Offer to help Daniel.You won’t have to work very hard to talk him into it, because the would-be robbers don’t trust the law. After agreeing to help, approach the building. There is an intercom to the left of the door. Interact with it to speak with the robbers. At this point, you have several options to proceed.
I decided I wanted a peaceful resolution, so I introduced myself and asked after the condition of the hostages. I used myPersuasionskills to talk the bandits into surrendering without a fight and without trying to secure an escape ship. Daniel had already made it clear that wasn’t an option. The negotiation approach saved lives.

For me, the target was at level 24, four levels above me. I suggest that you pick a simpler option,Rescue Hostage at Beta Andraste I-C.
