This Mission involves several long strings of battles which make it impossible to save. These can be frustrating, so be careful. A lot of the cover angles are pretty bad as well. You'll fight a lot of mechs in addition to Eclipse troops here. Powers like Warp and Overload are useful, and AI Hacking can be great for causing a distraction.

Once you make it to the elevator, you'll have to take out two engineers and a Krogan Bounty Hunter. Don't miss the datapad near the elevator exit when you arrive on the upper floors, as it triggers an assignment.
