Maybe you're overreacting.

Shepard says

What kind of proof do you have that the major is dangerous?

Plac TransmissionsThree days ago, we sent two Alliance representatives to meet with him at his compound. They have disappeared. We believe Kyle and his followers killed them.E10 · string 139832
Plac TransmissionsThat compound is a cult, Shepard. They call him 'Father Kyle' now. He's set himself up as some kind of religious leader.E11 · string 1398336 choices

Plac TransmissionsAn Alliance officer named Major Kyle has set up a small compound in the Hawking Eta cluster. He's attracted a number of followers. Mostly biotics.E8 · string 139830 · transition 3257:-1
Continues at: He's become an outspoken critic of the Alliance, and we believe he's mentally unstable. This could be trouble, Shepard.
Plac TransmissionsHe's not the same man you served under. He feels responsible for all the Alliance soldiers who died at Torfan.E12 · string 139834 · conditional 148:3
Plac TransmissionsHis psych evaluations showed he couldn't handle the stress of command any more. He was given an honorable discharge and early retirement.E14 · string 139836

Plac TransmissionsHe used to be a model soldier. But something happened to him at Torfan. Too many Alliance soldiers died under his command. He couldn't cope with the guilt.E13 · string 139835

Plac TransmissionsYes. Major Kyle never showed any biotic tendencies himself, though. I think he's just latched onto a group he identifies with.E16 · string 139838
Plac TransmissionsMany biotics feel marginalized or ostracized by society. Kyle probably sees them as victims who need his protection. And they see him as someone who will fight for them.E17 · string 139839
Continues at: Unfortunately ,he's convinced them that the Alliance is somehow responsible for all of their problems. We can't let him go on like this.

To be honest, Shepard, I thought this thing was going to end in a bloodbath. I don't know how you did it, but you saved a lot of lives. Congratulations.

You served with him; he might listen to you. But he's already killed two Alliance representatives. I'll trust you to use your judgment. Hackett out.
