The Alliance man still has misgivings over Cerberus' terrorist reputation, so Miranda offers him the chance to see for himself how they operate. Miranda stokes his interest by claiming he could've made a difference, and reels him in further by painting Cerberus as an organization willing to take action. She patiently hears out his grievances against the Council and the Alliance and reminds him of their past collaboration together before stating her purpose, but Jacob's disinterested reaction afterward prompts her to leave. Miranda locates Jacob at a bar in the Citadel nearly a month after the geth attack on the station with a job proposal for him. Miranda later joins Jacob on his resumed vacation on the Arcturian Jade with a bottle of celebratory champagne. She then accompanies him to the Citadel, where Jacob subdues Jath'Amon and saves the Council. Miranda accompanies Jacob during his interrogation of Nazario, who informs them that Jath'Amon has no intention of a peace treaty, the peace talks being a cover to assassinate the Council with the bioweapon. She later picks up the massive eezo cache Jacob discovers in the facility. When they arrive on Bekke, Miranda reports strange readings from the planet surface as the ship comes under fire. On Ahn'Kedar, Jacob rescues the captive scientists and learns that they need a large quantity of element zero in order to complete a cure. After Jacob fights his way through the compound, he and Miranda find that Nazario has been infected with a deadly bioweapon and agree to find a cure in exchange for his information on the batarians. On Tortuga, Jacob receives the codes for Nazario's compound from Miranda's salarian contact Ish. Miranda then assists Jacob from his ship during his investigations. Miranda gives Jacob three sources which may relate to the recent batarian attacks: a turian arms dealer named Illo Nazario on the planet Tortuga, who has worked with the batarians for years the planet Bekke where a batarian army is reportedly gathering and a rumor that the batarians have kidnapped several scientists and are holding them on the Ahn'Kedar Orbital Platform. She then explains the supposed batarian plot to sabotage the peace talks at the Citadel by assassinating Ambassador Jath'Amon. Miranda greets Jacob after he takes out a group of pirates who had taken over the bar, quipping that she was expecting someone taller. Izunami arranges for them to meet in a bar called the Fringe on Cartagena Station, a space station in the Nemean Abyss. Miranda first makes contact with Jacob Taylor after being referred to him as an informant through his former commanding officer, Derek Izunami.
