Gianna Parasini

From Mass Effect Wiki

Gianna Parasini is the human secretary to Administrator Anoleis at Port Hanshan, on Noveria. When the over-zealous guards at the docking bay attempt to disarm Commander Shepard, she orders them to stand down, having confirmed Shepard's Spectre status. Parasini then meets Shepard at the entrance to Port Hanshan and mentions in passing that Matriarch Benezia is on Noveria, having recently travelled to Peak 15. She tells Shepard to speak to Anoleis for a garage pass.

Gianna Parasini is voiced by Wendy Braun.

Spoiler warning: plot and / or ending details follow.

After Anoleis refuses to help, Parasini beckons Shepard over, stating that Anoleis is not the only person with a garage pass, remarking that "you can't bludgeon your way through bureaucracy". She hints that Lorik Qui'in, recently accused of corruption by Anoleis, has clearance to leave Port Hanshan. Shepard can follow her suggestion and, with Qui'in's clearance, raid the Synthetic Insights office for evidence that Anoleis is the one who is corrupt. The commander is forced to shoot several ERCS guards, including Kaira Stirling.

After Shepard and the squad leave Synthetic Insights, Parasini meets them on the stairs and asks about the "reports of noise". She then requests Shepard meet her for a drink in the hotel bar. Shepard can choose whether or not to oblige: if the commander meets her, Parasini reveals that she is an agent for Internal Affairs. She is employed by the executive board and has been investigating Anoleis' corruption, undercover, for six months. However, her position does not give her access to evidence that will help convict Anoleis: "He's a crook, not a moron! He doesn't keep logs on his computer saying 'This month I stole three million credits!' " She asks Shepard to convince Qui'in to testify - his evidence and testimony are everything she needs. In return, she will give Shepard a garage pass.

If Shepard convinces Qui'in, the situation can develop in one of two ways: Shepard can inform Anoleis that Parasini is about to arrest him, allowing him to prepare his pistol for self defense. When Parasini goes in, Shepard hears gunshots, and later finds them both dead. Shepard can then loot a garage pass from their bodies, resulting in a gain of 25 Renegade points.

Alternatively, Shepard can tell Parasini that Qui'in will testify. She is surprised Shepard wanted to help, given that the Spectres can operate outside the law, but she is grateful regardless. She then arrests Anoleis, hauling the salarian off as he demands Shepard arrest Parasini for what she has done. As she leaves, Parasini cheerfully says she owes Shepard a beer. This action will result in a gain of 8 Paragon points.
