Walkthrough

1
Make your way to Chora's Den. Be aware of a thug on top of the bar and a charging krogan bouncer. Use your abilities to debilitate the krogan.
2
After clearing the initial enemies, enter the back rooms. You will encounter two warehouse workers. If you have at least 3 ranks in Charm or Intimidate, you can convince them to leave, earning Paragon +2 or Renegade +2. Otherwise, you will have to fight them.
3
Loot the Weapons Locker [Easy] in the back rooms.
4
Proceed into Fist's office. Fist will activate two turrets. Use cover and wait for your abilities to cool down to destroy them. Concentrate fire on one turret at a time.
5
Once the turrets are destroyed, Fist will surrender. If Wrex is in your party, he will kill Fist. If not, you can choose to execute Fist or let him go. Executing Fist or saying "He deserved it" after Wrex kills him grants Renegade +2.
6
After defeating Fist, quickly grab the Optical Storage Disc from the floor (needed for the Reporter's Request assignment) and loot a Wall Safe [Easy].
7
Return to the bar, which will have more enemies. Fight your way through them aggressively. Use your squad's focused fire and your abilities to flush out enemies from cover.
8
Exit the bar and head southeast to the fast travel terminal. Turn left (east) and go upstairs.
9
You will find Saren's assassins meeting with Tali. After a scene, you will have to fight a turian and two salarian assassins. Use all your abilities at the start of the fight to take down at least one foe quickly. Be aware of abilities like Overload.
10
After defeating the assassins, you will have a conversation with Tali. Escort her to Udina's office.

In the fight against the assassins, use all your abilities at the start to gain an advantage.
Pay attention to the timer (4:00) to reach Tali before she falls into Saren's clutches.
