Miranda wants to make certain of Shepard's fate regardless of circumstances, pointing out that the intel she knew mentioned a stasis pod holding the body. When Jacob asks about her methods on the way to the next location, she claims it's harder to turn down credits when you're holding them. She counters by offering double of whatever he's receiving to keep the information secret - half up front, half upon item retrieval - and receives a location after further persuasion.

The contact, a ruddy batarian slaver, claims that Shepard's corpse isn't around anymore, and Miranda doesn't believe it. She pulls out a M-4 Shuriken, dumps the batarian's accomplice to the ground while keeping the gun at him, and orders a meeting with her contact. Miranda shows Jacob around the grim underbelly of a typical Terminus colony when she's harassed by a batarian with a scarred upper-right eye. Miranda warns him not to display his Alliance clothes at the planet they're going, supplying him with combat armor and revealing the ship's armory of Cerberus weapons. Arriving at their destination, Miranda briefs Jacob about the intel she knows: the Normandy was destroyed and Shepard is missing. Many people on Earth support Cerberus' goal of human advancement, she claims, and ultimately Cerberus is accountable to humanity itself. Specifically, the job is about finding the recently-fallen Commander Shepard.Įn route to the Terminus Systems Miranda answers Jacob's queries about her organization. The Alliance man still has misgivings over Cerberus' terrorist reputation, so Miranda offers him the chance to see for himself how they operate. Miranda stokes his interest by claiming he could've made a difference, and reels him in further by painting Cerberus as an organization willing to take action. She patiently hears out his grievances against the Council and the Alliance and reminds him of their past collaboration together before stating her purpose, but Jacob's disinterested reaction afterward prompts her to leave. Miranda locates Jacob at a bar in the Citadel nearly a month after the geth attack on the station with a job proposal for him. Miranda later joins Jacob on his resumed vacation on the Arcturian Jade with a bottle of celebratory champagne. She then accompanies him to the Citadel, where Jacob subdues Jath'Amon and saves the Council. Miranda accompanies Jacob during his interrogation of Nazario, who informs them that Jath'Amon has no intention of a peace treaty, the peace talks being a cover to assassinate the Council with the bioweapon. She later picks up the massive eezo cache Jacob discovers in the facility. When they arrive on Bekke, Miranda reports strange readings from the planet surface as the ship comes under fire. On Ahn'Kedar, Jacob rescues the captive scientists and learns that they need a large quantity of element zero in order to complete a cure. After Jacob fights his way through the compound, he and Miranda find that Nazario has been infected with a deadly bioweapon and agree to find a cure in exchange for his information on the batarians. On Tortuga, Jacob receives the codes for Nazario's compound from Miranda's salarian contact Ish. Miranda then assists Jacob from his ship during his investigations. Miranda gives Jacob three sources which may relate to the recent batarian attacks: a turian arms dealer named Illo Nazario on the planet Tortuga, who has worked with the batarians for years the planet Bekke where a batarian army is reportedly gathering and a rumor that the batarians have kidnapped several scientists and are holding them on the Ahn'Kedar Orbital Platform. She then explains the supposed batarian plot to sabotage the peace talks at the Citadel by assassinating Ambassador Jath'Amon. Miranda greets Jacob after he takes out a group of pirates who had taken over the bar, quipping that she was expecting someone taller. Izunami arranges for them to meet in a bar called the Fringe on Cartagena Station, a space station in the Nemean Abyss. Miranda first makes contact with Jacob Taylor after being referred to him as an informant through his former commanding officer, Derek Izunami.
