Lieutenant Ganto Imness is a salarian officer serving under Captain Kirrahe. Along with the rest of Kirrahe's STG unit, Imness was stationed on Virmire and led a reconnaissance mission to Saren Arterius' research facility but Imness' team was captured. Imness begs Shepard to let him out as he does not wish to end up like the rest of his team. If Shepard agrees and opens his cell, Imness accepts that he might not outrun the blast, but Shepard's arrival has at least given him a chance to try.
