Talk to Mordin, he should offer a quest. If not, then very soon. Jacob isn’t talking, still, and the viper sniper rifle should already be on Garrus, but you can double-check at the locker. With the addition of Thane, you can tell you’re close to getting there with Miss Kelly.
Level 4, Grunt talks a little for once. Jack goes on a rant and offers a quest (not sure if you can deny it if you wanted to). Return to Illium.
If you didn’t resolve Conrad’s quest, or didn’t visit the shops, or didn’t do any of the quests in the shopping areas, do so now.
The Observer
Return to Liara T’Soni for the continuation of her quest. Just ask her about her work, and you can do this now or in the next mission.
There are 5 terminals near this area that have bits of info on who to kill. Opening each allows you to view all the info you’ve unlocked. You don’t need to call Liara until you’ve found all five.
The first terminal is right downstairs. Two others are at the nearby kiosks. A fourth is across near the stairs to Eternity. The final one is inside Eternity, near the bar.
If you don’t figure it out, just select the “no one” option after finding all five. This is the correct way to go. Return to Liara to have a recap and a nice reward.

*NOTE: If a sniper, consider grabbing the Assassin first to get a new sniper rifle.*
On the left inside the Eternity Bar, speak to Lanteia and tell her you’re ready to move out. Again, Mordin is good, but anyone else is fine.
DO NOT miss the renegade action while speaking with the upcoming leader; pretty sure it’s one less enemy to face, or he just gets replaced. Either way, just kill the engineers and avoid their drones. Cut up to the corner, kill two more, and then at the elevator you have a brief chat.
To the right is a quick hack inside the container. Head up to the conveyor belt and take cover. Be ready to overload any drones and again, take out the engineers. Clear it and then go right and grab the gel and SMG upgrade.
At the next area, kill your side of the gap, then keep up the work on the drones and engineers as you clear your way to the left. Scan the dead body for a gel upgrade, and you can hack a machine inside the room. Come back out and go left, may be two guys, then clear your way to the next combat spot. Same deal here. Across the gap is a body to hack and a computer to open to the left at the corner.
One more group of badies at the elevator. These guys hit hard, so just work fast or they could overwhelm you. Clear it, grab the power cells on the right, gel by the door, and take it. Brief chat, which continues into the final fight area. There is a paragon action to take, but I think missing it doesn’t make a huge impact.
Once you are in combat, switch to your beam gun (or whatever heavy gun you have) and take out the boss first; she should be on the left side. The goons are the harder part, but they can be taken out slowly. Gel on the right side, then hit the upper left corner for creds and a trinket for a side quest.
At the resolution cutscene, one of the few times it pays to go paragon (at least in some way).
*NOTE: With her loyalty, which is the first we’ve gotten, you can purchase a prototype research on the ship to allow you to learn one of Miranda’s moves. Her’s is the slam, but for others it’s the power that opens up once they are loyal, and with Element Zero you too can have that power – but you can only have one, and if starting a second game, you should already have one.*
