Apparently you have to have gone and met her at the Citadel earlier on, and warned her about Kai Leng (she sent an email way earlier on asking to meet). The reason she is dead is because Kai Leng killed her, although it's not very obvious from the scene - the same thing happened to me and it is far too late to save her now.

To save Miranda, you MUST read the dossier on Kai Leng and meet her via a holochannel from the Specter terminal after the attack on the citadel.
During the mission, she may also die if you do not persuade her father to back down. 7 days to die edit player file free. If that fails, you have to shoot him. If Miranda shoots her father, then she be fatally shot in return and die.

My reputation was really high, so I took the Renegade option. He let her go, and Miranda survived.

You have to warn her about Kai Leng when you talk to her in Spectre Office.
Not sure does it play part in her surviving, but I also gave her access to Alliance database when she asked.
I did NOT slept with her in ME2.

If you do warn her about Kai Leng and she isn't loyal to you in 2, then she dies. If you don't warn her she dies. I only want to save her if something romantically between her and Shepard and from the looks of it nothing does.

If Miranda is your romance in Mass Effect 2 and you break up with her the first time you meet her in Mass Effect 3, then she will die no matter what actions you take in Mass Effect 3.
If you continue the romance, or did not romance her in Mass Effect 2, then you need to give her the Alliance resources she asks for in the apartment in Presidium. Continuing the romance does not mean it is locked in - you can lock in with another character later - it just means that you should not explicitly break up with her when you meet her the first time.

Hmmm i dont know. I have played through twice so far and both times talked to her about Kai Leng and she did not survive either playthrough. My hypothesis is that she has to be a past romance or at least in an imported save from ME2. Both playthroughs I have done so far have been default non-imports.

Miranda Lawson is a Cerberus operative who was designed to be the perfect woman. She is the head scientist of the Lazarus project which was responsible for Commander Shepard's recovery at the beginning of Mass Effect 2. She is a very serious person who often talks about feelings of inferiority by being an altered human and strives to do well in order to gain acceptance which led her to joining Ceberus in the first place. Her loyalty mission consists of her trying to get her sister back from her father who created them both. She is also a possible romantic interest for male Shepard in Mass Effect 2, is a Biotic and can also command a team during the suicide mission. If Miranda survived the suicide mission from the previous game, she will appear throughout Mass Effect 3. A short time into the game Shepard will receive a message from Miranda informing him/her that she is on the Citadel and wishes to meet with Shepard. Miranda is able to continue a romantic relationship with Shepard, if one was started in the previous game.
How to activate viber without phone number. I am going to buy my first smartphone samsung galaxy S4 android (first time smartphone user) and install and use whatsapp or viber.I read that whatsapp/viber will automatically add all the whole contacts list and all my contacts who have whatsapps/viber will be able to see me on their phone.I have many contacts that I am not close and seldom contact them, I do not want them to be added to whatsapp or viber. How can I do that?I understand that there is a block function, but I do not want to use it to block them because if they are added to my whatsapp/viber and then after that I block them, I think they will know it because I have added them and I am never seen online on their whatsapps/viber.

