Players need to have completed her Loyalty mission for her to live; however, if they later sided with Jack, lost Miranda's Loyalty, and did not manage to gain it back later, she can still survive.
Miranda will send three messages during Mass Effect 3 , asking Shepard to meet her on the Citadel. Players should check their private terminal often, particularly between missions, to ensure they don't miss any of these requests. Each of these meetings has a time limit. The second time, they will need to meet her in the Specter office, usually before Priority: Rannoch.
The third time, they will need to meet her ahead of Priority: Horizon. Before the second meeting, Shepard will need to read the dossier about Kai Leng on either their private terminal or the Shadow Broker terminal and speak to Anderson about him. During the second meeting with Miranda in the Specter Office, Shepard will need to warn her about Leng.
During the third and final meeting with Miranda in the apartments at the Presidium Commons, Shepard will need to grant Miranda access to Alliance resources when she asks. During Priority: Horizon , Shepard will discover fragmented messages from Miranda to the refugees coming to Horizon, trying to warn them what really awaited them there. The Spectre can get Rasa inside their offices, and it will be up to her to find a way to get the files.
A few days later, Miranda manages to comm Rasa after an unexpected contact loss. Rasa reports she has acquired the data, but doing so was harder than she expected. Miranda starts praising her efforts though Rasa hastily severs contact, who unbeknownst to Miranda is being poisoned at the time.
A few more days pass before Miranda gets hold of Rasa again back aboard the Minuteman Station, ordering medical help on the half-conscious agent. She gets the disc back from Rasa, who tries to warn her about its tainted contents. Miranda assures her she's got it covered, telling her to focus on getting well. Another set of days pass, and on the Illusive Man's sanctum Miranda reports on the completeness of the intel Rasa has procured. She has managed to counteract Vasir's hidden virus and obtained additional funding for the Lazarus Project while she's at it.
The Illusive Man is pleased: Miranda assumes the clone project is no longer a priority, and her boss allows her to continue using it for testing. Rasa's cover, however, is blown, and Miranda reckons she'll never work in the field again. The Illusive Man agrees, but tells her not to worry as he still has a use for her. Miranda visits Rasa on her sickbed two days before her scheduled return to duty, intending to have her compile a full report on Shepard's prospective recruits.
She notices the bedridden agent's focus on her poisoner, and is regaled with the accusation that Thane is the culprit. Miranda is unperturbed and flatly assures her of the futility of obsessing over it, pointing out the significant expense Cerberus spent in reviving her. While on the subject of service to Cerberus, Miranda hands Rasa a dossier on Mordin Solus , expecting her to do her job before returning to active duty.
Her purpose complete, she departs Rasa's room. Miranda signs an order placing Rasa under indefinite medical observation. The newly-recovered agent learns about it and confronts Miranda while she is attending to Lazarus Project matters.
Miranda claims it is for Rasa's own protection as the poison she received is yet unknown to Cerberus: until they learn more and are certain of Rasa's well-being, she is to stay put. Rasa doesn't buy it and insists on more disclosure. Miranda warily confronts her with the fact she's aware of Rasa's repeated attempts to access restricted Lazarus Project files.
She warns Rasa to resume her work with the dossiers: to answer Rasa's earlier query if she is a prisoner, Miranda responds that Cerberus doesn't take prisoners. Rasa has just concluded reading Zaeed Massani 's dossier, returning her attention to the tank containing Commander Shepard's clone.
Miranda watches her from a live feed, and comms the Illusive Man to report a problem with the agent. In her correspondence with the Illusive Man, Miranda reports Rasa's dangerous levels of savvy and knowledge about the Lazarus Project.
She receives the advice to cut Cerberus losses if Rasa becomes a liability. In a command center at Lazarus Research Station in CE, Miranda monitors a ship of turian design when her subordinates report anomalies. The clone lab grows dark, nearby surveillance cameras broadcast images of Blasto instead, and suddenly the station's security systems and mainframe are compromised.
They are drenched by the fire suppression system in the search, prompting Miranda to curse Rasa aloud. Miranda and her team find Rasa at an airlock, suiting up for a spacewalk. Rasa's LOKI opens fire, catching one of Miranda's soldiers, but Miranda projects a barrier for herself and gives the kill order to the rest of her squad.
