For the character opinion bingo: Miranda

Yvonne Strahovski. Need I say more?

Not enough screentime in ME3, but there's the Miranda mod just to add a little more of her to the game. On her own, Miranda's already awesome but when you bring in the sister dynamic with her and Oriana, my hearttttt.

Her one red flag though is trying to imply she could do the long walk over Samara and Jack (which, as we know per vanilla mechanics, gets someone killed.)

N7 Month Day 21: Broker

(AO3 Link - Played it straight on this prompt, haha. Enjoy my Shepard making a decision.)

Miranda Lawson:

Cerberus Officer. Efficient, ruthless, obsessed with human dominance.

Okay, 'obsessed' was a little strong.

Possible recruitment candidate after Illusive Man's assassination and destruction of Cerberus.

…Huh.

Shepard's brows knit together as she opened the dossier.

Extranet Activity:

Extranet Message: Image results for "Shepard Saren Spectre"

Extranet Message: News summary for "Eldfell-Ashland Energy"

Subscription Activated: After Dark Fashions

Subscription Cancelled:-

Wait.

Shit.

She hastily closed the dossier, backing out to the list of names. Her whole squad, Anderson, Aria, Hackett…

"Liara," she called across the room.

"Yes, Shepard?" The newly minted Shadow Broker had been wrapped up in reviewing the mountains of data in the archives since Shepard had arrived, but she paused now to give her her full attention.

"These dossiers… Send any files on my crew - past and present - to their inboxes. Carefully, so it isn't intercepted. Then delete all copies from these archives." She paused, then added, "Please."

To her credit, Liara only hesitated for a second. "Of course, Shepard. Just your crew?"

Shepard chewed her lip, looking over the list again. "And… Anderson's. The others… forward me a copy. I'm not above a little recon - just not on my own people."

Liara watched her for a moment, then nodded, tapping on one of her screens to start on the request. "I'll take care of it. I… I've already read them though. I'm sorry," she said, sounding genuinely contrite.

"It's alright, Liara." Shepard shrugged. "It comes with the territory now, I guess. But if it has to be someone, I'm glad it's you. I trust you."

Liara looked back over her shoulder, a small smile curving her lips. "That means a lot to me, Shepard. I promise I will not take it for granted."

"I know you won't."

Miranda, Family, & Children

(tw for infertility, pregnancy loss) - this is an expansion of the Shadow Broker dossier entry for Miranda.

Miranda is incapable of becoming pregnant... and has tried many times over the years. Much of this started early on when she rescued Oriana and escaped from her father; while she was attempting to find somewhere that would home and raise Oriana, Miranda actually considered keeping Oriana herself, raising her from a baby. As a result, in the early stages of the adoption process Miranda was put in the role of caregiver for Oriana--only a baby at the time--and found that she had strong maternal instincts. After spending a few years with Cerberus, she missed that maternal instinct she'd had with her sister, and sought to change the fact.

However, after multiple tries, months of pain and treatments, Miranda finally got results... though not the results she wanted. Though she suspects it's due to her unique genetic makeup, Miranda is incapable of conceiving a child; her body cannot physically support it for unknown causes, and any child that is conceived eventually turns into a benign neoplasm--specifically, a uterine fibroid. This drastic change inside her body renders Miranda incapable of carrying a child on her own. Because her genetic makeup is so unique and Miranda is very meticulous about whom she approaches for such procedures, there is little to know scientific information as to why this abnormality occurs, although it's likely that it is, in fact, in relation to her genetic makeup. She suspects that her father was aware of this and this is the reason he genetically created Oriana as her replacement.

Though she has not tried it, Miranda is capable of using a surrogate with significantly reduced success; the problem is only partially in her own body. Whether Oriana carries the same defect or not is uncertain; it's possible that Henry Lawson was able to counteract this issue with Oriana, and she may not suffer from the same consequences that Miranda does. Though she has not tried it, she would also face struggles with an asari partner, as her genetic makeup is unnatural compared to that of other organics, and were she to attempt conception with an asari partner, even they would find difficulties.

Miranda's infertility is what contributed to the breakdown of her relationship with Jacob Taylor when they were growing close. Jacob, in an off-hand conversation, mentioned fatherhood; Miranda, not long after, found out the results of her own infertility, and cut her relationship with Jacob short after that. She believed that she didn't want her own defects--courtesy of her father--to ruin Jacob's chance at a family.

Intelligence Correspondence

November 31, 2209

Mr. Kaidan Shepard AI-4 Tiberius Towers, Silversun Strip Citadel

Shepard,

It has been brought to my attention that, despite being told not to interfere with the ongoing investigation, your findings allowed us to expose a group of batarian pirates plotting to launch a massive operation against our colonies in the Attican Traverse. This allowed us to foil their plans with minimal to no losses and put an end to their madness.

