How to Begin¶

You’ll first have to meet the council with Ambassador Udina before this Assignment becomes available. This Assignment plays a large part in the Scan the Keepers Assignment that you may have picked up in The Tower, speaking to Chorban. To get the full outcome of this, you’ll want to complete that task first before going to speak to Jahleed.

Regardless of the path you choose to take, make your way to the C-Sec Offices via Citadel Rapid Transit or by heading below the Embassy on the Presidium. Once you arrive, head to the offices on the west side and you’ll spot Jahleed speaking to a C-Sec Officer. Upon eavesdropping on the duo, head on over and speak to Jahleed. Speaking with him, you learn he suspects his friend is trying to kill him and asks if you can meet with him, agree to begin the Assignment.

Talk to Chorban¶

Jahleed has informed you that you can find Chorban down in the markets on the Wards, more specifically, the Lower Markets in the Lower Wards. This is the point of the Assignment where the paths begin to diverge so be sure to make a save before speaking to Chorban.

First time meeting Chorban¶

If this is your first time Meeting Chorban (you didn’t accept or complete Scan the Keepers), he’ll immediately pull a gun on you, asking to see the data. There’s nothing you can say here to prevent a firefight however it’s a rather simple one, despite the two bodyguards joining in the action. Take note of the explosives nearby, firing at them should any of your enemies approach them. Be sure to take cover behind the stalls, and focus your attention on Chorban, once he sustains enough damage, he’ll surrender.
