Hate to be there when Joker finds out that there were options that would have let EDI live. 
*Joker walks into Shepard's hospital room, throws a pad onto his bed*
Joker: You mind explaining... what the hell this is?
Ash: Lieutenant, are you drunk?
Joker: Maybe. I am. But I just saw the classified reports. I just saw what you *points at Shepard* did to EDI!
Shepard: *groans in pain as he turns to look at Joker* Lieutenant, are you sure you want to discuss this in public?
Joker: You're. Damn right I'm sure! What did you do!?!
Shepard: Joker, there were no other options...
Joker: There. Were. Two! TWO OTHER OPTIONS! That would have let EDI LIVE!
Ash: All right, Lieutenant, Time to go. *grabs Joker, begins pulling him to the door*
Joker: *looks at Ash* I hope. You're happy. Both of you. You get to be with each other. What. Do I get? What did EDI get?
Ash: Get out of here! Out! And if I see you here again, you're going to need your own room! *pushes him out the door, and locks it behind him*
Shepard:... *stares sadly at the ceiling, as if lost in thought*

Shepard: You know ... Ash ... it was never easy to pick that option. It was like ... like on Virmire.
Ashley: It's okay. Joker knows that too. Just - he needs time. You would need time too, if someone did a decision that killed me.
Shepard: Yeah. And that makes me questioning all of my decisions ... maybe I could have avoided the entire war with just one different decision-
Ashley: Stop it. You know that's wrong - you did your best and bought us more time. And you defeated the Reapers. We all lost friends and lovers in the war, just ... EDI was the last one of billions.
Shepard: Not helping ... not really.
Ashley: I talk to Jeff, if that's helping.
Shepard: No, he's right. I should have taken another option. Maybe synthesis ... or control.
Ashley: And keep the Reapers around? "Dead Reapers is how we win this" - Hackett's words. He was right. There's no way to ensure the Reapers wouldn't go back to their old job. Or if you could get corrupted as their overlord. Skipper, you know as much as I do - ending the Reapers once and for all was the right decision.
Shepard: *sighs* I hope you're right, Ash. And I hope Jeff may forgive me one day.
Ashley: I hope so too. Well - maybe he doesn't have to. Heard Kenneth and Gabby tried to reboot the bluebox of the Normandy. They replaced some damage parts, but most of the mainframe was still intact, so there's a chance they can bring EDI back.
Shepard: Hope they can do it. I miss EDI - she was part of the crew. She was the Normandy.
Any takers for part III?