In light of your enormous contribution to the Systems Alliance and intelligence community, that I hereby award you with the rank of Field Agent along with the corresponding raise in pay grade. I also have on good authority that Supervisor Ferwann Els has recommended you to be reassigned to the AIS Operations Group as a new addition to his team, one in which I am inclined to agree.

Enjoy your new post, Agent Shepard. Keep up the good work.

Sincerely,

Dir. Miranda Lawson Vauxhall Cross, London Alliance Intelligence Services

P.S., You remind me so much of your father out there. Make us all proud.

[clericofshadows]

thinking about my SubjectZero Kaidan AU...

since Kaidan is captured about a year before ME1, I think an interesting consequence of that is that after Regis gets his Spectre authorization, he brings Zaeed aboard in some capacity. maybe Zaeed is the one who mentions it, brings up his past with Hackett, and knows Regis wants someone he can trust on board.

doesn't hurt either that they both decided to get together after no more information, after months of silence. full of desperation and regret, but still loving each other all the same.

Regis can't bring himself to get close to the crew, not really. Ashley is one of the first he opens up to, followed by Tali. Zaeed and Wrex knew each other in passing, so that helps.

but the biotic head of marine detail? an L3 with a clean record? too damn close to Kaidan. and too judging of Regis's non regulation tendencies in every definition of the word. his biotics are different from Marvin Harrison's, he invited multiple mercs aboard... He judges Ash based on her service history. yeah, it's not going to work.

not that I wanted to make Kaidan's replacement a villain, but sometimes... it's fun to see how things can be different.

but anyway. I imagine Zaeed would make an interesting companion in ME1 between Feros craziness, Noveria drama, and Virmire...

in between missions and quests, going on UNCs... After seeing the damage of Cerberus, Regis suggests to Hackett they could be behind the disappearance.

a lead, but not a concrete one. not even returning to the planet Kaidan disappeared on gives any new information. but it's something. anything.

and finally Therum, because again, Regis isn't going to prioritize that.

but in this AU? Zaeed doesn't let Regis get Joker alone. They go together.

perhaps both thinking they'll have a chance to reunite with Kaidan

and this time? Regis makes it out alive.

collector and Cerberus timeline is moved up. Regis gets a small team under Alliance and Spectre authorization. New and old crew: Ashley, Wren, Zaeed... Adrian and Vik. Joker and Chakwas. Adams.

they run into Cerberus on Freedom's Progress. a small team, a Corvette. Miranda Lawson and Jacob Taylor are on the scene... as well as an experimental AI mech...

things are the same yet so different.

some dossiers are mirrors. some names are recognized: Vik knows Mordin. Zaeed and Adrian recognize Kasumi's name. Others are discarded... do we need an Omega vigilante, a krogan warlord?

but the convict... Regis is intrigued. curious. sympathetic perhaps.

the captured Cerberus operatives don't help his curiosity.

so they go to Purgatory... Zaeed and Ashley by his side.

and awaits Subject Zero. Kaidan Alenko.

Duplicity

An AU where Kaidan joins Cerberus for the events of ME2.

Chapter Eight: Visitors

"You could have changed first," Mary's eyes flickered to the man, "it would have made a better impression."

This was the Commander on her best behavior, attempting not to scorn the man she once loved. The man that had carried her broken body from the field and into safety. The man that blushed and rubbed at his forehead under her scrutiny, unconsciously buying himself further slack with a motion that brought her back to the old days. She thought reaching him was impossible then; now it was somewhere between impossible and a nightmare. The dissonance firing off in her skull was astounding, painful.

"I was worried about," he choked out, in the husky tone that made her heart flutter, " you."

"We should worry more about ourselves- really, Kaidan? Mouthing off to the Illusive Man?"

Honestly, she was proud of him. Other than the one time he killed a superior, he was quite mellow toward most authority figures. The point value tripled because it was toward the Cerberus ring leader. His hand rubbed the back of his neck, fiddling a while before he would answer.

"Commander, the writing's on the wall here- he sent you... us into a trap. It was negligent at best, he could have easily told us. Given us a chance to prepare-"

"Leave that sort of thing to the three billion dollar asset."

"Four billion," Kaidan smirked, "that also happens to have a death wish."

Mary's eyes fluttered away, losing her will to act brave. Her heart was allowed to fear for another, "maybe I was aiming for you."

His dark eyebrow raised.

"Besides, I can at least try to end my life in the way I see fit."

