Chapter 127: Jump Zero

=== Summary ===
Jack and Miranda hunt Robert Minkowski on Earth, but the mission goes pear-shaped, and Jack is injured.
Shepard visits Kaidan at Huerta Memorial where he and Nimue give her the details of the assassination attempt. Kaidan only escaped the neurotoxin tailed for biotics due to his migraine medication and being wired in the L2 configuration giving them enough time to reach help. Unfortunately, the toxin has wrecked his implants.
While there, Shepard discovers Jack has also been admitted to Huerta due to her injuries. Grappling with the discomforting idea that people weren’t just out to kill her this time, Shepard darkly promises “If any more of my crewmembers land themselves in this hospital in the next twenty-four hours, so help me God, I’ll make you all wish you’d never been born.” Later that evening, Jack and Kaidan swap stories  of how they got stuck in the hospital.
On Earth, Minos operatives assassination of anyone with political power still friendly to the Alliance and unlikely to join their ranks continues apace. Senator Johnson is only their latest victim. 
Hannah Shepard pressures Hackett to tell Shepard about what her father has been doing. Hackett admits that they have confirmed the Marquis’ survival on top of everything else, and that he is worried that because they are demanding too much of Shepard, she is going to collapse under the pressure. Hannah eventually reminds Hackett that he is taking away Shepard’s choices by keeping the information from her. She offers him a deal: she won’t tell her daughter that the Marquis is still alive if Hackett comes clean regarding Robert Minkowski in fourty-eight hours. Captain Shepard herself interrupts the meeting. After they exchange pleasantries, Hackett tells her that her father is the head of the Minos movement, and that he was behind the attempted assassination of Primarch Vakarian. Shepard thinks it over and requests that if possible, not to neutralize him yet- if possible.
That evening Shepard and the rest of the Citadel Council go over the data gathered by the Alarei, while she battles an ever-worsening headache, and worry over her squad in the hospital. While discussing the thorny issue of how to disseminate the dire information without spreading panic, a rachni queen crashes the meeting: Reflections-in-Deep-Waters has been sent by her mother to help the rachni assist the rest of the Galaxy.
