That said, what would be a plausible reason for Miri to rejoin the Normandy? And what would her reaction be to Cerberus turing bad?
Hard to say for the first part. The alliance stooges aboard the Normandy would question her every motive, that's for sure. I have for my fic. Some of them even do some digging on Miranda later in the story behind Shepard's back, and report their findings to the alliance. I even have Ashley survive as she uses Spectre autority to put Miranda behind bars briefly. Shepard of course goes ape**** mind you. He has a very tenuous relationship with the alliance at best, really only working for them because Cerberus have proven to be the bad guys due to indoctrination. If you can't tell, I utterly detest the alliance and the council, and while I don't always agree with Cerberus' shady methods, they are the only ones willing to get the job done from the beginning and they stood behind Shepard when no one else would. I still don't completely trust them either, but imo, TIM had a plan, and it nearly succeeded and would have succeeded had he not been indoctrinated. It wouldn't have been my favored outcome, but nonetheless it would have worked. And my Shepard shows this distrust towards Cerberus a lot, especially in ME2. I don't have a huge problem with Hackett, and minus maybe Anderson (who stabbed Shepard in the back in ME2), Hackett is the only person my Shepard has any respect left for in the alliance.
Ok, end rant.
Her reaction would be one of anger and disbelief, much as my Shepard is. She'll comment that Cerberus is no longer the same organization it was a year or so ago, and that now the Illusive Man's methods have stopped being useful and now degrade humanity by there existence. She also questions whether or not TIm was always like this, and she wonders that if he was, how was she so blind to not see it. It kind of leads to an existential crisis of sorts, though she still strongly believes in Cerberus original goals in advancing humanity, and she concludes later that due to Reaper influence, TIM was twisted and corrupted into following a perverted mockery of his former goals and was glad TIM was able to see it on the Citadel long enough to take himself out of the equation so Shepard could do his job.
