Wasn't that only Sphene though? So deal with the force behind that - and we do by killing her. Could've done that without turning off the terminals (which in the end did nothing at all), and just let the people fade away while still making the fountains work and doing the plays and helping people to give them a happy sendoff if we so wanted.
