It's not her concern, I don't believe.  If Jack was presently engaging in criminal activity while her and Samara were aboard the same ship, that might be different.  Even then though, she is under the 3rd oath to Shepard, which gives the mission proiority over everything else. 

I don't think Samara is going to sift through the Normandy crew personnel files, and decide who to erradicate for any past criminal activities prior to recruitment, after the mission is completed.


I know she wouldn't act on something Jack did in the past, but what would her opinion be? She's rather unforgiving, if they were stuck in the same room with no 3rd Oath, would they kill each other before they hugged? Cmon, it's the latter, you know it!

@Andaius
So you romanced Jack? NO MORE SPOILERS!

I'm inclined to believe her opinion would be indifferent. Samara has lived her own mercenary past and, by her own admission, discovered a talent for combat at a young age. Who you were, all of your experiences, have only molded you to the person you are today. And it is who you are today that I think Samara uses to form an opinion of you.

Imagine an Earthborn or Ruthless Shepard -- questionable pasts as well, but not ones that I think Samara would concern herself unless Shepard continued with the same mentality.

 Jack worked very well, but Mordin looked terrible texture-wise.


Wait. there was one of those for mordin? Never knew about that.

Blur trailers, right? I think Jack's was done the best, followed by Grunt. I would have liked Thane's if they had gone with a more reptilian texture to his skin versus amphibious. Miranda looked off, more like a character from Final Fantasy than Mass Effect. I really didn't like Mordin's, both with texture and with delivery. I remember thinking that I wanted to like the salarian but his delivery was just so stilted. Which it is, but somehow it works better in the game than the trailer. I heard there was one for Shepard as well, but all I can find is some trailer with some dutch model standin where my Shepard should be.

Good point. I just had a wicked thought; Renegade Shepard and Jack becoming space pirates and Samara chasing them around the galaxy. They'd find it kind of fun, watching Samara try to foil their plans and failing. Then eventually the two would team up to take her down :devil:

And I kinda liked Mordin's FftL trailer. He sounded just like Kirk. And Shepard's was extremely blurry on my eyes.

I believe it would be her concern. The fact that she's a Justicar would dictate so. 

Past behaviour? I don't believe it is a concern under most circumstances.  I suppose there can always be an exception.  Present for Samara to witness?  Yes.
There is quite a lot of grey area throughout the mission, but Samara does warn renegade Shepard at the end.  He is the commanding officer of the ship, so he bears the responsibilty of the crew's actions.  Although, she may hypothetically extend that to certain crewmembers, whose actions she considers wicked/unjust.

Collider wrote...
I;m not sure she'd actively hunt Jack if Jack wasn't doing anything criminal, but if Jack continued after the suicide mission, Samara would by virtue of her allegiance to her code, try to take her down if Jack is in the area.

I don't think that she would necessarily follow her to find out.  Unless she crossed paths with her, and caught her in the act, or she was directed to do so by the Asari Govenment.

A part of Samara is chomping at the bit to test herself against them. Jack and Shepard, though? Might be the extremely rare situation where two Justicars might be needed. Maybe five.

I would say three... two for Shepard and one for Jack....

I think if the crew ever went their separate ways, there'd be a bit of a grace period they'd give each other. Like an unspoken agreement to let them go about their business without getting in each other's way. That's why I don't see Jack immediately looking for the next hit, Samara preparing to enact her version of Justice, Zaeed collecting in on a bounty (which I'm sure Jack still has), Tali or Legion preparing for war, or Jack looking to ruin Miranda's day.

I think simply surviving the suicide mission together gives everyone a free pass with whomever they still have grievances. And once they go their separate ways, they very likely will never cross paths again. The galaxy is too big, their lives too different.

I don't imagine the crew would immediately go their separate ways, though. The Reaper threat is very real to everyone now, and there's no geth war, no collector abductions to distract them from that. If anyone were to leave now, it would make more sense to me that they were leaving on a very specific mission that helps Shepard prepare for the Reapers.

