Mass Effect 3

Having fought their way through... god knows what... they found the radio in the gunship wreckage. Anderson gets hold of Ashley in the Normandy, then activates the gunship beacon. The comms go down just as more... things... turn up, and Shepard and Anderson try to hold them off until reinforcements turns up... but they're running out of ammo fast.

Then the cavalry arrives. Normandy, in all her beautiful glory, appears to take them away - and Shepard makes her single-focused dash towards her glorious ship. She makes it up to join Ashley on board... then Anderson drops his bombshell -- He's not going. He's staying on Earth to help the people there. It was Shepard who needed to go and build her army to come and wipe the Reapers out.

Shepard is reluctant to go. Plus, she's not Alliance anymore... She doesn't take orders from Admirals now. Anderson has her dog tags  in his pocket - taken from the box on the Normandy that Liara had displayed them in and given to her has a gift just before she left to take down the Collectors. He takes them out, then throws them back at her... then he orders her to go again.

This time, Shepard leaves. But not before she sees that boy again... and what happens to his escape shuttle as it attempts to flee.

On board the Normandy, she hears Joker over the comms, and receives a directive from Admiral Hackett to go to Mars, of all places. But then he mentions Liara is there... so now she really knows it's important. Thus a course is immediately plotted to the red planet, where the Mars Archives apparently held something important enough to require Liara to be involved.
