then you'll decide that you should cut through the Processing Yard so you can catch up with Niket and Oriana and make sure that they're okay.

When you finally reach the Transport Terminal, you'll find Niket and Captain Enyala of the Eclipse mercenaries there. Niket will try to explain his actions -- "You weren't saving her! You were getting back at your father!" -- but Miranda won't want to hear it, and Niket will end up dead (if you use the paragon interrupt to prevent Miranda from murdering him, then Enyala will shoot him in the back). You'll then have to fight Enyala and the remaining Eclipse mercenaries in one final battle.

Note: Near the exit from the Transport Terminal, you'll find a trinket. Picking it up will trigger the assignment "Lost Locket Found." When you then return the trinket to the asari near the entrance to Illium, you'll receive +5 paragon points, 500 credits, and 40 xp.

After finishing off the Eclipse mercenaries, when you reach the Shuttle, you'll find Oriana safe and sound. You can encourage Miranda to talk to her if you want, but this won't result in any morality points. Either way, Miranda will become loyal, and she'll gain the Slam power.

Note: After completing Miranda's and Jack's loyalty missions, the two will square off on board the Normandy. If you have enough renegade or paragon points (something over 80% should be enough), then you'll be able to diffuse the situation, and keep both characters loyal. If you have to choose between them, then you'll lose the loyalty of the woman you don't pick, plus lose any chance of a romance with her (if you're male). However, the character you don't pick will keep her extra power and outfit, and you'll later be able to talk to her and regain her loyalty if you can get your renegade / paragon points high enough.
