You could choose Destroy, you simply didn't want to. You could ignore the Starchild, you simply choosed not to. Nothings steers your will but you and only you. Nothing directs you, you have unbound and free will.

Enough about free will and determinism. I had a dilema about the ending. I listened to what the Starchild said despite the hologram annoyed me to no end. I didn't want to sacriface geth after I achieved peace between them and quarians I desired for so long. I didn't like control because I thought it's too big power for me and nobody deserves it. I didn't want to choose control because I hated Illusive Man who wanted it above all else. I also didn't like synthesis because I didn't want to force everyone to become cyborgs, especially those who never wanted to be cyborgs. I considered for long. I decided to think that forcing everyone to become something else is wrong and worse than too much power. I change reapers and force my will on them by choosing control like I change and force my will on everyone by choosing synthesis. However I never considered reapers as people so my ethics don't include them. I didn't want to destroy geth and I didn't want to turn everyone into cyborg against their will, so I choosed control because I wanted what I considered as the smallest evil.
