On the planet Miranda the crew looks at Dr. Caron's last moments via a hologram

"I won't live to report this, but people have to know we meant it for the best, to make people safer."
―Dr. Caron's last words before her death[src]

Dr. Caron was a member of the research and rescue team that investigated the strange happenings on Miranda. Her recording of the event noted the Alliance's inadvertent creation of the cannibalistic, xenophobic band that would become known as the Reavers. She correctly identified the reason why millions died, and several thousand became irreconcilably insane: the G-23 Paxilon Hydrochlorate chemical that was added to the planet's air processors had unforeseen effects. As she explained this, the Reavers managed to get into the Miranda and began slaughtering the research team.

As she finished her recording, the Reavers managed to enter the room. Faced with capture, she pointed her pistol to her head to commit suicide. However, before she could pull the trigger, the Reavers disarmed her and took her to the ground, brutalising and eventually killing her.
