Part of her was still convinced that it was some sort of ruse or prank on the krogan's part; it was simply too good to be true. Commander Shepard, alive and in Andromeda? She refused to believe it.

When Mindoir is attacked by slavers, 16-year-old Cara Jane Shepard is saved by mercenary Zaeed Massani, not Alliance. Now, at 28, Shepard is helping Zaeed to lead a mercenary crew.
