Mass Effect - Help Please :(

[buchtis]

Started playing Mass Effect today and i've already sunk 8 hours into it, absolutley loving the game!

Anyway, i'm stuck when i'm exploring some planets. Basically I come across these bits of scrap that I can't salvage as my skills are too low but it looks like my team mates skills are adequate enough for the job. No doubt this is me being retarded but I can't select my other team mates or ask them to do it for me and I have no 'Electronics' skill available on my character. This is the 2nd one i've come across now and it's doing my head in. The other one is on a near by planet I think, i'm dong a mission where i'm looking for crew members or something along those lines.

Help please!

I've just taken some screenshots of my team that i'm currently with, uploaded them to XFire but it doesn't seem to load for me for some reason.

That alien with the masked face and a light for a mouth has a pretty high rating, 6/10 I think and that's still not high enough? Bearing in mind i've only just started exploring the space.

Off topic: Could someone try xfire.com please to see if it's working.

So come back to these if need be? The are in the secondary tab of the objectives. I'm looking for what happened to a team, found the crash site and got attacked by a couple of Aliens but again can't decrypt/unlock it as my skills level is too low. Guess i'll just carry on playing the main storyline then?
