This achievement is story-related.

Back in the lab, you need to search for clues, again. Check the Data File next to the Husk Experiment, then the Microscope, and the Project Information in the other room. Finally, check the messages upstairs.

You can then go away, or search for 2 more clues. Do so.

Check the Sovereign Fragment again, the Datapad, the Scope, the Stone Paintings near the bathroom, the Creature Sightings, the PDA, the Computer Console TWICE, and the Icarus will appear on-screen. Check it and unlock your first clue (1/2), then the Prothean Artifact again in the other room, and finally the Blackout Crimes.

Go back outside behind the tree for another Pistol Ultralight Materials mod, and another Pistol Cranial Trauma System mod near your shuttle. Get back in, then check the Drawer left of the Husk head, and unlock the Locker. Jackpot. You will get an Assault Rifle Omni-Blade upgrade and the second clue. Activate both clues on the map, and you get your next destination.

When you get there, it seems ecctic at first, but it’s just shaking a lot. You have all your time and only weak enemies to dispatch until you reach the AT-12 Raider Shotgun on the floor next to a dead body (when your temmates say you have to find another path). In the next room, you have a SMG High-Velocity Barrel mod on the ground. Go up and activate the bridge, preparing for a Banshee.
After moving on, you’ll have to enter a building. There is a SMG Mass Pulse Recoil System mod here. Continue and during the next fight is some Data to salvage for 2500 creds. Upstairs, it’s just a lone Cannibal, a Medkit and some grenades. Moving on. There is nothing for a good long while except fighting, then you’ll encounter a Harvester. When it’s gone, in the next building is your second Assault Rifle Omni-Blade augment. Next to it is some easy to miss Machinery to salvage for 2500 creds before moving on.

When you reach the elevator, there is worth 5000 creds of Data to salvage inside the structure, on the left. There also is a Medkit. Ride the elevator and meet Ann Bryson. There is only 2500 creds to salvage on the other side of the next massive fight with the Harvester. Enemies don’t respawn here, so you can kill everything and go get the creds. Then go for Cortez. The achievement will unlock here.

Story related. If you want more info, continue reading. Otherwise, know that this will unlock through the natural progression of the story.

When you return to the Citadel, go straight to Dr. Bryson's lab. From the galaxy map, go through the door on the left again and look at the computer on the table near where you found the Creature Sightings clue. The computer will lead you upstairs to Dr. Bryson's personal console to give you more information about his daughter, Ann. Head back down stairs to that same table and look at the PDA to see which ship Ann Bryson was traveling on. Turn around and go the table where you started looking for the Encrypted Data/Reaper Activities clue. Use the computer on the left edge and keep using it until the Icarus appears on the screen. Examine the specifications to find out where it was headed. That will give you one of the two filters that you need to track down Ann Bryson.

For the second filter, turn around from the galaxy map and open the drawer on the table, then examine the PDA. To the left of the galaxy map will be the requisitions locker. Examine all of the equipment in there to acquire the second filter that you need. Go back to the galaxy map and activate it to find her location. Back on the Normandy, use the galaxy map to travel to the Zaherin system in the Pylos Nebula. Ann Bryson's signal will be on the second planet from the star, Namakil. Use the scanner to locate the dig site and land on the planet.

When you land on the planet, Ann Bryson will be under attack by reapers (husks, cannibals, banshees, ravagers, brutes, marauders, and harvesters). You will have to fight through them to reach her. Since the dig site is under attack and is falling apart, the route that you will travel is the most serpentine, indirect route that is humanly possible. The second time that you get to the elevator, you will be able to reach Ann.

After a short cutscene, you'll have to fight some cannibals and marauders as well as a harvester so that Cortez can land the shuttle to evacuate your squad and Ann. Shortly after getting back on the shuttle and talking to Ann, the trophy will unlock.

A small correction (even though I’m not harmful) not a sister but a daughter, there you can also get the Giant Killer trophy, at the end, before boarding the shuttle with the doctor, the collector sits down, under the adrenaline with pumped-up incendiary cartridges, it’s a matter of a couple of seconds and the trophy is yours.
