Illium: Gianna Parasini

If Gianna Parasini was not killed in Mass Effect 1, she will have an assignment for you. Speak with the Merchant near the Serrice Technology kiosk. If you choose to help Gianna, ensure you obtain the Merchant's discount first, or you will be unable to speak with her. If you choose to help the Merchant, she provides a discount before fleeing, but you will not receive assignment completion experience.

Illium: System Hacking

Speak with Liara upstairs. Proceed to the southern Transportation area and hack three terminals sequentially. After each hack, you have approximately one minute to locate the correct server for data upload. There are three upload sites: one near Baria Frontiers, the second near Memories of Illium, and the third near Officer Dara. Utilize the distance meter and targeting system (part of your Heads-Up Display or HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap)) to find the servers if you encounter difficulties. Completing this assignment unlocks The Observer assignment. Speaking with Liara also allows you to continue two recruitment missions on Illium.

Illium: A Troublemaker

Go to the Eternity bar and find the troublemaker at the bar. Speak with Conrad, silence him, and then inform the bartender that you will investigate the issue. Travel to the southeastern section of Illium and Gateway Personal Defense to speak with the Weapons Merchant. Persuade her and return to Eternity. Persuading her grants you a discount at Gateway Personal Defense. If you chose the paragon option, another persuasion option becomes available at the bar. Regardless of the path, he establishes a charity in your name, making the primary difference Morality points.

Illium: Persuade the Asari

This is a simple, albeit strange, quest. Go to the Asari near Memories of Illium who is being serenaded by Charr the Krogan. Persuade her to make a decision. Either outcome will grant you a discount at the nearby kiosk.

Illium: The Observer

To finish this quest, hack the Datapoints located in the northern part of Illium. After hacking all five terminals, call Liara. Inform her that no one fits the profile. She will deduce the Observer's identity and handle it herself. Upon returning to her, you can uncover Liara's true story behind her current role as an information broker by asking her about her "Anger at the Shadow Broker."

Illium: Medical Scans

Speak with the Zhu's Hope representative near Officer Dara. Then, speak with Erinya, the Baria Frontiers Representative nearby. As you investigate, you will have the option to question her past further and persuade her. Inform the Zhu's Hope representative of the outcome to complete the assignment.

Illium: Indentured Service

Speak with the Slave Broker after completing the Troublemaker mission. To resolve the situation, either speak with the Synthetic Insights Representative and persuade her to hire the Quarian, or convince the Asari to release the Quarian from her indentured servitude contract. The persuasion requirements for the S.I. Rep are slightly higher than for previous quests, but speaking with the Slave Broker has lower requirements. There is a minor bug where if you do not persuade the S.I. Rep the first time, you can still complete the quest and then persuade her to hire the Quarian afterward, earning additional Morality points.
