Once Javik has been recruited, Traynor expresses sympathy for the relatively frequently attacked colonists of Eden Prime. Shepard can congratulate her on the discovery and choose to evacuate the Academy. A turian transport ship reported that it had responded to the signal, but Traynor is suspicious about the turian transmission since it is similar to one used by Cerberus to lure Shepard to a Collector Ship. When everything's sorted out moments later, Traynor informs Shepard that Grissom Academy has sent a distress signal. She tries to restart the systems, but something's blocking her, and she also reports that EDI's offline. Immediately after the turian primarch's rescue from Menae, Traynor relays to Shepard that the Normandy's comm systems are going haywire, directing the Commander to the source of the problem: Deck Three. Traynor gives the Commander a brief tour of the Alliance-retrofitted Normandy and directs them to speak with Admiral Hackett on the QEC. She is rather flustered on giving her first report to the Commander, and Shepard can choose to be kind or strictly professional. She apologizes for interrupting Shepard's conversation with Liara, after which Liara leaves. Shepard first meets Traynor when she comes up to the Commander's cabin after the meeting with the Council.

Aside from her duties as Comm Specialist, she also notifies Shepard about e-mails and vid calls through the QEC.

Samantha later reveals that she was visiting her parents on her birth planet, Horizon, when the Collectors attacked. She has a strong British RP (Received Pronunciation) accent. Her parents didn't have money for sending her to a university, but she was able to pursue her studies as the Alliance offered her full scholarship after seeing her aptitude scores. Samantha spent some time in England when she attended Oxford University. Her parents were originally from London, but they preferred the freedom of colony life. “There won't be an Earth left to save.” - Spoilers for Mass Effect 3 follow.
