A survey ship with ties to Cerberus, called the MSV Rosalie, has disappeared somewhere near planet Zeona, in the Ismar Frontier.
As the team aboard the ship was testing a new prototype exploration rover named the Hammerhead, it is imperative that contact is re-established.
There are two doctors, Dr. Manuel Cayce and Dr. Robert O’Loy, aboard the MSV Rosalie. The ship, survey team, and doctors all must be recovered.
[001]
Plot a course to MSV Rosalie by locating the planet Zeona, starting the scanner, and launching a probe. Scan the planet’s surface until an anomaly is detected.
Only then can you land on the planet’s surface [001] , which proves to be inhospitable; deep fissures of lava and craggy rock formations dominate the volcanic landscape.
Part 1: Project Firewalker: Search for Data
[002]
Shepard inspects some fuselage and other wreckage on a rocky precipice and down below, on the lava flows.
As you reach a large cargo container [002] , a message plays from Dr. Cayce, describing an encounter with the geth; the team appears to have moved to a different location, and may still be alive.
Access the cargo computer control, bypassing the lock. The container opens, revealing the Hammerhead inside.
Traversing the Zeonan Landscape
[003]
Boost off the edge of the precipice, in the direction of the glowing blue tower of light [003] .
Your Hammerhead’s scanners have picked up research packages left by the crew of the MSV Rosalie.
The vehicle moves a little while scooping the data up; you may need to maneuver the Hammerhead slightly, so it doesn’t float off the circle.
If this occurs, collect again.
[004]
Hover over the yellow circle and “mine” it until the research is recovered [004] .
You receive a credits bonus for each package you pick up during this research-gathering mission.

Check for the second blue tower, using the vertical lift to reach the research on a curved rock ledge [005] .

At the top of the ledge is a section of fuselage, an obstruction that must be destroyed using your craft’s missiles [006] .
Then boost through the flaming wreckage.
[007]
Enter a gigantic canyon, but drop to ground level and look to the left [007] . The next research package is available at the foot of a giant fissure.

Continue along the left side of the canyon tunnel until it opens up, but remain on the left and use the vertical lift to ascend the stepping stones to the next package [008] .

Spin the craft around to look toward the sun. Use the natural rock ramp to boost from, landing on a large rock island [009] with a package inside the skeleton of a piece of fuselage.

Boost and vertically lift off the far end of the island to a smaller, lower island [010] with research to collect, and spin your craft to the right.

[011]
Boost across to a third island, and over to land close to a piece of flaming debris, on a ledge. Drive along the ledge to the final package [011] . At this point, your inspection of Zeona is complete. The Hammerhead docks with the Normandy.
