Noveria: The Hot Labs

The Hot Labs: From the tram station, head into the elevator on the left. You will find the sole occupant of the hot labs. Yaroslev Tartakovsky. Talk to him to learn about the situation in the Hot Labs. He will also give you the complete history of the Rachni Project, and also states that the Rachni in the lab are beyond saving, so you must activate the neutron purge to kill them. If you ask him about Matriarch Benezia, he tells you he hasn't seen her.
At the end of the conversation you can talk him into giving you the purge codes or talk to Mira in the room behind him for a status report.
Ask Yaroslev Tartakovsky about starting the neutron purge, and he will do it. Before finishing it, a Rachni Soldier pierces through his chest killing him. Defeat the Rachni Soldier.
After the fight is over, retrieve the code from Yaroslev Tartakovsky's body and head into the next room. It is advised to save your game now, before entering the purge code, because a lot of Rachni will swarm you and attempt to stop you once you do. Activate the purge by giving Mira the code. You have two minutes to get out of the Hot Labs.
