How can I get this assignment?

  • 1 of 4: First, you must complete one of the following three game sections: Finding Liara T'Soni, Noveria, Feros.
  • 2 of 4: Also, your character's pre-service history has to be colonist. If it's not, you can't get this assignment, and will have to go after one of the other two background-related assignments.
  • 3 of 4: Return to the Citadel and ride the docking bay elevator up to the C-Sec academy area.
  • 4 of 4: When you exit the elevator, you'll get a radio transmission that'll give you the "Report to Girard" objective.
