At the end of the first mission on Mars, is it possible to catch the Cerberus agent?

At the end of the mission on Mars, a Cerberus agent is running away with the data about the Prothean device. I was unable to catch her. Is it possible to catch up with her before she reaches her shuttle and does it matter if I do?


Solution 1:

No, you can't catch her. As a Vanguard, I used Charge to stay within 0-5 meters of her through the entire chase with no effect. She will always reach her shuttle and trigger the cutscene that follows.
