===Dr. Amanda Kenson===

Dr. Amanda Kenson is a human scientist known for her groundbreaking discoveries on the origins of the mass relays.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-02-22-mass-effect-2-arrival-dlc-outed|title=Mass Effect 2 Arrival DLC outed|work=Eurogamer |date= February 22, 2011|access-date=March 17, 2020}}</ref> She appears as a deep cover agent in the ”Mass Effect 2” DLC ”[[Mass Effect 2: Arrival|Arrival]]”, and is saved from batarian captivity by Shepard on her friend Admiral Hackett’s behest. She claims to have found evidence of an imminent Reaper invasion, revealing that her team have set a massive asteroid to collide into a mass relay located within the Bahak system in batarian space in order to slow the Reapers’ arrival. After her entire team is revealed to have been indoctrinated by the Reapers, Shepard has to stop Dr. Kenson from interrupting the asteroid’s course, which culminates in Dr. Kenson killing herself after detonating an explosive device. If the player imports a save where the ”Arrival” DLC is completed, Shepard’s action of facilitating the destruction of the Bahak system’s mass relay in order to delay the Reapers’ invasion resulted in the loss of over three-hundred thousand batarian lives, which leads to their imprisonment and impending trial in the beginning of ”Mass Effect 3”.<ref name=”Hell”>{{cite web|url=https://www.gamespot.com/articles/who-the-hell-is-james-vega/1100-6366008/|title=Who the Hell Is James Vega? |work=Gamespot|date=March 14, 2012 |access-date=March 17, 2020}}</ref>
