Loyalty Mission For Samara, Morinth
This is an interesting Mission that involves no combat. You'll have to do some investigating of Morinth's latest victim to begin with. Remember what you learn. Next you'll head to the VIP area of Afterlife and try to get Morinth to seduce you. Listen to what Samara tells you beforehand and you shouldn't have a problem.

Once in Morinth's apartment, don't miss the Assault Rifle Damage Upgrade. If you use Paragon or Renegade conversation options, you can prevent Morinth from seducing you. If you do, you will be given the choice whether to side with Morinth or Samara at the end of the Mission. Siding with Morinth is the only way to gain access to the Dominate Power (to access every loyalty Power, you would also have to finish the Mission by siding with Samara).

You earn an automatic resource reward for completing this Mission. This reward may change based on which Character you side with (siding with Morinth earned me 2,000 Iridium).
