Before heading off to Sur'Kesh, Fail Shep pays a visit to the Citadel, where he does the following:
- Forces customs to accept more refugees than the Citadel is capable of supporting.
- Overhears a conversation between the asari huntress Aeian T'Goni and a psychiatrist. In this conversation, T'Goni tearfully reminisces about how she had to kill a little girl she was trying to protect so she wouldn't be killed by the Reapers. T'Goni wants to have a gun because she believes that if she had her gun with her when she was running from the Reapers, she could have saved the girl.
- Fail Shep uses his Spectre authority to allow T'Goni to have a gun. She proceeds to use it to kill herself.
Also, I forgot to mention this before, but when Fail Shep was leaving the Citadel to go to Palaven, he met up with Khalisah again. When she asked him skewed questions yet again, he tried to punch her, only for her to beat him up instead.
On to the peace conference. Turns out that Wrex is now leader of all krogan and he refuses to help the turians unless they cure the genophage. Wrex has learned of Maelon's experiments and a mole within the Salarian STG has told him that Maelon actually managed to successfully cure a few females of the genophage. These females were abducted by the STG after Mordin's loyalty mission and Wrex wants them back. Dalatrass Linron, the leader of the Salarian Union, refuses, but Fail Shep uses his Spectre authority to force her to reveal the location of the lab where the females are being kept.
Fail Shep and Wrex head to the laboratory on the salarian homeworld of Sur'kesh. During the trip, Wrex tells Shepard that he knows that the Spectre destroyed the data on Maelon's cure and so they are no longer BF Fs.
There's a small hicup when Linron "forgets" to tell the lab's security to expect guests, but a scientist salarian named Padok Wiks resolves things peacefully. Wiks takes Fail Shep into the labs and reveals that he is Wrex's mole. Wiks believes that evolution is some sort of cosmic force and that the salarians had no right to tamper with it through the genophage.
Sadly, Maelon's cure weakens the krogan immune system, so only one female (henceforth called Eve) is still alive. Right after Fail Shep meets Eve, Cerberus attacks the facility. Wiks loads Eve into a cargo elevator so she can be safely extracted from the facility. Fail Shep goes from floor to floor to authorize the cargo elavator to move further up while Wrex kicks STEEEEVE!!!1 out of the pilot's seat so he can cause mayhem with the shuttle.
After a load of fighting, Eve is rescued and brought aboard the Normandy, where Wiks studies her DNA to create a new genophage cure.
On a tragic note, Fail Shep receives an email notifying him that Rana Thanoptis, the asari scientist he spared on Virmire and encountered again on Korlus, was indoctrinated and committed suicide after being arrested for murdering several high ranking asari officials. There's no EMS penalty though.
Wiks' personality in a nutshell: "Evolution is part of a divine plan, therefore genetic engineering is wrong." He's not annoying about it though and he's well voice acted. I'm actually considering killing Mordin off back in ME2 in a non-Fail playthrough just to see more of him.
