Jane made her way down to the cargo bay after another mission. As usual she stopped and talked to Kaidan on the way. He told her about his time at a horrible biotics camp and the abuse they suffered there. He also expressed an interest in her. She liked him enough. He was kind and cute and available but there was something nudging at the back of her mind. She decided to talk to Garrus to get her mind off of things. He had a way of getting her to relax around him, a relaxation she's never known.

She decided to ask Garrus about joining C-sec. He told her he wanted to catch bad guys and serve justice. He seemed like a very honorable man. Not just another turian but his own person. He told her his father was his inspiration while she remembered her own father working hard in Mindoir. She missed him and her mother dearly. Upon learning his father took his resignation hard she asked if he wasn't impressed with him going after Saren and he told her he didn't like spectres and the fact they had unlimited power and resources with almost no consequences. She reminded herself that she had promised not to be like that. He then told her that his father wouldn't like her. She told him she understood. She didn't care if his father liked her but for something reason Garrus's opinion mattered deeply to her, though she wasn't quite sure why. He then told her that Saren wasn't going to play by the rules. She knew that. That's one of the reasons she's going after him. She explained that she can catch him without stooping to his level and she believed Garrus could too. He seemed surprised and told her he understood and would think about it. She hoped he would come around. There's already too much of the powerful hurting the innocent and she was fighting for that just as she had been for years.

She eventually ended up telling Garrus about the attack on Mindoir when she was 16. She told him how her parents sacrificed themselves to hide her once the batarian raiders came. She could still remember her father's face as he told her to stay hidden until it was safe. How a few minutes later she heard a shot and her mother scream then another shot followed by silence. How she hid like a coward until she made a run for it. She was lucky enough that it was an alliance soldier that found her. It was then that she decided she was going to get strong and be a fighter for justice just like that marine. Then she told him about Akuze and the thresher maw attack. How it wiped almost everyone out instantly. How she could hear Corporal Toombs screaming in agony as acid entered his body. She somehow had held out and made it out of there alive even though she still had nightmares sometimes. She knew it had made her stronger and got her referred to the N7 program. Garrus stiffened and looked conflicted for a moment then uttered out an "I'm sorry". She wasn't worried about sympathy. She didn't know why she told him. The stories just kind of came out of her mouth almost like an impulse. She felt she could trust Garrus and wanted him to know about her just like she wanted to know more about him. She didn't understand what she was feeling. It was new and confusing. And she was thinking crazy. A human and turian could never work out and she thought he couldn't possibly have any interest so she kept it to herself.
