Mass Effect 2 Guide Walkthrough N7 ASSIGNMENTS
N7: Imminent Ship Crash
The derelict MSV Broken Arrow is in a decaying orbit over the planet Jonus. The ship is loaded with munitions. If it is allowed to crash, the explosive impact is likely to destroy a human settlement.
Restore the engines to keep the ship from crashing—but beware of geth aboard the vessel. This assignment appears on your galaxy map as “Save Crashing Ship.”
Reactivating the Engines
[001]
When you board the MSV Broken Arrow [001] , the clock starts ticking. You have just six minutes to restore engine power before the ship’s decayed orbit can no longer be saved.
Check the captain’s log for some background. Now you must bypass the security on the door to enter the control room.
Bypassing does not stop the timer—you must hurry so as not to waste too much time just looking at symbols. Fighting the geth inside the ship will consume enough of the clock as it is.

[003]
Right away, geth troopers attack [002] . Stick to the door for cover and target the geth inside. If you have an engineer, use AI Hacking to turn the geth against each other.
Otherwise, stick to gunplay and biotics to take down the troopers. Once the geth are down, check the ship status at the console, then access the engine room emergency seal on the right side of the room to unlock the engine room [003] .
There is a medi-gel on the left wall of this room, just inside the door. A crate of iridium is farther up along the wall.

[004]
As soon as you enter the engine room, look to the left. There are two catwalks above the engine room. The geth take up attack positions here [004] . And they do not stop.
Troopers, snipers, rocket troopers—they just keep filing onto the catwalks to rain rounds and shells down on you while you attempt to restart the engines.
Fight your way into the room by returning fire, but soon you need to turn your attention to the engines.
When you have a free moment, pick up the crate of iridium on the floor of the engine room. Scan the room to spot it.

[005]
There are two power couplings [005] on the main floor of the engine room that you must turn back on. This is not as easy as flipping a switch.
You must hold your omni-tool over the control panel until the meter fills. If you are shot while accessing the panels, the process is interrupted. You must start over.
[006]
After activating both couplings, climb the stairs to the top of the engine room and access the engine control panel [006] . Bypass the panel to restart the engines and stop the ship from crashing into the planet below.
Even if there are still geth firing at you, starting up the engines is enough to end this mission in victory.
