To be able to receive this mission you need to advance the Hunting the Archon mission to the point of interrogating Vehn Terev at Kadara Port - "Interrogate Vehn Terev" objective.
Read the email "The asari ark" from Cora.
Ryder,
Had a breakthrough on the location of the asari ark. Please, come talk to me on the Tempest ASAP.
Cora.
Go to the Valay system and search for an anomaly.
Go to the bridge and talk to Captain Atandra and Sarissa.
Find and talk to Vederia.
Go through the living quarters. You should check the rooms for containers, kill some kett, etc.
Try to use the fire suppression console.
She is waiting for you on the Observation Deck.
Yuo need to disconnect three cables. Two cables are on the lower level, one more is on the upper level of the Observation Deck.
Every time you disconnect one of them, some kett will attack you. Kill them all.
You will learn that Sarissa sacrificed the original Pathfinder in battle with the kett.
At some point, the Valiant will join the fight.
The asari ark is safe now.
Now you have to decide if Sarissa should still be the Pathfinder or someone else - Vederia, should take her place.
During the conversation with Sarissa: "We should keep this quiet" or "The asari should know".
If you decided that asari should know what happened, then you will have to make another decision: "She'll be fine" or "Keep Sarissa as Pathfinder".
During the conversation with Cora: "Time limited decision": "Hug Cora".
Cora's Rank 6 skills are now unlocked.
After completing this mission, you will be able to play the mission Cora Harper: A Foundation.
