of an ambassador from the Batarian Hegemony, Jath'Amon, who is due to meet the Citadel Council for peace talks. Izunami asks Jacob to investigate the batarians in the Terminus Systems. When Jacob arrives at the Nemean Abyss to meet an informant named Miranda Lawson, he is forced to deal with human pirates who have taken over a local space station. Once he has dealt with the pirate leader "Black Eye" Clint Darragh, Miranda offers to cooperate with Jacob and gives him three leads to investigate: a turian arms smuggler named Illo Nazario who is hiding on Tortuga; the raising of a batarian army on the planet Bekke, which is a departure from their conventional tactics of forming small terrorist cells; and reports of human doctors and scientists being kidnapped by the batarians and being taken to the Ahn'Kedar Orbital Platform. Jacob discovers a large stash of Element Zero on Bekke, rescues the asari scientist Batha with the help of a krogan mercenary named Nax at Ahn'Kedar, and infiltrates Illo's base using a passcode given by Ish, a salarian contact of Miranda's.