Miranda angrily pries into Rasa's reasons for deserting, who replies she is taking her life back. After somehow dealing with the mechs Miranda suits up, takes an M Raptor , and resumes pursuit at the station's outer hull. Rasa tries to erode Miranda's loyalty to the Illusive Man, to no effect as Miranda credits the Cerberus leader for saving her when she was young. She listens to Rasa prattle on with her notions of freedom while on the approach. However, the LOKI manages to restrain her at the last moment.
Miranda destroys it, but it's already too late. Her biotic shots at Rasa's fleeing Kodiak miss. Miranda tracks the shuttle to its last known location at the Arcturus system. She assembles a retrieval team as she speaks with the Illusive Man, but he tells her to cancel as he already deems the issue irrelevant. Miranda silently absorbs her boss' assessment. Miranda tells Liara that they have the same goal and brings her to meet the Illusive Man.
Miranda also says to Liara that the Blue Suns were the ones who attacked her and that the mercenary group has Commander Shepard 's body and its still on Omega because Cerberus would have found out if someone had left with it.
Then Miranda tells Liara that if she wants to find Shepard's body, she needs Feron's help. Then she sees Feron's ship and asks Illusive Man to follow it but once again he tells Miranda to wait. After Liara acquires Shepard's body, Miranda meets Liara at Lazarus Research Station , where Shepard's body is transferred for recovery, and tells her that they may not be able to restore Shepard and that the body is in worse shape than expected.
Liara tells Miranda to let the dead rest and that what Cerberus does is not what she brought Shepard back for. Miranda interrupts and tells her that maybe the Collectors would have done the same. She also explains that the Illusive Man is more hopeful about Shepard's prospects and they're going to spend everything they have but it will still take a very long time if it works at all.
When Liara asks what will the boss do about Feron, Miranda answers that the drell knew the risks and if Liara wants to go after him, that's her business and suggests that she do what she wants. Miranda was born in As she explains to Shepard, Miranda never had a mother, only a father who is extremely influential, wealthy, and ego-maniacal.
Using a modified copy of his own genome, Miranda was genetically engineered to be a specimen of human perfection. She never had a mother, as she was not conceived naturally. She was not the first "daughter" he ever designed, just the first he kept. Everything, from her intelligence, physical constitution, biotic abilities, to her appearance were designed before birth to be excellent.
She boasts about being able to shoot a mech's head off from meters away or just as easily crush it with her biotic powers. Miranda also heals faster than other humans and will probably live half a lifespan longer. If Shepard accuses her of being cocky, she retorts that she's only stating the facts. He always expected more and better from her, forever chiding her to be greater than she already was. He also imposed a very strict lifestyle on Miranda, and forbade her from making friends and having a social life.
Miranda remarks that he didn't want a daughter as much as a dynasty, which was why he used his own genetic template to create her. The constant pressure and lack of affection led Miranda to relinquish her privileged lifestyle and run away from home as soon as she could—although some gunfire was involved.
Her father used his extensive network of contacts to chase her across the galaxy, but she managed to elude him nonetheless. At some point Miranda approached Cerberus and joined them in exchange for protection. Miranda knew of them since her father sympathized with their human-centric agenda and was a major backer.
When she enlisted with Cerberus, he stopped pursuing her but severed his ties to the group. Despite their past dealings with her father, Miranda agrees with Cerberus' desire to help humanity. Miranda also enjoys the opportunity to work with people as smart as she is and the amount of latitude their clandestine operations afford her; she is given an objective, all the resources she needs, and nothing more.
Evidently, Miranda has advanced far enough to become one of the few in the organization, much less the galaxy, that meets and answers directly to the Illusive Man, who appreciates her abilities. Over the course of two years, Miranda oversees the development and implementation of Cerberus' vast resources towards bringing Shepard back to life. When Shepard briefly wakes for the first time, Miranda is the first and last person seen by Shepard before falling back to sleep. At some point, the research base comes under attack by a saboteur.
