Citadel: I Remember Me

Citadel: I Remember Me is an assignment on the Citadel. It is available if Commander Shepard has the Colonist background.

Shepard gets a call from a Lieutenant Girard, asking for help with a girl who is up on the docking bay. The girl is a survivor of Mindoir who was taken by the batarians but escaped her captivity. She is severely traumatised and waving a weapon. Girard is afraid she'll hurt herself. Knowing the commander's background, he asks Shepard to help - if Shepard can get the girl to take a sedative, Girard can take her to a psych facility where she can get better.

Shepard can go and talk to the girl - whose name turns out to be Talitha - building up her trust to get closer, talking about Mindoir and Shepard's own experiences. As Shepard talks there is the option to take a step toward her. Eventually after taking several steps to get close enough, Shepard can convince Talitha to take the sedative (or not).

Trivia:

If Talitha takes the sedative, she asks Shepard if she'll have bad dreams. This is a reference to Aliens where Newt, the six-year-old sole survivor of the alien attack, asks Ripley the same question.
