Should you choose Trust or Reward for the Jedi Survivor Senator mind trick?

The Star Wars Jedi Survivor mind trick uses trust or reward to win over Senator Sejan and feels important, considering some crucial information is on the line. Cal needs the code to unlock a terminal and get some crucial information on the Empire that the senator has. However, while it feels like you have to make a call, the choice here actually doesn't matter - neither option has any real consequences and you'll get what you need either way. 

Here's what's going on and what option to chose when this Jedi Survivor mind trick presents itself.

Despite having the option, your choice doesn't matter here - whatever you pick for this Jedi Survivor trust or reward mind trick, Senator Sejan will unlock the terminal for you either way

There's no chance of failure here and it's more about the illusion of control in Star Wars Jedi Survivor. Whether you convince him to trust you, or offer a reward, he gives you the terminal code and you get what you want to continue the story. It also has no long term effect as there's no morality system and he's not a big characters in the game.

This is pretty much the case with all the Star Wars Jedi mind tricks you'll encounter in the rest of the game - you'll get two choices but both are basically the right one and there's no way to fail. It's just a bit of color that doesn't actually affect anything. So just pick whichever you feel is most fitting for your version of Cal Kestis.
