Whoever survived Virmire returns as an available squadmate. This will be turned face down should you go on to romance someone else. If you romanced either Kaidan or Ashley in Mass Effect and they survived, a photo of them will be on the desk in your quarters. Whoever survived Virmire will appear in a small role in Mass Effect 2, but they will not join your squad again, nor can they be romanced (regardless of whether you had previously romanced them). Survivor's Guilt: Once you return to the Normandy, you can speak with whoever you saved and they will discuss your decision with you.You lose a Soldier if you sacrifice Ashley, and lose a Sentinel if you sacrifice Kaidan. Party Role: If you're undecided about who to lose, you should take into account who offers a more worthwhile class for your needs based on your own class and party setup.No More Romance: If you were romancing either Kaidan or Ashley and then choose to sacrifice them, naturally this will end the romance or any possible future romances.Lost Gear: You will lose all gear and weapons that are equipped to whoever you choose to sacrifice, so strip them of any good stuff before you go to Virmire.However, the character with the bomb will message shortly afterward to say they are also being attacked. Whoever you sent with Captain Kirrahe will send a message to say they are pinned down by Geth, so you leave the other character setting the bomb while you go and rescue the first. The real decision point comes later, once you have set the explosives for Saren's base. If you fail to do so, Captain Kirrahe will die.

Side Note: Ensure you destroy the Geth Flyers in the north of the map once your team and Captain Kirrahe's team move out. Just remember, whoever you send will not be accessible to you for this mission, so don't send a character you would normally have accompanying you.

Don't panic - this isn't the decision point of who lives or dies, so send whoever you like. Once you reach the Salarian camp on Virmire, Captain Kirrahe will ask for one of your team to accompany him to divert the Geth's attention away from your own team.
