As they entered the Noveria port, some guards stopped them and demanded they state their business and relinquish their weapons. I can't believe this, Jane thought.

"I'm Commander Jane Shepard. I'm here on spectre business and I need my guns." She told them.

"A human spectre? Yeah, right." The guard in front said to her disapprovingly.

"Trust me, you don't wanna do this." Jane replied. "My turian friend here is very trigger happy." She wasn't sure if that was a bluff herself but she hoped he wouldn't open fire. Just then a woman came down and told them she just received word that Jane was telling the truth and to let them through. Finally a sensible person, she thought. Upon asking about Benezia they were told to talk to the chief of the port. Before heading there, she pulled Liara aside to ask if she would be okay with hunting down her mother. She told Jane that she had not spoken to her mother in years and if she was evil, she needed to be stopped. That was enough for her but Garrus pulled her aside.

"Are you sure it's wise to bring her along?" He asked.

"She said she'd help and that's enough for me." She told him. She understood his concern but she believed Liara.

"Well, I- alright. I trust your judgement." He replied. She looked at him in surprise. She didnt expect him to agree so easily.

"Thanks, Garrus." She said.

Upon meeting the chief and asking about Benezia and the facility she was at it became clear he would not grant them access. He gave them a story about a dangerous blizzard and the facility being private. She knew he wasn't worried about their safety, which made her more curious about what was going on with the facility there. His assistant stopped her and requested they meet at the hotel bar. Once there she told them her boss was corrupt and she needed evidence that a turian had against him. The turian told them the evidence was in his office which had been overrun by the chief's thugs. They went to the office where a firefight ensued. During the fight, she saw a guard aim his gun at Garrus and instantly shot him down. She wasn't going to let anyone hurt Garrus. She protected everyone under her command but for some reason she felt compelled to protect him more than usual. She shook off her confusion and grabbed the evidence. After convincing the turian to testify and seeing the salarian arrested, they went to the garage. She took out geth on the road as they drove to the facility.

"Whoo! I love these guns!" She shouted as she shot.

After getting the systems back online and getting rid of creatures that looked alot like rachni, they headed further into the facility. They ran into some guards and one introduced himself as captain Ventralis and he told them the place was in lockdown. He wouldn't explain why and told her Benezia was in the hot labs. She felt that something was up and wanted to talk to others first. She helped a doctor procure a cure for an illness before getting to the hot labs. Once there, they ran into a single scientist. He told them about finding a rachni queen in an egg and separating her from her own children to control them only to have them attack the facility. She was not happy about this and told him to do the neutron purge he told her about. Just then, a rachni claw pierced his chest. She shot it down and grabbed the purge code from his body. After activating it, they were ambushed by rachni. On their way towards the elevator, Liara tripped. Jane stopped to help her up and heard the screech of a rachni right behind her then the sound of a shot followed by liquid dripping. It seemed Garrus had shot it before it did any harm to her. This was the guy she wanted to watch her back and he did it well she thought, smiling. Upon exiting the elevator from the hot labs, the captain trained his gun on Jane.

"Sorry, commander. Benezia gave orders to kill you."

"I knew you were hiding something. But at least I know she's here somewhere." She replied before shooting him down while Garrus instantaneously shot down his men as if he knew what she was thinking. They headed towards the last place left. Upon dispatching Benezia's guards, her demeanor changed. She told them that Saren was controlling her mind with his ship, Sovereign. And that it was the real threat. She revealed that Saren sent her there to question the rachni queen about the Mu Relay and conduit. Jane wondered if that had something to do with her visions about the reapers. Benezia then said a few parting words to Liara before turning hostile again. She saw Liara take a few shots at her mother but Jane made sure to get the kill shot. She wasn't about to make Liara deal with killing her own mother, besides she was trained for this. She thought she saw something moving in the confinement chamber and peered in trying to get a good look. She suddenly felt a presence behind her and drew her gun as she turned around to see one of the dead asari staring at her. Just then it spoke revealing itself to be the rachni using her as a vessel. She explained the rachni songs were turned sour by something and pleaded to be allowed to rebuild her children peacefully. It agreed to disappear forever or be destroyed, so Jane released it. Back on the Normandy during conference with everyone, Liara asked about joining minds to see if she could interpret Jane's visions, but everything was still too random to make any sense. She saw Garrus looking confused and realized she hadn't told him about the reapers yet. She asked him to stay behind the others. Kaidan looked worried but she wasn't sure why.

"So back on Eden Prime, I pushed Kaidan out of harm's way and the prothean beacon activated. I saw what I could only describe as visions of something called reapers fighting with the protheans then blacked out." She told him. She didn't want it to seem like she was hiding anything.

"Really? I thought reapers were myths?" He replied. Oh no, she thought. He thinks I'm crazy just like the council.

"Yeah, well. It's what I saw. Then I blacked out and woke up in sickbay. That's when we went to tell the council about Saren and I told them about the vision. They didn't initially believe me about him either and that's why I needed evidence. They still don't believe me about the reapers. I mean, I know I don't have any solid evidence and I'm just another human to them. I can understand why you don't believe me but I think they have something to do with the relay and conduit Saren is after. Just wanted to let you know." Jane rambled out before turning to walk away. Just then Garrus grabbed her arm.

"No. I believe you. I mean rachni were supposed to be extinct and we just met and released a queen. And you're not just another human. You're a damn good one in my book and I agreed to help you and that's what I'm going to do, Jane." He told her, smiling. She couldn't believe it. He actually believed her and he called her by her first name like he viewed her as an equal. She smiled at him, tears of joy almost welling up in her eyes.

"Thank you, Garrus. And I'm here if you need me." She told him. She wanted to hug him but didn't think it was appropriate so she just went on her way.