It was a harsh kickback from the moment of vulnerability. It was too easy for her to return to a level of comfort with Kaidan; why wouldn't it be easy? They had spent nearly a year together more than enough time to grow close, to learn all the ticks and what they meant. Plus, she was bitter. Angry, he had a part in bringing her back to this fucked reality. One where she was shackled to Cerberus. Where her autonomy was a fading illusion, Mary was trapped, and rattling at the bars wasn't enough. Whether it was the nuclear option or falling into submission wasn't entirely clear, both paths still fought.

His other eyebrow joined, creasing toward the center. Reflexively frowning at Shepard's insinuation, a hand returning to massage at his temple, he had no defense. Nothing that would change her mind anyway. He loved her; that was obvious. He couldn't stand to lose her, but he had already told her that. It was in the galaxy's best interest to have her around and kicking Reaper ass, in that there was no doubt. Mumbling and fumbling over words wouldn't budge the Commander. There was no reason even to attempt such a thing.

"I won't apologize for bringing you back."

"What about working for Cerberus?" Mary spat.

Kaidan barked, the aggressive tone an accidental exhaling of emotion, "did Chakwas or Joker get this lecture too? Or is it just me?"

"Does it matter?"

"So Joker gets a warm welcome, you end up drunk with Chakwas, and I end up dodging crates? How is that fair?" he questioned with folded arms.

"They didn't see what they did first hand," she reeled, "they... you... didn't... you knew they killed my unit. You met Toombs."

"And hearing about it wasn't enough?"

Mary's throat bobbed, "it's different."

"Don't BS me, Commander," he retorted sternly, "we're way past that."

"I expected better of you."

"Why? Why just me?"

"You're a good man, Kaidan. I don't like being wrong," Mary went cold, folding her arms over herself, "I don't like thinking I misjudged you."

"Let me get this right...because of our relationship, you expect me to live up to a lofty standard?"

"Hardly lofty. Terrorist organization hardly seems your style," Mary's eyes barbed him with daggers.

"Yet you stick with them."

"What choice do I have? Can I just leave? They've brought in everyone I care about, the Illusive Man has already proved he doesn't mind using anyone connected to me as bait," she looked away, "I'm trapped here."

Kaidan lowered his arms, daring to close a portion of the distance between them. He wanted to assure her, to assuage Mary that she was not the only one caged. It wasn't the time, "I felt the same way when the Council... the Alliance threw me aside. Knowing the Reapers are coming is terrible stuff. Instead of waiting around, I did something."

"You went too far, Kaidan."

"The same could have been said when we mutinied."

"We didn't experiment on people."

"Yeah, Cerberus has a lot to answer for," Kaidan retreated.

Mary didn't answer, watching him coldly. He was sure if she could move from that bed she would have decked him hard on the way out. But she was stuck- tied to the bed by medical tape. She seemed in fine condition to anyone else, but he could see the subtle wince when her breath drew too deep, or her volume grew too loud. Kaidan knew Mary better than anyone.

"What am I supposed to say, Mary? Surviving tore me apart. You, you already know what happened at first, but I had the chance to do something. To fight against what I knew was about to happen," Kaidan stepped forward, "maybe we'll never be what we were. But don't judge me, and let me help. I know how this looks-"

The biotic finally dared to meet her gaze- just in time to watch the tears spring from her eyes," just stop," Mary pleaded, looking at anything else that could distance her, "it may have been two years for you, I get it. You've mourned me. It's only been a few weeks, I felt myself die... just to wake up, and everything is... different. I'm still not sure if I'm in hell or not. Cerberus wasn't even a place I'd be in my nightmare."

Mary's bright eyes suddenly caught him, "and you're with them."

Kaidan moved forward, a hand extended as the Commander curled into herself, pulling up the blanket in vain, hoping it would hide her. Sheild her from the vulnerability she was not willingly presenting. It leaked, and it was unfair of him to take advantage of her. In a previous time her guard would have dropped; now she fought to keep it up—only a part of her struggle to keep sane in this new life. His hovering arm dropped, retreating several paces to force himself to stop.

"I didn't want to believe it," Kaidan stalled, looking at his feet, "but I've been thinking, realized that some of these people are good people. Maybe misguided, but... good."

Mary nodded, keeping her head turned away from him.

"Look, I didn't come here to lecture you," Kaidan sent over a dossier from his omnitool, "I brought some good news. If pulling in someone else we know into this mess is good news."

She shook her arm free of the blanket, the orange illumination of her face revealing a subtle shift in her state. The corner of her lip pulling up after the initial pass of regret filtered over her face, at least the tears he should do nothing about slowed to a trickle.

