Mission: Cold Call

In Cold Call the player is invited as a diplomatic representative to the Deferi, but soon finds there is more to the Deferi's request than first meets the eye.

Synopsis
Serving as Ambassador Surah's escort back to Defera, the player notices their first signs that all might not be as it seems; large amounts of wreakage in planetary orbit and a strange ship passing through the system that sensors are unable to indentify. After beaming down to the planet, Surah begins briefing the player on the history of the Deferi, their world, the belief of Balance and the Preservers. The briefing is interrupted when Breen forces beam down to attack the Visitors' Center and the nearby Preserver Ruins. After clearing out the groups attacking the Visitors' Center, the player and their away team head for the Ruins to repel the Breen there, only to be confronted by the leader of the attack. When the leader is defeated, Ambassador Surah contacts the player to inform them that he is returning to his ship. Beaming up, the player must defend Surah's ship from waves of Breen ships.
