Mass Effect Hints
Missing Engineers
1 of 7: Start by going to the transmission tower that's marked with an "X" symbol on your area map.
2 of 7: It's at the top of a mountain, so it can be tricky navigating your way up there. Try starting in a spot a ways south of the tower, and making your way up to it from there.
3 of 7: Park the Mako near the transmitter tower, then get out and repair the tower by playing a Decryption Minigame or spending some omni-gel.
4 of 7: That'll get three survey stations marked on the area map. You can visit each station in whatever order you want to, but in these hints, I'll put them in 1 to 3 order.
5 of 7: Go to survey station 1, then look for a secure crate to raid outside the shelter.
6 of 7: Inside the shelter is an aid station, plus the body of C. Hymes near a computer log.
7 of 7: Examine the body to get the "Found Body of Hymes" objective, and to get this assignment renamed to "X57: Two Missing Engineers."
