No, on Virmire we chose who is sacrificed. With the IT, Control and Synthesis do nothing; you just fail. Since Destroy is the only viable option, there is no way to save Synthetics, period. There is no one else to be sacrificed in their stead; on Virmire I could save Kaiden by leaving Ashely behind or vice versa.