Miranda wakes Shepard over an intercom and guides the Commander to the base's last shuttle. Miranda takes Shepard to be briefed by the Illusive Man, but not before killing the traitor who instigated the attack. When Shepard goes to investigate the colony of Freedom's Progress , Miranda becomes a permanent squad member. Aboard the Normandy SR-2 she functions as Shepard's second-in-command, but she also serves as a proxy for the Illusive Man, to whom she reports regularly.
Initially, Miranda expresses skepticism towards the level of importance the Illusive Man has placed on Shepard, especially since the Lazarus Project required a huge investment of Cerberus's resources and her own time.
She also notes that she wanted to implant Shepard with a control device to regulate the Commander's actions, but the Illusive Man declined her suggestion. Soon after their mission gets underway, Miranda admits that the Illusive Man's estimation of Shepard's value to their cause was accurate.
Because of her father's genetic tampering which gave her the innate advantage to succeed, she still feels like she's living under his shadow, and that her failures are the only thing she truly owns. Miranda admits this has made her somewhat jealous of Shepard, whose vast accomplishments can be credited to skill, talent, and drive. After the Normandy successfully navigates the Omega 4 Relay , Miranda plays a highly visible role alongside Shepard during the attack on the Collector Base.
After defeating a Collector cruiser , a disabled Normandy crash-lands on the station, prompting Miranda to grimly remark that the mission was always likely to be a one-way trip. During a briefing just before Shepard's team disembarks to infiltrate the base , Miranda lends her expertise to help the Commander develop a plan of attack. As Shepard's de facto second-in-command, Miranda assumes she will be leading the second fireteam during the assault, but she encounters resistance from certain team members who don't trust her.
If Shepard picks someone other than Miranda to lead the second team, she will voice her opinion of the choice, ranging from grudging approval to outright disbelief depending on which team member is chosen. If Miranda is in Shepard's team during the final battle inside the Collector Base and Shepard chooses to destroy the station, Miranda will defy the Illusive Man's direct order to stop the Commander, telling the Illusive Man to consider her refusal to be her resignation from Cerberus.
During the mission Miranda asks Shepard for help with a personal crisis and admits she has a twin, Oriana , created as part of her father's intended dynasty. Miranda explains that the reason she joined Cerberus was to hide and protect Oriana as well as herself.
While their father stopped searching for Miranda, he never stopped looking for Oriana. With the help of Cerberus, Miranda managed to establish a new life for Oriana on Illium , where she has lived the life of normalcy their father would have denied her.
Unfortunately, Miranda received word from a contact claiming that their father has finally discovered Oriana and will try to abduct her. Cerberus has made arrangements to relocate Oriana, and Miranda wants to go along to ensure nothing goes wrong.
After gaining the loyalty of both Miranda and Jack , the next time Shepard boards the Normandy Joker will radio in about a fight aboard the ship. Jack wants Miranda to admit what was done to her by Cerberus was wrong, but Miranda refuses to acknowledge that Cerberus was at fault claiming it was a splinter group, not Cerberus, calling the shots.
Shepard can either resolve the conflict without picking sides, in which case, both Jack and Miranda agree to put off their fight until after the mission with the Collectors is over.
If Shepard sides with Jack, then the Commander will lose Miranda's loyalty, but has the opportunity to regain her loyalty in a later conversation.
In addition, if Shepard was in a relationship with Miranda and sides with Jack, then Miranda ends the relationship and will refuse to rekindle the relationship even if her loyalty is regained.
After her sister has been relocated, a male Shepard can talk to Miranda and show a romantic interest in her. He can tell Miranda that she gives herself too little credit for her accomplishments and that she should allow people to appreciate her body and mind, resulting in Miranda "wanting Shepard to admire her body. I have played through twice so far and both times talked to her about Kai Leng and she did not survive either playthrough.
My hypothesis is that she has to be a past romance or at least in an imported save from ME2. Both playthroughs I have done so far have been default non-imports. Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

I think that's what he meant otherwise I doubt he can do anything lol — l I.
It's definitely possible, but I'm not sure under what conditions she doesn't survive, so it's hard to provide the counterpoint. Just curious, are there any guidelines for spoilers in questions. Show 1 more comment. Active Oldest Votes.
