The image of Jack doing her taxes is hilarious.  Just sayin'. 

This idea brings forth epic-type thoughts. That would be a hilarious idea for a fic

I wonder if Jack has to pay taxes since she is basically off the grid. Even if taxes exist in the Mass Effect universe I doubt Jack would ever pay them anyway.

I wonder how Jacks missing Identity would effect her relationship with Shepard. How does Jack get pass Bailey and that Turian scanner back on the citadel anyway?

Perhaps if Jack does register her name to become part of the galactic community for whatever reason does that mean all those crimes she did not answer to will catch up to her? Would Jack have to live a clandestine lifestyle is she is in a relationship with Shep since the spot light is aways on Shepard?

Well, think about it this way. What if Shep once more becomes a big figure in the media? Ok, we don't know if there are going to be any repercussion for Shepard's work with Cerberus until ME3 breaks, but let's say that Shep just settles back into being the first human Spectre. He's news. And if douchebags like al-Jilani are following his every move, the galaxy is gonna see Jack. Christ, Thane shows up on Illium to kill someone, the whole place is talking about him!

Think what it's like today; some pop star makes out with some actor at some party and 24 hours later the whole world knows, some actress goes topless in San Tropez and the planet gets to see her nipples too... in the future it can only be worse - tiny robocameras that get into your home, hacked computer systems and omnitools feeding back live video, microbugs on clothing, even real scary sh*t like smartdust circuits that sit on your uncleaned shelves and record sound until the cleaning lady sweeps them up and hands them over to a reporter for a couple of hundred creds. Eventually the world will know, be it from a kiss in a doorway, some innocent holding-of-hands, whatever... eventually their relationship will be public.

On top of that, there are natural issues. Ok, Jack seems not to exist, and chances are if someone was to dig, they'd not find anything about the Cerberus programme that created her; they won't let that stuff get out. But the other crimes she's responsible for? That might get discovered eventually. And naturally, someone might want to start something out of how Commander Shepard's "companion" bears an uncanny resemblance to a woman responsible for doing unsanctioned landscaping on hanar property. I can see maybe some reporter-punching in Shep's future... Jack doing reporter-punching would be messy. And very litigious.

I suppose there's a chance that Cerberus might try to erase a lot of Jack's criminal record in Citadel-space at least. Someone smart enough and nosy enough might well find the trail goes back to the secret black-budgets of the Alliance Command and that murky splinter paramilitary group known as Cerberus. It might be in their interests to run a little damage limitation there, or if Shep pissed off TIM too much, he might let it slide to use Shep's attachment to Jack as leverage... "I can make all this disappear, Shepard, if..."

Then again... can you see anyone in Citadel-space try to take a criminal away from a Spectre? Shep could always say Jack was working within his custody, or was released in order to operate under his congnizance, or he could always pull a Migrant Fleet and try and spin it that her criminal past is balanced out by the fact she was a key part to Shepard saving countless lives from the Collectors...

That was infopollen, and technically not-doable - smartdust is very different... and distressingly, almost very real (though I'm not scared of silly 'grey goo' scenarios, just the idea of some f*cker listening to everything all the time - thought police anyone?) I think I'd rather have the premature dementia of sniffing the wrong flowers.

I can see Jack having a garden though, and growing strawberries and cucumber, and I think she'd like Spider's cat too.

Don't worry, that came across a lot more pedantic than I wanted it to. I know where you were coming from - just one's nearly-real, and the other one is probably a century off at least.

Inhalable computers though that upload directly to the brain? That's hardcore!

Perhaps someone with Renegade-ish elements, or with more moral flexibility (not one of my Sheps is 'pure' Paragon or Renegade), but a pretty solid Renegade Shep... can someone like that care about anyone other than themselves? That's got to be a fine line between actually caring for Jack and just using feelings to keep a solid biotic about with the benefit of getting her in the sack.

Blame them mommy-genes again, but Jack deserves better than that.
