Loyalty Missions

Miranda: The Prodigal

If you've had some one-on-one conversation with Miranda at one point or another, she should have told you about her overbearing psychopath of a father. Well, now her past has finally caught up with her, and she desperately beseeches your help. Her contact Lanteia is on Illium at the Eternity Bar. When you speak with her, she notifies you of the plan to get Oriana to safety. After the conversation, you must choose your third crew member since Miranda will (obviously) be a mainstay for this mission. We recommend bringing someone like Garrus to round out your squad.

A welcoming party at the warehouse takes an aggressive approach at first, but stays their ground in the hope of a peaceful negotiation. The merc leader's proposition seems to leave Miranda with the short end of the stick, so all forms of diplomacy goes up in flames if you act on the Renegade interrupt action. We suggest you take this even unless you're completely against any form of Renegade action, as it makes the subsequent battle go a lot smoother.

The drones and troopers will drop like flies against Miranda's Biotics, but the other enemies may need a little more than a few shots. Work your way through to the elevator in the back of the warehouse. Miranda has been withholding some details and fills you in on the missing parts. Shepard voices his concerns about Niket's reliability, but Miranda's unwavering trust for her long-time friend mutes any of his suspicions.

The elevator drops your team off at the shipping yard. There's a PDA to be hacked in the container just outside the elevator. Ingress further to trigger the appearance of a half-dozen or so Eclipse enemies on the other side of the conveyor belt. A few explosive containers sprinkled in close proximity will ease the weight of this battle. Also recall Miranda's comment about explosive materials being transported by the conveyor belts and use them to your advantage. If you're low on thermal clips, be sure to rummage through the places they've fallen for extra clips. Continue on to find a Medi-Gel, the Microfield Pulsar upgrade and some credits from a locker.

Captain Enyala's barking sends more mercs swarming the scene, but she should know by now that no number of bad guys can slow Shepard and his team down. Locate the security terminal in the opened container to the right to glean a few credits. Scan the downed soldier as well for an upgrade to increase your Medi-Gel-carrying capacity. The next area features the standard enemy fare, but be sure to give a thorough search through the opened containers here for refined Element Zero as well as some easy credits from the PDA and the security terminal on the wall. The path to the next elevator door becomes riddled with the likes of Vanguards, who are much more aggressive and protected than their peers. If needed, there is a Medi-Gel station right next to the elevator and some power cells near it.

Things turn out in ways Miranda had never imagined. Overcome with the feeling of betrayal, Miranda turns her pistol on her most trusted friend. You can pull the Paragon interrupt to prevent her from having this on her conscience, but it seems fate won't give Niket a second chance. Now is the time to deal with Enyala.

Enyala is not alone. She has her whole cavalry at her beck and call, but some of them can be dispatched almost immediately by shooting the cargo of explosives moving overhead. Enyala is sporting a barrier and armor protection combo, so expect her to absorb quite a bit of firepower before taking the real damage. You must kill off all the enemies within the area to advance the storyline. Scope out the area once the battle is over to find credits from the security terminal and a locket lying atop a crate nearby. This locket belongs to an Asari near the entrance to the trading floor back on Nos Astra. Board the elevator to watch the rest of the cutscenes and conclude this mission. You've now unlocked Miranda's Slam biotic and a new outfit for her.
