That's not my way.

Shepard says

Then I'd be no better than the batarians. Besides, Balak won't get away with this. I know who he is now. He can't run forever.

KateI don't even think they knew. When they first arrived, they were talking about getting us back to their ship. They wanted to sell us as slaves.E13 · string 175405
KateWhen Balak showed up, everything changed. It was his idea to redirect the asteroid. Said it was the will of the batarian rebellion. Whatever that is.E14 · string 175406
Continues at: They followed him quickly enough, but--I don't know--I don't think they're all as fanatical as he was.
