1st) those Cerberus operatives on board who survived the Suicide mission are alive cause of Shepard. They owe the Commander everything and are ultimately loyal to Shepard. That includes Jacob and Miranda, who considered destroying the base an unofficial resignation. 2nd) Would you give the Normandy back cause your such a good sport? Shame on you. Just take the ship. The Illusive Man's already pissed at you. I know the issue of the tracking and listening devices on board isn't mentioned, but EDI says she sends the reports, so she could stop. Plus Mordin seems good at finding the occasional bug. 3rd) Going back to the Alliance isn't really an option, but Shepard does say I'm going on with this alone. Plus the Commander's fast losing his need for Cerberus. Liara's on your side with intel. You got a sizable amount of allies across the galaxy (Hackett, Anderson, (depending on your choices) wrex or Wreav if your persuasive, the rachni, Legion and the true geth, members of the Admiralty Board on the Migrant Fleet. Someone with Shepard's reputation, history and charisma is swiftly gonna be able to gather support especially when the Reapers come.
