To proceed with the project

“I think we proceed with the project,” Liara said. “Shepard left us too soon. And after reviewing everything, I think it’s what she’d want. To be able to fully retire. To live in this peaceful world she created. She doesn’t even know the influence she’s had on the world, and I think that. I think that she needs to see this. I just… I just pray that I’m right about all of this. I…”

Miranda stood up as she saw Liara’s panicked eyes. She wrapped her arms around her. “It’s okay. I’m sure you’ve made the right decision. I know this isn’t easy. But like I said before, I’ll stand behind whatever decision you need. So if you want Shepard to be back, let’s bring her back.”

Liara buried her face in Miranda’s shoulder. “Tell me I’m wrong for this. Tell me… please…”

“You’re not wrong,” Miranda said. “I’m sure Shepard would support you in your decision too. And I think you’re right. Shepard would want this. I can get the funding and begin immediately. This time with the Alliance’s support.”

Liara cried. “I… thank you… it was hard to do this once let alone again.”

“I know,” Miranda said letting Liara go. “I know. And the Lazarus Project will proceed as planned. We’ll have Shepard back. She’ll be able to see the changes in this world that she made.”

“Thank you,” Liara said. “I’ll… check in.”

Miranda nodded. “Okay.”