True, I forgot about Shepard, and all he did was grab Samara by the arm and seemingly zapped all her power in the Morinth confrontation. I never understood exactly how he did that lol

I also never considered Shepard being an Adept for a Jack romance. I remember an ME1 conversation in the elevators where Tali said to Alenko "I never seen a human biotic with your skill, Lieutenant. Except you, Shepard, of course". I wonder how an Adept Shepard v.s Jack spar would go.

Now I picture Shepard watching Jack and Samara fight 1v1 with his arms crossed, to see how powerful she is :devil:

I think Samara has simply lived so long, trained so long with her biotics to be caught off guard by much. However, I think an Adept Shepard would meet his match with Jack.

Justicars get missions.  They go out and solve the problem.  That's the purpose of the Justicar.  "If a Justicar is involved, peaceful negotiations are long past."  Rarely are Justicars sent out of Asari space.  Lawless places, like Omega, and Tuchanka, are informally their jurisdiction, but probably only if they have a reason to be there.  Crimes they see along the way they might be authorized to deal with. 

Samara has no reason to pursue Jack for her past crimes.   Samara has a sense of propriety.  She is compelled to save an innocent life, even if it means to let a criminal go.  Also, no criminal in the galaxy poses more of a threat to innocents than the Reapers. 

One would hope that the rest of Shepard's crew wouldn't be stupid enough to start killing one another off, when they were so vital to making the suicide mission a success.  They've all seen what the Collectors can do, they have first-hand proof of the Reapers' involvement in all of this business.  Of what use is their freedom to do what they please if the Reapers are consuming entire planets?  They'd be stupid to remove valuable resources from Shepard's arsenal.

EDIT:  Formatting.

I'd rather not get in to a pissing contest, but I don't think Shepard is supposed to be more powerful in a certain area where an individual is stated directly to be more skilled/powerful than he is, such as Jack.  I don't buy in to super protagonist powers for Shepard.

I think missions just kinda fall into a Justicar's lap wherever she goes in Asari space. Being Asari space, a Justicar's will is upheld foremost above all other forms of punishment. Not so true outside of Asari space, but that wouldn't prevent a Justicar from upholding the Code. But as Officer Dara mentions, using the Code against a non-Asari is just looking for trouble between species. A trivial matter to a Justicar.

I wouldn't, however, be surprised, if there were Sutras that directly address withholding action against non-Asari, circumstances permitting, in order to keep the peace, with the Asari are all for, as well as the Justicar.

Well you don't have to do research to know what crimes Jack has committed. She doesn't exactly keep'm secret. But I don't think Samara will do anything about it, although it would be interesting as hell if she were to try and "bring Jack to justice."

I don't remember who it was, but someone said that Jack was serving her time when Shepard went to get her, so Samara would have no reason to try and arrest Jack. But then again Jack did technically escape from prison, all-be-it a corrupt prison.

As I've stated before... I always wondered how a fight between Samara and Wrex would turn out. Off-topic so don't reply... just ponder.

Yeah Grunt's was awesome, but his voice sounds a bit deeper in that trailer.

Stated directly? You mean "she's the most powerful human biotic"?

So there's no way I can be an Adept, now, I'll just be a weak version of Jack. My ego wouldn't be able to handle it :crying: then again none of the other classes make me feel manly either, now.

I remember saying a War Hero Infiltrator Shepard should be just as good holding off an invasion of slavers with a sniper rifle as Garrus was at holding off three merc bands, but then someone said Shepard will never be as awesome as Garrus. So an Infiltrator isn't as good as Garrus. An Engineer isn't as good as Tali. An Adept isn't as good as Jack. The ME2 Vanguard is pretty awesome, but Wrex is pretty much a krogan Vanguard, so all that awesomeness has been denied. I guess Shepard is only allowed to be a good Soldier.

Shepard is N7. He's no Duke Nukem, or Doom Guy (rip and tear).

Well everyone in the Samara thread has already heard my theory on how Asari matriarchs are more powerful than other asari and the most powerful biotics in the galaxy.

He's the protagonist, and the Commander.   He's the guy who puts all of these extremely talented individuals together, and makes them work, and makes them unstoppable.  If he's truly more powerful than all of them, then the other teammates really are superfluous.

I don't know. Samara said she would have to kill many innocents if she were incarcerated for more than a day, so that she could continue her mission of killing Mornith.
