SurveyorLet a terrorist go, or sacrifice innocent lives. I-- I'm glad that's not a choice I had to make.
SurveyorIs that-- will you get in trouble for that? I mean, he could do the same thing somewhere else. Couldn't he?3 choices
FriendlyChoice 1

Wheel

I'm not like him.

Shepard says

Yeah, he could. Balak seemed like a practical man. Practical, but callous. I'm sure if he'd been in my place, Ms. Bowman would be dead now, along with all the terrorists.

Should I have let them die?

You think I should've let him blow up your friends? Sacrificed a few now to avoid possible deaths later?

I did my duty.

Shepard says

There are people in the galaxy who'll kill a human whenever they're given a chance. Balak was one of them. I didn't give him the chance to run away and try again. The price was three lives.

The cost was too high.
