Precious Cargo

Mission Type: Heleus Assignment: Kadara

Prerequisite: Complete Heleus Assignment: Kadara, “A People Divided”

Start Location: Kadara Slums

Unlocking: Talk to Reyes Vidal

Meet Reyes at the Kadara Slums

Kadara Slums Bar

Speak to Reyes (1) at his office on the second floor of the Kadara Slums bar. A rival smuggler named Zia Cordier has stolen cargo from Reyes Vidal. Hoping to retrieve the cargo before his client discovers it’s missing, Reyes asked you to help him locate Zia. Meet him at Kralla’s Song.

Meet Reyes at Kralla’s Song

Kadara Port: Kralla’s Song (Bar)

Head up to Kadara Port using the lift (2) and enter Kralla’s Song (3). Go downstairs to find Reyes talking to the asari bartender, Umi Henon. Reyes asks Umi if she’s seen Zia Cordier. She responds, “You mean your ex? She was here.” You can press for a lot of information here (prying into Reyes’ life). Umi also tells you that she and a salarian were planning to meet someone at Spirit’s Ledge. Reyes suggests you follow the meeting spot clue and he’ll follow the Collective lead.

Go to the Meeting Spot at Spirit’s Ledge

Kadara

Use the terminal (2) at the docks to get to the slums, then jump over the warden’s gate (4) to enter Kadara. Take the Nomad east on the pathway and enter Spirit’s Ledge—the most southeastern corner of Kadara. Climb a steep trail up to a plateau to reach the navpoint.

Search for Signs of Zia’s Meeting

Jump out of the Nomad and defeat the wildlife that may attack in this area. Scan the ground around the litter to find an underground wire. This leads you to a Rylkor and a console (a laptop on the ground). Activate the console.

Examine Dead Drop

Activating the laptop doesn’t seem to make anything happen. Follow the navpoint back the way you came, to what looks like a blocked cave entrance. Examine the datapad in this cave hole. You tell Reyes over comms that you have a navpoint. He says it must be where Zia’s holding the cargo. He also informs you that the salarian is a fence. No direct connection to the Collective.

Meet Reyes at the Navpoint

Haarfel

Follow the navpoint (6) to Haarfel in the Nomad, or fast travel to the Haarfel Forward Station if it’s currently active. Head to the navpoint, and as you ride up on the outpost, you see a dropship, which means Zia and the buyer could be inside and ready to bolt.

Find Reyes inside the building under the stairs on the first floor. He says the place is empty. You can reply, “We were too late” or “This is a setup.”

Zia Cordier—Reyes’ ex—walks in. She knew you would figure it out eventually. She sics her guys on the two of you.

Defeat the Smugglers

Whip out the guns and take out the Sharpshooter, then work on the Raiders, including Zia Cordier. The quest is complete once you’ve annihilated everyone in the room. You earn a good amount of AVP and +5% Kadara Viability. You also win a cryo pod point, and you get to raid all the containers around the place.
