I didn't say she was trying to fix everything I said she tries to fix everything that even remotely involves itself in her life, this would include cerberus as well. If Miranda is concerned with an issue, she wouldn't trust anyone else to touch it except her. I think if she were trying to save Oriana and Shepard said, "Hang tight, I'll grab Thane and Grunt and we'll go get her for you," she wouldn't only go ahead and do it perhaps on her own, but she'd resent Shepard for it. Not because it has to do with Oriana, but because it has to do with her mission and someone coming in. She's very territorial and that's very evident in her personality.
I acknowledged that Miranda prefers to do things herself. However, that is due to knowying that her abilities will allow her to do things others can not rather than some need to do everything herself.
A good example of that is how, at first, she was upset that TIM had placed Shepard in charge of the team rather than her. This was because she did not believe Shepard was up to the task. When she is proven wrong, she has no trouble letting him lead.
In the situation you presented, the problem would indeed be that she would not trust something she holds so dearly (Oriana) to anyone else. Thus, it is about Oriana or the missing colonists, not herself.
Jtav summed it up pretty well below you.
jtav presented a different option that had nothing to do with Miranda feeling responsible for saving Oriana from their father like you originally suggested. Rather, Miranda living through Oriana which is a completely different issue.
I already answered to it and jtav has added that her theory derivates from a line in ME3 rather than something we can see in ME2.
But I'll add one thing. It's not uncommon for someone who's a victim of trauma to want revenge or want to prevent the same fate befalling someone else.
In such a case, it is still about the victim to be, not the person who has already suffered.
And Miranda risked more suffering to prevent the same fate for Oriana.
The entire relationship between Miranda and Oriana has been by proxy, and the little that has occurred had some dealings with their father.
True, but that doesn't necessarely stop Miranda from loving Oriana. It could have appeared as early as the time Miranda carried baby Ori away from her home.
It does mean that she does not love Oriana the person, however.
If Miranda loved Oriana so much and wanted normalcy for her, she'd quit Cerberus or go to a research position where she could still be immensely influential and relocate somewhere else with her sister. But this isn't even in the realm of possibility for Miranda.
Quitting Cerberus would be stupid. Oriana is already normal with the possible exception of relocations and that is largely due to TIM's influence that Miranda would, most likely, never accomplish on her own.
And of course, there is also the fact that Miranda wants to work for the good of mankind which she believes is better done through Cerberus. She is not with the group just to protect Oriana, she likes it there.
Are you really suggesting Miranda does not love Oriana? It is one of her core traits.
This also points towards the errors I see with her problems reproducing.
What? Her work would take too much of her time?
Possibly but the her SB dossier seems to suggest Miranda has already attempted to get pregnant.
I don't believe it's a coincidence that her medical report comes after her one night stand.
I personally think Miranda's is rife with dysfunction and is perhaps a tragedy or two away from a breakdown. I think outside of her professionalism, her constant stoic nature is a facade that could crumble under the right circumstances.
I don't think there is any facade. The Miranda that wanted to put a control chip in Shepard's brain is as real and valid as the one that begged him not to die.