"There are more dossiers, but I knew this one would be most the important."

"Send them over."

Mary scanned the other two, far more passive in her reading of the other potential members of her crew. This was his cue to leave, so he moved to do just that.

"Just be more careful next time," Mary murmured, following his path out of the medical bay.

Kaidan paused, nodding before ducking out of sight.

~~~

"Thanks Shepard, I will," Liara smiled warmly.

"I'll talk to you later, Li Li," Mary stood, acknowledging Miranda's sideways look with a lop-sided smile. Trotting down the stairs from the administrator's office.

"Jealous, Lawson?"

"No, I-" Miranda smiled nervously, "you aren't going to let this go, are you?"

"Not until I find the perfect nickname."

"Oh god," Miranda muttered, massaging her temples, "Miri and nothing else will be acceptable."

"Really?" Mary prodded but gently offering concern rather than utter mirth.

"Is it not embarrassing enough?"

The Commander grinned smugly, "no, it's just-"

"Just what?" Miranda blew with hands moving to her perfect hips.

Mary didn't avoid the conversation out of pettiness- Joker's voice drowned out the moment, pulling away from the lightness of her mood.

"Shepard, we, uh, have a visitor? Some Kai Leng he claims to be Cerberus."

"You let him on the ship?"

"Let is not the word I'd use."

"And everything was going so well," Garrus quipped, the quicker of her companions to read the shift of Shepard's energy.

"Mr. Moreau is correct, Mr. Leng is here on the Illusive Man's orders," EDI pipped in, "I had to let him in."

"You better hurry; he already pissed off Tali."

"I'm on my way, Joker."

"A stowaway problem, Shepard?" Garrus asked with a cock of his head.

"Miri," it was too grave for a lighthearted nickname, "do you know a Kai Leng?"

"That bastard."

Mary cocked her head, her smile fading into a frown, "Miranda?"

"This isn't good news, Shepard. He's the Illusive Man's personal pet," she spat.

"Threat level?"

"Ten."

Mary picked up her pace to the Normandy, ignoring the sideways glances and concerned looks she received. The doors to the ship were open for her, and an over-the-shoulder call from Joker directed the party to the shuttle bay. The elevator felt like it took centuries, and neither of her companions wanted to say a word. Not even a half ignored news clip to pass the time. Leaving her to claw at her vambrace, annoyed to be tramping through her ship in unclean armour. It was a minor detail, but she hated bringing unnecessary germs onto the belly of her ship. She had a quarian to consider.

As if that was her greatest worry at the moment.

Mary stormed into the cargo bay, surprised to find three figures, and notably the lack of a certain Quarian. The krogan presence was less of a surprise, if there was a fight Grunt would find it. With his space overlooking the bay, he didn't have to pry, and furthermore, Jack's latest biotic blast wasn't easily ignored.

"If you think I'm letting you take me now," Jack heaved, dodging a projectile and returning a side-stepped shockwave, "you're fucking wrong!"

"Jack!" Mary screamed, breaking the biotic's concentration, and then her head swiveled to the stranger, "you must be Kai Leng."

"Shepard," the dark-haired stranger drawled, sending an instinctive shiver down her spine.

She wouldn't be intimidated, ignoring the gnawing sense this man would as quickly kill her as he would shake her hand, but it couldn't stop the protect folding of her arms over her chest, "why are you tormenting my crew?"

"Lawson," he continued, the smug smile leaving as he examined the turian, "and this must be the one known as Archangel."

Mary stepped in to partially block his view of Garrus. She knew that look.

The mixed heritage man extended out his hand- Mary had never wanted to do anything less, but this was a power move. Declining would give him the literal and figurative upper hand. Fuck, his grip was tight, overbearing.

"I was sent here to help; after all, the fate of humanity is resting on your shoulders," Shepard felt the omitted words from his saccharine tone.

"I don't need the kind of help that torments my crew."

"I corrected your blatant disregard for Cerberus' confidentiality."

A chuckle escaped Garrus's airway, on inspection, Miri sported a fleeting smirk. Spurring Mary on to laugh in his face, "yeah, from stolen Alliance and Turian designs."

"This wasn't part of the deal, Shepard," Jack butted in.

"You'll get those files back."

"Will you?"

"You'll learn soon enough that Shepard gets her way, Leng."

Kai Leng took his turn to chortle, "so quick to betray Cerberus, Miss Lawson?"

Miranda exhaled slowly, "what's the harm in a few classified files," her tone almost defeated. Mary and Jack meeting each other with a curious look.

"I'm sure you can find your way to temporary quarters?" Mary returned her attention to the stranger, "The Illusive Man and I need to have a chat in the meantime."