Miranda Lawson is a fictional character in the role-playing video game series Mass Effect by BioWare. In it, Miranda is an officer of the pro-human group Cerberus, first appearing in Mass Effect Galaxy and then serving as a squadmate in Mass Effect 2. In addition to these, the character also makes an appearance in the Mass Effect: Redemption comic series, in Mass Effect 3 (provided the player does not import a save where she dies), and in issues 5, 6, 8 and 9 of the Mass Effect: Foundation comic series. She is revealed to have been genetically designed by her father (Henry Lawson) to be perfect, and ran away from home to join Cerberus.
Yvonne Strahovski voices Miranda and provided the model for her. Like Strahovski, Miranda was originally blonde but the character was changed to have black hair to complement her 'femme fatale' look. Camera angles and shots were employed to emphasise her sexuality. David Kates composed her theme for Mass Effect 2.
The character was well-received, with Strahovski being nominated for 'Best Performance by a Human Female' in the Spike Video Game Awards. Her design came into attention; however, 1UP.com's Ryan Winterhalter criticised the game's numerous camera shots of her buttocks, something BioWare marketing director, David Silverman defended due to her character.
Character overview
In Mass Effect 2, Miranda Lawson is revealed to be a high-ranking operative of the pro-human organization Cerberus, and has been genetically designed for superior intelligence and physical traits. She is shown to be a capable leader, exemplified with her being one of the few members of the squad who can successfully lead a fireteam in the final mission without anyone dying, despite feeling she does not command respect like Shepard does. Lawson is leader of Cerberus' Lazarus Cell, tasked with reviving Commander Shepard. Aboard the Normandy, the player's spaceship, she is Shepard's second-in-command and Executive Officer, and files mission reports directly to the Illusive Man.
Miranda was the artificially created daughter of Henry Lawson, a rich and powerful businessman from Earth. Rather than give her a human mother to randomize her genetic code, Henry took his own DNA and doubled his X chromosome, hoping to create a dynasty. Unhappy with his attempts to exert control over her life, Miranda joined Cerberus and secretly sent her sister, who was created in the same way she was, into hiding to protect her from their father. Provided the player completes a mission to prevent her sister's abduction, she ultimately becomes loyal to Shepard. In one of the story's possible endings, she proves her loyalty when the Illusive Man gives her an order to prevent Shepard from destroying the Collectors' Space Station by refusing and announcing her resignation before ending the communication abruptly.
Creation and development
Yvonne Strahovski at WonderCon 2009. Strahovski provided both Miranda's voice and face, though the character's hair was changed to black
Humanity's iteration in Mass Effect is meant to be only fairly far in the future enough to be 'new but not unrecognisable'.[1] Through standardizing the different concept art for their clothes, a 'common visual language' was found for them.[2] Early concept art for Miranda focused on balancing her sex appeal with a uniform suitable for her position as a Cerberus officer.[2] Originally conceived as blonde, after her uniform was designed, it was decided black hair would fit better with her 'femme fatale' look.[3]Casey Hudson has said her uniform was made tight due to her being designed to be 'perfect' and 'beautiful'.[4] Miranda Lawson is voiced by and modeled after actress Yvonne Strahovski.[5]
In Mass Effect 2, camera angles and shots such as a close-up of her buttocks were employed to focus on 'her curves and sexuality', identified as key parts of her character, her being someone genetically engineered to be 'perfect' and a femme fatale.[4][6] David Kates composed Miranda's musical theme, intending to 'demonstrate her strength, but also her vulnerable side, and a sadness that is deep inside her'.[7]
Appearances
Miranda first appeared in Mass Effect Galaxy, released in 2009. In Galaxy, Miranda communicates with Jacob Taylor as a hologram and is his main source of information on how to stop the batarian threat.
Miranda returns in the 2009 comic book series Mass Effect: Redemption, where she first encounters Liara T'Soni and Feron on Omega, offering to help them recover the lost Commander Shepard. After meeting Liara with the Illusive Man, she then takes Liara and Feron back to Omega, telling them that Shepard's body is still on the station and instructs them to recover it, with Cerberus reimbursing them for their efforts. Later, when the Shadow Broker's agent Tazzik makes off with Shepard's body to sell to the Collectors, Miranda asks the Illusive Man for permission to stop him, but the Illusive Man tells her to wait, saying that they need to find out why the Collectors are interested in Shepard. Miranda then notices Feron and Liara giving pursuit and asks to follow them, but the Illusive Man once again tells her to wait. At the end of the series, when Liara rescues Shepard's body and brings it to a Cerberus facility, Miranda tells Liara that she has doubts on whether or not Shepard can be revived, but assures her that if it's possible to bring Shepard back, Cerberus will do all they can.

