For some reason, this scene always pop up in my mind while playing the Suicide Mission, maybe cause several of "Miss Perfect's" suggestions aren't always that perfect...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*On the Normandy....
Shepard: "We need someone with tech skills to crack that door open. Tali, you're up."
Tali: "I won't let you down, Shepard."
Shepard: "The rest of us will split up and draw away the Collectors while you're busy hacking the door open."
Miranda: "I'll lead the Second Team, Shepard, we'll meet up with you..."
Jack: "Hold the ****, Cheerleader, no one here wants to take orders from you."
Miranda: sighs, "This isn't a popularity contest, I am Second in Commander here rememb..."
Grunt: "The puny female with no armor doesn't command the same respect as Shepard... too squishy, won't last long in a solid fight."
Miranda: "Lives are at stake, people! You can put your personal feelings aside and obey my orders for..."
Garrus: "Uhh helloooo, half of here aren't human and don't trust Cerberus worth a damn, so why would we follow the Illusive Man's 'Miss Perfect who complains about being born perfect'?"
Miranda: "Shepard, you need someone who can command loyalty through experience. I was trained since birth to be a leader, you need me to..."
Shepard: "Jacob, you're in charge of the Second Team."
Miranda: "What the..."
Jacob: "Understood, Commander."
Miranda: "Shepard, you just heard these aliens say that they wouldn't follow a Cerberus officer, so why would you expect them to follow..."
Garrus: "Actually, I'm down with him being in charge."
Jack: "Yeah, no ****ing problem for me."
Samara: "It's perfectly fine with me."
Thane: "Agreed."
Grunt: "Whatever..."
Legion: "Consensus reached."
Miranda: "....... Right...." sighs and rubs her forehead, "All right, fine, whatever works. Hope you're ready for responsibilities of command, Mister Taylor..."
Kasumi: "Lead the way, Mr. Chocolate Abs of Love."
Jacob: "Uh, what?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*10 minutes later....
Shepard: "What about biotics? Could we create a biotic sphere to protect us for the seeker swarms?"
Samara: "Yes, it should be possible. I wouldn't be able able to protect eveyone, but a small group would be enough to..."
Miranda: "I could do it too."
Shepard: "What?"
Miranda: "I could make the biotic barrer too. In theory, any biotic could, but since I was genetically altered to be a perfect human with strong biotics, naturally I should be the one..."
Shepard: "Jack, you're in charge of making the bubble."
Miranda: "Huh?"
Jack: "Ha! Suck it, ya cocky b****!"
Miranda: "Hmmmmm...." crosses her arms and sulks, "Ok, ok, fine. Well, we'll need another leader for the other Secondary Team and since I didn't lead the Second team that last time, I should..."
Shepard: "Garrus, you're leading the Second Team."
Miranda: "Oh come on!"
Garrus: "Understood, Shepard." under his breath to Miranda, "Maybe if you were actually wearing armor instead of that Omega stripper getup..."
Miranda: "Grrrrr..."
Shepard: "Ok, my team will manuver through the swarm and open the door for the rest of you to rejoin us on the other side of the base."
Dr. Chakwas: "What about me and the rest of the crew, Shepard? We're too weak to make it back to the Normandy on our own.. Someone should really escort us back to the Normandy."
Miranda: "Shepard, we can't afford to send somone to drop these people off back at the ship! I really think you should listen to me for once on this missi..."
Shepard: "Mordin, go with the crew, keep them safe."
Mordin: "Joker, need location of landing zone."
Miranda: biting her teeth on her uniform sleeve in fustration...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*15 Minutes later....
Shepard: "A rear guard could fend off the Collector's while I and two others go on ahead to plant the bomb to destroy the base."
Miranda: "Picking a team to go with you, Shepard, the others can wait here and fight off the persuing Collectors. Since I am Second in Commander..."
Garrus and Kasumi: holding back their snickers...
Miranda: glares back behind her before turning back to Shepard, "... As I was saying, since I'm Second in Commander of this mission and it's highly probably that the Illusive Man will call you before you plant the bomb, for any number of possible reasons that Cerberus may or may not require of you, it is highly important that I come along as..."
Shepard: "Garrus, Tali, you're with me."
Miranda: "Shepard! Did you hear I would that I've said?! I am one of the best individuals of this squad that you've assembled for this mission and I was hand-picked directly by the Illusive Man to be your Second in Command based solely on my superior training and skills! Don't you think it would be a wise and strategically intellegent decision to take such an important member with you to this final battle with the fate of humanity in the balance?"
Shepard stares at Miranda for one minute, then turns to address the squad...
Shepard: "Like I said, Garrus, Tali, you're with me. Let's finish this!"
Garrus: "Awesome!"
Tali: "Whoohoo, I call shotgun!"
Jacob: "Take care, Commander, we'll hold the line for you three and keep the Collectors at bay. Good luck."
Shepard, Tali, and Garrus take off on the hoverpod, while Jacob turns back around to address the remaining squadmates.
Jacob: "Ok people, let's keep this simple and clean and with a litle luck, we should all.... uh, Miranda?"
Miranda: "..........."
Zaeed: "Maybe if you 'ere covering your tender lil bollocks with a piece of actual god dam' armor, people might take you a bit more seriously instead of thinkin' you're an Asari hooker wannabe."
