Everything occurred as Kelly's benefactor indicated. Cerberus had contacted her, making special note of her psychology expertise and her vocal support of Shepherd's claims. What made them different from her benefactor was how far more subtle they were. The benefactor had also given her the questions they would use to chose her, since Cerberus was meticulous as to whom they recruited, and the answers they would accept

With butterflies in her stomach, Kelly wondered if now would be a good time to introduce herself. However, there was something in Sheperd's posture that seemed to make Kelly think twice before leaving her desk. When the Commander had finally collected herself, she started towards the elevator

At her console, Kelly looked over the information dossier on her screen. Mordin Solus. Age; 36. Childless. Homeworld; Sur'kesh. The yeoman reminded herself that the Salarians didn't share the same concepts of marriage and family the way humans did. Retired member of the Special Tasks Group. Moved to Omega half a year ago for reasons unknown

Kelly's training had slowly seeped into her thoughts, curious if Shepard's pre-military life was unpleasant to the point where she wanted nothing to do with it. It wouldn't have been the first time someone made sure to keep anyone that wanted to get inside their head at arm's length. She had a suspicion that the events of Torfan may have had something to do with it as well.
The analyst in her came to the conclusion that, at face value, Commander Shepard was aggressive and closed off. Probably for good reason, but it still didn't remove the sting from her glare any faster. She wanted to help, but she wasn't given the chance.
A beep from her console got her to turn back and see the same dialogue box that her benefactor had first used to speak with her.
Be patient and tread lightly. Shepard's shell is hard for a reason. Just as quickly as it appeared, the chat box vanished. How did her benefactor know about this

The doctor shook her head and turned to the salarian, “Yes, but this isn't the first time they've come to blows like this. We've all gotten so used to their bickering that it shouldn't have bothered her

Kelly stood outside the door to Shepard's room. She could not stop the shiver. Not just because of the lack of a heat source, but the sheer terror of what she had heard Dr. Chakwas and Miranda said the day before.
There was also that single line on her console, coming from the Commander's station in her room, in the CIC which almost made Kelly's heart stop.
Report to our quarters at once!
'Our quarters'? Many suspicions floated through Kelly's head as she reached up to tap the door. However, before her hand could touch the cold metal, the door opened, even though the hologram above the lock was inoperative.
Except for the blue glow of the empty fish tank and the light from the stars by the window, everything was covered in a blanket of darkness.
A voice, altered by... something, said ominously, “...enter.”Kelly gathered what little courage she possessed and walked in. The instant she stepped past the threshold of the cabin, the doors slammed shut

“So, you're saying that Shepard still has some trauma associated with her death?”
“While that is not the only thing, you are correct. She wonders if she is even Shepard anymore. She wonders if she is any different than the husks the Reapers construct out of the remnants of your people.”
Kelly balked at the notion. “What? How can she believe that? She's still alive.”
Echo narrowed her eyes, “Have you ever perished and returned from the dead before, Kelly Chambers?”
“Well, no, but...”
“THEN BE SILENT! In case you have not noticed, she has been less than cordial with those around her. She has had little time to come to terms with the fact that her life has been restored by mortal means and now she is once again pressed into service by an organization she hates. This cannot continue as it is. You, Kelly Chambers, must restore her sanity or else all is lost.”Something did not add up, “wait, if that's the case, why are you so intent on ensuring Shepard's survival? It's not like you have any stake in this

Kelly stood beside the door to the hallway as Shepard completed her plans for the next few weeks. While it had been difficult to convince Miranda for Nora to step down temporarily for sick leave, they assuaged her fears by the plan to accumulate the needed materials to upgrade the Normandy. Every member of the recruits had plans, contacts, and schematics they could be used to give the frigate additional protection, armaments, and countermeasures the next time they would meet the Collectors

Nora scuffed her shoulder length dark red hair in frustration, “I know! I know... it’s not you I’m worried about.” She paused for a moment and continued, “it’s the Illusive Man. And not just him. I can’t help but feel that both the Alliance and the Council are keeping tabs on me, somehow

Kelly’s mouth hung open in shock. Which caused ‘Nora’ to smirk as she continued, “Surprised? My real name is Ann. Never found out my family name. Didn’t care to find out, either. Just a source of bad memories and disappointments

She closed her eyes and held a hand to her face. “In OLA, there was a small church that saddled several of the gang turfs at one time. The church was practically the only truly neutral place in the city as far as the gangs were concerned, since the workers there didn’t discriminate.” Shepard’s face grew heated as she snarled, “Then some nameless asshole comes along and burns it down for kicks! Nora... Nora was there at the time
