Garrus had grown to enjoy and look forward to the times Jane would come to chat with him. One conversation was when she asked him about why he joined C-sec. He couldn't understand why a soldier and spectre like her would be interested but he felt compelled to answer her if only to keep her talking to him. He told her he joined because he wanted to take down bad guys and serve justice, that his father being a successful officer himself led him down that path. He reminisced about hearing about all his dad's big busts. He told her that his dad was taking his resignation hard and she asked why he wouldn't be impressed about him going after Saren and he explained that his dad was big on do things right or don't do them at all. He also told her that his dad talked him out of being a spectre candidate, that he doesn't like how they have unlimited power with no accountability and explained that he probably wouldn't like her. He didn't know why he thought she would care but for some reason he cared. She told him that she understood. She had once again surprised him. He thought she'd be more defensive. He told her that Saren isn't going to play by their rules, by C-sec's rules. She calmly told him that just because you can break the rules doesn't mean you should. She said she didn't need to stoop to Saren's level to stop him and neither did he. Shock hit him again. He never stopped to think with that kind of logic for a long time. He told her he understood what she meant but he had to think about it.
In another conversation, she had told him about Mindoir being attacked when she was 16. That her parents died helping her hide from the batarian raiders. That it was an alliance soldier who found and rescued her and was her inspiration to join. She also told him about when everyone else in her squad was killed by a thresher maw attack on Akuze. He didn't know what to say other than he was sorry. He thought about hugging her but refrained from it. He couldn't believe she survived all of that and still carried herself with the grace and strength that she did. She was truly a remarkable woman even by turian standards.
