| abstract | - Miranda Lawson was a high-ranking Cerberus operative and biotic who served as one of the Illusive Man's top agents and Commander John Shepard's second-in-command during the Collector crisis. A very well informant with many contacts, Miranda's range of contacts extend from Citadel space and the Terminus Systems, to as far as the hostile Nemean Abyss. Her vast network may be explained by the fact Miranda is a known Cerberus operative, one who still has friends — or at least friends of friends — in the Alliance military. From 2183 to 2185 CE, Miranda was assigned as head of the Lazarus Project, which brought Shepard back to life when he was killed by the Collectors one month after the Battle of the Citadel. When Shepard was sent by the Illusive Man to defeat the Collectors, Miranda joins as the new Normandy SR-2's executive officer, giving mission reports to the Illusive Man. Although initially skeptic and cold towards Shepard, she eventually warmed up to him and became one of his closest friends. During the Normandy's final maiden voyage beyond the Omega-4 Relay, Miranda proved her loyalty by severing all ties with Cerberus once the suicide mission proved to be a success. Some time before the Reaper invasion, Miranda spent the next several months on the run while trying to determine the whereabouts of her sister Oriana. During the war's final stages, she rescued her sister and was part of the Citadel Allied Forces's strike teams to retake Earth from the Reapers. Following the end of the war, the Systems Alliance officially granted Miranda amnesty for her contribution. Since then, she became a high-ranking member of Alliance Intelligence and eventually rose to become the agency's director.
