They had arrived on Noveria. As soon as they stepped out, they were greeted with guards demanding that they relinquish their weapons. Jane just held her gun up and pointed it at them as if it was instinct. Garrus immediately followed suit. Well at least things are never boring with Jane, he thought. She told them she was a spectre and she wasn't giving up her guns. They didn't seem to believe her. He guessed the news hadn't reached here yet. Just when it looked like things were going to get fun, the guards received word that she was telling the truth and they were allowed through. They found their way to the chief of the port, a sketchy salarian. Of course all salarians seemed sketchy to Garrus. They were the ones that created the genophage. He refused them passage saying a storm was causing unsafe conditions and their destination was a secret, private facility. Even Jane's charm didn't work on him and Garrus thought she could charm the pants off anyone. Upon leaving the office, the salarian's assistant told Jane to meet her by the hotel bar. There she told them she was investigating her boss under cover and told them to speak with a turian who had evidence against him and she would give them a garage pass if they did. He knew she could easily trade the info of the hanar smuggling for a pass but she chose to help bring down a corrupt business man. She really was about justice. He was really starting to admire her. Once speaking with the turian they learned his evidence was in his office which he'd been kicked out of and the chief had guards in there. Jane agreed and they went into the office. Yet again, they quickly dispatched the guards. Garrus briefly got distracted by watching Jane and narrowly dodged a bullet. He quickly regained his composure and went back to shooting. He didn't understand why he felt compelled to watch her other than to watch her back. Jane grabbed the evidence and they returned it to the turian. She once again turned on her charm to convince him to testify against the chief too. After seeing the salarian arrested they got their pass and headed towards the facility. On the road there, Jane took out geth with the mako guns. She smiled and laughed while shooting them down. Now that was his kind of woman, he thought. Once inside Jane had to restore the systems manually which she did with relative ease. Garrus couldn't believe it. She was strong, charismatic, smart and beautiful. Wait he thought to himself. How could he think a human was beautiful? He didn't think bad of humans but he never found one attractive before. He was confused. He found his composure again once they saw these huge spider like creatures coming towards them. Him and Jane quickly shot them down, Liara even got a few hits in with her pistol. But then Jane spoke up.
"Were those... rachni?"
"That's not possible" Garrus replied. "They were eradicated by the krogan during the rachni wars"
"Well, something's up. They look just like the vids. But we need to find Benezia. Let's go"
Garrus knew she was right. But again he told himself that rachni were extinct. They fought their way through more rachni like creatures until they reached a room with some guards. A man introduced himself as Captain Ventralis. Upon Jane asking about what's going on he just told her they were on lockdown.
"Do you know where Matriarch Benezia is?" Jane asked the captain.
"I believe she headed over to the hot labs. Take this pass to used the elevator." The captain replied.
Jane turned to Garrus and Liara and said
"I wanna check on the other employees first."
"You sure?" Garrus asked. "We should hurry to Benezia."
"We can't just leave people if they need help. Besides I wanna find out what's really going on." She told him.
He knew she didn't use her charm on him but he felt inclined to agree and trust her decision. After talking to a scientist and helping him make a cure for an illness, they finally took the lift to the hot labs. There they met a scientist. Upon asking he said Benezia wasn't there. Something's up, Garrus thought. He told them that they found an ancient egg and once it hatched they found out it was a rachni queen. He said they separated her eggs from her hoping to control the hatchlings but it didnt work and they attacked the facility. He also told them that they were beyond saving and they needed to activate the neutron purge to get rid of them. Jane told him to do it. As he got up to go to the console, a rachni claw all of a sudden pierced through his chest from behind. Jane quickly shot it down and searched the body to find the activation code. As soon as she punched it into the console, a 120 second timer popped up and rachni flooded the area. They raced towards the elevator while shooting them down. One almost got it's claws on Jane while she was helping Liara but Garrus shot it. You're not taking Jane he thought. After getting into the elevator, they went to confront the captain. He pulled his gun and told them that Benezia gave them orders to not let them live. Obviously, they had to dispatch of the guards and afterwards headed to the one place left. Upon reaching the secure labs, Benezia sicked her asari commandos on them. After dispatching them, Benezia spoke differently. She told them that Saren had used his ship, Sovereign, to take over her mind and was sent here to get the location of the Mu Relay from the rachni queen in order to find the conduit. She then turned to Liara and told her she didn't have much time and just muttered out she was proud of her before turning hostile again. They had to kill her and after she fell, Jane went towards the confinement tank she was at. As she peered through it, a dead asari suddenly rose and spoke to her. It turned out to be the queen speaking through her. She told them that her mother's song was "turned sour" by some unknown force therefore they weren't fully responsible. She pleaded that she wanted to peacefully rebuild her children. Jane asked if she promised to disappear and not cause another war. The queen agreed and Jane then released her. Garrus really hoped that it wouldn't come back to bite them in the ass but admired her compassion. They decided to return to the ship. In conference, Liara asked if she could try and help Jane figure out what her visions were and touched her head. Garrus wondered what they were talking about but decided to say nothing.
