The second time, it takes Shepard a little while to figure out what’s going on.
She wakes up in the medbay, and Chakwas is talking to her about the beacon and she thinks, Wait a minute, I was in London... the Crucible... the Catalyst... but maybe that was just part of the vision. So she goes about her business, but everything is too familiar, people have said these things before, done these things before.
In Dr. Michel’s clinic, she stares into Garrus’s face, looking for any sign of recognition, but he just looks at her expectantly, and as soon as she says her piece, he’s off telling her things she already knows.

It doesn’t work. They don’t believe her. They do send her off. She dies over Alchera, gasping for air, thinking, Goddammit, not again, and then she’s waking up and rolling off that table before Miranda even finishes

She’s lost count of the number of iterations she’s been through-more than ten, probably fewer than twenty, but beyond that she couldn’t say. She heads down to the cargo hold for the first time this loop in a cheerful mood, glad to be away from the Citadel and its politicking for a while. She tries to remember which planet they’re dropping onto. Oh, right, they’re picking up Liara. “Okay,” she says, “Garrus, up front with me. Wrex, you take the cannon in back
