It began with Jacob, discovering a curious signal sent from a ship his father had supposedly died on. In truth, the ship had crashed on an uninhabited planet, the only food on it being mushrooms that seemed to reduce the remaining crewmembers to a sort of caveman-like state. The women were confused and scared while the men grew immensely violent and territorial. It left Annie with a bad taste in her mouth as they discovered their great "leader" was Jacob's father. The man had been placed at the top of some mountain with the only remaining safe food. He tried to tell them that it was out of his control, that he hadn't wanted what had happened. But none of them bought it. Annie couldn't tell if Jacob was thankful for discovering the truth about his father, or only more lost.
Next, was Miranda, the woman having come to the uncomfortable discovery of some information. Apparently, Miranda wasn't an only child. During her time as a lab rat to her father a second daughter – a replacement – was created. It was her twin but born when Miranda was a teenager. She didn't want her sister, Oriana, to suffer the same fate as she had. So in her escape she took the baby, ensuring she was placed into a good family and able to live a good life. But it seemed that somehow her father had gotten news of where Oriana was and Miranda was asking Annie for help to save her.
It wasn't exactly the easiest of trials but they were able to stop Oriana and her family from being shipped off. In the process they discovered that Miranda's contact, Niket, was the one trying to return Oriana to her father. He believed that what Miranda he done in stealing the baby was a crime. That the only reason he had helped Miranda escape all those years ago was because Miranda chose to run away. He believed that she had taken Oriana from a life of wealth and happiness. Even without knowing much about Miranda's father, Annie knew that wasn't completely true.
And in the end, Niket was killed by an eclipse merc, who was then swiftly shot down by the commander. Miranda was upset, scolding herself for trusting the man, for not cutting ties and then upset at Shepard for stopping her from killing Niket herself. But Annie knew she had done the right thing stopping Miranda. It was clear she still cared for the man and what he'd done to help her in her life. Having his blood on her hands would only begin a world of regret.
From there, Annie found herself returning to the dark world of Omega to help Samara find her daughter. Apparently she was an Ardak-Yashi, an evolved version of asari that killed their victims by merging with their minds before sucking them dry and leaving the victim an empty husk. EDI directed them to a woman whose daughter had recently been killed by the asari. The worst part of it all was that this asari was also Samara's daughter, Morinth. Annie was having a hard time thinking about it, about having a duty to kill her own daughter. Samara claimed to have three of them, all with the same condition though apparently Morinth was the only troublemaker of them. If any of Annie's children with Liara were to be diagnosed as Ardak-Yashi, she wouldn't be able to treat the occasion so casually.
But they agreed she would need to be lured out from the VIP section of the Afterlife. It made Annie respect Aria more to know that the woman disliked the VIP section of the club, as if to know that that wasn't where she needed to be. Especially since the place seemed to be full of just a whole bunch of first class posers. But supposedly this was the place where Morinth prowled for her victims and Annie was to try her best to attract her attention. It was funny to think about, but Annie hadn't had to do anything like that for several years. She never outright attempted to get someone's attention because normally she already had it. Of course, a lot of that attention involved someone pointing a gun at her, but same difference.
Either way she stepped into the club, wearing an outfit she couldn't say she had ever thought much about wearing. It looked a lot like her armor that she wore normally, except without the padding. There was black, leather-like material on her legs that disappeared into a pair of high-heeled black boots. Her shirt was grey, tight and long sleeves, that covered her palms but left her fingers exposed. There was a splash of red across her eyes as she let her hair hang down in its natural waves. Unfortunately, the only attention she seemed to get was from people she didn't particularly care about.
"Hey there, princess," a man cooed, giving a small whistle as she passed by, attempting to ignore him. Suddenly his hand snapped out and hit her square in the ass, making her flinch as she turned slowly. He chuckled; clearly drunk by the way he wobbled in place as she smirked at him. Slowly she walked back as a dumb smile rested on his face, "What's a sexy thing like you doin' in a place like this," he slurred, running his hand up her thigh to rest on her butt. Without a warning Annie reached back, grabbing his wrist and twisting it at a painful angle to force him to flip onto his front. She pinned his arm against his back and pressed him tight to the wall with her other forearm as she moved close to his ear.
"I hate to tell you, but I'm far more interested in getting my ass slapped by a woman of the asari variety." Annie gave him another firm shove before stepping off and heading into the main part of the club. Unlike the main area this place didn't seem to have any sort of strippers, just people dancing drunkenly in the center with others settled around tables by the bar. It seemed just a little too…boring. But either way Annie decided a good place for her to go might be the bar, grab a drink and take a look around the room. Though, even there she met some trouble.
