[ME1 ending spoiler] silly decision

I was doing a pretty solid good guy run as my first playthrough of the series, paragon had to be above 80%, but right at the end of the first game when you're given the decision to either save the ship the council is on or keep the normandy focused on Sovereign.. i chose to just ignore the council.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ I thought that somehow Sovereign might actually win if our one ship saved a few people right quick.
