Description: You will have a chance to start this mission after completing another assignment from this group - N7: MSV Strontium Mule. Use one of your personal terminals to read an e-mail from the Cerberus organization. You may now open the galaxy map and travel to Sigurd's Cradle. Use a fuel depot found in the Skepsis system and fly to a nearby Decoris system.

After you've reached Decoris system find a planet named Sanctum and confirm that you want to scan its surface. Keep holding the right mouse button and move the mouse until the transmission heard in the background will be very clear. A white dot should appear on the surface and you must click the left mouse button to send a probe there. Begin landing procedures and wait for the shuttle to transport you to [Sanctum - Blue Suns base]. Get ready, because you'll soon take part in your first battle of the mission.

You must act quickly, because it'll take only a few seconds for enemy units (namely Blue Suns soldiers) to show up. Don't move too far ahead and notice that enemy forces will occupy higher ground, so you must find a good cover for you and your team. Start attacking Blue Suns units and focus on eliminating heavy soldiers, because they'll be using rocket launchers. Several groups will show up here, so don't leave cover unless you know it's safe.

Spend some time exploring the area after the battle - you'll find first (out of five) canister which holds 400 units of iridium (first screenshot). You may now proceed towards a passageway which was being used by enemy units. Look around to find a datapad with an interesting recording. An attempt of opening the door will result in your team being transported underground.

Take cover near the balustrade as soon as you've arrived in the warehouse. As you've probably noticed, the balustrade offers only a partial protection, but it'll have to do the job. Keep attacking enemy soldiers and don't forget to focus your efforts on killing a mini-boss - Blue Suns leader. It would be a good idea to use a heavy weapon or good biotic powers on him.

I wouldn't recommend leaving this area until you're sure that you've managed to kill all enemy units, because otherwise you would be an easy target. You can find a terminal on the wall. Check a nearby passageway (first screenshot) which leads to a small warehouse. There's a datapad there and a safe with 1875 credits.

Return to the main hall and this time choose a passageway located to your left (first screenshot). I would recommend that you quickly take cover in the next room (near the ramp or on a balcony). Wait for Blue Suns soldiers to show up and attack them. Thankfully it's going to be a smaller group and it won't have a leader.

You won't find any interesting items in this room so you may proceed to the next area right away via a large hole in the wall (first screenshot). It would be a good idea to explore this entire cave thoroughly, because you'll come across four remaining containers and opening all of them will result in gathering a total of 1600 units of iridium. Aside from collecting the minerals you can also find power cells and listen to a recording left on a datapad.

Save your game, choose a heavy weapon from your inventory and proceed towards the only available door (first screenshot). Once you're inside a big warehouse order your followers to take cover, make a few steps forward and wait for two YMIR mechs to show up in the area.

During the battle with the machines you should be using your heavy weapon and it would also be a good idea to rely on technological powers (especially Overload) to damage their armor or shields. There are a lot of explosive crates in the area and you shouldn't forget about blowing them up. Destroying the mechs won't end the battle, because Blue Suns soldiers will show up.

Make sure that your team is taking cover and attacking enemy units at the same time. Start shooting at the Blue Suns units. Enemy forces will be controlled by a mini-boss - Captain Narom. Kill him quickly using a heavy weapon or good biotic powers. Keep fighting until it's safe and then look around. Destroying one of the nearby crates (second screenshot) will allow you to gain access to a platform with a med kit.

Proceed to the other end of the hall. It would be a good idea to explore two side rooms first. There's a computer with three stored messages in one of these rooms and the other one contains a safe (1875 credits). Approach the main door (second screenshot), solve a mini-game and interact with a console found inside a new room to end this mission.