Miranda becomes one of Shepard's squad members in Mass Effect 2. She's one of the top agents of the pro-human organization Cerberus, assigned to supervise the 'Lazarus Project', which was the project that brought Shepard back to life. When Shepard's sent by Cerberus' leader, the Illusive Man, to stop the main antagonists, the Collectors, Miranda joins as the new Normandy's executive officer, giving mission reports to the Illusive Man. Through conversations with her, Shepard learns of Miranda's background. She tells Shepard that she was genetically 'created' by her father, Henry Lawson, who is one of the wealthiest humans in the galaxy. She tells Shepard that she was created to be the genetically 'perfect' human, able to heal from injuries more quickly, and with more powerful biotic abilities, as well as exceptional schooling, all as part of her father's desire to have a 'dynasty' to follow him. Her father's persistence in making Miranda as 'perfect' as possible resulted in her not having a normal childhood, forbidden from having any friends or relations with anybody else, and forced to enhance her abilities constantly. At an old enough age, Miranda was able to escape from her father, hinting that 'shots were fired', and fled to Cerberus, who she had learned her father was an investor to. Cerberus gave her asylum, and her father cut off his support of Cerberus.
Later on in the game, Miranda asks Shepard for help to save her sister. She reveals that her father, after Miranda had escaped from him, created another daughter, Miranda's genetic twin sister, Oriana. Miranda was able to rescue Oriana, taking her from her father and giving her to another family to have a normal life. She tells Shepard that her father has been able to track Oriana down and has hired mercenaries to apprehend her. Miranda has arranged for Cerberus to safely move Oriana and her family away but needs Shepard's help. If Shepard helps, Miranda learns that the only friend she ever had or trusted, Niket, had betrayed her and is working with the mercenaries to take Oriana away. The following confrontation leaves the captain of the mercenaries dead as well as Niket, who, depending on Shepard's actions, is killed either by Miranda herself or by the mercenary captain. Afterward, Miranda sees Oriana with her family, and if Shepard convinces her, goes and meets Oriana, introducing herself to her.
Afterward, if Shepard converses with Miranda more, she admits to Shepard that even though she's supposed to be perfect, she feels that everything she had done is the result of her father genetic tailoring of her, not because of her actions. Shepard can convince her that she gives her father too much credit, saying that while he did give Miranda her abilities and gifts, everything she has accomplished is the result of her using those abilities that she had been given. This seems to reassure Miranda and she thanks Shepard for it.
During the 'Suicide Mission', Miranda can survive or die depending on the player's choices in the mission and also if they do Miranda's loyalty mission.
If the player uses a male Shepard character, they can pursue Miranda as a possible romance.[8] Miranda returns in Mass Effect 3 if she survived the events of the suicide mission in Mass Effect 2. After defeating the Collectors, she has left Cerberus. Given she was a high-ranking Cerberus officer, she indicated the Illusive Man ordered a hit on her, causing her to go on the run. Shepard meets Miranda on the Citadel, where she expresses her concerns that Oriana was found by her father. After a brief contact with Miranda, where she expresses concern that her father is working with the Illusive Man, she asks Shepard to meet her on the Citadel, where she asks Shepard for access to Alliance resources, though she won't say why even if Shepard presses her. If Shepard refuses her access, she accepts Shepard's choice and leaves. If Shepard grants her access, she then confesses that when she had headed the Lazarus Project to revive Shepard, she wanted to put a control chip in Shepard's brain, to ensure Shepard wouldn't go rogue, but the Illusive Man, not wanting to take away who Shepard was, ordered her not to. Miranda admits that she was hypocritical in this since she had been doing everything she could to keep her father from controlling her life and Oriana's. Shepard can forgive her, saying that the main point is that she brought him back.
Later, Shepard finds Miranda in a Cerberus lab disguised as a refugee camp, Sanctuary, where her father had been running experiments on the refugees, as well as her father and Oriana. If Shepard is able to negotiate with Henry to let Oriana go, Miranda then kills him with a biotic attack. If Shepard is unable to negotiate, Miranda will still attack her father to save Oriana, and while she will kill him, he will fatally shoot her in the process. Miranda's fate also depends on if Shepard had warned her earlier on about the Cerberus assassin Kai Leng, who Miranda encounters on Sanctuary. If Shepard didn't warn her, or refused her access to Alliance resources, or didn't do her loyalty mission in Mass Effect 2, Miranda will die. She'll also die if she was romanced by a male Shepard in Mass Effect 2, but then breaks up with her in Mass Effect 3. If Shepard had completed Miranda's loyalty mission, as well as warned her of Kai Leng, Miranda survives and, after taking Oriana to safety, assists in the war effort.
Reception
An example shot when Shepard (right) talks to Miranda, which criticism fell on. Marketing director David Silverman defended the shots, believing 'her curves and sexuality' to be key aspects of her character.[6]
Miranda received a positive reception. BioWare revealed that Miranda's loyalty mission, which had a more 'a touchy-feely' plot, was completed more than Grunt's on PC, but in the case of Xbox 360 players it was the opposite.[9] Strahovski was nominated for 'Best Performance by a Human Female' in the Spike Video Game Awards.[10] Upon hearing news for a potential Mass Effect film, Dan Ryckert of Game Informer looked at the different characters and felt Strahovski should reprise the role, calling her the 'obvious choice'.[11]
Attention was given to her looks. Complex listed her buttocks as one of the best in gaming, commenting 'Miranda is lethal, brilliant and looks just as hot running into battle as she does walking away from it'.[12]Complex also included her at number 40 in a list of the 50 hottest video game characters,[13] and included her as one of 25 'best-looking sideline chicks in games'.[14]UGO.com similarly listed the character as the 'ninth-hottest fictional woman of 2012', calling her a 'sultry brunette'.[15]MSN listed Miranda as one of the hottest women in video game history, commenting 'Genetically designed to be 'perfect', Miranda Lawson knows she's hot, intelligent, and is not afraid to tell anyone about it.'.[16]
However, 1UP.com's Ryan Winterhalter called Miranda one of three areas where Mass Effect 2 was sexist, finding not fault with her concept as a genetically perfect woman, but mainly with the camera's focus on her buttocks.[17] BioWare marketing director David Silverman defended the shots, believing they helped define the character, and also commenting on similar shots for male squadmate Jacob Taylor.[6]

One thing I would really like to see, is a Miranda Lawson preset, that has an accurate and good looking face (faceripped maybe), and a body that is CBBE compatible. Compatibility with eye and hair mods would also be nice. There exist similar files already, but most if not all of them are save files as opposed to presets, and most of them look sort of..wonky, I guess. A skintight jumpsuit would be a nice addition, too. I hope others out there that would also like to see a mod like this, and that an enterprising modder might take this up as a project.
