Samara: I am glad I joined your team, Lieutenant-Commander Thorne. It has been too long since I travelled with companions. Fear not. For when the time comes, I will do what's necessary
Thorne: That's good. You're an important part of this crew, Samara. But why did you call me down here?
Samara: It is my honor. Also, there is a matter I wished to discuss. Something that I believe you can help me with even better than Shepard
Thorne: You have my attention
Samara: You already know that I was chasing a dangerous fugitive on Illium. And using the information Shepard has obtained, I have located her. She has been going by the name "Morinth". I would like to apprehend her before she disappears again
Thorne: Where is she?
Samara: She's on Omega. In a nightclub called "Afterlife". Which seems like a perfect place for her to hunt for victims
Thorne: Can you describe her to me?
Samara: She is an asari. An Ardat-Yakshi. It is a term of a dead asari dialect. It means "demon of the night winds". But that is only mythology. Morinth is simply a dangerous woman who wants to kill without mercy
Thorne: So an Ardat-Yakshi is a special kind of murderer?
Samara: Morinth suffers from a rare genetic disorder. When she mates with someone, there is no gentle melding of the nervous systems. She overpowers yours. Burns it out. Hemorrhages your brain. You end up a mindless shell. And soon after, you are dead
Thorne: I can see why you're so motivated to find her. She kills everyone she mates with
Samara: She confuses her victims. Twists their feelings. They will do anything for her favor. If you would help me find and kill her, then there are no words to express what it would mean to me. But... there is one more thing
Thorne: What's that?
Samara: This creature. This... monster... She is my daughter
Thorne: Oh no... And the condition is genetic
Samara: Yes. My daughter's condition is my fault. My redemption lies in killing her. Please, do not pity me. Simply understand my situation
Thorne: How did all this happen?
Samara: I spent my youth on the move, adventuring. I either killed people, mated with them, or just danced the night away. I learned so much. Experienced so much. And then my matron days came. I could finally sit back and enjoy a family. But in one moment, it was all taken from me. I sat in a medical lab while a nearsighted doctor droned at me. And I learned that nothing was as I thought it would be. I gave up all that I possessed. I own nothing. I claim nothing. And all of my knowledge dies with me. And now my purpose is to destroy my own children... I say too much forgive me
Thorne: All is forgiven
Samara: Thank you. Help me find my long-lost daughter and kill her
Thorne: So... what sets me above the rest of the squad? Anyone on this ship is capable of hunting down a fugitive
Samara: Yes, but this is a special kind of mission. I asked the female crew members which male crew member would be the most appealing sexually. The names that came up the most are yours and Garrus. I chose you because you seem to be skilled at thinking on your feet
Thorne: Wait a second. Are you saying...?
Samara: Yes. I want you to seduce my daughter, and then kill her
