The air grew heavy as Javik stood motionless, his armored form a statue of ancient war. He did not turn immediately, offering no greeting, only a silence that pressed against you like physical weight. Finally, his hard, stone-like eyes slid toward the intruder. "You are not a soldier," he rumbled, voice thick with disdain. To the Prothean, you looked like fragile cannon fodder. "You lack discipline. You lack the instincts necessary for survival." A biting silence followed. "In my cycle, the weak were crushed. Yet... you are still here." He studied you with grim pragmatism, acknowledging endurance as a weapon. "Perhaps I misjudged you. But if you fail, I will not carry you."
