A Cerberus operative has gone missing and is believed to be a prisoner in an Eclipse base on Lorek. The operative has sensitive data that would be harmful to Cerberus if it found its ways into Eclipse or Alliance hands.
This message appears in your private terminal once the Normandy is acquired.
Rescuing the Operative
[001]
When you arrive on the tropical planet Lorek, the shuttle drops you off directly outside a potential Eclipse base of operations [001] .
Pick up the refined platinum from the crate behind the containers near the landing zone and then enter the base via the door to the right.

Recovering the Stolen Data
[002]
[003]
This is no potential Eclipse base. The base is crawling with mercs. The main room of the base is quickly overrun by troopers and vanguards. Immediately take cover behind the crates or on either side of the door and systematically cut down the mercs [002] .
The first push comes through the door in the back of the room, so primarily target that area right now.
Use biotics or tech attacks to soften the mercs. Since these are organic targets, cryo, incendiary, or shredder ammo is especially useful.
After cutting down the first batch of Eclipse foes, inch your way into the room. More mercs may arrive [003] . After cleaning out the main room of the base, venture into the back room to empty a wall safe with 3,750 credits and pick up a medi-gel.

Once you have the credits and medi-gel access the terminal that controls the holding cells. Bypass the security on the terminal to unlock the door on the left side of the room, which leads to the prisoner.
You can also check the security console for some logs to read.
[004]
[005]
Unlocking the cells triggers the next wave of Eclipse mercs [004] . Troopers file into the room from the back corner. Dive behind a crate or use a pillar for cover and shoot the mercs before they can get too far into the room.
You need to hold them back. When the flow thins, push into that half of the room, but watch the still-closed door against the left wall.
When you near the door two Eclipse thugs pop through it: a vanguard and the leader of the Eclipse at this base, Morl [005] .
Morl is a powerful engineer. Not only does he have Barrier as well as armor to protect him, but he will also deploy combat drones to keep you busy while the troopers attempt to spread into the room and flank.
Morl will keep refreshing his barrier if you do not take him down with an unwavering series of attacks. Direct the entire squad to target him so that when his barrier falls, his armor goes next and eventually his health.
Then use the door in the corner of the room to locate another crate of platinum.

[006]
Use the door Morl came through to locate the Cerberus prisoner [006] . The door is easily bypassed by hacking through the symbols. The prisoner, sadly, has died.
The data extracted from his interrogation is on the computer console in the back of the room. Take the data. You can now upload the data to Cerberus, keep it for yourself, or send it to the Alliance.
If you send it to Cerberus, you receive a 10 percent credits bonus. The assignment is now complete, and there are no immediate effects no matter who you
